Chapter 421
421. Investigation on Xing Chen
Translator: Tracy“You don’t know? Didn’t Xing Chen get caught by He Jingyan? How could you not know?”
Nan Xiao found Wei Wei and asked about Xing Chen.
“I don’t know. How could Xing Chen get caught? Isn’t he with First Prince?” Wei Wei asked in confusion.
Wei Wei pretended to know nothing. He had been exposed by He Jingyan on the spot.
He had an agreement with He Jingyan that he could not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, Xing Chen would be killed.
At this time, Xing Chen had returned to Ke Jie. He Jingyan made him an undercover and asked him to go back to watch over Ke Jie.
Xing Chen agreed because He Jingyan threatened him with Wei Wei and forced him to give in.
“You really don’t know?”
Nan Xiao looked at Wei Wei and asked again. He knew that the latter was easy to frighten. If he was hiding something, he would show some signs.
However, there was only surprise on Wei Wei’s face.
He looked so normal that he didn’t seem to know about this.
‘That makes sense. I’ve made some queries, and the soldiers haven’t heard that He Jingyan caught anyone.’
‘But why did First Prince call me and ask about Xing Chen? How weird.’
‘Forget it. First Prince doesn’t seem to know that I disobeyed his order. I don’t have to worry about it. I’ll think of an excuse to appease him later. He would be happy when I capture Xu Yangyi for him. It is not something difficult. I’ll make up for my mistake by taking Xu Yangyi to First Pricnce.’
Even though Wei Wei looked calm, he was scared to death. However, he had to force himself to deal with Nan Xiao calmly, afraid that He Jingyan had sent someone to watch over him.
“Nan Xiao, did something happen to Xing Chen?” Wei Wei pretended not to know.
Nan Xiao looked down on people with lower status than himself, so he wouldn’t answer Wei Wei’s question. He looked at him coldly and said, “It’s not something you should know. Why do you ask so much? Go patrol. Don’t make others suspicious.”
“Alright, I’ll be off.”
Wei Wei lowered his head and hurried away. When he was out of the sight of Nan Xiao, he let out a long sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death.
“What a piece of trash.”
Looking at Wei Wei who left in a panic, Nan Xiao said with distance. After a while, he called Ke Jie, “First Prince, I’ve investigated it. He Jingyan really did not catch Xing Chen. He should have escaped from He Jingyan.”
Ke Jie looked at Xing Chen, who was kneeling on the side, and asked, “Have you made it clear?”
“Yes, I have asked Wei Wei. He doesn’t know anything about it.”
Nan Xiao answered honestly with awe.
“Okay, I got it.”
Ke Jie didn’t say anything else and hung up. He looked at Xing Chen, who was wounded all over.
Xing Chen knew that Ke Jie couldn’t get anything from Nan Xiao, so he was not worried. However, he was afraid that Ke Jie would be suspicious of him, so he kowtowed and continued to ask for forgiveness, “I failed the mission and let you down. I’m willing to take punishment.”
Ke Jie looked at him and didn’t say anything, as he couldn’t believe that Xing Chen could escape from Dragon Team.
That was the Dragon Team, He Jingyan’s best team. No matter how competent Xing Chen was, he couldn’t escape from them. However, there was nothing suspicious in this. Did he just think too much?
