Chapter 182 Ye Hanting Arrests Someone
After a moment, Mu Feng panicked. How could he have such strange thoughts about a man?
He likes Chu Li, is he attracted to Chu Li?
This is an emotion that is absolutely intolerable in the secular world.
He finally found out why he felt empty during the days when Chu Li was away.
Mu Feng struggled inwardly. It was impossible. He absolutely could not be a homosexual!
He clenched his fists tightly, silently reminding himself that Chu Li was his nephew. Although they were not related by blood, they were family after all.
Moreover, he is the elder, and this kind of emotion is abnormal. He has to control this emotion and not let it leak out even a little bit.
He adjusted his breathing and walked towards Chu Li and Mu Jiangge.
When Mu Jiangge saw Mu Feng dressed in white, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle, you are like a peacock spreading its tail. You are wearing such white today. I am not used to it."
Mu Feng tapped her forehead lightly with his finger, "Nonsense."
Chu Li was stroking Dahei's fur. After hearing the voice, he looked towards Mu Feng. Today, his uncle indeed looked much more elegant than before.
It turns out that the tough guy also has a soft side. She gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "My little uncle looks good in this outfit!"
A slight smile appeared on Mu Feng's lips, and Chu Li praised him for looking good in this dress.
"Let's have dinner together." Mu Feng looked at Chu Li.
Mu Jiangge tilted his head and looked at him, "Uncle, I'm hungry too."
Mu Feng looked at her with disdain, "What's the point of eating so much?"
Mu Jiangge: “…” When did the relationship between my uncle and my cousin become better?
After the family finished dinner, Chu Li asked Mu Feng about some of the border wars in recent years.
Mu Feng was happy to share with her, and before they knew it, they were chatting until late at night.
Ye Hanting came out of the palace and did not see Chu Li.
Chu Li did not return to the East Palace. It was so late, where could she go?
When he passed by the Mu family, he saw Mu Jiangge walking the dog.
Mu Jiangge chased after Dahei frantically, "Are you going home or not? You are just like your uncle and cousin, a night owl who never sleeps."
After hearing what Mu Jiangge said, Ye Hanting immediately asked Lan Yi to stop the carriage.
Chi Yan raised his eyebrows. Oh, the prince is now with his uncle General Mu.
They are relatives, so it's normal for them to be close.
However, the master doesn't seem very happy.
He comforted her, "Master, the Crown Prince and General Mu are uncle and nephew. It's normal for them to talk late into the night or even sleep in the same room. Master, don't think too much about it!"
Ye Hanting glanced at him and said, "Call the prince out and tell him it's urgent. I have something important to discuss with him."
Chi Yan frowned, "Didn't His Majesty say that it would be okay to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow?"
Ye Hanting said coldly: "Do you want to spit out the silver you got?"
Chi Yan jumped out of the carriage in a flash.
After a moment, he came back frustratedly and said, "His Royal Highness said that he will come back to you as soon as he is done."
Ye Hanting lifted his leg and got off the carriage.
Chi Yan immediately followed.
When the gatekeeper saw the jade pendant in Ye Hanting's hand, he immediately asked respectfully, "Master Taifu, are you here to visit us late at night to discuss matters with the old general? This is my report."
Ye Hanting said calmly, "It's too late today. I won't bother the old general. This master has something important to discuss with the prince."
"Please come in, Master Taifu." The doorman immediately led the way.
Ye Hanting walked all the way to the Mu family's study, where he saw Chu Li sitting next to Mu Feng, who was dressed in white, with his chin in his hand.
When did Mu Feng wear white clothes?
He knew that this was the behavior of a man who wanted to show off in front of the woman he liked.
He probably wore it on purpose for Chu Li to see.
Mu Feng looked at Chu Li with a tenderness that was not usually seen. Chu Li occasionally smiled back and seemed to be listening very seriously and happily.
Ye Hanting clenched his fist unconsciously.
What is there to talk about now? Has Chu Li forgotten that she is a woman?
He walked towards the two of them step by step. When Chu Li saw Ye Hanting, the smile on his face froze.
It’s like a homeroom teacher seeing his or her students go to the homeroom teacher of the next class for tutoring.
This feeling of stealing made her feel a little embarrassed.
She stood up and smiled awkwardly, "Sir, why did you come here in person?"
Mu Feng met Ye Hanting's possessive gaze, and he began to wonder: Does Ye Hanting have the same feelings for Chu Li?
Mu Feng looked at Chu Li, his voice a little colder, "I haven't finished yet..."
Chu Li was just about to say, I'll come again tomorrow, but Ye Hanting suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Ye Hanting prepared to take Chu Li away without any communication with Mu Feng.
As Chu Li was being pulled out by him, he turned back to look at Mu Feng and said, "Uncle, let's talk another day."
Unexpectedly, Mu Feng took a step forward and grabbed Chu Li's other wrist.
"Just tonight."
He had never felt such a strong possessiveness towards anyone or anything.
Chu Li is an exception.
We can’t let Ye Hanting take him away, we can’t.
Chu Li was held by the wrist by two men and was in a dilemma.
What's wrong with these two people? Why are they secretly complaining? She will always be Ye Hanting's student, and it's not too much to attend Mu Feng's training class occasionally.
Ye Hanting looked directly into Mu Feng's eyes, "Your Majesty has ordered that what I, the Grand Tutor, have to do with the Crown Prince is extremely urgent and must not be delayed."
Mu Feng reluctantly let go of Chu Li and watched Ye Hanting pull Chu Li away.
After getting on the carriage, Chu Li asked, "Is it really urgent?"
Ye Hanting's eyes were full of displeasure, "You think I am a child. I came to you late at night just to deceive you. I don't have that much free time."
Chu Li closed his mouth and listened quietly as Ye Hanting continued, "Children have been missing one after another in several manors near the capital. The Jingzhao Prefecture and the Dali Temple are helpless and can't find the cause, so His Majesty has handed this matter over to you and me. Do you think this matter is extremely urgent?"
Chu Li's expression gradually became serious. The child was missing!
As a mother, she naturally felt the same way when she heard such things.
She asked, "How long have those children been missing? How many are there?"
Ye Hanting replied, "It has been going on for several months. One or two children go missing every month. Eight children have gone missing so far."
Chu Li rubbed his eyebrows, the serial disappearance of children case.
Could it be done by human traffickers?
She listened to Ye Hanting continue: "Among the missing children, seven are between the ages of five and eight, four boys and three girls. In addition to them, a baby boy is also missing."
Chu Li's eyes darkened. The child hadn't been found for half a year. How sad must the mother be who lost her child!
"Sir, tomorrow morning, let's go to the Dali Temple together."
Ye Hanting asked her, "Let's go together. Are you not going back to the East Palace?"
Chu Li nodded, "I have a place to stay. I will meet up with you tomorrow morning."
The carriage stopped in front of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Ye Hanting lifted the car curtain and said, "You won't be able to sleep for a few hours, so you can stay here."
