Chapter 464: I Want to See
At this moment, the grand prince had arrived at Mr. Zhao Hai's door under the guidance of a servant. The servant pointed to the room where Zhao Hai was and said, "Your Highness, it's right here."
In fact, it was unnecessary for him to speak, as everyone else already knew, because this was the only house in the vicinity with its lights on.
Laura, Meigen, and the others followed anxiously in the crowd, while people around them looked at them with unusual gazes.
None of these people were fools; they knew that Zhao Hai had been schemed against. Therefore, they weren't truly angry but were instead watching a show, with most feeling a sense of schadenfreude.
Soon, they arrived at Zhao Hai's door. The grand prince pretended to be serious and asked, "Is Mr. Zhao Hai inside?"
Zhao Hai sat at the table, smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and took a sip, remaining silent. He wanted to wait, to let those people feel pleased for a moment, and then crush them underfoot at their most triumphant.
Upon hearing no response from inside, the grand prince was even more convinced that Zhao Hai had fallen into a trap. He immediately shouted, "Charge in and rescue Lily!"
Terry was the first to rush forward, kicking the door open and shouting as he charged inside. However, once inside, he was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Zhao Hai, who was sitting at the table, sipping wine.
At this moment, other doors were also kicked open, and everyone stood there in a daze, staring at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was just about to take a sip when he noticed the expressions of the crowd. He froze for a moment, then slowly put down his wine glass and stood up. Looking at the grand prince and the others in a daze, he said, "Everyone, is it necessary to get so excited just because I was hiding to enjoy some fine wine and food?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Laura and the others were the first to react, bursting into laughter. The moment they saw Zhao Hai's expression, they knew he would be fine.
Charlie also had a joyful expression, and Jason, seeing Zhao Hai's demeanor and then glancing at the grand prince's expression, burst into laughter, saying, "You little brat, daring to hide here drinking alone without calling me. Oh, and the snacks from the snack street—you're really enjoying yourself too much! Third prince, you really should have brought me along!"
Charlie was now overjoyed, laughing heartily, "You won't find me here; these are all snacks that Little Hai brought himself. Little Hai, are you saying the food here isn't good enough for you? How come you're drinking by yourself?"
As soon as Charlie finished speaking, the grand prince could no longer contain himself and shouted, "Enough! Zhao Hai, stop pretending. Where is Lily? If anything happens to her, I will hold you accountable!"
Zhao Hai looked coldly at the grand prince and calmly replied, "I don't understand what the grand prince means. Princess Lily's disappearance has nothing to do with me."
The grand prince said coldly, "Someone clearly saw you helping Lily walk over. Where is she?"
Zhao Hai replied expressionlessly, "Who saw me? Step forward."
The grand prince turned to look, but was stunned to find that the two people he had sent to the third prince's residence were already missing.
The grand prince was taken aback, realizing that he had completely failed tonight. Just then, Lily's voice came from behind the crowd, "Big brother, your concern for my safety truly moves me."
As she spoke, Lily slowly walked forward from the back, her face frosty as she glared at the grand prince. Then she turned to Terry and calmly said, "Someone came looking for me just now, saying that the third brother wanted me, so I came out. I didn’t expect to be tricked by a cunning servant. Third brother, your residence isn't very peaceful; you need to clean it up. Don't let just anyone make a ruckus in here."
Upon hearing Lily's words, the grand prince's face turned extremely ugly. At this moment, Zhao Hai also spoke up, "Third prince, you should clean up this residence. Just now, I was also called out by a servant who claimed you were looking for me, hehe."
