I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

So... Shen Lanxi had known for a long time that he was pretending to be unconscious, and deliberately revealed the news about Shen Nian in front of his bed in order to lure him into the game?

Shen Guiling's lips curled up in a cold arc, and there was no smile in his eyes. "Brother Lan Xi is really good at this."

Shen Lanxi's expression remained unchanged. He only glanced at her calmly, "Do we have time to interrogate him now?"

"of course."

Now that Shen Nian is gone, doesn't he have plenty of time?

Shen Guiling placed the water cup in his hand on the table with a clear, crisp sound. He raised his eyes, his expression light and a hint of a smile. "Lead the way."

Shen Lanxi glanced at him, then turned and walked ahead. He didn't stop as he passed Shen Qingyu. His pair of icy, noble eyes lifted slightly, his gaze slashing across like a thin blade, carrying an unmistakable warning.

Wasn't Shen Qingyu raised to be frightened? He immediately twitched his lips, letting out a sneer, and with his hands in his pockets, he followed with a reckless pace, neither hurried nor slow.

The interrogation room was hidden deep within the mansion, the air thick with the chilling smell of disinfectant and rust. The only light streamed down from overhead, its incandescent intensity revealing even the smallest specks of dust.

Anti was restrained to a metal chair in the center of the room, her wrists clasped in specially designed restraint locks. Her head was bowed, her long hair obscuring her features, only her slightly undulating shoulders hinting at a hint of life.

The iron door creaked, and Shen Lanxi entered the house first. Three tables and chairs had already been prepared in the house.

Shen Lanxi had no intention of asking any questions. She walked straight to the chair and sat down gracefully, as if what she was seeing was not an interrogation but a drama that was about to begin.

"Loading."

Shen Qingyu sneered softly, and pulled out his chair heavily like a "loader", crossed his legs, and stared at Shen Guiling with a gloating look.

In fact, both of them knew that Shen Guiling was hiding a secret, but they had no evidence, so it was useless to say anything.

Shen Guiling, relying on this very fact, leisurely strolled to An Ti's front. His figure, like a mountain collapsing, slowly enveloped her. He didn't rush to speak, but instead regarded the woman before him with a cold, almost object-like gaze.

"What's your name?"

Anti trembled very slightly, but still showed no intention of looking up.

"Tsk," Shen Qingyu frowned, his face full of impatience, "Do you know how to interrogate? You're making friends here? Why would you ask for my name right away?"

Shen Guiling turned half of his face to the side, his voice steady and calm: "Then you come?"

Shen Qingyu was speechless for a moment, holding his breath and looking away.

Shen Guiling turned back, his deep eyes surging with undercurrents, his emotions unclear. "Do you know me?"

Shen Qingyu finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes at his back and grumbled in a low voice, "Is he sick?"

Shen Lanxi sat quietly aside, like an outsider spectator, watching everything in front of him coldly without saying a word.

Anti still had her head lowered, without any reaction.

Shen Guiling frowned, turned to face Shen Lanxi, and said calmly: "I can't find out."

Shen Lanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, a subtle look of surprise flashing across his eyes. His younger brother had always been good at dealing with people, but now that he was out of Country A, he didn't even bother to put on a show?

It was a rare sight for Shen Qingyu to see Shen Lanxi being humiliated, and she couldn't help laughing for a moment, covering her stomach with her hands, and her shoulders were shaking with laughter. It seemed that it wasn't so easy for Shen Lanxi to catch Shen Guiling by the tail.

Shen Lanxi quickly regained his usual composure, stood up, and said, "Since I can't find out, there's no point in staying. Gao Zhi."

"Yes." Gao Zhi, who was guarding outside the door, responded and pushed the door open.

Shen Lanxi's voice was cold and clear, leaving no room for negotiation: "Get rid of it."

"Yes."

Gao Zhi walked towards Anti with an expressionless face. The metal legs of the chair made a harsh sound when they rubbed against the ground. He leaned over and was about to unlock the special restraining lock.

Suddenly, Anti, who had been like a puppet a second ago, suddenly raised her head. There was no fear in her eyes, but her bones were twisted like an alien. She twisted her arms and used the rope to strangle Gao Zhi's neck.

Gao Zhi was caught off guard and his vision went dark. By the time he came to his senses, An Ti had already turned over and strangled him on the interrogation chair.

Things changed so quickly that the faces of the three people opposite suddenly changed. Just as they were about to step forward, An Ti moved the tip of her tongue and spit out an extremely fine needle from her mouth. The needle shot towards the pale and dazzling incandescent light above her head with incredible precision.

"Bang-bang!"

There was a sharp explosion! The light bulb shattered instantly, and glass fragments rained down like rain. The entire interrogation room was completely plunged into pitch-black darkness, with only a faint smell of burning in the air.

"Fuck!" Shen Qingyu cursed in the darkness.

"Stop her!" Shen Lanxi's cold voice sounded almost at the same time, with a hint of sternness from being unexpectedly angered.

However, it was still a moment too late.

"Squeak-"

The iron door was suddenly opened and slammed heavily against the wall. A blurry and agile figure, like a cheetah escaping from a cage, instantly merged into the shadows of the darker corridor outside the door.

The interrogation room was in chaos. Faint light from outside the corridor seeped through the crack in the door, vaguely outlining several standing figures.

Gao Zhi seemed to struggle to stand up, and said in a panic, "Master, she ran away."

There seemed to be a layer of frost on Shen Lanxi's cold face, and her black eyes were sparkling and deep in the dim light.

"She can't run away, go find her."

*

Shen Guiling did not participate in the doomed pursuit. He quietly retreated from the chaotic interrogation room and returned to the ward filled with the faint smell of disinfectant.

The door closed behind him, blocking out the noise from the outside world. Only a dim wall lamp remained in the room, casting a vague halo of light in the corner of the wall.

He didn't turn on the light, but walked straight to the sofa and sat down. His voice was calm, as if he had expected it: "Come out."

The shadows squirmed, and an agile figure quietly emerged from behind the thick velvet curtains.

The black shadow was the fleeing Anti.

She stood against the wall, her breathing even, but her eyes were surprisingly bright in the dim light.

"You knew I would come to see you." Her voice was hoarse and she spoke in authentic Country A dialect.

Shen Guiling turned around, his back facing the faint light outside the window, his face hidden in the shadows, his expression unclear.

Seeing him remain silent, Anti's fingertips curled slightly, as if she had made up her mind. She took a step forward, her voice low but clear: "Your Highness, I hold no ill will towards you." She paused, then corrected him, "No! I should say I am absolutely loyal to you. Please believe me!"

"Loyalty?" Shen Guiling repeated softly, the word flowing between his lips and teeth, carrying a hint of long-standing and unfamiliar mockery.

He tilted his head, his eyes scrutinizing the woman in front of him as if he wanted to see through her skin to her soul.

An Ti nodded heavily, walked firmly to Shen Guiling, bent her right knee, touched the ground with one knee, and looked up at him: "Your Highness, please believe that my loyalty to you is far more important than my own life."

Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Even if I won't go back?"

"Yes, if this is your wish, I will firmly support it." She answered firmly without any hesitation.

Shen Guiling fell silent again, his fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest of the sofa.

There is no way Shen Lanxi would send Shen Nian back to Shen Garden so easily. Since he could see that there was something wrong with him, he must also be able to see that there was something wrong with Shen Nian. He would never send someone with problems to live with his grandfather.

Therefore, Shen Lanxi is still lying to him, and Shen Nian must still be in Country S.

Since Shen Lanxi insisted on fighting with him, there was no reason for him not to accompany her.

However, Shen Lanxi has the entire Shen family as her backing. If there is no external force at this time, I am afraid she will lose...

Suddenly, Shen Guiling's eyes focused, and all his distracting thoughts subsided. He turned to look at An Ti, who was still kneeling on the ground, and his voice returned to its usual coldness: "Can you find out where Shen Nian is now?"

An Ti responded almost without thinking, "Please give me half a day, Your Highness. As long as he is still in Country S, I will find him for Your Highness no matter where he goes."

Shen Guiling slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his seemingly gentle eyes carrying a hint of inquiring inquiry. "You don't seem worried at all about not being able to get out?"

It seems that the young prince has some misunderstandings about her.

Although the big guy was powerful, she was also quite skilled. If she hadn't wanted to stay and show her loyalty to Shen Guiling, she would have escaped that night. She didn't leave with Bai Mi because she wanted to tell Shen Guiling that she was different from those people in the royal family.

An Ti looked into those eyes that looked like an old friend, her mind full of thoughts. She said softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If you can't even handle such a small matter, you don't deserve to be by Your Highness' side."

Without waiting for Shen Guiling's response, she raised the corners of her mouth and said as if performing some kind of ritual, "Your Highness, my name is Anthea, which means blooming like a flower in Greek. I have known you since you were very young."

After saying that, An Ti suddenly jumped up and pounced on Shen Guiling on the sofa like a ghost!

A cold light appeared between her fingers, and she stabbed Shen Guiling's throat with a fierce and decisive action. She was completely different from the person who had just sworn allegiance!
