Gan Mei hopes that Buddha can hear her voice, bless her children to recover soon, and bless Xi Yu to return safely.

The lingering incense seemed to carry their hope and drifted into the distance.

On the other side, Xi Yu was walking outside the woods.

Suddenly, Xi Yu heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar. His heart moved, he immediately stopped and listened quietly.

As the footsteps were getting closer, he could feel a tense atmosphere approaching.

After a while, two soldiers ran towards Xi Yu quickly. Their faces were full of anxiety and excitement, and their eyes revealed eager desire.

Xi Yu looked at them and a sense of anticipation surged in his heart. He knew that important news must have been coming.

"Report to the Prime Minister! There is finally news!" the soldiers shouted loudly as they ran.

Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and signaled them not to worry. A calm expression appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed wisdom and calmness.

The two soldiers ran to Xi Yu panting and stopped.

They bent over, gasping heavily, their faces covered in sweat.

After a while, one of the soldiers raised their heads and looked at Xi Yu, with awe in their eyes.

The two soldiers stood in front of Xi Yu, their breath was not yet stable, and their expressions were nervous and anxious.

One of the soldiers continued, "Prime Minister, Shen Bin admitted that he had lost a lot of money before. When he was desperate, suddenly one day, a masked man found him. Shen Bin was full of doubts at the time and didn't know what purpose this man had. But the masked man actually paid off his debts. Shen Bin was shocked. Before he could recover, the man made a request to ask Shen Bin to find his mother Zhu Lianxiang and ask Zhu Lianxiang to do something. He also warned Shen Bin that if he couldn't do it, he would take his life."

After the soldier finished speaking, he looked at Xi Yu uneasy, waiting for his reaction.

Xi Yu curled a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed wisdom and insight.

He thought to himself that it was indeed not as expected.

The soldier continued, "Shen Bin originally planned to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find his mother, but that day Zhu Lianxiang happened to ask for leave to go back to his hometown, so the mother and son met in their hometown. Shen Bin took out a pack of medicine, and he told Zhu Lianxiang that he would let her return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve the young master in the meal."

When Zhu Lianxiang heard this, her face was filled with astonishment. She widened her eyes and couldn't believe her ears.

After a moment, she realized and her anger instantly surged into her heart.

Zhu Lianxiang raised his hand and slapped Shen Bin hard.

"You rebellious son! How dare you do such a crazy thing? The young master has no grudge against you, why do you harm him like this?"

Zhu Lianxiang was so angry that she was shaking, her voice was filled with anger and pain.

Shen Bin turned his head away by the slap, and his face showed pain and regret.

But soon, he gritted his teeth again.

"Mom, I can't do anything about it either! The masked man said, if I don't do it, he will kill me. I don't want to die, Mom!" Shen Bin said crying.

Chen Bin then told the relevant situation.

Zhu Lianxiang looked at her son's appearance and felt angry and painful.

She knew that her son was in a desperate situation, but she could never do such a thing that was harmful to the world.

"Even if you die, you can't do such evil things. If you really do this, our whole family will be doomed." Zhu Lianxiang said sternly.

Chen Bin sat on the ground and hugged his head in despair.

He knew he had made a big mistake, but at this time he no longer knew what to do.

Zhu Lianxiang's face was so blushed that she glared at Chen Bin, her eyes burning with anger.

"Why do you have to go gamble? Look, you have been gambled all the money now! Do you know how hard it is to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion? You have to pay for money every month to clean up the mess!"

Her voice trembled with anger, and she pointed at Chen Bin, feeling heartbroken.

Chen Bin's face was full of regret, and he knelt down with a plop, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Mom, I know I'm wrong. From now on, I will never bet anymore. But this time, if I don't do as I do, I will be dead. Mom, save me!"

He grabbed Zhu Lianxiang's clothes tightly, his eyes full of fear and pleading.

Zhu Lianxiang felt a little confused after hearing his son's words.

Naturally, she didn't want her son to die, but if she agreed to this matter, it would be a serious crime to behead him.

Her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with contradictions and pain.

"No, this is absolutely not possible. We cannot do such things that are harmful to nature. Once discovered, our whole family will be finished."

Chen Bin felt even more panicked when he saw his mother refuse.

"Mom, the masked man said that this medicine is just something that the child has taken, and the adults have nothing to do, so even if it is investigated, there is no way to investigate. Mom, please help me, I really don't want to die."

Zhu Lianxiang's heart was shaken. She looked at her son's pitiful appearance and felt unbearable.

She knew that once she agreed, she embarked on a dangerous road, but she could not watch her son die.

After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, forgot, I promise you this time. But you must remember that this is the last time and you must not make mistakes again in the future."

When Chen Bin heard his mother agreed, a hint of joy appeared on his face and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

"Thank you, mom, I will remember that I will never make any more mistakes in the future."

Xi Yu slowly walked to the woods, his figure was as tall as a pine tree, and his hands were holding back as if they were controlling everything.

His face was as cold as frost, and his eyes revealed majesty and coldness.

Seeing Chen Bin trembling with fear, Xi Yu had no trace of pity in his heart.

He knew clearly that Chen Bin's consequences are all his own fault.

In Xi Yu's heart, Chen Bin's actions are unforgivable, and he must pay the price for his mistakes.

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Bin coldly. "Do you know your guilt?"

His voice was low and powerful, hitting Shen Bin's heart like a heavy hammer.

Chen Bin raised his head tremblingly, his eyes full of fear and regret.

His face was as pale as paper, and his lips kept trembling. "Prime Minister, please spare me, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been bewitched by the masked man and did such a wrong thing." Chen Bin's voice trembled, with a crying voice.

Xi Yu snorted coldly, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "You are trying to harm human life for your own selfishness. Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Xi Yu's tone was full of anger and disappointment.

Chen Bin lowered his head, not daring to watch Xi Yu's eyes. His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He knew that his actions had caused great harm to others.

"Prime Minister, I really know I'm wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare my life." Chen Bin begged, tears slid down his cheeks.

Xi Yu looked at Chen Bin's pitiful appearance and his heart was not shaken at all.

He knew that he could not be soft-hearted about such a person. "You have committed such a great sin and cannot be forgiven. But in the interest of your proactive confession, I can give you a chance. Tell me the identity and purpose of the masked man, maybe I can consider slight despair." Xi Yu's eyes revealed a hint of expectation.

After listening to Xi Yu's words, Chen Bin felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He tried hard to recall every bit of contact with the masked man, trying to find some clues.

"Prime Minister, I really don't know the identity of the masked man. He has been covering his face and I can't recognize it at all. But his purpose seems to be to target the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I don't know what it is."

"Take him back and take care of him." Xi Yu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to take Chen Bin away.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged Chen Bin up.

Suddenly, Xi Yu's eyes were instantly covered with blood, and anger drowned him like a surging tide.

He could no longer control his emotions and rushed towards Chen Bin as if he was crazy.

"You beast!" Xi Yu roared angrily and punched Shen Bin in the face.

Chen Bin fell to the ground by this sudden attack.

Xi Yu completely ignored his identity, and at this moment he only had endless anger in his heart.

"You actually attacked the child. Do you still have some humanity?" He scolded and kicked Chen Bin hard.

Xi Yu's face turned red, and blue veins swelled up on his forehead. Anger burned in his eyes, as if he was about to burn Chen Bin to ashes.

The soldiers around were shocked. They had never seen the Prime Minister so out of control.

But they could also understand Xi Yu's anger, after all, Chen Bin's behavior was really outrageous.

"Prime Minister, please spare me. I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong." Chen Bin cried and begged for mercy, but Xi Yu's anger did not weaken at all.

After a while, Xi Yu gradually calmed down.

At the time of binding, Xi Yu walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with a serious expression and went straight to Gan Mei's room.

The moment Gan Mei saw Xi Yu, she seemed to see the support.

Tears suddenly appeared in her eyes and she quickly threw herself into Xi Yu's arms.

She hugged Xi Yu tightly and felt his warmth and strength.

"Husband, you are back. How is the investigation?"

Xi Yu gently patted Gan Mei's back, and slowly pushed her away from her arms.

He looked at Gan Mei's eyes and said with a serious expression: "I have investigated it clearly. This matter is related to Zhu Lianxiang's son Chen Bin. He was threatened by a masked man and forced the chef Zhu Lianxiang to attack the young master."

Gan Mei was very angry after hearing this.
