Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 287

287 WOULD HE BE ABLE TO STAY ALIVE?

“Hong Cheng is the leader of the Moon Behind the Clouds, and he was the person Shao Yaoting hired to cause chaos in the Forbidden Forest during the Beast Hunting Event.

He is a human who lives in one of the kingdoms within the Wu Li Empire, and since he is the boss of the mercenary group, he assigned three people to do the job instead of doing it himself. The three men who received his orders were werewolves, and they were formerly soldiers in Dong Lang. Several years ago, the three men were left behind when Dong Lang soldiers went on a dangerous mission in one of the forests.

They were left behind because the other soldiers had no choice. After all, it was impossible to pick them up at the time, but the three men felt betrayed by their comrades because of the incident. The person who had saved them when they were in danger was Hong Cheng, and that was why they had agreed to cooperate with that man in the Moon Behind the Clouds.

When Shao Yaoting came to Hong Cheng with a large amount of money, Hong Cheng immediately assigned those three people to do the job. The three men were previously soldiers in Dong Lang, and that’s why it wasn’t difficult for them to infiltrate Dong Lang’s army. It was then that they were hired by Emperor Bai Guowei to look after Shao Meihui during the Beast Hunting Event.”

Wu Jinhai had just finished his explanation, but Bai Chen and Wu Shun were still speechless after receiving the complete information from the man in red.

Now, they both knew how Yu Ming had managed to obtain information regarding the Moon Behind the Clouds. After all, some men did think with their lower bodies, and when that part of their body was fully controlled, then they wouldn’t be able to think straight anymore.

Thus, Yu Ming finally managed to get more information from the leader of the mercenary group using the dirty trick, and it turned out that the story pointed to Shao Yaoting, the leader of the Black Werewolf Clan.

“I still can’t believe it,” Wu Shun finally opened his mouth in response to his son’s story. “Lord Shao let his daughter be looked after by those dangerous people? Even his daughter was killed in the Forbidden Forest, and I think it’s too risky for him to come up with such a plan, Xiao Hai.”

Wu Shun indeed couldn’t believe it, and that was why his face was painted with doubt as he voiced his opinion about Shao Yaoting.

.....

“I don’t agree with you, Your Majesty,” Wu Jinhai quickly responded to his father’s opinion. “At first glance, it seems that Shao Yaoting is taking a risk by letting his daughter be taken care of by people from a dangerous mercenary group, but that’s not true because Shao Yaoting actually wanted his daughter to be killed in the Forbidden Forest so he would be able to wreak havoc in Dong Lang. That’s all his real plan.”

Wu Shun looked shocked, and Bai Chen was no different.

Bai Chen still remembered how shocked he was when he found out that Shao Yaoting was killed by one of the beasts in the Forbidden Forest. Back then, he had even blamed Wu Jinhai for not extending his hand to help Shao Yaoting and Bai Renshu when they were fighting the Three-Headed Snake, and that was why he had been irritated with that man back then.

He could also remember how Shao Yaoting wailed and looked heartbroken when he learned the truth that his daughter was killed in the Forbidden Forest, and he even felt sorry for that man back then.

Who would have thought that Shao Yaoting was the director of the angsty drama that took place in the Forbidden Forest? Even Bai Chen found it hard to believe, and that was why he could understand that Wu Shun also felt the same way after he received the information from his son.

“If that’s true, then Lord Shao is really crazy. What kind of father would sacrifice his own child just to achieve his goals?” Emperor Wu Shun still looked like he couldn’t believe what he had just heard from Wu Jinhai, and he even shook his head in disbelief.

At this point, Bai Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Deep down, he thought that Emperor Bai Guowei might not be too different from Shao Yaoting. Sure enough, Bai Guowei valued his eldest son so much that he was even devastated when his son died, but Bai Chen doubted that the man couldn’t sacrifice his second son if it was really necessary. After all, the original Bai Chen in this world was nothing in Bai Guowei’s eyes, and that was why he reckoned it wouldn’t be difficult for the man to sacrifice his second son.

“Shao Yaoting is too obsessed with the throne in the Rongyao Imperial Palace,” Wu Jinhai replied to his father once again. “His plan went smoothly with his daughter’s death, and I’m sure he also predicted that Bai Renshu would commit suicide after the death of his lover. The thing that happened in Dong Lang was all part of Shao Yaoting’s plan.”

Bai Chen couldn’t even find an answer to Wu Jinhai’s words. He didn’t expect things to be this complicated when he took over Bai Chen’s place in this world. It seemed like he was in the drama he used to watch on television, but he wasn’t even sure if he was the main character in this drama. Would he be able to stay alive if he wasn’t the main character here? It turned out that the people of this world were too cunning, and he suddenly turned pale.

“I actually also have other information for you, Xiao Hai,” Wu Shun suddenly spoke again to break the silence in the room. “Yesterday, after I received the report that Dong Lang was surrounded by an invisible barrier, I ordered some of our strongest cultivators to break the barrier, but they failed to do that. They told me that the barrier felt foreign, and somehow they were certain that the energy that was used for the barrier didn’t belong to a werewolf.”
