Who put the yellow robe on me?

Jiang Chen said calmly, "Powerful and wealthy? Boss Zhen, you've been in the capital for so many years. How could you not know about the powerful and wealthy people in the capital, and even the power of the imperial court?"

His tone was calm, but his words carried an undeniable sense of pressure. Boss Zhen's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his lips gradually froze.

Facing Jiang Chen's questioning, he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance. The powerful people in the capital, the powerful people in the court, seemed to all have their own selfish desires, and as a businessman running a gambling house, he seemed to always smell this scent.

"Your Highness," Boss Zhen said, trying to calm the atmosphere, "I really don't know. I'm a businessman, and I only care about my own business. As for other matters...I don't dare to get involved."

Jiang Chen sneered: "You don't dare to participate? But I know that you know a lot of things." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chen glanced at Xiong Zhiheng.

Xiong Zhiheng nodded slightly, a shrewd look in his eyes, and then asked, "Boss Zhen, you can't just keep this a secret!"

Boss Zhen panicked, his fingers tightly gripping his collar as he whispered, "Sir, I...I really didn't know. If I have violated any law, please investigate."

Xiong Zhiheng frowned, his gaze sharp as a knife. "If that's the case, then which fellow humiliated Bai Yinlang? Where is he?"

Boss Zhen's heart trembled. One of the two men in front of him was the Sixteenth Prince, and the other was an official from the Ministry of Justice. Looking around the capital, these two were considered to be top figures. It would not be easy to hide anything from them.

He had to bow his head: "I have already controlled this guy. He is in the warehouse downstairs."

"Lead the way." Xiong Zhiheng nodded, his eyes slightly cold, and then looked at Jiang Chen, "Your Highness, please come with me."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, his eyes glancing over Boss Zhen's face. His intuition told him that there were more secrets hidden behind this gambling house, and that Boss Zhen's words might not be true. Many things might be revealed in this scene.

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly. He didn't say much and just walked behind.

Seeing this, Boss Zhen quickly led the way towards the warehouse. The corridor was dimly lit, the air was filled with a faint musty smell, and the wooden floor creaked under their footsteps. Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly stopped and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Xiong Zhiheng frowned slightly, noticing the change in Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced around, a cloud of suspicion rising in his heart. He stared at Boss Zhen's back with some confusion. While Boss Zhen appeared honest on the surface, his inner vigilance was becoming increasingly evident.

At this moment, Jiang Chen glanced at the corner of the casino and a familiar face caught his attention - obviously an old acquaintance.

His heart moved, and his eyebrows raised slightly. Although he was alert in his heart, he still maintained a calm expression.

Jiang Chen turned his gaze away from the man and whispered in Xiong Zhiheng's ear, "Master Xiong, please go to the warehouse first. I'm going to the toilet and will be right back."

Xiong Zhiheng was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay, Your Highness, please do as you please."

"Boss Zhen, please take Mr. Xiong with you first. I'll be there in a moment." Jiang Chen smiled at Boss Zhen and spoke gently, but he was already walking towards the toilet in the casino.

Although Boss Zhen was full of questions, he still responded respectfully, "Your Highness, please."

Jiang Chen walked through the noisy gambling house. His steps were light and unhurried. From time to time, he could hear the noisy sounds of gambling and excited shouts.

He looked around casually, and suddenly, he slowly stopped beside a gambling table.

"Heavenly card! Kill all! Kill all! Come on, give money! Everyone give money!" A crisp voice laughed.

Jiang Chen looked towards the voice and saw a young man in gorgeous brocade clothes sitting at the table. He had handsome features and a relaxed expression, and was playing with a game with great pleasure.

He involuntarily walked towards the gambling table, a playful smile on his face, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "Young Master Situ, you are in such a refined mood!"

The young man turned his head abruptly and was visibly startled when he saw the newcomer. Then, his expression became extremely surprised: "Sixteenth Young Master? Why are you here?"

Jiang Chen smiled, his words carrying a hint of relief: "I couldn't help it, I wanted to play a couple of rounds."

This young man is none other than the young master of Tianxiang Pavilion - Situ Yongrui.

Situ Yongrui said to his attendant, "Ada, come over and help me play a couple of rounds, but don't lose everything!"

Jiang Chen could feel his shock at that moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

Situ Yongrui pulled Jiang Chen to a corner and said with a bit of nervousness that was hard to conceal, "Sixteenth Young Master, why are you here?"

Jiang Chen looked at him in surprise: "Yeah, I couldn't help but come and play a game."

Situ Yongrui raised his hand to signal him to sit down first, then whispered, "My father told me to be careful and avoid appearing in public places like this. Sixteenth Young Master, you... should not be too conspicuous."

Jiang Chen was a little confused at once. These words were quite meaningful, but he did not ask any further questions. He just agreed, "Yes, Pavilion Master Situ is absolutely right. It's all my fault. I got into trouble."

"Pavilion Master Situ?" Situ Yongrui was startled, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, forcing a smile on his face and speaking in a somewhat dignified manner: "Sixteenth Prince, His Majesty has asked you to find the Thirteenth Princess. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

However, Jiang Chen had already had doubts in his heart. Situ Yongrui spoke so cautiously, obviously he was aware of his identity.

This sixteenth prince is not that sixteenth prince!

It seems that the young master of Tianxiang Pavilion probably knew something a long time ago.

In this split second, Jiang Chen couldn't care less. He just followed the principle of saying whatever he could and took advantage of the situation.

"Young Master Situ, did Pavilion Master Situ say anything else?" Jiang Chen continued to ask, with a hint of casualness in his tone, but trying to grasp more clues.

Situ Yongrui seemed a little anxious and immediately changed the subject: "My father didn't say anything, but I myself... You know how old I am. Why can't I have some fun?"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Okay, okay! What a good trick! It seems that Situ Yongrui is no longer willing to say anything more about the other sixteenth prince."

But Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Haha, Young Master Situ, maybe Pavilion Master Situ is afraid that the night watchman's murder two days ago will affect you."

Situ Yongrui said nonchalantly, "Hey, it's just a gambler who got poisoned. It's no big deal! Who made his wife fall in love with Boss Zhen's nephew?"

what? ?

A drugged gambler? His wife is being taken advantage of? Boss Zhen's nephew?
