Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

With that, Yin Pan'er got up and told them to wait a while.

After changing my clothes, I went out with them.

Yin Pan'er and the others went directly to the presiding judge and showed him the evidence they had found.

Yin Pan'er also presented the management committee's opinion, and then demanded that the gunmen be detained separately and not allowed to see anyone...

The evidence presented by Yin Pan'er and her group was fairly comprehensive...

The presiding judge will naturally reconsider.

Although they are independent of all systems, their main principle is objectivity and impartiality.

Of course, under normal circumstances, once it occurs, the case will not be overturned.

Even if the case is overturned, it would require extremely complicated procedures.

However, given the circumstances before us, it is clear that this is not an ordinary situation.

After all, both the acting president and the Lingas City Management Council had submitted applications.

The presiding judge naturally agreed.

The gunmen were then put into solitary confinement.

Yin Pan'er originally wanted to apply for help with the interrogation, as she had professional interrogators under her command.

The presiding judge naturally refused.

Yin Pan'er was just saying that to make William Armiten and Sean Jolton remember their kindness.

The presiding judge said to Yin Pan'er, "Ms. Yin, please rest assured... our jury will be impartial. If there is any injustice or miscarriage of justice... we will definitely give you an explanation..."

After listening to the judge's words, Yin Pan'er nodded: "Of course..."

William Armiten, standing nearby, asked Yin Pan'er, "Your Honor, may I ask you a question? If William Cam and Targaryen Isa are confirmed to have been framed, and our castle was maliciously auctioned off, can we apply to have it reclaimed?"

The presiding judge shook his head: "It's unlikely that this will be supported. After all, the mortgage of your castle was voluntary. And their arena was publicized through reasonable, legal, and compliant methods."

William Armington quickly added, "However, they used malicious means to frame the person involved and send them to the police station, causing them to fail to fulfill their obligations..."

After listening, the presiding judge nodded: "Of course, if that's possible, you can still make your claim. You'll need sufficient evidence."

"Of course, you can only prove their innocence for now! Only after that can you proceed to the next step..."

William Armington nodded after listening: "Of course! By the way, Your Honor, we can bail them out..."

The presiding judge shook his head: "Not now. We'll contact you once we have at least preliminary evidence..."

William Armington and the other man kept thanking the two men.

After the judge saw that they had said enough, he exchanged a few pleasantries and let them leave.

William Armiten still thanked Yin Pan'er.

After all, they had come here alone before, but they hadn't even come in through the door.

Yin Pan'er still said the same thing as before: "As long as you two are on the side of justice, I can always believe that good will prevail over evil."

The two of them nodded with deep gratitude.

...

Yin Pan'er and the others left separately.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I saw that Xiaoyue looked like she had something to say.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, just say what you have to say."

Xiaoyue nodded with a smile: "My lord, the bait has been taken..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiaoyue, "Oh? They've sneaked in?"

Xiaoyue nodded: "That's right. Not long after we walked, someone saw their people sneak in and go straight to the place where we buried the Mad Taoist. After digging it up, they looked around and then left..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Okay, you didn't stop them, did you..."

Xiaoyue nodded: "Let's pretend we don't know..."

Yin Pan'er smiled but didn't respond.

...

Actually, it was William Armiten and Sean Jolton who were on their side.

Xiao Ce had been secretly following them all along.

Xiao Ce found out immediately when they went to the prison.

Later, he went to Twin Castle to find Yin Pan'er, and Xiao Ce vaguely guessed what was going on.

He immediately told Night Owl that he could go there and that if Yin Pan'er and the others left Twin Castle, he could sneak in.

Night Owl naturally wouldn't suspect Xiao Ce.

As expected, after they arrived, Yin Pan'er and the others left...

He was used to Xiao Ce's flawless strategies.

Xiao Ce was waiting in his hotel room, while Boudica stood by, looking somewhat nervous.

Like ants on a hot pan, they kept pacing back and forth.

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, shouldn't I be the one who's nervous? Why do you seem more nervous than me?"

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "I know what Mr. Night Owl means to you. If anything were to happen to him... I'd feel so guilty..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce was even more confused...

"Boudica, Night Owl is working for me...you must have misunderstood."

Boudica shook her head and then said very firmly, "No misunderstanding! Everything you've done here is for me... I know all that... You're saying this so I won't feel so guilty."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Boudica; she really had been deluding herself.

However, Boudica, though she appears gentle, is actually very strong-willed, or rather, stubborn.

Xiao Ce simply smiled and comforted her, "You should trust Night Owl's abilities..."

Before sending Night Owl over, Xiao Ce had Ryan investigate the matter.

Only after confirming that the Mad Taoist was not there did he dare to go.

Night owls are probably fearless...

However, it still wouldn't work for the Mad Taoist and his group...

However, as time passed by, second by second...

Xiao Ce, who had never been anxious before, also began to feel anxious.

Looking at the time, the night owls should have been back by now.

Xiao Ce repeatedly instructed Ye Mao to act quickly and decisively, and even if he gained nothing, to return as soon as possible...

However, they still haven't returned by that time, which is indeed a bit worrying...

Looking at the sky, Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "My lord, should I go over there and go make contact?"

Xiao Ce shook his head, then said to Da Lei, "No need. If Night Cat can escape unscathed, no one will be needed to help. If Night Cat is defeated, sending more people over will only be suicide..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei agreed: "Probably not, Night Owl must have been held up by something else..."

Although they were all trying to comfort themselves, they were actually very clear about the truth.

Night Owl isn't such an unreliable person.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, everyone jumped up in alarm.

Da Lei was the first to step forward and open the door.

After the door was opened, Kimberly stood in the doorway.

Because of Xiao Ce, Boudica had already reached the door.

Kimberly, somewhat surprised to see this, asked, "Are you going out?"

Xiao Ce smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. Mr. Jin, is there something you need so late?"

Kimberly nodded: "Are you waiting for someone? If you have something to do, I can come back tomorrow... This matter is both urgent and not particularly urgent..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand: "It's nothing... I was just waiting for Night Owl to come back... I sent her to Twin Castles to inquire about some things, and she should be back by now. However, she hasn't returned yet... so I'm wondering if something happened to her?"

Kimberly nodded, then his expression turned serious: "Should I send someone to inquire about this...?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "No need..."

He then smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "At least for now, we don't need to..."

Kimberly did not persist after Xiao Ce refused.

Because he knew very well that Xiao Ce had his own ideas.

"May I go in?"

Xiao Ce was indeed somewhat distracted at the moment. After regaining his senses, he invited Kimberly inside.

"Mr. King, is what you're referring to—that William Armiten and Sean Jolton have already sent people to make arrangements?"

Kimberly nodded: "Yes, you know?"

Xiao Ce nodded and shared what he knew with Kimberly.

After all, there was no need to hide their relationship.

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he added a sentence.

"I was planning to wait for the night owl to bring back news, and then we could talk about it together tomorrow..."

Kimberly nodded: "There are still some. Those gunmen are currently being held in solitary confinement and questioned personally by the judge and his team..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Oh? Then John Jonard and the others must be nervous..."

Kimberly said with some concern, "I'm not worried about anything else, but rather John Jonard and his men. I'm worried that if they take back the castle we just acquired, all our efforts will have been for nothing..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "There's no need to be too nervous. This castle is just an added bonus; it's nice to have it, but it's alright if we don't..."

Kimberly nodded, noticing their distracted expressions, and then stood up. "Alright, that's all. Brother Ce, if there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'll do my best."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Brother Jin, of course!"

...

Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue returned to Twin Castle.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they deliberately asked the guards outside, "Is everything alright?"

The guards, listening to Yin Pan'er speak to them, straightened their bodies and replied, "Reporting to the agent, everything is normal."

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

The two then walked straight to a small garden behind the castle.

They arrived at the place where they had buried the Mad Taoist...

"It must have been a night owl who came in. They're as meticulous as ever. Even though I looked very carefully, I didn't see any signs of disturbance here..." Yin Pan'er carefully examined the area with a kerosene lamp in hand.

Xiaoyue nodded: "That's right, there are indeed no problems with the details."

After wandering around for a while, Yin Pan'er stopped talking nonsense.

"Alright, I've done everything I could. I hope he understands."

Xiaoyue nodded and then went to Yin Pan'er's residence.

Back in Yin Pan'er's room, Xiao Yue's hearing was extremely sharp.

Just as Yin Pan'er was about to push the door open, Xiao Yue grabbed her hand.

"Sir, wait!"

Yin Pan'er glanced at Xiaoyue and said, "Wait? What's wrong?"

Xiaoyue looked at Yin Pan'er warily and said, "Sir, there are people inside."

Xiaoyue's words immediately made Yin Pan'er nervous.

"Someone?"

Xiaoyue nodded.

Yin Pan'er asked suspiciously and warily, "Could it be that the night owl didn't leave?"

Xiaoyue listened and continued to nod.

Yin Pan'er smiled and said to Xiao Yue, "That's not right... If Night Cat were hiding inside, it wouldn't make a sound at all... I've heard about Night Cat's stealth abilities. Back then, when he went to investigate for Xiao Ce, he could hide in one place for days and nights without moving... and no one noticed..."

Xiaoyue nodded: "Sir, please stay outside. I'll go in first... and come in after I've confirmed it's safe..."

Seeing Xiaoyue say this, Yin Pan'er did not refuse, nodded, and then took out a small pistol from her waist.

Although guns are prohibited in Lingas City, such regulations clearly do not apply to someone of Yin Pan'er's status.

As long as no shots are fired, no one here dares to report the chairman's agent.

Xiaoyue walked to the door and cautiously pushed it open.

After the door was pushed open, Xiaoyue walked in nervously.

Just a moment later.

Xiaoyue's voice trembled slightly: "M-Master... um..."

Yin Pan'er also sensed something was wrong, but she didn't run away.

She's been through so much, she's seen it all.

Running won't help in this situation.

Xiaoyue's situation clearly indicates that someone is involved.

Moreover, they came with ill intentions.

Yin Pan'er straightened her chest and walked in.

Once inside, Yin Pan'er saw it immediately.

Night Owl was completely tied to her chair.

As soon as Xiaoyue walked in, someone held a gun to her mouth and stuffed it in.

At the table on the other side sat a person who was completely covered up and dressed in a Taoist robe.

Upon seeing his attire, Yin Pan'er recognized him immediately...

"How did you come?"

The man who arrived was none other than Xiao Ce.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled and said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, don't you know why I'm coming here?"

Yin Pan'er said to the man in front of her who called himself Xiao Ce, "Take him away first."

Yin Pan'er was actually protecting the night owls.
