Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 358 - 358 YOU ARE TOO HEARTLESS

358 YOU ARE TOO HEARTLESS

Laughter suddenly filled the spacious Zuigao Hall, but Wu Jinhai’s face remained straight even though the person he was talking to suddenly laughed out loud upon hearing his question. The person didn’t answer right away, but his laughter was more than enough to give him an answer.

Yes, it was not about revenge, but it was all about greed.

“You’re quite smart, and that’s why I didn’t like you since the beginning, Your Highness,” Shao Yaoting finally gave a verbal response after he stopped laughing. “You’re right, I did all this because of my greed, and that’s why I didn’t like how you suddenly appeared at that stupid Prince’s side. For some reason, I knew you would become a small pebble that would interrupt my steps.”

Bai Chen could also hear what Shao Yaoting had just said. Stupid Prince, huh? His heart constricted when he heard how the old man called out to him. The senior servant he previously knew as Ma Qiao had been with him for many years, and when others looked down on him and didn’t respect him at all, the old man kept staying by his side saying that he didn’t have to listen to other people’s bad words.

But just now it was the man who had said something bad about him, and Bai Chen knew that the old man had only been acting all these years. But maybe the old man wasn’t even wrong. He was indeed stupid.

“Bai Chen is not stupid, but you are too heartless,” was Wu Jinhai’s voice that left Yu Ming’s lips, and Bai Chen was quite stunned by it. When Bai Chen once again focused his attention on Yu Ming, he could hear Wu Jinhai continuing to speak, “From your story, I can deduce that you started carrying out your plan after you recovered some twenty-three years ago, and the first thing you did was to set up a trap for Emperor Bai Guowei, right? You deliberately set him up using Lady Tang, right?”

Bai Chen could hear Wu Jinhai’s question, and he was also curious about it. He heard from Fan Zedong that the one who ordered him to invite the Emperor to his birthday banquet was a man who covered his face with bandages. Previously Shao Yaoting said that his face was destroyed by the Immortal Elder and that he even needed to go into seclusion to recover from his injuries, and it seemed the two points could be connected.

“That’s right. I was the one who set up the trap,” Shao Yaoting confirmed. “Back then, I hadn’t fully recovered yet, and that’s why I still needed to wear bandages to cover the wounds on my face when I went to Wu Li to carry out my plan. Back then, I even deliberately fooled that bitch Tang Yanmei. I ordered a few of my men to pretend as if they were going to do something bad to her, and I came as a savior. From that day on, that stupid bitch thought that she was in debt with me, and that’s why she promised that she would follow everything I told her to pay off her debts.”

“…” Bai Chen looked speechless after hearing what Shao Yaoting had just said.

.....

So, that was the reason why his mother trusted the old servant called Ma Qiao so much when she was alive? The old man pretended as if he was a hero, and his mother fell into his trap and was willing to prostrate herself because she believed that the man was indeed a hero.

‘No wonder my mother even dared to approach the Emperor during Fan Zedong’s banquet when the other prostitutes didn’t dare to do that because they knew that the Emperor was very dangerous. Turns out she was only listening to this old bastard,’ Bai Chen gritted his teeth to hold back his anger when he was able to understand the situation better.

“But I have to say that bitch Tang Yanmei isn’t effective enough with her task because she’s still afraid of that horrible Emperor, and that’s why I even needed to boost her courage by putting some potions in her drink. I also put different potions in the Emperor’s drink to smooth my plans,” Shao Yaoting’s voice sounded again, and Bai Chen was more furious after hearing the man’s confession about the evil deeds he had done years ago.

Bai Chen still remembered when Wu Jinhai told him the story of how his mother felt so guilty and dirty after destroying Bai Guowei’s family. It turned out that his mother had no intention of doing that, and she only did all that because someone forced her to.

Bai Chen knew how his mother had such a soft heart when she was alive, and he couldn’t imagine the guilt she felt all along even if it wasn’t her fault that the Emperor’s family was destroyed.

Meanwhile, at the same time but in a different place, Wu Jinhai also looked angry after hearing Shao Yaoting’s answer. He still remembered when Tang Yanmei told him about how someone put some potions in her and the Emperor’s drink years ago, and now it was confirmed that Shao Yaoting was the one who did the evil deed.

It was true that Wu Jinhai wasn’t even related by blood to Tang Yanmei, but he had met her several times in the past, and he felt somehow connected to her. That was why he looked so angry when he heard how the old man casually confirmed what evil plan he had hatched for the innocent woman.

“Earlier you admitted that it was you who killed Lady Tang, but we all know that Lady Tang wasn’t even a werewolf, nor was she part of the White Werewolf Clan. Why did you still kill her even though she helped you put your plan into action?” Wu Jinhai finally asked another question when he felt something was off about it.

Once again, Shao Yaoting casually smirked before he replied, “I killed that bitch because she found out about my true plan, and aside from that reason, I decided to end her life after knowing that she secretly had a good relationship with Crown Prince Bai Renshu behind my back.”
