Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 299 - 299 THE UGLY FISH

299 THE UGLY FISH

Wu Jinhai had indeed forgotten to close the pavilion door when he immediately tried to find Bai Chen in the pavilion, and that was why Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming were able to enter the pavilion freely.

Of course, the two men who were wearing clothes of different colors did not enter the pavilion together. Wu Jingguo entered the pavilion first, while Yu Ming was a few steps behind the man.

Even if the two didn’t stand too far from each other, they didn’t speak to each other, but Wu Jinhai didn’t want to pay attention to that because he focused his attention on something else.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Wu Jingguo! I know we don’t have a good relationship with each other, but you better mind your own business!”

Wu Jinhai no longer pretended to be polite toward the younger man. He usually called the man by his formal title, but he suddenly dropped all pretense the moment he dared to say the man’s name.

The masked man did look angry even though he still covered his face with a golden mask. How he tightly clenched his fists only proved that he was desperately trying to hold himself back so he wouldn’t immediately run toward his half-brother before punching the man right in the face.

Wu Jingguo could see that his half-brother was extremely angry now, but he calmly replied, “I’m not talking nonsense, gege. I witnessed how Prince Bai Chen kept screaming from within this pavilion before he suddenly left this palace without saying anything to the people working in this place.”

“You witnessed how Prince Bai Chen kept screaming from within this pavilion?” Suddenly, it was Yu Ming who replied to Wu Jingguo’s words. “How did you manage to witness what he was doing in this pavilion, Your Highness? Jing Jing Liutang is quite far from your palace, but I noticed how you have been constantly loitering in this place since last night. Are you trying to do something here, Your Highness?”

Yu Ming calmly leaned his back against the door frame, and he even casually crossed his arms over his chest before whistling as if enjoying the tense atmosphere within the pavilion.

.....

Of course, his relaxed expression was a stark contrast to how Wu Jingguo’s face suddenly stiffened after hearing what he had just said. Previously, the Crown Prince of Wu Li had looked relaxed while talking to his half-brother, but the calm on his face was now replaced by anger when he heard how Yu Ming deliberately wanted to provoke him.

“I don’t want to talk to an ugly fish, so you better shut up!” Enraged, Wu Jingguo snapped at the man wearing black clothes.

By now, two men were looking furious within the pavilion, and only Yu Ming could endure it with a smile on his face as if he was unaffected by the tension.

“Did you just talk to me or your brother, Your Highness? There are two fish here, but you only mentioned one fish, right? That’s why I don’t know who you called ugly just now, Your Highness,” again, Yu Ming calmly replied to Wu Jingguo’s hateful words.

At this moment, Wu Jinhai felt like his head was going to split in two due to the unnecessary bickering between the two men. This wasn’t the first time the two of them had fought, and he usually just ignored them, but he couldn’t do it right now when he knew that he had to find someone soon.

“Tell me what happened to Bai Chen before he left this place, Wu Jingguo,” Wu Jinhai said, and it was enough to catch Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo’s attention.

It seemed that Wu Jinhai had decided to give Wu Jingguo a chance this time. Perhaps he was quite rash because what Yu Ming had just said earlier was not wrong. His palace was quite far away from Wu Jingguo’s palace, and that was why it was abnormal for that man to keep showing up around his palace.

Perhaps the Crown Prince was indeed up to something, but Wu Jinhai chose to put aside his suspicions as he gave the younger man a chance to explain. Even Yu Ming once again frowned at him, perhaps not believing that Wu Jinhai decided to speak nicely with the man who had stolen everything from him so many years ago.

This time, Wu Jingguo was the one who grinned proudly after gaining his half-brother’s trust, and he immediately did as the man ordered. “It might look fishy when I keep showing up around this place, but I was just walking around today when I overheard a strange sound coming from your pavilion, gege,” he started to explain, and he even glanced at Yu Ming slyly because it was the man in black who blatantly displayed his suspicions towards him earlier.

Yu Ming could feel how Wu Jingguo was trying to attack him sneakily, but he just rolled his eyes without saying anything.

Yu Ming remained silent, and that was why Wu Jingguo once again focused his attention on Wu Jinhai as he continued, “I think something bad happened to Prince Bai Chen, and that’s why I approached this pavilion to find out what happened to him. I only observed from outside the pavilion, and I could only confirm that Prince Bai Chen was in such pain that he even screamed uncontrollably.”

Wu Jinhai looked dumbfounded when his half-brother finally stopped his explanation. Perhaps some of his questions had remained unanswered even after Wu Jingguo gave him an explanation, but now he couldn’t help but think of something else after hearing the younger man’s explanation.

Bai Chen was in such pain that he even screamed from within the pavilion? That one thing surprised Wu Jinhai quite a bit. Why was Bai Chen even in pain when he was alone in his pavilion? As far as he could remember, Bai Chen was still fine before he left the Xinyang Imperial Palace to go to the border between Dong Lang and Wu Li, so why was the Werewolf Prince suddenly in pain?

Wu Jinhai looked like he was in deep thought before finally realizing something. “The full moon is coming soon, right? Is that the reason why Bai Chen is suddenly in pain?”
