Chapter 264 Slapping the Arrogant One in the Face 11
Han Ze was interrupted by Li Yu. He looked at Li Yu with some impatience, frowned and said, "You have no right to speak here!"
Li Yu turned to look at Pei Che with a wronged expression. Even though Pei Che knew Li Yu was faking it, he was still a little angry.
Although he hadn't regained his memory, Li Yu was his family, and he was very unhappy about being treated this way.
Pei Che stepped forward to block Li Yu and said slowly, "Your Highness's words are rather aggressive. As my adjutant, Li Yu still has some say."
Li Yu looked at Pei Che in disbelief. He had always wanted to be Pei Che's adjutant and had begged him countless times without success. He never expected that this time he would actually succeed.
He wanted to laugh out loud, but seeing Han Ze's dark face, he could only cover his face with his hands and laugh secretly.
Han Ze's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had been embarrassed several times before, all because of Pei Che. He never expected to be contradicted by him to his face again this time.
He waved to the soldiers beside him and pointed at Leng Yuexing in front of everyone, saying, "Go and get that person's pass."
The soldier obeyed and turned to walk towards Leng Yuexing. Pei Che stepped forward to block him, then turned to Han Ze and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"A routine check? Can't you even tell?" Han Ze said, his hands behind his back, feigning seriousness.
"Your Highness, we have already checked Yuexing's pass. There is no need for you to go through this trouble," Pei Che said coldly.
Han Ze directly ordered the soldiers, "What are you waiting for? Move out!"
Seeing that the soldier was about to walk past him, Pei Che was about to kick the soldier away when Leng Yuexing gently pressed down on his shoulder from behind, "It's just a pass, just show it to him."
Leng Yuexing curled her lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; instead, her eyes shone with a cold, starlike light.
Upon hearing this, Pei Che stopped blocking the soldiers' path.
Leng Yuexing handed the pass to the soldier, who then turned and went back.
"Your Highness." The soldier bowed his head, held the pass in both hands, and raised it high in front of Han Ze.
Han Ze took it with one hand and examined it closely.
Name: Leng Yuexing
Address: A3-2688, District 9
【Age: 20】
[Position: Strategist]
"Leng Yuexing..." Han Ze felt like he had heard this name somewhere before, and it seemed very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was.
Moreover, Han Ze felt that this appearance was very familiar.
He clutched the pass tightly; he knew what Pei Che's secret mission was.
The day after he learned that he had a half-brother, the general sent Pei Che on a mission.
It's easy to imagine that his mission must be related to his half-brother.
The general has always disliked him, and this time it must be to oppose him as well.
He was 80% certain that Leng Yuexing was his half-brother, and if that was the case, he could not let Leng Yuexing off easily.
If Leng Yuexing's affair were to be discovered by his father, his position as the sole heir would be in jeopardy, and it would be uncertain who would ultimately inherit the throne.
Han Ze hardened his heart, held up the pass and said, "This pass is obviously forged. Men, arrest him!"
If he really is his half-brother, then he must come from the garbage dump. How could someone from the garbage dump get a pass?
The soldiers beside him obeyed orders and raised their weapons to seize Leng Yuexing.
"Wait! You say my pass is forged. What evidence do you have to prove it?" Leng Yuexing said calmly.
"Evidence?" Han Ze scoffed. "Fine, then I'll ask you, what's the Ninth District known for? What's around your neighborhood?"
Leng Yuexing knew from the start that Han Ze would ask him these questions. He had just been searching for information about the Ninth District among the saplings and actually found quite a bit, since the legendary "Source Seed" was found in the Ninth District.
“District 9 is rich in rare earth elements, and there are many large smelting plants near where I live.”
Han Ze was surprised that Leng Yuexing could actually answer the question. After a long silence, he asked again, "Then what are you doing in District One?"
Leng Yuexing smiled faintly. "The examiner already asked this question. I came to District One to find my family."
"What family?" Han Ze asked aggressively. A large crowd had already gathered nearby, and he wanted to finish the matter quickly.
“My father abandoned his wife and children for a woman. I want to find him and ask him if he has ever regretted it…” Leng Yuexing’s sharp eyes stared at Han Ze, as if a knife had been plunged into Han Ze’s chest.
Large beads of sweat appeared on Han Ze's forehead.
Leng Yuexing is his half-brother, and he said all this just to tell him!
Han Ze felt a mix of fear, anxiety, and anger.
He will not allow anyone to take the throne from him, no one!
After mentally preparing himself for a while, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to waste so much time talking to Leng Yuexing.
Given his status, even if he killed Leng Yuexing on the spot, he wouldn't bear any responsibility.
After thinking for a moment, he laughed cruelly, "You have too many suspicious points. Come back with me and we'll investigate you properly. Guards, arrest him!"
"Let's see who dares!" Pei Che coldly retorted.
"Your Highness, you have quite the arrogance of an official. You want to arrest my strategist without any evidence. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Pei Che's voice was extremely cold, like he was holding a sharp knife.
Han Ze frowned. "Pei Che, you'd better not keep going against me. You're just a major general, how dare you challenge me?"
"Then I wonder if I can?" A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Han Ze turned around in disbelief.
"Father?" The person standing in front of Han Ze was King Han Ye of the Jiu Chen Kingdom.
"Father, why did you come all this way in person?" Han Ze walked over with a smile.
At this moment, there were no soldiers beside Han Ye, only an old man standing beside him.
The old man looked at Han Che and said kindly, "Che'er, you're back."
Pei Che stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Father, I have returned."
The general nodded and smiled at Pei Che, saying, "Knowing you were coming back, I came to pick you up, but I didn't expect to run into His Majesty on the way."
Upon hearing this, Han Ze respectfully asked, "Father, are you here for an inspection?"
Han Ye looked at Han Ze with a dark expression. "Ze'er, I know far more than you think. There are some things that you can't hide, even if you want to."
After Han Ye finished speaking, he turned to look at Leng Yuexing, who was standing in the distance, his eyes filled with deep longing.
He beckoned to Leng Yuexing, "Yuexing, right? Come here!"
"I can answer your question now."
"I've regretted it for a long time, and I've spent all these years in remorse."
