"Gu Jin, is this the good deed you've done? What a waste."

The Third Prince's face turned ashen, and he roared angrily.

He was in a hurry to come here because he wanted to act discreetly and handle the situation quickly, convicting Qin Chen.

Who would have thought that upon arriving, he would witness such chaos.

In the dignified city guard's black prison area, a scandal of this magnitude had erupted. Even if Gu Jin was the commander of the city guard, it would be impossible to cover it up, and it would undoubtedly reach the Emperor's ears in no time.

Once Fei Leng whispered in the Emperor's ear, out of curiosity, if the Emperor focused on this matter and learned that he was involved in the black prison area, it would certainly provoke the Emperor's wrath.

This would influence his future, to some extent.

"Master Leng, kill this kid for me!"

Suddenly, the Third Prince coldly said to Leng Fei Fan.

"What?"

Leng Fei Fan was momentarily stunned.

"I told you to kill this kid, didn't you hear me?" The Third Prince spoke coldly, his gaze at Qin Chen exuding a terrifying killing intent.

Leng Fei Fan became anxious: "Your Highness, that’s absolutely unacceptable! This kid is the champion of the Gu Nan Capital competition, and he must have the powerful inheritance of Gu Nan Capital. If we kill him directly..."

The Leng family had expended so much effort targeting You Qianxue and Qin Chen. What was the purpose? Was it really for revenge against the Feng family, or was it disdain for the disciples of the Five Nations? Not at all. Leng Fei Fan's only goal was the inheritance that Qin Chen and the others obtained in Gu Nan Capital.

Now, the Third Prince actually wanted him to directly kill Qin Chen, which was equivalent to cutting off his chance to gain the inheritance from Qin Chen. How could he accept that?

"Master Leng, I'm not asking you; I'm ordering you." The Third Prince looked at Leng Fei Fan coldly: "The matter of Gu Jin and their trip to the Alchemy Pavilion has already been known by Fei Leng. Moreover, with such a significant incident happening in the city guard's black prison area, the news cannot be contained. It won't be long before it reaches the Emperor's ears. Given the Emperor's temperament, he will certainly come to investigate immediately."

"If we had the time to make the testimony perfect, that would be fine, but now, it’s clearly too late. With such a big incident happening, we don't have time to forge a complete testimony, nor can we make this kid confess easily. Therefore, the only way is to kill this kid. That way, we can avoid the Emperor's investigation. Don't you understand?"

The Third Prince coldly looked at Leng Fei Fan. His purpose was different from Leng Fei Fan's; it was not to strengthen the family or gain any inheritance, but to gain more favor and influence in front of the Emperor.

If the Emperor learned that he had committed such an act, although he might not necessarily be punished, his status in the Emperor's eyes would undoubtedly decline.

This was something the Third Prince would never allow to happen.

Feeling the cold killing intent emanating from the Third Prince, Leng Fei Fan, despite his reluctance, could only give a bitter smile, "Your Highness, I understand."

At this moment, he even somewhat regretted cooperating with the Third Prince.

This guy, aside from his lustful thoughts and desire for the throne, didn't care about anything else.

At a critical moment, he might even abandon the Leng family.

But despite his frustration, Leng Fei Fan had no other choice.

"Whoosh!"

Leng Fei Fan's figure flickered and he dashed directly towards Qin Chen.

"Criminal Qin Chen, attempting to escape from prison, kill him without mercy!"

The Third Prince roared viciously.

This was not just directed at Leng Fei Fan, but also for the many city guards present.

In the black prison area, if one wanted to kill Qin Chen, they had to do it with reason and evidence, and could not act rashly.

And in the city guard’s context, escaping from prison was undoubtedly the best excuse.
