"However," at this point, Tian Dan sighed, "Deputy Commander Geng has a deep background. I learned about your case yesterday, and this matter is very complicated. It seems that aside from the Leng family, a friend of mine mentioned that His Highness the Third Prince also delivered a gift to Deputy Commander Geng. If that’s true, I don’t know how much longer I can hold on."

"The Third Prince delivered a gift to Commander Geng?"

Qin Chen's gaze sharpened; he hadn't expected the Third Prince to be involved in this matter.

"Are you sure that I have no grievances with the Third Prince you mentioned? Why would he interfere in this matter?"

Tian Dan sighed softly, "This matter was secretly informed to me by a friend working under Deputy Commander Geng. It should be correct. As for why the Third Prince is involved, I do not know. Perhaps it is due to Master Qin’s status as a disciple from the Five Nations."

"Disciple from the Five Nations?"

"Exactly. The Third Prince is very proud and values bloodlines highly. He looks down on people from remote areas and had even proposed to eliminate the slums in West City, but His Majesty did not agree. Moreover, the Third Prince is a hot candidate for the next ruler of the dynasty, being the most favored among several princes. If he speaks up, our director might have to give him face. Master Qin, if you have any connections, please think of a way quickly, as I might not be able to hold on for long."

Hearing Tian Dan's words, Qin Chen's eyes gradually grew colder.

At this moment, he recalled that this Third Prince seemed to be the one who had previously stopped You Qianxue and the others from joining the Imperial Star Academy.

"So you mean my status as a disciple from the Five Nations is hindering the Third Prince?"

Qin Chen chuckled coldly.

This Third Prince had made things difficult for him time and again, truly thinking he was a clay figurine with no temper at all?

If he didn’t interfere, it would be fine. But if he truly did interfere and colluded with the Leng family, then he shouldn't blame me for not giving him face. It’s time to fight back.

Seeing Qin Chen like this, Tian Dan hurriedly said, "Master Qin, you wouldn't be thinking of some way to deal with the Third Prince, right? Please don’t be reckless. The Third Prince's status is high and to him, we are nothing more than ants; he wouldn't take us seriously at all."

"Ants?" Qin Chen laughed in anger, "Very well, a good ant. But if he treats me as an ant, he might be disappointed."

Qin Chen’s gaze turned icy, "The most favored prince, huh? I hope he doesn't make the wrong choice."

Seeing Qin Chen like this, Tian Dan opened his mouth to say something but could only shake his head and sigh softly.

He felt helpless.

On the other side, Geng Deyuan, who had returned to his office, was extremely furious.

"What a Tian Dan, simply tired of living, daring to oppose me as the commander. This time, I must pull him down from his position. Come here..."

"Subordinate here." A city guard hurriedly stepped forward.

Geng Deyuan's face was gloomy as he shouted, "You go report to Gu Tongling immediately, inform him of what happened here, and tell him about the Third Prince's gift to Commander Geng. Have him issue a demotion order to directly remove Tian Dan from his position as captain."

"Yes, I will go right away."

Geng Deyuan's face was ashen. This matter was originally ordered by the Leng family, and with the Third Prince involved, he didn't want Gu Tongling to interfere.

But who would have thought Tian Dan would be so ungrateful, making him furious.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have sent Qin Chen to the dark prison area.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

Fortunately, his superior, Gu Tongling, held significant power in the city guard, and dismissing a captain was definitely just a matter of a single word.

When the demotion order came down, let’s see how Tian Dan could be arrogant then.

At that moment, a knock on the door sounded, and a city guard walked in.
