Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 343 - 343 HIS MOTHER AND THE BLACK WEREWOLF CLAN

343 HIS MOTHER AND THE BLACK WEREWOLF CLAN

It was already late at night, and that was why Yu Ming had suggested they stay at an inn not far from Fan Zedong’s manor instead of returning to the Xinyang Imperial Palace immediately.

It seemed Yu Ming had noticed how Bai Chen was exhausted from their activities today, and that was why he had chosen to spend the night in the village instead of returning to the palace tonight. He said that tomorrow morning they would return to the palace, but tonight they needed to rest.

Yu Ming did say that they needed to rest, but they didn’t go straight to bed after arriving at the inn. Instead, they gathered in one of the rooms that Yu Ming would use to rest tonight. There was a square table in the room, but only Yu Ming and Bai Chen sat at the table while Wu Jingguo chose to sit by the open window.

“I heard Lady Tang’s story,” Wu Jingguo broke the silence in the room, but instead of looking at the two men sitting at the table, he chose to direct his brown eyes outside the building. “I heard that she was just a normal human from Wu Li, but later she became a concubine in Dong Lang after bearing the Emperor’s child. I also know that Prince Bai Chen is her son, but I didn’t know her background story until she finally became a concubine in Dong Lang. Turns out she was trapped, ah?”

Even if neither Bai Chen nor Yu Ming told him the details of what happened to Tang Yanmei all those years ago, it seemed that the Crown Prince had managed to draw a conclusion from their meeting with Fan Zedong tonight, and that was why he didn’t actually ask a question and just asking for confirmation.

“That’s right, Lady Tang was trapped, and it was confirmed that the people from the Black Werewolf Clan were the ones who planned everything,” Yu Ming answered Wu Jingguo’s question.

It seemed that the atmosphere between Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo was quite peaceful, and that was why Yu Ming was able to answer the Crown Prince’s question with a cool head.

Wu Jingguo had received an answer, but he didn’t voice a response and only quietly turned his gaze towards Bai Chen who had remained silent ever since they left Fan Zedong’s manor.

The last confirmation they received from Fan Zedong was: “Yes, those people are from the Black Werewolf Clan.”

.....

That was indeed an answer, but some questions remained unanswered, and that was why Bai Chen’s face was still filled with curiosity.

Nonetheless, after hearing the confirmation from Fan Zedong, Bai Chen received a notification from the system:

{DING!

PROGRESS OF THE MISSION ‘FIND THE REAL CULPRIT BEHIND BAI CHEN’S MOTHER’S DEATH’

80% => 86%}

Surprisingly, Bai Chen got 6% on tonight’s investigation, and that might be another good thing that happened to him tonight.

It seemed that Wu Jingguo could understand the Werewolf Prince, and that was why his gaze turned to Yu Ming, quietly telling the man in black to say something. Yu Ming caught the signal, and he sighed before turning to the Werewolf Prince.

“You don’t know anyone who wore bandages to cover his face within the Black Werewolf Clan, Prince Bai Chen?” Yu Ming’s voice finally broke the silence.

Even if they hadn’t discussed the information they had gotten from Fan Zedong, they knew what remained a mystery from the old man’s story, and it was related to the fact that someone who covered his face with bandages was the one who led the plan to frame Emperor Bai Guowei years ago.

“I don’t know anyone like that in the Black Werewolf Clan. People from that clan like to keep everything about them low-key, and that’s why I don’t know much about them,” Bai Chen replied.

Even when he was in his previous life in this world, he also didn’t know anyone from that clan apart from the head of the clan, Shao Yaoting, as well as his only daughter, Shao Meihui. However, neither Shao Yaoting nor Shao Meihui wore bandages to cover their faces, hence the description did not fit them.

“That incident happened years ago, right?” Wu Jingguo chimed in once again. “What if that person changes his appearance? I mean, maybe it’s true that years ago he wore bandages to cover his face, but he probably doesn’t do the same now? That’s why it’s hard for us to find him.”

Wu Jingguo confidently used the word “us,” and both Bai Chen and Yu Ming turned their eyes toward him upon hearing that. Suddenly, they became an alliance, and it seemed that Wu Jingguo was indeed part of their team now.

“That makes sense,” Yu Ming even agreed with Wu Jingguo’s opinion. “We all know that Shao Yaoting is the head of the Black Werewolf Clan, and he probably wore bandages years ago when he came to Fan Zedong. At least now we can confirm that it was indeed the people from the Black Werewolf Clan who framed Tang Yanmei and Bai Guowei all those years ago.”

Yu Ming suddenly took everything lightly, and it seemed that Wu Jingguo agreed with his opinion. However, the two men were different from Bai Chen who looked dissatisfied after hearing what Yu Ming had just said.

“I heard from Wu Jinhai that those people deliberately asked my mother to seduce Emperor Bai Guowei,” the Werewolf Prince spoke again. “I’ve always been by my mother’s side since I was born, and I grew up with her too. So, I can say that I know her very well. Even if she works as a prostitute for money, I don’t think she would easily agree to seduce an Emperor.”

Bai Chen voiced his opinion, and the two men listened carefully.

“After all, it’s the Emperor of the werewolf empire we’re talking about, and normal humans wouldn’t easily agree to do such a job, would they? There are only two possibilities behind it. Firstly, my mother was threatened by those people, and secondly, my mother owed those people something that she was willing to do anything to repay the debt. That’s my mother’s personality, and that’s why I’m curious about the relationship between my mother and the people of the Black Werewolf Clan.”
