Chapter 760: Wonderful Counterattack, Thrilling 3
Lin Bei and the eldest prince returned to China as planned the next day. Yuan Junlin came to see them off in person, and Tang Ling also came.
Tang Ling's face had returned to its usual indifference. There was not much emotion on his face. When he looked at Lin Bei, his eyes were extremely calm, as if there was really nothing between the two of them.
Lin Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him like this, but she felt a little tight in her heart, which was a little uncomfortable. But this was the result she wanted most, so naturally she wouldn't say anything more.
Originally, Yuan Junlin wanted Tang Ling to take Lin Bei and the others to the airport, but Tang Ling refused, so Yuan Junlin could only arrange for someone else to take them there.
"Lin Bei, what's going on between you and Tang Ling?" When they arrived at the airport, the eldest prince looked at Lin Bei, who was slightly distracted, and couldn't help but ask.
"What? What relationship can I have with him?" Lin Bei came to his senses, and his first reaction was to quickly distance himself from the relationship.
The eldest prince glanced at her and said nothing more.
Lin Bei stopped in his tracks, slowly turned his eyes, and glanced behind him. It was just an accident between him and Tang Ling. Everything was an accident. Since it was an accident, naturally there could be no relationship. Everything was
it's over.
Yesterday, he and Tang Ling had made everything clear and everything was over.
"What's wrong? You look distracted?" After sending the two princes off, Yuan Junlin looked at Tang Ling with a bit of doubt in his eyebrows: "The little prince has helped you a lot this time, let you go
You don’t want to see me off? This doesn’t seem like your style? Is there something going on?”
It was for this reason that Yuan Junlin asked Tang Ling to see off the two princes before, so Tang Ling refused, which surprised him.
When Tang Ling heard what he said, his already gloomy face became even darker. He pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.
When Yuan Junlin saw him like this, he couldn't ask any more questions.
And Gu Qingcheng was a little surprised when she got the news that the little prince had left like this. He didn't expect that there would be something that Tang Ling was trying to resolve?!
Gu Qingcheng sighed softly. She originally planned to rush there yesterday, but Jing Lanchen called her and told her that she didn't need to go.
Of course, Jing Lanchen also told her everything that happened at that time.
Xiao Wang confessed his love to Jing Lanchen, and Tang Ling accidentally heard it?! This was such a coincidence, it was clearly designed by the little prince.
Gu Qingcheng originally thought that Tang Ling would find a solution, but he didn't expect that the little prince would leave so quickly.
In this way, the little prince's plan was considered a success.
Gu Qingcheng knew Tang Ling well. She knew that Tang Ling's determination would never change, but now Tang Ling just let the little prince go?!
So she knew that this matter might not be that simple.
I have to say that this little prince is not simple.
However, after all, it was a matter between Tang Ling and the little prince, and it was not easy for others to interfere.
In front of a tall building in Jincheng, Shangguanhong stood looking downstairs and said nothing.
Butler Zhong stayed by his side and didn't speak. This was where they first got the news about the little princess. Of course, after so many years, things here have completely changed.
"A-Zhong, how many years have you been with me?" Shangguan Hong turned his eyes slightly and looked at the old housekeeper, his eyes were flat and his tone was gentle, sounding like a normal chat.
Ah Zhong, however, broke out in a cold sweat. He knew very well that the city lord would not ask this question without any reason.
"City Lord, I have been following you since I was sixteen, and it has been almost fifty years now." Ah Zhong was frightened, but he still answered. When Ah Zhong answered this question, his expression became a little softer.
When he was sixteen years old, the city lord rescued him. From then on, he stayed with the city lord, studying with him, training together, and traveling around the world together.
He witnessed everything the city lord did. The city lord took over the Ghost City at the age of fifteen. In just five years, he more than doubled the power of the already powerful Ghost City.
In just five years, the city lord has truly become famous all over the world.
But later the city lord was betrayed by his brother, his wife died, and the little princess disappeared.
The city lord was seriously injured and was in coma for a long time. When he woke up, he started looking for the little princess.
But later, after the little princess was found, the city lord became increasingly unhappy and even depressed.
"From now on, the ghost city will be handed over to you." Shangguan Hong looked at the butler who accompanied him, and there was finally a hint of emotion in his eyes. After experiencing the current betrayal, he no longer trusts people easily.
Ah Zhong is the one he has always trusted the most.
"City Lord, you can't..." A-Zhong was just guessing at first, but now that he heard the City Lord's clear explanation of his funeral affairs, he gasped in shock and his body started to tremble.
"A-Zhong, I'm getting old. I came to Jincheng this time. I don't want to take care of things anymore when I get back." Shangguan Hong's eyes slowly turned and he looked at the building in front of him again. His gentle words seemed to be addressed to A-Zhong.
It sounds like it was said to oneself.
"City Lord, we may find something interesting when we come here this time." The housekeeper really hoped that something would happen, or that he could discover something about the past.
Otherwise, the city lord may really be desperate.
The housekeeper knew very well that the city lord had always disliked the little princess since she returned, and now the city lord had no regard for the princess at all.
Shangguan Hong still stood upright, neither moving nor speaking. His eyes were looking forward. The gaze was clearly very close, but it felt far away, because he couldn't see what he wanted to see...
"City Lord, our power in Jincheng has grown more and more over the years. This time, we also brought many of your secret guards with us. This time we can investigate the events of that year in depth. Maybe there will be another incident.
Something has been discovered." Seeing that his city lord remained motionless and silent, A-Zhong was even more worried. All he could do now was try his best to give the city lord some comfort and try his best to let the city lord see some hope.
In fact, he also understood in his heart that some things could not be changed, although he was not satisfied with some of the current princess's actions, because some of the things the princess did were too chilling and made the city lord sad.
However, the princess and the madam look alike, and a paternity test was done back then, so it is unlikely that there will be any mistakes.
So the possibility of discovering anything again is actually very slim.
"Perhaps we can find Ah Yue and the others." Although Ah Zhong also understood that those hopes were ethereal and far away, and the hopes he mentioned were equivalent to mirages to the city lord, but having hope was better than having no hope at all.
If there is no hope in the heart of the city lord, the city lord may not be able to hold on anymore.
