He did not regret killing Lin Gong.

Not to mention that he didn't know that the man was Lin Gong at that time. Even if he knew, he would have fought back without hesitation after Lin Gong tried to assassinate him twice!

However, after killing someone, Fan Xian finally understood everything.

He and Wan'er are over.

Although he was heartbroken, he couldn't face this fact.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing else he can do.

Fan Xian looked at Lin Wan'er, his eyes red, and he opened his mouth to say sorry.

However, before he could speak, Lin Wan'er spoke first, "Fan Xian, I came here to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer truthfully and not lie to me!"

Fan Xian's eyes were red as he nodded seriously, "Okay!"

"The first question is, did you kill my second brother?"

While speaking, Lin Wan'er pointed at the paper in Fan Xian's hand, signaling him to "speak according to the words"!

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to take a look. Sure enough, the first question on the paper was exactly this question, and it also gave the standard answer - No!

Fan Xian pursed his lips. He didn't want to deceive Lin Wan'er, and he didn't want to lie!

But Lin Wan'er winked at him seriously and asked him to say it according to the words!

At this moment, Fan Xian already understood.

Lin Wan'er came here not only to hear his true words, but also to save him!

Fan Xian originally wanted to tell the truth according to his heart, but after seeing Lin Wan'er, he softened his heart.

Lin Wan'er followed the Third Prince and risked her life to break into the Inspection Institute just to save him.

If he didn't obey at this time, he would really let Lin Wan'er down.

So after gritting his teeth, Fan Xian slowly said, "No!"

Then, Fan Xian immediately wrote down his true answer on the blank paper in his hand - yes!

Lin Wan'er looked down and her heart couldn't help but tremble!

Although she already knew the answer, she still couldn't help but feel emotional when she heard Fan Xian admit it himself.

However, Lin Wan'er didn't realize that she didn't seem to be as sad as she imagined.

After taking a breath, Lin Wan'er asked again, "Then tell me, what happened at that time?"

Fan Xian pursed his lips, then began to read the answer according to the words on the paper, slowly reading each word:

"At that time, Lin Gong and Si Gu Jian's female disciple came to kill me. They shot hidden arrows first, but unfortunately we were able to dodge them.

Afterwards, Lin Gong wanted to approach and kill me, but before he could get close, those female disciples suddenly attacked and killed him, then planted the body on me and walked away...”

After reading the answer, Fan Xian was shocked.

He didn't expect that this matter could be "made up" like this?

However, although he was surprised, Fan Xian did not forget to give Lin Wan'er the true answer.

"Lin Gong tried to assassinate me twice, but I killed him in return!"

After reading Fan Xian's answer, Lin Wan'er completely understood.

With red eyes, Lin Wan'er continued to ask Fan Xian, "So, my second brother really died because of you, right?"

Fan Xian nodded silently and said, "Yes!"

"In that case..." Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and slowly uttered the words that had been brewing in her heart all day: "Our engagement ends here. From now on, you and I will each be well and never see each other again!"

After saying that, Lin Wan'er turned around and left!

Fan Xian felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he heard this, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Wan'er!"

Lin Wan'er turned around and saw Fan Xian writing five words on a piece of paper for her: "I'm sorry! Take care!"

Lin Wan'er glanced at Fan Xian, then turned around and left resolutely!

Fan Xian's lips trembled, and the paper and pen in his hand fell to the ground.

He knew that once Lin Wan'er left, they would have no future.

But now that things have come to this, Fan Xian has nothing more to say.

The only one to blame is Lin Gong and the people behind Lin Gong!

The bluebird walked forward and quietly took away all the paper and pens.

Li Chengyuan looked at Fan Xian, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Fan Xian, I actually have a few questions for you!"

Fan Xian was stunned for a long moment before he averted his gaze, wiped his tears, turned to look at Li Chengyuan, and said in a deep voice, "What a coincidence! I also have a few questions for Your Highness!"

"That's perfect. One for each of us. Let me ask first!" Li Chengyuan glanced around and asked, "First question, is it worth it for you to cause so much trouble just for a guard?"

"Worth it!" Fan Xian said without hesitation: "In your eyes, he may just be a guard, but in my eyes, he is a living life, the only pillar of his family!

He died for me, so I must avenge him. Killing someone means paying for their life. This is the law of nature since ancient times, and no one can be exempted from it!

Li Chengyuan nodded, agreeing with his answer.

"It's my turn to ask!" Fan Xian asked, "Why did Your Highness help me this time?"

Li Chengyuan said, "You're overthinking it. I'm not helping you, I'm helping Wan'er. She's my cousin, and she needs my help. I'm doing her a favor. It's that simple!"

Fan Xian was stunned, obviously surprised by this answer.

"My second question is, now that things have come to this point, will you continue investigating?" Li Chengyuan asked again.

"Of course!" Fan Xian gritted his teeth and said, "I won't stop until I find out the truth!"

"Even if the other party is in a high position and has great power?"

Fan Xian sneered, "Even if the other party is a prince, I won't give in even a little!"

"I understand!" Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "I have no questions. Do you have any questions?"

"Yes!" Fan Xian asked, "Third Prince, I want to know if you have anything to do with my two assassination attempts."

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "If you want to know, go check it out yourself. If I tell you directly, wouldn't it be too boring?"

After saying that, Li Chengyuan stopped looking at Fan Xian and turned away!

Fan Xian looked at Li Chengyuan's back and fell into a long period of contemplation.

...

In the secret room, Zhu Ge walked in after reporting.

"Dean, they're done talking!"

As he spoke, Zhu Ge handed Chen Pingping a piece of paper. On it was exactly what Fan Xian and the others had just said, almost word for word!

After Chen Pingping took it and read it, surprise and enlightenment suddenly flashed in his eyes!

That's it!

So this is what this kid planned!

Chen Pingping sighed inwardly. Originally, it should have been his job to close the case, but now it was done by Li Chengyuan, and he did it so beautifully!

Chen Pingping had to admit that Li Chengyuan was indeed amazing.

At least, in his heart, Li Chengyuan is much better than Fan Xian!

After sighing, Chen Pingping immediately ordered, "Come here, get ready. I need to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

......

At the gate of the Inspection Institute, Li Chengyuan, Qingniao and Lin Wan'er just walked out of the door and saw Eunuch Hou waiting for him at the door.

Seeing Li Chengyuan, Eunuch Hou hurried forward to greet him.

"Oh, my Lord! You are finally out! His Majesty summons you to the palace!"

Li Chengyuan was not surprised. He nodded and asked, "Just me?"

Eunuch Hou replied, "And Dean Chen!"

"I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Hou!"

"Oh, Your Highness, please don't be so polite!"

Li Chengyuan smiled slightly, then said, "Eunuch, is it okay for me to go back to the palace with you in my car?"

"Okay!" Eunuch Hou would naturally be flexible on this matter, but he still reminded: "Your Highness, it's fine for you to ride in a car, but don't bring your guards!"

Li Chengyuan understood immediately.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I understand now!"

......

After talking to Eunuch Hou, Li Chengyuan took Qingniao and Lin Wan'er back to the carriage.

Afterwards, he dismissed the guards and asked Lao Huang to drive to the palace.

In the car, Lin Wan'er looked at Li Chengyuan with a worried look on her face and said, "Third cousin, how about I go to the palace with you?"

"No need!" Li Chengyuan smiled gently, "Don't worry, Wan'er, I'm fine. I'm not doing this rashly, and it's not all for you. I've made all the necessary preparations, and nothing will happen to me!"

.......................

After hearing this, Lin Wan'er felt a little relieved.

Li Chengyuan has always been steady in his work, and she still trusts him very much.

"Third cousin, will Fan Xian be released?" Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes!" Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he will be released today!"

Lin Wan'er nodded silently.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Wan'er, to be honest, I am responsible for what happened between you and Fan Xian!"

Lin Wan'er raised her head and looked at Li Chengyuan in confusion.
