He waved his hand casually, as if brushing off the dust on his sleeves.

But this seemingly unintentional action invisibly issued a silent order to fight. The guards around him instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy. They tensed their bodies, their eyes were sharp and fierce, ready to go as long as the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Jin gave the order.

Then he will capture the two people in front of him.

Hua Jianli's hand quietly reached for the place where the hidden weapon was hidden, but the cold touch made her feel cold in her heart.

The other side had more people and more power. The hidden weapon in her hand was just a faint star under the dark clouds and could not compete with them at all.

But why would he be afraid?

Hua Jianli sneered and pointed the black tip of his gun steadily at Xuanyuan Jin.

The voice was as clear as ice: "Well, let me see whether the Fourth Prince is more powerful or I am faster."

Before he finished speaking, and before the guards could make any move, Hua Jianli decisively pulled the trigger, "Bang Bang--"

Two gunshots rang out, exploding like thunder in the silent air.

Xuanyuan Jin only felt a sudden shock under his feet. When he looked closely, he saw two holes suddenly appeared under his feet and dust was flying.

His heart suddenly sank and his face was full of disbelief. He never thought that the person in front of him would actually dare to take action!

Cold sweat instantly broke out from his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen if this hidden weapon fell on him.

For the first time, Xuanyuan Jin felt that he, the high and mighty Fourth Prince, had no deterrent power at all at this moment.

It would have been fine if this person had dared to challenge him openly, but now he actually had the guts to fight him.

He felt like a clown stripped of his gorgeous coat, looking miserable in front of everyone.

"Let them go!" After a long silence, he finally squeezed out these words from between his teeth with difficulty, with a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in his voice.

"Fourth Prince!" Hua Jin shouted anxiously, his lips trembling slightly, as if he had a lot to say.

But before she could finish her words, Xuanyuan Jin angrily stopped her: "This prince said let them go!"

The sound was like thunder, buzzing in Hua Jin's ears.

"Fourth Prince, you can't let them go..."

Hua Jin walked quickly to Xuanyuan Jin, reached out and held his hand tightly, her eyes full of anxiety and reluctance, trying her best to stop his decision.

"What?" Hua Jianli sneered and quickly pointed the gun at Hua Jin's head.

There was a chill in her eyes. "The eldest lady of the Hua family is not satisfied with the Fourth Prince's decision. She is now in charge of the family? She is overstepping her authority?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanyuan Jin was like a lit powder keg, his eyes wide open, glaring at Hua Jin fiercely.

Although he doted on Hua Jin on weekdays, he never allowed her to disobey him.

In his eyes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is nothing more than a plaything for his entertainment. If one dreams of getting more, it is impossible!

"Fourth Prince, Jin'er has absolutely no such intention."

Hua Jin was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and expressed her loyalty in a trembling voice, "It's because this man humiliated the Fourth Prince today, and Jin'er's hatred is hard to let go."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanyuan Jin's expression eased a little, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

But Hua Jianli looked at Hua Jin as if he were a fool, with a slight smile on his face, "If you don't say it, maybe the Fourth Prince has already forgotten what happened today. You repeatedly reminded everyone that the Fourth Prince was stripped naked in front of everyone today, what is the meaning of this?"

Hearing Hua Jianli's words, Xuanyuan Jin's face turned red instantly, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.

He once again cast his angry gaze at Hua Jin and waved his sleeves vigorously, breaking free from Hua Jin's tightly grasped hand.

He didn't care whether others remembered it or not, but he himself clearly recalled that unbearable scene at this moment.

damn it!

This charlatan was right. If Hua Jin hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it.

Now when I look around, I always feel like everyone is laughing at me.

Hua Jin was extremely annoyed. She bit her lips, her eyes full of grievance and anger.

She admitted that she could not win the argument with this charlatan. Every word and every look of this man was like a sharp dagger, instigating the relationship between her and Xuanyuan Jin.

She couldn't understand why this person did this?

What made her even more angry was that

Xuanyuan Jin, who usually doted on her, was easily instigated by just a few words from this man.

Before she could react, Hua Jianli said slowly, "Oh, I see. You are trying to ask the Fourth Prince about the 100,000 taels of silver. Don't worry, the Fourth Prince has a big family and a lot of wealth, so he won't be short of your money..."

Xuanyuan Jin glanced sideways, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Is this what Jin'er meant?

Hua Jin clenched her palms in anger, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She loudly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hua Jianli pinched his fingers slowly, with a mysterious smile on his face: "I am not talking nonsense, everyone knows that you owe Princess Anyang a million gold. Now your grandfather has a conflict with you and your mother and no longer supports you, which is why you and your mother have emptied the family's wealth. Now 100,000 taels is not a small amount for you and your mother."

Hua Jin suddenly panicked and her face turned pale as paper.

She couldn't understand how this person could know so much about their family affairs.

Who told him?

Hua Jianli was too lazy to argue with them anymore. She was thinking about the Dali Temple in her mind. She thought that Qin Changge must have prepared ten times the gambling debt.

Thinking of the white silver, her heart seemed to be filled with countless little bubbles of joy.

She took two steps forward and suddenly stopped, as if she was being pulled by some invisible force. Then, she slowly turned her head, with a look of determination on her face, and said, "By the way! Fourth Prince, we will never meet again!"

Xuanyuan Jin just stood there, motionless, watching her and the other person gradually walk away. His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and every inch of his eyes followed the backs of the two people leaving until they disappeared from the end of his sight.

"Fourth Prince..." Hua Jin's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquettishness. In her opinion, how could they let that charlatan go so easily? That charlatan had made them look so ugly in front of everyone, and they had to teach him a lesson.

Xuanyuan Jin slowly raised his hand and stroked his forehead.

Today seemed like a nightmare to him.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the high and mighty Fourth Prince in this imperial city, able to get whatever he wanted. He had never suffered such humiliation.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be tangled in a tangled mess, full of hatred, hatred burning like a raging fire in his heart; full of anger, anger like a volcano about to erupt; and full of pain, this pain spread from his head to his body, and finally hurt his heart severely.
