Chapter 305: His Royal Highness the Prince (9)
Lin Shen casually took a bite of his breakfast. His movements were natural and elegant, as if he could display a unique temperament no matter what he did.
Huo Da on the side looked at Lin Shen without blinking. Occasionally, he would reach out to help Lin Shen pass the tableware. His meticulous care was truly admirable.
The maid at the side seemed a little at a loss. She stood aside, watching Huo Da take care of Lin Shen skillfully, but she could not help at all.
Lin Shen noticed the maid's embarrassment, sighed softly, and waved his hand to let her go.
The maid felt relieved and quickly retreated.
Hoda watched the maid leave and smiled smugly.
Lin Shen raised his head and looked at him carefully, "Are you really free?"
Huoda paused for a moment and replied, "I'm not idle, but Your Highness is more important than anything else." His eyes were firm, as if he was taking an oath, making it seem quite solemn.
Hearing this, Lin Shen's thoughts turned and he put down the bread in his hand.
He waved to Hoda and said, "Here, I'll give you something to do for me."
Huo Da's eyes lit up. Your Highness needs him! If you need him now, you will be inseparable from him in the future.
Huo Da nodded cautiously, his eyes so bright that Lin Shen felt a little guilty.
Lin Shen coughed and quickly said, "Do you know who I arrested recently?"
Huo Da blinked, which was quite innocent.
He shook his head. He had been dealing with all the messy things in his family recently and hadn't paid attention to anything else.
After all, this is a gift for his prince, so it has to be very beautiful and no other dirty people can mess it up.
After hearing what His Highness said, he became interested and asked impatiently, "Who?"
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes and smiled, and that beautiful face seemed to suddenly glow with a brighter brilliance, which was extremely eye-catching.
Huo Da almost stared straight at the camera, so much so that he didn't hear clearly what Lin Shen said.
Lin Shen frowned and glared at him angrily: "Are you listening to me?"
Huoda was startled and quickly nodded and then shook his head, indicating that he was indeed distracted just now.
Lin took a deep breath and thought, forget it, he still needed his help with something, so he decided not to scold him first.
"I caught Fulikai, or Deli."
Huo Da frowned, he didn't quite understand: "I can understand that Fuli Kai was arrested, but what is Deli? Aren't they father and son?"
Lin Shen did not hide anything and directly stated the relationship between them: "Fuli Kai is Deli."
Huoda thought about it and realized that indeed, Fulikai and Deli had never appeared together before.
Huo Da came closer with a smile, then picked up a handkerchief beside him and gently put it close to the corner of Lin Shen's mouth, trying to help him wipe away any traces of food that might be left.
Lin Shen blocked his hand, gently pulled it away, took the handkerchief, and started to wipe himself.
Huo Da paused, lowering his eyebrows with some regret, but his voice was still gentle: "What does Your Highness need me to do?"
Lin Shen wiped his mouth, a cunning light appeared in his eyes. He looked at Huo Da with a smile on his lips.
"Fulikai is very tight-lipped. He won't say anything I ask. I heard that Mr. Huoda is very good at dealing with tight-lipped people."
Hearing this, Huo Da nodded happily, supporting his chin with his hand, appearing quite confident: "Of course, anyone who keeps a tight lid can't last more than three moves in my hands."
Lin Shen laughed, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Then I'll leave that man and Fuli Kai to you. Tell me after you interrogate them."
Huo Da frowned, and seemed a little dissatisfied with Lin Shen's arrangement. He complained: "Your Highness, I have helped you so much, you should at least give me some benefits!"
Lin Shen's eyes were slightly cold, but he recovered quickly and looked at Huo Da with a smile: "Let's talk after you complete the task!"
Huo Da moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth. He just stared at Lin Shen for a long time.
When their eyes met, there seemed to be an electric current flowing silently.
Finally, Huo Da gave in and shrugged in compromise, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and doting: "Your Highness, you really know how to manipulate me."
Lin Shen didn't say anything, but just drank a sip of milk indifferently. His expression was calm, as if everything that had just happened was just a daily episode.
?
Fulikai and the man were handed over to Huoda to deal with, so Lin Shen became free and Huoda had no time to bother him anymore.
He is now a real idle man, but even so, he has not relaxed his investigation into the Lucifer incident.
Lin Shen always felt that this matter might be inextricably linked to Fuli Kai, but Fuli Kai kept his teeth tightly shut and refused to speak, making it difficult for Lin Shen to get any useful information.
Lin Shen's actions were not secretive. Sure enough, not long after, his father King Firus summoned him.
Ever since most of the power was transferred to Lin Shen, his father rarely asked about his affairs and spent most of his time enjoying sweet time with his mother.
This sudden summons from his father made Lin Shen wonder if it might be related to his recent actions.
Lin Shen soon saw his father, King Firus. He was sitting on the throne with a serious expression. Lin Shen took a few glances at him. It was rare for him to see his father so serious. Although he found it strange, he was not afraid.
He asked respectfully, "Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Firus took a deep breath, and although he was a little annoyed, he still let his beloved son sit down and said, "Sit down first."
Lin Shen nodded, looked up at his father's face and found that he looked quite gloomy.
"You've been too aggressive recently." Firus said in a deep voice.
Lin Shen paused and pretended not to understand: "I don't understand what father is talking about."
Firus was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at Lin Shen and said, "You little bastard, you dare to hide this from your father?"
Lin Shen leaned back in his chair casually and said nonchalantly, "Why is Father so serious?"
Firus' face turned dark, thinking that this brat was really spoiled, but he was the one who spoiled him, so he couldn't hit him or scold him, and could only bear his anger.
He said seriously, "You little brat, do you know the impact that happened back then on the people? If you do something so drastic, the people's trust in you will plummet."
Lin Shen raised his eyebrows, not caring at all: "I don't care about these. I never do things for reputation. I just do it because I want to do it. I never care about anything else."
When Firus' anger subsided, he stared at the child he had raised. In fact, he didn't look like a crown prince. He acted according to his own will, not afraid of what others said and not fussy about trivial matters.
Firus felt both proud and a little worried. Such a temperament was rare, but he was always afraid that he would suffer losses.
