Chapter 297: Using people’s money to eliminate disasters for others

"Yes." The man in black responded, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The news of the fifth prince's assassination quickly spread throughout the capital. Everyone was talking about it and guessing who the real culprit behind it was.

Lin Congyun and the Seventh Prince have also been secretly investigating the matter, but have never found any clues.

As time passed, the fifth prince's injuries gradually improved.

That day, Lin Congyun was handling some matters in the study when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Congyun said without raising his head.

The door was pushed open, and a guard walked in quickly, "Second Prince, I have found something."

Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately looked up at the guards, "What did you find?"

"Our people discovered that someone has been sneaking around the Fifth Prince's Mansion recently, and it seems like they are scouting the area." The guard answered truthfully.

Lin Congyun frowned when he heard this, "Scouting the area? Does the other party want to attack again?"

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

She wanted to see who was so bold as to do something in the Fifth Prince's mansion.

The guard nodded and immediately led the way.

The two men came to the vicinity of the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Lin Congyun found a secluded place to hide, and then looked in the direction the guard pointed.

Sure enough, not long after, she saw a man sneaking out of an alley next to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, looking around, then turning and leaving.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun immediately followed him. She wanted to see who this person was.

The other party didn't seem to realize that he was being followed and walked all the way out of the city.

Lin Congyun frowned slightly. What was this person doing outside the city?

She continued to follow the other party with full of doubts, all the way to a forest outside the city.

In the woods, the man suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him. "Come out, I know you are following me."

Lin Congyun was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party had discovered them.

If that's the case, then there's no need for her to hide anymore.

Thinking of this, she walked out from behind the tree and looked at the man, "Who are you?"

When the man saw Lin Congyun, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, "Second Prince?"

"Do you know me?" Lin Congyun frowned and looked at the other person's face. She was sure that she didn't know this person.

"Haha, who doesn't know the Second Prince's name?" The man said with a smile, "As for who I am, the Second Prince doesn't need to know. I just take money from others to help them get rid of disasters."

"Taking money to help others get rid of disasters? So, someone instructed you to be in the Fifth Brother's house..."

Before the question was asked, a sharp blade stabbed towards Lin Congyun.

Lin Congyun was shocked. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack her. She dodged the sharp blade.

"Second Prince, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise..." The man looked at Lin Congyun with a threatening look on his face.

"What if not?" Lin Congyun looked at him with a cold expression on his face. "Do you think I'm afraid of your threats?"

Seeing this, that person's eyes flashed with viciousness, and he attacked Lin Congyun again.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun dodged the opponent's attack and then slapped the opponent on the chest.

"Puff!" The man was hit by Lin Congyun's palm, and blood spurted out of his mouth. The whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Tell me, who instructed you to do this?" Lin Congyun walked up to the man, looked down at him and asked.

The man looked up at Lin Congyun, his face full of fear, "I... I don't know..."

"I don't know?" Lin Congyun frowned, "Do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me?"

As she said this, she turned to look at the guards, "Take him back and interrogate him strictly!"

The guard nodded and immediately stepped forward to arrest the man.

Lin Congyun looked at the person lying on the ground again, his eyes full of coldness.

It was already dark when they returned to the city, but an unusual fire suddenly lit up in the Fifth Prince's mansion.

Lin Congyun's heart suddenly tightened, and the ominous premonition quickly enveloped his heart like a dark cloud.

She asked the guards to escort the man they found back to the Second Prince's residence first, and she ran towards the Fifth Prince's residence, silently praying in her heart that the Fifth Prince would be safe.

In the darkness of night, flames shot up into the sky from the Fifth Prince’s mansion, illuminating half the sky red. Screams and cries for help mixed together in a chaotic mess.

Lin Congyun rushed to the Fifth Prince's mansion anxiously, only to see the firelight illuminating the chaotic crowd, the mansion door wide open, thick smoke billowing out, but no one was organizing firefighting, obviously the fire was strange. She rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation, relying on her agility from practicing martial arts since childhood, she shuttled through the sea of ​​fire, looking for the Fifth Prince.

Just when she was extremely anxious, a familiar figure appeared in the thick smoke. It was the Fifth Prince. He was weak and was supported by two guards as he tried to escape from the sea of ​​fire.

But the fire was fierce, the road was blocked by flames and collapsed beams, and the situation was critical.

"Second brother, why are you here?" When the fifth prince saw Lin Congyun, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"I'll take you out!" Lin Congyun said firmly, and quickly looked around and found a side door that had not yet been affected by the flames.

She acted promptly, helped the fifth prince up, and quickly moved towards the side door.

The heat waves rolled and the flames raged. Lin Congyun could almost feel the heat behind him.

She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to support the Fifth Prince, and finally arrived at the side door.

The side door was blocked by a fallen beam. Lin Congyun took a deep breath and pushed the beam open with force.

A cool night breeze blew in his face, and Lin Congyun was delighted. He supported the fifth prince and walked out of the side door quickly.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar. Lin Congyun turned around and saw a group of men in black riding horses galloping towards the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Her heart tightened, and she pulled the fifth prince into the shadows nearby.

The men in black arrived in front of the Fifth Prince's mansion, dismounted, and rushed into the sea of ​​fire with sharp blades in hand.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun's heart sank. These people were obviously coming for the Fifth Prince.

"Second brother, these people..." The fifth prince also realized that something was wrong and looked at Lin Congyun with a pale face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Congyun held the fifth prince's hand tightly and whispered to comfort him.

She knew in her heart that since these people dared to attack the Fifth Prince's Mansion so blatantly, they must have something to rely on.

The only thing we can do now is to protect the Fifth Prince first and then find a way to escape.

Thinking of this, she gently held the Fifth Prince's hand, signaling him not to be afraid.
