Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 579

"Your name is Captain Zhang?" The prince asked without saying whether he agreed or not.

Team Leader Wang hesitated for a moment before finally giving his real surname: "Your Highness, I was transferred from a side courtyard. My surname is Wang..."

Then he felt that there was no point in arguing about this at this time, and hesitantly said, "... Zhang is fine."

The prince originally wanted to have the team leader dragged away and given fifty lashes, but he was afraid that if he drove away Team Leader Wang, another Team Leader Li or Team Leader Zhao would come later.

"You stay here alone and guard outside." The prince jumped off the table and walked barefoot towards the bed, restraining his voice. "It's scary to transfer your people away. I can't sleep."

"This……"

"Can't do it? Do you need me to go find my father?"

Team Leader Wang took a deep breath and compromised, "I obey your orders."

The others had no choice but to obey and leave.

Manager Zhao had just retreated and when he stepped out of the door, he felt a pain in his foot, as if he had hit something.

She lifted her leg and saw that it was another small trinket that should have been placed on the viewing table.

I picked up the ornament with some confusion, wondering why there was one at the door when there was already one on the ground in the inner room?

Before she could figure it out, the prince smashed a piece of jade. The crisp sound exploded not far from the door, startling everyone who heard it.

Soon, just as the prince wished, he was the only one left in the room.

Instead of walking towards the bed, she walked to a position next to the bed and looked around, looking for something.

That was exactly the place where Li Huoyue disappeared last. Li Huoyue also saw the young master below and knew what the young master was looking for.

After waiting for a while and making sure that only the team leader was around, Li Huoyue finally appeared as the prince expected.

As soon as he appeared, the prince grabbed Li Huoyue's hand and waved to him to lean over and listen.

Li Huoyue also grabbed the child's hand in return, then lowered his head to cooperate.

"Sister Li, can you do me a favor?" The prince whispered in Li Huoyue's ear, stepped back a little, and looked at Li Huoyue with an anxious and pleading look.

Li Huoyue raised his eyebrows but did not express his opinion.

Seeing Li Huoyue's nonchalant look, the young master became even more anxious and leaned over again, "Sister Li, I know you are looking for your mother. My sister and I met her a few days ago."

Li Huoyue never thought that the news he had been looking for for so long would be unexpectedly learned from a child.

The unexpected gain shocked her mind, and many thoughts and doubts unconsciously mixed in her mind at the same time.

How did the child know what she was looking for?

She clearly came here today just to see who would use such a crude kidnapping method to "invite" her.

How could her mother, who had never been heard from, appear just two days ago and she knew nothing about it?

Are the spies of the Li Mansion not as good as two kids?

If what the child said was true, then it seemed that the mother was still alive as Mrs. Jin said, but why didn't she go home?

Li Huoyue subconsciously bit the tip of her tongue again, and a sweet and fishy smell brought her back to her senses.

Throwing aside some of his chaotic emotions, Li Huoyue adjusted himself and asked, "Where did you meet?"

Li Huoyue knew that the other party would definitely use conditions in exchange, but no matter what, someone would always ask this question.

"I can tell you, no matter what you ask, I can tell you, but you have to help me, okay?" The prince looked pitiful, and the tears he had been holding back were about to burst out.

The prince is the one who holds the bargaining chips, but he is still afraid that Li Huoyue will not accept the challenge. Li Huoyue is the only one she has now.

"What can I do for you?" Li Huoyue asked, and then continued, "Besides, I don't know if what you said is true."

Li Huoyue said this deliberately to force the child to provide more clues.

The prince held Li Huoyue tighter, "I want you to help me steal my sister's body away tonight. By then, you will have my sister's body in your hands. Are you afraid that I will tell lies?"

The whispered communication did not affect the prince's sincere and serious attitude, and the firmness in his tone was conveyed very accurately to Li Huo's ears.

Li Huoyue almost doubted whether she had heard correctly. What did this kid ask her to steal?!

She didn't let her guard down just because the other person was a child. She held the other person's wrist tightly with one hand and climbed onto the other person's neck with the other hand. With a little force, she whispered slowly and quietly, "I wanted to ask you just now, do you know who I am?"

When the prince saw Li Huoyue's hand pinching his neck, he instinctively panicked and feared for a moment.

However, when her eyes met Li Huoyue's face, she relaxed unconsciously and nodded seriously.

Even in dim light, the slightest change in facial expression could not escape Li Huoyue's eyes.

"Why?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Why do you know who she is?

How could the two of them know each other even though they had never met, and even developed an inexplicable trust in each other?

The prince did not have the conversational logic of an adult. He did not know what Li Huoyue was asking. He tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled.

Li Huoyue realized that the other party seemed to have not understood, so he changed the question and asked, "When did you get to know me?"

The prince shook his head, "I don't remember, we knew you a long time ago."

"Where did you know me?" Li Huoyue asked again.

She didn't attend the party, and the only place where the two of them had any contact was probably on Shengyu Street.

But even if Li Huoyue didn't deliberately collect information, she knew a series of rumors about herself outside. After hearing these rumors, how could a child still have such strong trust in her?

The prince's next answer was beyond Li Huoyue's expectations.

"There's a portrait of you in Father Zuo's room, and he often talks about you with Father." The prince said this, then blinked at Li Huoyue. She wanted to smile, but now she couldn't. "And your third brother often comes to play with us. He's the first person in this mansion who can tell me and my sister apart."

Zuo's father?

portrait?

third child?
