Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

However, just knowing who did it isn't enough. The Prime Minister's residence is so big. Putting aside whether Murong Bai is hidden inside, even if he is, they will definitely be on high alert tonight. It wouldn't be a problem for her to sneak in alone and bring Murong Bai out. The real problem is that Murong Bai might not be hidden inside the Prime Minister's residence. That would be a much bigger problem.

Tang Yue's head was throbbing with worry.

Just then, among the pile of corpses, Murong Minglang actually managed to find one that was still breathing.

Murong Minglang moved the still-breathing guard onto his lap, then tightly clutched his bleeding chest, asking anxiously, "Guard brother, where...where is my father?"

The guard was convulsing in pain, his voice barely audible, but he still managed to answer, "Young Master... Young Master... Young Master has been kidnapped... kidnapped!"

"Who kidnapped them?" Murong Minglang asked hurriedly.

The heavily wounded guard blinked his trembling eyelashes, as if recalling something. Suddenly, he seemed to see something terrifying; his pupils dilated abruptly, blood and foam dribbled from the corner of his mouth, and he kept muttering, "Monster, there's a monster! Young master, don't go! There's a monster..."

Murong Minglang frowned, his head throbbed, and his vision blurred: "A monster?"

His words were still unclear, so he asked the guard again, "What monster? Guard brother, explain clearly, don't fall asleep, guard brother..."

Murong Minglang frantically shook the guard, but he couldn't escape death. The guard was already lifeless, and tears silently slid down his cheeks.

Murong Minglang, who had just calmed down a bit after getting some information, now had a hoarse voice again: "Brother Guard, don't sleep, I still don't know where Father is."

The dead guard slipped weakly from Murong Minglang's arms, his eyes lifeless and empty, like a wounded wolf cub. Tang Yue felt a pang of heartache, which inevitably made her think of some unpleasant things.

That old scoundrel Lin deserves to die!!!

She stepped forward and helped Murong Minglang up from the ground, soothingly saying, "Young Master, don't worry. Didn't the guard just say that the eldest young master was only kidnapped and should be fine for now? Our most urgent task now is to go back and tell the Duke about the situation here, understand?"

Tang Yue's words were like a wake-up call. In Murong Minglang's mind, his father and grandfather were the most powerful people. Therefore, he could not panic now and had to hurry back to report the news: "Yes, you are right, Tang Yuan. Let's go quickly and go back to tell Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely know who did it."

Murong Minglang abandoned Tang Yue and mechanically ran towards the alley exit, stumbling along the way. He was covered in blood. As soon as he left the alley, he was spotted by passersby. Not wanting to cause trouble, they quickly kept their distance, making Murong Minglang look like a plague.

Tang Yue followed behind, and after leaving the alley, she called out to Lin Hao, who was eating wontons, to catch up. She then took off her outer robe and wrapped it around Murong Minglang.

She forced a passing coachman to buy a carriage, and after getting Murong Minglang into the carriage, she hurried back to the Duke's mansion.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Duke's mansion was also very solemn.

Murong Zhengqi looked at Mu Da, who had just returned and fallen into a coma, his whole body filled with anger, but the worry in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Old Liu, quickly go and fetch the royal physician to examine Mu Da, and also check if Xiao Lang has returned!"

"Yes, sir."

The steward hurriedly went to fetch the family physician and sent someone to check if Murong Minglang had returned.

He had just brought the physician to the main hall when Tang Yue returned with Murong Minglang.

Murong Minglang was covered in blood and mud at the scene, and he was filthy. Although he was wrapped in Tang Yue's outer robe, Murong Zhengqi's heart almost stopped when he saw Murong Minglang like this. "Little... Little Lang, are you alright?"

"Grandpa, Father has been arrested." Upon seeing Murong Zhengqi, Murong Minglang, who had been suppressing his sobs, seemed to find an outlet, and tears suddenly streamed down his face, his voice hoarse and strained.

Murong Zhengqi hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Murong Minglang, stroking his head with his broad right hand.

His tone was kind and gentle, old yet possessing a magical quality: "Little Lang, don't cry, it's alright. Your father is so powerful, he must still be alive right now. Come on, tell Grandpa how you found out about this, okay?"

As expected of the Duke, even when faced with the information that his son might have perished, he still rationally searched for clues and tried to find the murderer.

Murong Minglang was sobbing uncontrollably, and Tang Yue, standing to the side, couldn't bear to let him relive the scene from earlier.

He then spoke up for him, saying, "Lord Duke, let me tell you."

Murong Zhengqi then noticed Tang Yue. He glanced at the boy in his thin clothes with a very intimidating look in his eyes. Tang Yue had never been looked at like that before. Sure enough, those who have been in officialdom for a long time are not only disadvantaged in their careers, but also not people who can be provoked.

After a long pause, he said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Young Master Tang."

"No trouble at all," Emma said, "This is terrifying! My heart can't take it if this happens a few more times."

She lowered her head, took several deep breaths, and then began to recount the whole story:

"It's like this, Your Excellency. After I delivered the wheelchair to you today, I took Young Master Lang out to play. On our way back, we passed a small alley on North Street. There seemed to be a fight going on there, so we went over to check it out. But when we got there, the alley was full of the Duke's guards, and they were all dead..."

"Young Master was lucky; he found a soldier who was still alive. The soldier said that the eldest young master had been kidnapped by a monster."

"monster?"

Murong Zhengqi frowned, somewhat puzzled as to what this had to do with monsters.

"Yes, I observed the crime scene and found obvious claw marks on the walls and the ground. I also examined the bodies of the guards. Basically, every guard had claw and bite marks on their bodies. I guess it was a humanoid beast that attacked the young master and the others."

A glint of light flashed in Murong Zhengqi's eyes: "Humanoid? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this question, Tang Yue awkwardly cracked her knuckles, inadvertently using modern vocabulary.

She lowered her head even further, cleared her throat, and then replied, "Humanoid means beasts that are like humans. Moreover, I also examined the condition of the guards' bodies at the scene. The group of murderers who appeared to be beasts did not tear or devour the guards' bodies. So... it's highly likely that these beasts, or rather the murderers... were kept by humans."
