After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

After talking for several hours, Xiao Heyun finally came out of the mansion.

"Your Majesty, do you want to interrogate those people first?"

Xiao Heyun nodded: "Well, do it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

As the night deepened, Nangong Yuan took a few sips of tea, which she wouldn't normally drink, to refresh herself.

She didn't know what she was waiting for and hesitated for a moment.

[Ding ding, host, please pay attention, the mission target has appeared, you can start the strategy mission as soon as possible. 】

Nangong Yuan rubbed his brows and said, "I haven't figured out how to treat him yet."

[The strategy mission information has been issued, the host can take countermeasures. 】

In response, Nangong Yuan just wanted to roll her eyes.

It would be better not to give it that information.

Doesn’t Nangong Yuan know how sinister and cruel Xiao Heyun is?

If she took a few more glances at the information, she would realize more deeply that Xiao Heyun was a big villain, and an extremely cruel and ruthless one at that.

How can she make the breakthrough?

Come to think of it, the last time they met was half a year ago, when they parted in Kyoto.

······

"Oh, this is so annoying."

She sat at the table with her chin propped up on her hand, her brows furrowed, and she looked extremely anxious.

"The master is here, we should be able to leave our post later."

Liu Xiaoan was cracking melon seeds. Seeing this, he patted the shells and sat up straight.

"Xiao An, thank you for your hard work today."

Liu Xiaoan cupped his hands and said, "It is my duty."

"And Brother Nan, you've been running around all day these days."

Nangong Yuan laughed dryly: "I just saw injustice and helped. It would be great if this case is settled."

"Everyone, please take a seat. There are still many doubts in this matter, and we need to investigate it carefully."

Xiao Heyun sat in a wheelchair with a calm expression.

His eyes fell on Nangong Yuan and found that she seemed thinner than before, but her eyes looked brighter.

He just looks a little tired, maybe because he hasn't had enough rest recently.

"Your Highness is right, but now the murderer has been caught, and the only thing left is the interrogation. There is no rush."

He was going to sit for a while longer, but seeing Nangong Yuan's expression showing that she couldn't hide her sleepiness, he said, "Then let's go first. You've all worked hard today, so take a good rest first."

Nangong Yuan stood up to leave, but was stopped.

"I heard that the young master has given all his help to this case. You can just stay at your house tonight. How can you stay at the inn so late?"

Seeing this, Chen Qian also hurriedly said, "Yes, there are wing rooms in the mansion. If you don't mind, you can stay here."

She originally wanted to refuse, but since Xiao Heyun had already spoken, she didn't want to offend him.

So Nangong Yuan stayed there and told Tao Zhu not to worry.

These days, the two of them sometimes acted separately. After all, they were just trivial matters like finding people and there was no danger.

So Tao Zhu didn't follow her so closely.

"Then your Majesty, rest in peace."

Nangong Yuan bowed and followed the servant in the mansion to rest.

···········

"Where is this young master from?"

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he would be interested in this.

"He is from Kyoto, otherwise how could he be so generous? But I guess the prince is so precious that he has never seen him."

Xiao Heyun, however, had an inexplicable smile.

He has more than just seen it?

"You do trust him."

Chen Qian smiled and said, "This young master has helped us a lot. If it weren't for her, we probably wouldn't have been able to find the three disguised people."

When Xiao Heyun saw the kid drinking, he felt there was something wrong.

But when they were at the inn, they ate inside the house, so of course no one noticed.

If Nangong Yuan hadn't noticed something was wrong from the clues, it is very likely that they would have escaped openly.

"He is very kind-hearted."

"Yes, Young Master Nan is an upright person. He has been following us to investigate the case without sleep these past few days."

If it weren't for his status, he would have wanted to keep Nangong Yuan as his subordinate.

Xiao Heyun pondered for a moment without saying anything.

He was a very strange man. When he was quiet, he became even more terrifying.

Chen Qian didn't dare to speak and just stood aside.

"Master Chen, go back and rest first. It's late at night."

"This subordinate will take the prince back first."

The man shook his head and refused, saying that he had guards and would not bother.

But Chen Qian still performed the etiquette very considerately.

"Your Highness, have a good rest tonight, and we can discuss the rest tomorrow."

"Same to Master Chen."

After closing the door, Li Jincai said, "Your Highness, we have found out the identities of those three men. They are notorious murderers in the underworld, named Sanleng Ci."

"I seem to have heard of this."

They killed people without restraint and their methods were so strange that the people they were hunting had hardly ever seen what they looked like.

But their nickname, Three-edged Thorn, is still popular in the martial arts world.

"He is just a nobody in the underworld. He has no special abilities except for committing many evil deeds."

Xiao Heyun said, "No, being able to kill people is a great skill."

He propped his head up, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

"I just don't know who ordered them."

Xiao Heyun raised his head and said, "The interrogation will reveal the answer tomorrow."

After saying that, she looked at him again and said, "You should go back and have a rest too."

"My Lord, I will help you wash up first."

After finishing the cleaning, Li Jin left.

The prince hated people getting too close to him, so the guards took turns guarding outside the house.

·······

The light in the room was dim and I could hardly see anything.

Xiao Heyun sneaked into the room at some point and looked at the person who was half asleep on the bed, without moving for a long time.

The person looked very peaceful while sleeping, his overly beautiful face was covered by makeup, which was not even washed off when he was sleeping.

Xiao Heyun took a few steps forward and reached out to touch her, but froze again.

"Your Highness, the Night King, you are of noble status, and our Nangong family cannot be compared to you. My daughter is a little willful, so I hope you don't take it to heart."

These words are still vivid in my mind.

Don't take it personally?

How could he not remember.

"A Yuan..."

Xiao Heyun stood by the window and looked at her for a long time.

I don’t know if she noticed something, but she frowned in her sleep, muttered, and curled up.

Xiao Heyun walked over and sat beside her bed.

The man was so tired that he was barely conscious when he fell asleep.

It was also for this reason that Tao Zhu always stayed by her side, and slept outside while Nangong Yuan slept inside.

"Why does fate always treat me like this?"

Sometimes Xiao Heyun would find it ridiculous. It had been difficult enough for him to get to where he was now, and he didn't want to have any extravagant desires.

But Nangong Yuan appeared.

She was like a beam of light in the darkness, dazzling and warm, as if to illuminate the whole world.

“I…I won’t give in…”

He knew he shouldn't get any closer, so he left Kyoto without even looking at her.

But who knew that fate would push her towards him again and again?

"Um········."

Nangong Yuan stretched and vaguely smelled a special fragrance.
