I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Crown Prince's Meeting Room.

The room was quiet, with only two or three people sitting at their desks working on paperwork.

"Hiss~" The sudden gasp broke the silence and attracted the attention of the others.

"I... no, what was I supposed to say?" Horus flicked his reddened fingertips, muttering to himself as he pondered.

Isaiah glanced at Horus through the gaps in his long, messy, raven-gray hair and reminded him, "President, I haven't seen Mingjin lately."

"Ah, you were saying something was missing. Oh, it's Mingjin!" Horus said suddenly. "We've been having meetings every few days for the past few days, and Mingjin has been the one who chairs them each time. I feel a little strange not seeing him these past few days."

"..." Isaiah remained silent, turning a page of his book and ignoring Horus.

Horus frowned, pondering, "Something's not right. It was Mingxi who went to the instance, what does that have to do with Mingjin? He should be in his meeting as usual. Something's not right, this is really not right."

With a 'snap', Isaiah closed the book in his hands.

Isaiah stood up, his fingers gripping the book tightly until his fingertips turned white. He paused for a moment and said, "President, since you're so worried, shall we go and pay him a visit?"

If Shui Qi hadn't told him otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed by Horus's side. That guy is so noisy, and talking to him is exhausting...

A head suddenly peeked out from the conference room doorway, its pinkish-purple heterochromatic eyes gleaming with excitement. "A visit to Ming Jin?"

“Another troublesome fellow…” Isaiah muttered half a sentence, then he took a step back and shrank behind Horus to hide.

Horus greeted him with a light laugh, "Hey, long time no see, [Dawn] Vice President. I haven't seen anything from your association lately, it must be a little lonely."

Cunxi snorted coldly and said without any politeness, "Hypocrite, aren't you just lonely because Shui Qi hasn't caused any trouble lately?"

“A little?” Horus chuckled.

“I’m curious what Mingjin is doing in her room. If you’re not going, I’ll go first,” Ji Rong said suddenly, standing at the door listening to their conversation.

"Come on, come on, let's go together." Horus was the first to walk out of the conference room and called to the two of them.

Isaiah looked at the three of them and sighed softly, "Shui Qi, you really found me a good job. These people are such a hassle."

five minutes later.

"This is the one, I've been looking for it for a long time," Horus said with a smile.

Isaiah tightened his grip on the book. It was right nearby, so why did it take five minutes to find it? Are these two really reliable as presidents?
'Knock knock knock,' Cunxi knocked on the door. 'Hello, hello, is Mingjin there? Open the door quickly.'

No one answered them.

"Strange, I haven't seen Mingjin outside lately, let alone him leaving his room. Where could he be?" Ji Rong frowned slightly as she pondered.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

"Hmm?" Ji Rong subconsciously looked at the door.

"What's wrong?" Cunxi asked.

"I think I... heard something inside..." I must have heard correctly...

"So that means there's someone inside?" Cunxi said eagerly. "In that case, let's force the door open."

He flicked the black card in his hand and said, "Perfect, let me try out the prop I just got yesterday."

"That's not a good idea, since they didn't let us in," Isaiah hesitated. "Isaiah's a good boy, barging in uninvited is our usual practice. Besides, there were sounds, but they didn't open the door, something's definitely up." Cunxi finished speaking and unhesitatingly stuck the card in her hand to the doorknob.

Regardless, an electronic fingerprint lock is still an electronic lock. Everyone heard a "beep" sound, and the lock was opened.

Ji Rong and Horus exchanged a glance, then pushed open the door.

The first thing you see is an empty living room.

“Nobody’s here,” Horus said knowingly.

“There’s noise coming from the bedroom,” Ji Rong said.

They reopened the bedroom door, and inside was a boy bound hand and foot to a chair, his mouth covered tightly, and the ropes binding him were still the same props that couldn't be broken.

The boy immediately started making "uh-uh-uh" noises when he saw them.

"Are you Mingjin? Or Mingxi?" Horus asked uncertainly.

The twins look so alike that it's impossible to tell them apart.

"Hahahaha, like a drowning dog." Cunxi laughed mercilessly.

"It can't be untied," Ji Rong said, looking at the rope.

"Wait a minute, let me make a call." Horus took out his phone and immediately dialed a number. "Hello, is this Ling Tong? I need to ask you for a favor. Could you come to Gemini's room? Okay, I'll wait for you."

"It's all set," Horus said to the three of them after hanging up the phone.

The boy glared angrily at the three of them and mumbled something.

Isaiah couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to remove the cloth from his mouth.

After the gag was removed, the boy immediately shouted angrily, "That damned Ming Jin, she actually attacked me! Get to the ruins now!!"

The three looked at each other, and Ji Rong said seriously, "Could we ask for the details?"

"I was originally supposed to go to the ruins, but Mingjin knocked me unconscious when I was changing my clothes and getting ready to leave. When I woke up, I found myself tied up and he was nowhere to be seen. He must have gone to the ruins! Quick, check my pocket to see if my watch is still there!"

Horus touched Mingxi's pocket and said truthfully, "She's gone."

Mingxi frowned deeply and asked again, "Could you untie me?"

"It's not that we don't want to, but we can't. The unlocking conditions are too harsh. You can wait for Ling Tong to come over."

"It's too late! I can't wait that long!" Mingxi said anxiously.

"So what happened?" Ji Rong asked.

“I only know that Mingjin is going to do something big, but I don’t know the specifics. However, I recently saw him meeting with that little girl. She’s from Lazy’s side. I’m going to stop him.”

As they were talking, they heard soft footsteps behind them.

Horus turned his head and saw Ling Tong standing at the door, and exclaimed in surprise, "So fast."

"I used teleportation," Ling Tong explained simply.

He walked up to Mingxi, glanced down at the rope in his hand, then drew his sword and chopped it to pieces.

After realizing he could move again, Mingxi instinctively stood up, staggered forward two steps, and then ran away without looking back.

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when I get back!" (End of Chapter)
