Chapter 947: The Suspicious Yuan Biao (4)
“Father, where’s Miss Ning? She saved my life. You can’t neglect her,” Yuan Hou said worriedly.
“Don’t worry, Father will treat them well,” Yuan Biao said helplessly. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Sigh! A grown son really couldn’t be kept at home!
“Hou’er, is she really Miss Ning?” Yuan Biao asked suspiciously.
“Father, how could there be someone who dares to pretend to be Miss Ning? You’ll know when you see her,” Yuan Hou said with a smitten expression. Miss Ning’s beauty was famous in the Divine Continent. If that woman wasn’t Miss Ning, then who else was worthy of being called Miss Ning?
“Oh! According to my son, I really have to find time to meet Miss Ning!” Yuan Biao chuckled and teased. He could tell that the Miss Ning his son mentioned had long taken his soul away.
“However, I don’t understand why Miss Ning came to our Ascender Alliance.” Yuan Biao still couldn’t completely believe his son’s words, so he asked again.
“Father, she’s here to look for Leng Xiaoyu,” Yuan Hou said after some thought. He had yet to tell his father about this, but he had to say it sooner or later.
“Why is she looking for Leng Xiaoyu?” Yuan Biao immediately became vigilant after hearing Yuan Hou’s words. After all, not many people knew that Leng Xiaoyu was in his hands. How could a woman know?
“She asked Leng Xiaoyu to refine weapons for her father,” Yuan Hou said.
“How did she know that Leng Xiaoyu is in our Ascender Alliance?” Yuan Biao narrowed his eyes and asked dangerously.
“She doesn’t know. I told her,” the original owner said quickly.
“You said that? Didn’t I warn you not to let anyone know about this? Why did you still tell her!” Yuan Biao said resentfully. Why didn’t he know that his useless son had actually become a Casanova? Everyone said that girls looked good on the outside. Why was it the other way around when it came to him?
“Father, Miss Ning is my savior. Moreover, if I can get Leng Xiaoyu to refine weapons for her, she will definitely be very happy,” Yuan Biao said shyly.
“You betrayed your father just for a woman?” Yuan Biao regretted letting him know so much about him. Now, he had raised an ingrate. He and Miss Ning had yet to do anything, but he already knew how to betray his father to please a woman. Sigh! He was really sad!
“Father, how can this be considered betraying you? Don’t you want to build a relationship with the Ning family? If I can marry the Ning family’s young miss, you’ll also be proud!” the original Marquis said with a hint of flattery. He knew that only by coaxing his father would his father possibly let Miss Ning see Leng Xiaoyu.
“Hmph! If you can marry the young lady of the Ning family, perhaps I will be happier,” Yuan Biao said very realistically. The young lady of the Ning family was naturally referring to the direct line. Even though the Ning family’s head’s line on the God’s Mainland was also considered a direct line, it was still a little inferior to the main family.
“I only like the young miss of the Ning family on the Divine Continent. As for the main family’s Miss Ning, who knows what she looks like! What if she’s an ugly freak?” Yuan Hou said disapprovingly. In any case, he had his eyes on Miss Ning.
“You… you useless brat!” Yuan Biao stomped his feet in anger hearing Yuan Hou’s words, .
“Father, you’ll help me, right?!” Yuan Hou didn’t care how his father scolded him! Anyway, he knew that his father would definitely agree in the end.
“No, I can promise you anything else, but not this!” Yuan Biao refused, but he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Sigh! It seemed that this son of his had really been spoiled. How could he continue like this!
“Father, don’t you love me anymore? Boohoo… Mother! Father doesn’t love me anymore. Take me with you!” Yuan Hou said with tears in his eyes.
As for the mother he mentioned, she died not long after giving birth to him. Therefore, every time his father was unwilling to satisfy his request, he would very unfilially mention his mother who had already passed away. The result of doing this could be said to be tried and tested.
“You… you unfilial son!” Yuan Biao roared in exasperation. Then, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave in anger.
“Father…” Yuan Hou lay on the bed and called out softly. He did not expect his father to not agree to him this time. Boohoo… He could not accept this fact.
Yuan Biao was so angry that he turned around and left the original husband’s room before returning to his study.
Sitting on a chair in the study, Yuan Biao looked at his very respectful subordinate standing in front of him and said angrily, “How’s the investigation going?”
“Alliance Master, we didn’t find any clues about the person who injured the young master. However, I did find out that Miss Ning’s subordinate has been looking for someone recently,” the subordinate reported.
“Looking for someone? Is it Leng Xiaoyu?” Yuan Biao asked with a frown.
“As for who… I haven’t found out yet,” the subordinate said uneasily.
“You haven’t found out? Why are you so useless? Can’t you even handle such a small matter?” Yuan Biao roared angrily, venting all the anger he had provoked from his son on this unlucky subordinate. Hmph! He couldn’t bear to hit or scold his only son. Would he care about a subordinate?
“Alliance Master, I’ve already done my best,” the unlucky subordinate said helplessly. The young master had been injured for a few days, and now he only remembered to ask him to find someone. Wasn’t this like finding a needle in a haystack? Where could he find someone like this! Moreover, the murderer had probably left the Ascender Alliance a long time ago. After all, which fool would stay here and wait to be caught after injuring someone! He couldn’t help but secretly grumble.
“Try your best? You can’t find the murderer who injured my son, but you don’t know who that Miss Ning is looking for. Tell me, what else can you do? Hmph! I know that the person Miss Ning is looking for is Leng Xiaoyu!” Yuan Biao roared.
“Alliance Master, that Miss Ning has been staying in the guest shop since she came to the Ascender Alliance. Even though her subordinates often go out to look for people, who have they contacted? We can’t find out in such a short time. Alliance Master, please give me some time,” the unlucky subordinate pleaded.
“No need. I already know who she’s looking for,” Yuan Biao snapped.
