Chapter 1695: His High-Profile Return
After Long Di received the letter signed by Long Ming, Long Ming had lost his value in his heart.
He pressed the chip that was controlling Long Ming’s brain, making him die.
Soon, he received news from the fake Mo Tian that Long Ming had arrived at the emergency room.
Although he did not die immediately, his heart and lungs needed to be maintained by machines. Even so, he could not live past three months.
Long Ming’s life had come to an end!
Long Di did not let the fake Mo Tian announce to the public that something had happened to Long Ming. Long Di still needed the support of the royal family’s relatives and elders before he could announce that Long Ming was dying.
Hence, the people in the royal family soon found out about Long Ming’s vegetative state.
There was an uproar.
Long Di’s had returned in a high profile manner amidst the chaos in the Royal family.
He immediately arranged for an internal meeting of the royal family.
The meeting was held three days after Long Ming’s “death”.
Long Di had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. On the day of the meeting, he wore a tailored black suit, his hair in a mess, and a high-spirited smile on his face.
Soon, he would become the leader of the royal family.
Long Ming’s era had ended.
So what if he had lost terribly to Long Ming back then? He had still risen again!
Long Di’s high-profile return worried the elders in the royal family who supported Long Ming. Now that they had lost their backbone and Long Di was ambitious and aggressive, perhaps the world would change soon!
“The King fell ill too suddenly.”
“Yes, there must be something fishy about it.”
“The doctor has already announced that the King is brain dead. If he falls, Long Di might get rid of us.”
The elders had serious expressions and kept sighing.
On the contrary, there were three other elders who were in high spirits like Long Di.
Those three elders usually hid themselves very well in the royal family and kept a low profile. Today, they seemed to have changed into different people.
“Usually, they’re valued by Long Ming and look down on the three of us. Now that we’ve followed the right person, we can trample on them in the future.”
The atmosphere in the meeting room was clearly different.
Some were happy while others were sad.
Soon, the magnificent conference room was filled with people. After a while, someone shouted, “King Di is here!”
Long Di walked in with an extraordinary aura.
He strode to Long Ming’s seat and sat down without hesitation.
Long Di switched on the microphone in front of the table and glanced at the people below. “The people sitting here are all core members of the royal family. I’m sure everyone already knows about Long Ming’s brain death.”
A trace of pity and sadness appeared on Long Di’s face. “A few days ago, Long Ming came to find me and mentioned his health to me. He knew that there was something wrong with his body and did not want the royal family to fall into the hands of others, so he wrote an edict to make me the heir to the throne.”
The people in the meeting room started murmuring.
The three elders who supported Long Di all stood up for him.
The elders on Long Ming’s side mentioned that Long Ming’s illness seemed strange, but Long Di’s next words immediately erased their doubts.
Long Di clapped his hands and the fake Mo Tian took out a sealed doc.u.ment.
“Long Ming signed it personally, pressed his fingerprint, and stamped the edict. Everyone can take a look at it.”
When everyone saw the edict, they immediately fell silent.
Long Di stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping across everyone seated. “Everyone has already seen the edict. If there are no objections, the edict will take effect immediately. From now on, I will be the King who will lead everyone…”
After today, even if some people who supported Long Ming came to cause trouble, it would not affect him too much.
Once his position was stable, he would start dealing with those people.
He was about to become the most n.o.ble king and everyone had to look up to him.
A smile appeared on Long Di’s lips. However, before he could reveal his widest smile, the heavy door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open from outside with a bang.
Two rows of aggressive bodyguards in black walked in.
Long Di’s expression changed.
The royal conference hall was not a place where ordinary people could enter. To be able to bring bodyguards in and make such a din, they were definitely not ordinary people.
However, the important members of the royal family were all in the meeting room. Who had such great power?
Long Di said darkly, “Where are you from? How dare you trespa.s.s here?”
The bodyguards stood in two rows. After a while, steady and strong footsteps sounded from outside.
Everyone in the meeting room looked towards the door.
A tall and cold figure strode in.
The man was wearing a tailored black suit with a long trench coat draped over him. He had one hand in his pants pocket and was tall and well-built. The bright light fell on him and his well-defined and handsome face was reflected in front of everyone’s eyes. Under his tall nose, his scarlet lips were pursed into a tight line, exuding a fierce and kingly aura.
Perhaps, it was because the person who had entered had such a strong aura, or it was because the person that everyone had thought was brain dead had suddenly appeared that shocked everyone that the conference hall suddenly became silent.
Long Di, who was sitting at the head of the table, was extremely shocked when he saw the man who had entered.
Was he seeing things?
Why was Long Ming here? Wasn’t he brain dead and still in the hospital?
When the elders in the meeting room who supported Long Ming saw him coming, they were both surprised and happy. They all stood up, wanting to welcome him. Long Ming raised his hand. “Sit down.”
His deep and cold voice was filled with a dignified aura.
Long Ming walked toward Long Di. Long Di stared at Long Ming, who was walking towards him step by step, emotions surging in his eyes.
No, this was impossible!
He had already implanted the chip into Long Ming’s brain. It was impossible for him to be standing here and being perfectly fine. Besides, the doctor had confirmed that he was brain dead.
This Long Ming had to be fake.
“Guards! Capture this fake Long Ming!” Long Di shouted. Then, he looked at the people in the meeting room. “All the relatives and elders have already gone to the hospital and learned about Long Ming’s condition. How can he be standing here perfectly fine? Someone must be trying to impersonate him in the chaos. We cannot let such a person off so easily!”
Claps were heard
Long Ming, who had walked in front of Long Di, clapped his hands. “Since I’m a fake, why are you so afraid?”
“Guards, throw this fake Long Ming into jail.”
Long Di called for the guards several times, but none of the people he had placed outside rushed in.
Realizing that something was wrong, Long Di’s dark eyes looked toward Long Ming. “Who are you?”
“Long Di, you’ve been planning this for so many years, but you still lost to me. You won’t be able to defeat me in this lifetime.” Long Ming smirked, his smile cold and arrogant.
Long Di’s eyes were extremely dark. “Even if you’re Long Ming, you’ve signed the edict to let me succeed the throne. Now that you’ve abdicated, you have no right to speak here!”
