CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 355

Xiange reported to Nangong Mo the intelligence gathered about the black bear incident.

"Although the identity of that person cannot be confirmed, based on previous encounters and that person’s style and methods, it should be the Hidden Guard under the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince?"

Nangong Mo’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, as if there were a thousand storms within, hauntingly cold, making it difficult to see his expressions in the deep darkness.

Xiange nodded in agreement, with a trace of hesitation in his expression, "I find this matter quite peculiar."

"According to the intelligence we’ve gathered before, the Crown Prince has not yet obtained what he wants, so he shouldn’t have ordered the assassination of the princess at this time."

"Could it be that the Crown Prince believes the princess has completely sided with you, and will no longer be of use to him, thus in anger, he decides to kill and silence her?"

Nangong Mo pondered slightly, although he felt Xiange’s speculation was not impossible, his understanding of the Crown Prince over the years instinctively suggested there was more to this.

"Xiange, from today onwards, closely monitor all the Crown Prince’s movements and report at any time."

"Yes, sir!"

"The Crown Prince is deep and suspicious, be careful, do not alert him."

"Rest assured, sir, I will be cautious!"

Xiange took the order and left, Nangong Mo glanced in the direction of the Beili Camp, and a faintly indulgent yet helpless smile slowly appeared at the corner of his lips.

...

At this moment, Yun Ran was sitting around the bonfire, with fine wine in one hand and delicious food in the other, accompanied by a beauty, truly at ease!

"How is it? Tasty, right, tasty, isn’t it? My brother’s skills aren’t bad, right?"

"More than just good? The prince’s culinary skills are simply unparalleled, stunning to all."

Yun Ran offered generous praise, Xiao Mohan tossed his hair, the small braid tied with a red string was casually flung behind his ear.

He slightly raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at Yun Ran, "Quite discerning, you have a good eye."

Yun Ran: "..."

[This arrogant and self-conceited look really hasn’t changed a bit...]

Yun Ran had witnessed Xiao Mohan’s skills before; she once opened a gourmet restaurant in Yunzhou and even hired him as the head chef, though at that time, she didn’t know his true identity.

Later, when his identity was revealed, she decided to ’send him away’, yet he shamelessly insisted on staying to continue as the head chef.

He was willing to lower himself to act spoiled, sell cuteness, roll on the ground, cry, make a scene, try to hang himself—finally, she was left with no choice but to let him stay.

After all, who would want to turn their back on Silver?!

He was the star of her restaurant, no, a landmark, a magnet for wealth!

At that time, her gourmet restaurant business was doing extremely well, practically raking in gold daily, but ever since being struck by that lightning and sent here...

[Oh! I wonder how the business is doing now? My little vault! My lofty dream of becoming the world’s richest!]

[By the way, my little vault hidden in the cave hasn’t been found by those guys, has it? They wouldn’t have dug it up while I was gone, right?]

"Lin? What are you spacing out about? Why aren’t you eating? Eat up quickly!"

Yun Ran quickly reined in her wandering thoughts, finally silently chanting in her heart: [Little vault, hang in there! Hang in there until the day your master comes home to find you! Got it?]

"Eat, eat, eat, here I go, you eat too."

Yun Ran decided to transform sorrow into appetite, focusing on the gourmet food, thoroughly enjoying the moment.

Suddenly, a sentence drifted by her ears:

"I suddenly feel, you’re quite like a friend I know."

Yun Ran: "..."

[No way, no way? He can’t possibly be talking about me, right? Can he actually tell?]
