"Why do you always keep secrets from me?" Liu Ying said with a smile hanging on her face.

Unlike the normal and gentle smile from her, the smile was like a devil that threatened to kill everything in its path.

However, Lee Tao remained unfazed as he kept his eyesight on her.

With a shrug, Lee Tao continued to crack another peanut open. 

"I can say the same for you, mother." Lee Tao said.

"I don't even know how many secret chambers you have or what kind of connections you have. So we're technically even in terms of this." He added.

CRACK!

A crackling sound could be heard and upon closer inspection, Liu Ying had unconsciously cracked the armrest slightly.

Her expression was still the same though and a frightening atmosphere soon enveloped between the son and mother.

"Tang Lingling, tell me if Xiao Tao is being a real selfish prick?" Liu Ying suddenly asked.

Lee Tao was no different as he asked Tang Lingling as well. "Tang Lingling, why don't you tell mother to stop holding so many secrets in her belly?"

Tang Lingling wanted to cry when she faced the burn during their fight.

'Why am I being sandwich in this situation?' She cried inwardly. 'I just want to do my job as a servant and live peacefully…'

While Tang Lingling pondered over what to do to get out of this dilemma, someone from beneath the auction event shouted aloud.

"Isn't that Lin Cai? What is he doing over there and making a scene in the auction?"

"Lin Cai must be out of his damn mind."

"He actually dared to carry a funeral coffin in a lively event. That's a slap in the face to Madam Liu."

THUMP!

A loud thumping sound echoed throughout the auction event as Lin Cai showed a fierce gaze at the direction of the VIP Section.

"RETURN ME JUSTICE, YOUR MAJESTY!"

Lin Cai shouted loudly as he cupped his fist. 

And he continued, "Lee Tao, that imbecile had plotted against my prodigal son with his fiance. Please bring me justice."

The crowd went into shock as Lin Cai surprisingly accused the main organizer of this auction event.

Not to mention, who doesn't know the person behind Lee Tao is someone that no one could nor dare to offend.

Seeing how there wasn't much buzz in his loud accusation, Lin Cai gnashed his teeth as he took a few steps forward.

He then made a sharp glare at the servant behind him who was carrying the funeral coffin for him.

With a nod of his head, the servant quickly opened up the coffin and it was just an empty casket. 

"Your Majesty, my son Lin Cai was tricked into exploring a highly dangerous ancient ruin. And now, the only people who have returned from that are Lee Tao and his fiance, plus her fiance's companions." Lin Cai shouted as he went on his knee.

"The Tianyun Kingdom is a lawful kingdom and not one person can go above the law. May Your Majesty please help our Lin Clan get justice from Lee Tao."

Back in the VIP Section, everyone held a solemn gaze as they shook their heads.

"Lin Cai… that old man must have really lost his mind."

"Hmph, serve his dumb little brain right. So what if he married Zuo Xiaoli? His brain cells still haven't improved a bit."

Everyone sneered coldly at the action of Lin Cai.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qiang tilted his head slightly to glance at Liu Ying, seemingly waiting for her response in this matter.

Liu Ying sighed softly as she now had to stop her confrontation with Lee Tao because of an annoying rat.

'Tch, that Zuo Xiaoli must be punching the wall now. To marry such a stupid husband like him…' 

She then stood up gracefully as she smiled at Zhao Qiang.

"I think it's best we go down there, right?" Liu Ying asked.

Zhao Qiang nodded his head.

"We probably should," He said with a somewhat mysterious gaze. 

Sometime later, Liu Ying and Zhao Qiang left the VIP Section, followed by Lee Tao, Tang Lingling, and Zhao Wenxu.

As they walked down the stairs, the crowd instantly bowed slightly when they noticed their presence.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." 

Meanwhile, Lin Cai showed a fierce glint when he spotted Lee Tao among them.

In addition, he saw Liu Ying acting completely innocent.

'Fucking wrench. You gave birth to a trash and you decided to scheme against my prodigal son?' He sneered coldly as he took multiple steps forward.

"Your Majesty, please arrest Lee Tao and have him punished for his crime." Lin Cai shouted as he pointed at Lee Tao.

The atmosphere was silent as they waited for Zhao Qiang's response.

Suddenly, a slight yawn echoed, causing everyone to tilt their head to glance at him.

Lee Tao made a big yawn as he walked forward and stared at Lin Cai.

"Have your brain gone to waste when you lost your son?" Lee Tao asked in concern. 

"I know of a method to help recover your brain cells." Lee Tao then offered as he retrieved a small bottle into his hand. "This here is a poisonous syrup that I created in my free time. Drinking it would free you from your worries."

"..."

The blatant remark of Lee Tao in telling Lin Cai to commit sucide was shocking.

Hell, not a single person would have imagined Lee Tao would add oil to the fire instead of trying to minimize it. 

"Come on, are you committing suicide or not?" Lee Tao asked in annoyance. 

"I'm a generous man, so quickly drink it and I will take care of your wife on your behalf." He added.

Meanwhile, Lin Cai twitched his mouth in disbelief.

His hands were trembling as he felt his veins popping out of his forehead.

He had lost his most glorious son to a bastard and yet the bastard was still enjoying a luxury lifestyle while taunting the shit out of him. 

In order to seek justice for his son, he had also secretly gone behind his wife's back to come here tonight.

Lin Cai could no longer hold back as he exuded a profound aura.

"Bastard, hand over your life."
