Gong Yu walked into the lobby of Gu Ji Restaurant and heard Hu Pingfan and Lord Xue analyzing the current crisis facing Su Qianqian.

"What I'm most worried about right now is that His Majesty will do something bad to Miss Su, because His Majesty is being too ingratiating to Nan Yue."

No sooner had Hu Pingfan finished speaking than a cold, clear voice was heard.

"I'll handle this problem."

It was Prince Gong! Hu Pingfan was overjoyed. Prince Gong and Emperor Qi Jing were cousins, and it was said that they used to have a very good relationship. He should be able to stop Emperor Qi Jing from harming Miss Su.

Although Miss Su is exceptionally skilled and fearless, her family seems rather weak and unable to withstand any trouble. Therefore, it would be ideal if Prince Gong could help resolve this problem.

Miss Su is so lucky to have such a considerate fiancé.

Hu Pingfan quickly poured a cup of tea for Prince Gong and presented it to him with both hands.

"Young Master, please have some tea."

Hu Pingfan felt that the Blood Fiend Alliance was also a dangerous entity for Miss Su.

"Young Master, the Blood Fiend Alliance is very powerful. This time they even dared to kidnap Miss Su's own brother. Who knows what they will do to the Su family next time?"

Gong Yu finished the flower tea in one gulp, then crushed the teacup in his hand. "The Blood Fiend Alliance's Beijing branch will disappear before tonight."

That afternoon, Gong Yu led his men to wipe out the Blood Fiend Alliance's capital city branch.

The Blood Fiend Alliance is powerful, and originally, he and Shadow Eleven and others could not guarantee that everything would go smoothly, but Su Qianqian asked him to bring along the white tiger and the brown bear.

These two are tough and resilient, and since they're kept in the space and drink plenty of spiritual water, they're both strong and agile.

The leader of the Blood Fiend Alliance's capital branch was a very powerful martial arts master, but he was exhausted by these two.

Backed into a corner, they were at their last gasp.

The Blood Fiend Alliance is a very mysterious organization. The branch leader wearing the silver wolf mask knew that the capital branch could not be saved. In order to conceal his identity, he was particularly ruthless to himself and directly splashed bone-corroding water on his face.

The corrosive water is extremely powerful; it can turn a living person directly into a pool of black water.

The branch leader screamed and fell to the ground, his head melted away by the bone-corroding water, and even a large part of his iron silver wolf mask was melted away.

No one knew who he was until his death.

However, Gong Yu saw a burnt-out ceramic pot in the house, and inside the pot was a small piece of paper that hadn't been fully burned. It just so happened that it showed the information of one of the shareholders of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

Gong Yu held the tattered piece of paper in his hand and looked at it again and again.

It's completely unexpected that Emperor Qi Jing is one of the shareholders of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

He immediately took the tattered piece of paper into the palace and threw it in front of Emperor Qi Jing.

"Your Majesty, please explain. Since you are one of the shareholders of the Blood Fiend Alliance, did you tacitly approve of the Blood Fiend Alliance accepting the job of kidnapping Xiaobao?"

Emperor Qi Jing was very surprised. The Blood Fiend Alliance was said to be very good at keeping secrets and would never expose shareholder information, which was why he had invested in it.

Unexpectedly, he was still exposed. A scout just reported that the Blood Fiend Alliance's Beijing branch was destroyed by Prince Gong. He still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that as a shareholder, this matter would definitely not be leaked.

Emperor Qi Jing quickly distanced himself from the matter, saying, "No, absolutely not. I have no connection whatsoever with Su Xiaobao's disappearance. The Blood Fiend Alliance is very mysterious. Although I am one of the shareholders, I do not know who the other shareholders are. Moreover, the missions that the Blood Fiend Alliance accepts are kept secret. Although I am a shareholder, I have no right to know any information about the missions, nor can I influence the rules of the Blood Fiend Alliance regarding accepting missions."

The Blood Fiend Alliance is a powerful assassin organization that has stood for hundreds of years, so Emperor Qi Jing used to receive a large sum of silver from the Blood Fiend Alliance every month.

But things went wrong in the last few months, and I didn't get any money at all; in fact, I lost a lot of money.

He tried to find out the reason several times, but could not. He only heard that the Blood Fiend Alliance had lost money on a deal. The assassination mission failed, and the customer had to pay ten times the amount of money, losing a total of 500,000 taels of silver.

He still hasn't found out who the Blood Fiend Alliance was tasked with assassinating. The mission failed, causing him to not only fail to earn anything but also lose money.

I really want to know who that person was who escaped death from the Blood Fiend Alliance? They actually broke the Blood Fiend Alliance's precedent of never having failed.

"What I said is true. Although I am one of the shareholders, I know very little about the Blood Fiend Alliance. How could I possibly participate in the kidnapping of a child? It would be so shameful if word got out!"

Emperor Qi Jing decided to keep his status as one of the Blood Fiend Alliance's shareholders a complete secret. Although he knew nothing about the Blood Fiend Alliance's kidnapping of Su Xiaobao, the foolish people wouldn't think that way.

If word got out that an emperor of a country had invested in a ruthless assassin organization, it would surely cause the people to despise him.

"I can let bygones be bygones the Seventh Prince’s death by Miss Su, but the fact that I am one of the shareholders of the Blood Fiend Alliance must be kept secret."

Emperor Qi Jing actually regretted it quite a bit, regretting that he had arranged the marriage between his cousin and Miss Su.

Now, whenever he wants to punish Miss Su, the Empress Dowager and his maternal uncle will come to him and make a scene.

If it weren't for this arranged marriage, as the emperor, he would definitely be trying every means to get rid of Miss Su and give the Southern Yue Kingdom an explanation.

The situation is very tricky. The Southern Yue Kingdom might join forces with the King of Huainan to deal with the Great Qi. It's a real headache.

I truly regret not listening to Prime Minister Feng and killing Miss Su sooner; now I only feel that the consequences will be endless.

"Cousin, before Miss Su came along, we cousins ​​had a very good relationship. But since Miss Su appeared, we've become more and more distant."

As the emperor, his word was law and he could not retract his imperial edict. However, there was another way: to find a woman of high status to keep Miss Su in check.

"Cousin, you are of noble birth, and the Gong family is counting on you to produce offspring. One wife is too few. I intend to bestow upon you, along with Prime Minister Feng's daughter, Feng Xiaoshuang, as a secondary wife. If you do not like Feng Xiaoshuang, that is fine too. I have heard that several young ladies from the five great families are interested in you..."

Gong Yu slammed the imperial sword on the table, determined to sever all ties.

"There's no need to discuss the arranged marriage any further. Marrying Miss Su alone is enough for me in this life. Your Majesty, let's end our kinship here. If you ever want to kill Miss Su in the future, you'll have to step over my dead body first."

Emperor Qi Jing's face flushed with anger. "Gong Yu, brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes! How could you possibly break ties with me for a woman! Have you forgotten our past friendship?"

After Gong Yu left resolutely, Emperor Qi Jing, with red eyes, swept all the memorials on his desk to the ground, and even smashed the Imperial Seal of the State.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have arranged their marriage in the first place."

Eunuch Fu quickly picked up the jade seal. Luckily, the seal was sturdy and hadn't broken, otherwise it would have been a huge problem.
