Shadow heard Chen Pingping's call, but he dared not make the slightest move.

He realized that someone had been targeting his aura, and if he relaxed even slightly, he could die instantly.

However, the shadow kept looking around but found no trace of anyone, but the shadow was quite certain that he had been targeted.

At this moment, even the shadow dared not utter a word.

He didn't know the true strength of the enemy lurking in the shadows, nor whether the enemy had any helpers.

If he acts rashly, he may endanger himself and the dean.

So he could only remain silent and continue to be vigilant about the movements around him.

Chen Pingping frowned slightly when he saw that the shadow had not appeared.

He called out again, "Shadow?"

His voice carried a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Shadow inwardly groaned, knowing that if he didn't respond to Chen Pingping, he would be in trouble.

Chen Pingping will definitely come out to look for them. If that person in the shadows attacks Chen Pingping, then the two of them will be in danger.

The situation directly put Shadow in a dilemma!

Chapter 46 Threatening Chen Pingping, Killing the Censorate and Fan Xian

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the shadow without warning.

Before Shadow could react, a hand pressed directly onto his mask.

With a crack, the shadow's mask shattered.

Then, the mysterious man grabbed the shadow's face with one hand and dragged it toward the small room where Chen Pingping was.

Da da da da da!

Just then, Chen Pingping, who was inside the room, was about to go out to see what had happened when she suddenly heard footsteps. Thinking it was Shadow, she immediately asked:

"Shadow, where did you go? I called you twice and you didn't respond!"

At this moment, because the shadow's face was being pinched by a hand and its entire body was being dragged on the ground, it was impossible to see who the person was.

Moreover, his entire body's true energy was sealed by a mysterious force, preventing him from uttering a single word.

When Chen Pingping saw that she did not receive a response from the shadow, she immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to move the wheelchair to see what was happening.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I never expected Dean Chen to like these flowers and plants!"

"who!"

Hearing that it wasn't the shadow's voice, Chen Pingping turned her wheelchair around and shouted sharply.

When Chen Pingping saw that familiar figure carrying the shadow in one hand, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Your Highness, how could it be you? And given your strength..."

Then, he looked with some worry at the shadow that Li Chengtian was holding in his hand.

The person who arrived was none other than Li Chengtian.

Upon seeing the worried look in Chen Pingping's eyes, he said directly:

"He's fine."

After saying that, he flung the shadow he was holding away and withdrew the power that had sealed his true energy.

Bang!

The shadow was flung to the ground by Li Chengtian, rolled a few times, and then slowly stood up, looking at Li Chengtian with a terrified expression.

That's terrifying; this level of strength is definitely more than just a Grandmaster.

Shadow was confident that he could hold his own against a Grandmaster for a few moves, but he was definitely not going to be subdued before he could even see the person clearly.

Seeing that Yingzi was unharmed, Chen Pingping bowed to Li Chengtian and said:

"Your humble servant greets Your Highness the Second Prince."

Upon hearing Chen Pingping's words, Shadow immediately bowed to Li Chengtian and said:

"The Overwatch Council, Shadow pays his respects to the Second Prince."

Li Chengtian glanced at Chen Pingping and said:

"Get up!"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping felt somewhat puzzled, but he remained calm and asked with a slight bow, "I wonder, Your Highness, is there anything you wish to discuss with me so late?"

Not only was Chen Pingping puzzled, but the shadow standing behind him was also puzzled.

However, Li Chengtian did not answer their questions immediately. Instead, he slowly turned around, his back to Chen Pingping and Yingzi, and asked in a low voice, "Dean Chen, have you been secretly searching for the real culprit who killed Ye Qingmei?"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping's heart was instantly stirred.

He knew he had been in charge of the Control Yuan for over a decade, but he kept this secret to himself and never revealed it to anyone.

But now, Li Chengtian has so easily revealed his deepest secret. After taking a deep breath, he asked in confusion:

"How did Your Highness know that I was investigating this matter in secret?"

Li Chengtian flicked his sleeve, turned around with a flourish, and his eyes revealed an arrogance and confidence. A slight smile played on his lips as he said calmly:

"There is nothing in this world that I do not know if I want to know it."

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping was startled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Then, with a somewhat agitated tone, she asked, "Does Your Highness know who the real murderer of Miss is?"

Li Chengtian didn't waste any words at this moment, and said with confidence in his eyes, "Of course, just think about who benefits the most from Ye Qingmei's death, and that's the real culprit."

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping recalled a figure from his mind, his eyes filled with disbelief as he exclaimed, "How could it be him?"

Looking at Chen Pingping's incredulous eyes, Li Chengtian said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. Ye Qingmei's existence has affected his regime. Should we keep her alive for the New Year instead of killing her?"

Li Chengtian's words shattered Chen Pingping's hopes. Chen Pingping took a deep breath and regained his composure, saying, "Second Prince, you didn't come here tonight just to tell me this, did you?"

Li Chengtian looked at Chen Pingping, who had regained his composure, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and said:

"As expected of Director Chen of the Control Yuan, he was able to recover so quickly after learning the truth."

"That's right, I didn't come here tonight to talk to you about these things. I'm mainly here for the Black Riders in Dean Chen's possession."

"The Black Knight in my hands?"

Chen Pingping muttered to herself. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Li Chengtian with a horrified expression and said:

"Second Prince, you want the Black Knights in my hands? Do you intend to..."

Meeting Chen Pingping's terrified gaze, Li Chengtian said with a firm expression:

"Don't you think His Majesty is getting old? That's why I would like to ask His Majesty to abdicate in my favor!"

I wonder if Dean Chen would be willing to help me persuade His Majesty?

Of course, Dean Chen doesn't have to help me persuade him, but to be on the safe side, the traces of my visit tonight need to be covered up by a bloodbath of the entire Oversight Council.

Chen Pingping stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

He never expected Li Chengtian to say such a thing, let alone that he would dare to force the emperor to abdicate and even threaten to massacre the Censorate.

Chen Pingping then remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being unable to comply."

The Black Knights are a power bestowed upon me by His Majesty; I must protect them.

Li Chengtian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for killing all of your Supervisory Council and Ye Qingmei's son, Fan Xian, tonight."

Chen Pingping was filled with rage when he heard Li Chengtian say he wanted to kill Fan Xian.

The shadow seemed to have figured something out and came directly to Chen Pingping's side, whispering:

"Dean, the mysterious power remaining on the wounds of those five hundred Red Armor Army soldiers outside the capital is exactly the same as the power that the Second Prince used to seal my true energy just now."

"Moreover, my strength is like an ant in front of the Second Prince."

After hearing what the shadow said, Chen Pingping felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Li Chengtian was not bluffing.

Chapter 47 Subduing Chen Pingping and Healing Chen Pingping's Legs

Chen Pingping realized that the real culprit who killed Ye Qingmei was actually His Majesty, so why should he care whether he would be forced to abdicate?

A resolute and indifferent glint flashed in his eyes.

Chen Pingping said calmly to Li Chengtian:
