Chapter 484: Did Not Want To Experience Again
It was lucky that Weiwei appeared just in time, otherwise, Lu Tingchen believed his father would seriously argue with His Majesty with a sword in his hand.
Even if His Majesty did not rebuke his father on Weiwei’s account, he would still be punished by the imperial censor.
What a stubborn man his father was!
“It’s getting late, let’s go home,” Lu Liangwei snuck a look at Lu Hetian’s face. No matter how slow one was, anyone could tell that her father was not in a good mood. She could not help but hug his arm as she said the words quietly.
Lu Hetian looked over Lu Liangwei silently. He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that nothing was wrong with her.
However, it was then that he suddenly caught a scent coming from his daughter.
The scent clearly did not belong to her, but it did seem familiar...
He went deep into thought and quickly remembered where he had whiffed it before.
This was the scent of ambergris that can be found on that bastard of an Emperor.
His face suddenly turned grim at a thought.
As he had expected, Weiwei was with that bastard Emperor earlier.
That man was an animal!
They were not even married and they had been together alone. What did that bastard Emperor do to his treasured daughter?
Lu Hetian was so enraged, he could feel the pain from his liver.
Long Yang was a hooligan, a beast!
Lu Hetian clenched his fingers so tightly that Lu Liangwei could hear it cracking, which gave her goosebumps.
Her father seemed to be, almost, viciously angry.
If he stayed like this any longer, he might do something irreversible. Lu Liangwei and Lu Tingchen gave a quick look at each other, and they grabbed him on each arm at the same time in synchronization, marching straight out of the Palace speedily.
...
At a house with a courtyard in the palace suburbs, a crack could be heard as the sound of bone being mispositioned rang in the air. A suppressed scream of pain could be heard next, which was quite chilling.
Next, a cold voice of a woman with no sign of warmth was slowly heard. “Young Master Situ’s bones are quite sturdy. If you are willing to speak the truth, I can spare you the pain of another broken bone.”
“You should just kill me,” the young man’s entire face was beaded with sweat. He looked ghostly pale as he glared at the woman with a veil on her face with painful hatred.
The woman casually played with the dagger in her hand. “Don’t worry, you’ll be absolutely fine before I get the information out of you.”
With that, her gaze swept across both his legs.
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from Situ Xu’s head.
Even though he sounded tough, he was chilled to the bone.
This was especially aided by the fact that both his hands were now broken. It was an agony that he did not want to experience again.
“House Leader, why are you being so stubborn about this? From what I gather, Lu Liangwei has nothing to do with you,” he clenched his teeth and asked with hate in his voice.
This woman was the House Leader of House of Swallow Snow. She had been tracking him ever since she found out Situ Xu was the client that had hired them to assassinate Lu Liangwei.
She did not expect him to be so cunning as he was relatively young. It was only a few days ago when she finally managed to capture him.
However, Situ Xu was quite stubborn. No matter how she had tortured him, he was not willing to reveal the mastermind behind the assassination.
She did not say much of anything. A cold light flashed, and the dagger that she had been playing in her hand suddenly lashed out.
“Ah—” Situ Xu’s painful scream could be heard. His right calf was now nailed to a wooden board, and fresh blood had poured all over the floor.
“All you need to do is to answer my question. Don’t ask anything you shouldn’t even be asking,” the House Leader’s voice was eerie and chilling to the bone.
“Kill me if you dare. Just kill me, you evil witch!” Situ Xu cursed at her.
The House Leader did not even blink. She turned to her subordinate at the side and said, “Since he isn’t willing to say anything, slice him up piece by piece and feed him to the dogs.”
Her subordinate was hesitant. “He is Alliance Chief Situ’s son after all, if...”
