20, Chapter 20
The information provided by Xie Qingran was very accurate. The mercenaries sent by Allen quickly found Zong Ming's mother and sister at the place he mentioned, and used the recording of Zong Qingxu to kill Zong Ming to successfully persuade the mother and daughter to leave with them.
When Ino learned that Allen had rescued Zongming's mother and sister so quickly, he couldn't help but said happily on the phone: "Cousin, you have made a great contribution this time!"
Allen was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Actually, it wasn't all done by me. Grandpa knew that I was helping you, so he lent me some people."
"Grandpa?" Ino was very surprised.
He remembered that after his mother and uncle passed away one after another, his grandfather, the old Duke Teresa, rarely cared about outside affairs.
"Grandpa is very happy. He said that His Highness...has finally grown up." Allen continued in a low voice.
Ino: "???" I have grown up. I have been an adult for several months.
"Grandpa is very pleased. He said that Your Highness finally has ambitions and wants to do something. As long as you have that idea, the Delan family will definitely help you." Allen tried his best to lower his voice, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Since the death of my aunt Queen Delan, the Delan family has been silent for too long and has been in decline for too long. If my cousin can ascend to that position, then... God, the Delan family will definitely rise again in his hands!
Ino: "Uh..."
Can he say that this is just the confidence given by the protagonist's aura?
"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that you have a good relationship with Yue Zhan now? It would be a good thing if you can win over Yue Zhan, but there is no need to get yourself into it. Your Highness must remember that if you are together, you will only
You can let him marry you, but you can't marry him. Once the prince gets married, it will be difficult for him to succeed to the throne." Allen said worriedly.
"Uh..." Ino was speechless for a moment, and said with black lines on his face: "What are you thinking about? I can't even marry him to my death, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Zhan said quietly behind him: "Who is it impossible for Your Highness to marry?"
Ino: "!"
[Wu Caocao! Is he a cat? Why does he walk silently? 】
If Ino were a mermaid now, she would be so frightened that the tip of her tail would be straightened.
Yue Zhan was a little funny, thinking: It’s good to be born in the year of cat, and cats eat fish. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as cat among the Chinese zodiac signs.
"Ahem." Ino quickly recovered. In order to avoid embarrassment, he simply pretended not to hear and changed the subject: "Well... Zongming's mother and sister have been taken out. Let's go to interrogate Zongming again?"
Yue Zhan curled his lips and smiled and said, "Okay."
Ino breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: It's over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished thinking about it, I suddenly approached over the stack.
Ino was startled, like a frightened bird in a cage, wary and nervous.
Yue Zhan's dark eyes reflected his expression, and with an unclear tone, he asked in his ear: "Your Highness wants to get married?"
Ino: "???"
[Am I crazy or are you crazy? Who should I marry? No, why do I have to marry someone? Can’t I afford it? No, the point is, what does this have to do with you? 】
Yuezhan didn't say anything, but raised his hand to straighten his collar.
However, when his fingertips accidentally touched the young man's fair and slender neck, his eyes dimmed. After a moment, he suddenly said seriously: "Your Highness is still young, so there is no need to be too anxious about getting married."
Ino flinched, expressing that it was a bit itchy, and then looked at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly cared about whether he would get married or not.
Yue Zhan saw the confused look on his face and got angry inexplicably. He couldn't help but pinch his soft earlobe, gritting his teeth and thinking: I usually have sex so many times, but when I was thinking about getting married, I completely forgot about me.
Little things that you dare to think about but don’t dare to live up to.
However, the depressing thing is that if you just think about it, you really don't have to take responsibility, not to mention that the little prince is still a patient with delusions.
Thinking this way, he became even more depressed.
No, why should he be depressed about such a thing? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Ino was stunned for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he suddenly became a little angry.
He felt that Yue Zhan was getting more and more unruly. After hitting him on the head, he actually started to pinch his ears again. Do you really think that he is a soft persimmon and can be bullied casually?
No, this kind of thing can be done one at a time, and this time he must take revenge.
So, while Yue Zhan was depressed and lost in thought, he suddenly stood up on tiptoes and stretched out his hand to pinch the other person. But because of his guilty conscience and the fact that he stopped his hand too quickly, he turned to pinching his ears.
Yue Zhan: "..."
He raised his hand to touch his ear, tilted his head, and looked at the guilty person with an expressionless expression.
Ino quietly put his hands behind his back, but then he thought about it and thought: Why am I guilty? He was obviously the one who made the move first.
So he straightened his back, didn't hide his hands, and said confidently: "You pinched me first."
Yue Zhan cast his peripheral vision on his white hands and subconsciously thought that the little prince's hands were indeed soft.
Ino put her hands behind her back very alertly.
Yue Zhan withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't touch other people's ears casually in the future."
"Oh." Ino nodded subconsciously, but halfway through, he froze again, thinking: Why should I listen to him?
"Why?" He deliberately bullied me.
【You can touch it, but I can’t touch it?】
Yue Zhan suddenly turned around, forced him back to the wall with a few steps, then grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the wall.
Ino was stunned. When he came to his senses, he found himself trapped between the stack and the wall. The cold cedar breath from the opponent's body enveloped him completely.
"You, what are you going to do?" he asked nervously, words such as "blackening", "little dark room play" and "fish tail play" flashing through his mind.
Yue Zhan's face darkened for a moment, then returned to normal.
He raised his hand and touched the little prince's soft ears, and whispered: "I don't know about other people, but here, only my future spouse can pick my ears. Does your highness understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Ino nodded quickly, thinking——
[You have to understand even if you don’t understand, it’s too scary to jump over the stack now.]
"Well, we should go to examine Zongming...right?" He reminded in a low voice, wanting to end this difficult moment as soon as possible.
Yue Zhan's expression froze, and then he felt helpless.
However, after obeying his heart and doing what he wanted to do, he seemed to understand why he was depressed just now.
It's a pity that the time is not suitable, the occasion is not suitable, and the little prince is... not enlightened.
He took a step back, let go of his hand, and said regretfully: "Then go and examine Zongming first."
Ino breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
After getting on the hover car, Ino thought back to the scene just now, and the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
So, remembering whether to eat or drink, he asked Yue Zhan who was sitting in the back seat.
"Well, I'm curious to ask, can't your mother also pull your ears?"
Yue Zhan's mouth twitched slightly, and he closed his eyes and replied, "No."
"Oh." Ino nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "But you didn't know what your mother was doing when you didn't remember anything."
Yue Zhan: "..."
"It doesn't count when I was a kid," he said angrily.
"Oh." Ino nodded again, but his expression became more and more uneasy.
Yue Zhan seemed to be aware of it and couldn't help but open his eyes and said, "Your Highness, if there is anything else you are curious about, you can ask us together."
"Oh." Ino nodded, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Then I just pulled your ear, what should I do?"
"This is indeed troublesome." Yue Zhan heard this, smiled and said, "Then you can only ask Your Highness to marry me."
Ino: "..."
"Just, just pretend I didn't ask anything." He turned his head hastily, his ears bright red.
Until the hover car arrived at the detention center, Ino didn't dare to say a word.
Even when he met Zong Ming, he didn't ask much questions and left the entire process to Yue Zhan for interrogation.
With Zong Qingxu's assassination recording, and Yue Zhan allowing Zong Ming to talk to his mother and sister, it didn't take long for Zong Ming to switch sides and be willing to confess.
The evidence provided by Xie Qingran can only prove that the Zong family, the Mayne family and the Federation are indeed colluding, but it cannot prove that the problem with the frontline mechas was deliberately designed by them.
Zong Ming's confession just made up for the lack of this part of the evidence.
After reading the testimony written by Zong Ming himself, Yi Nuo and Yue Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they felt angry.
Especially Yue Zhan, thinking that if the little prince hadn't reminded him in time, nearly 100,000 mecha soldiers on the front line would have been killed on the battlefield, he couldn't help but want to blow up Zong Qingxu into fireworks.
On the other side, Xie Qingran's attacks on Zong Qingxu did not stop. He knew very well the principle of beating a lost dog. Since the release of the recording, he has successively exposed evidence of tax evasion and tax evasion by the Zongjia company, as well as the oppression of workers and the death of people in a branch of the Zongjia company.
thing.
Xie Qingran did not expose his mother's affairs. These were just the victims' information that he had compiled before. At first, he wanted to help those people seek justice, but he did not expect that later...
But luckily, he used it this time.
This kind of thing has happened to some extent in many branches of the Zong family. They were suppressed in the past. Once it was exposed this time, problems in other branches were also exposed one after another. Many family members of the victims also began to be interviewed and complained one after another.
It completely aroused public outrage.
Zong Ming's confession at this time happened to be the last straw that broke the Zong family's back.
After obtaining the evidence, Yue Zhan ordered people to control Zong Wei who was still on the Blue Star without waiting for the arrest order to be issued by the Imperial Star.
Next, let's wait for the Imperial Capital Star to arrest someone.
