Comeback Of The Abandoned Wife

He had never seen Ling Mohan since he saved him. He almost forgot that he was still staying at Hei Mansion. The New Year was around the corner. Ling Mohan must be desperate to leave the Gaoling Town, otherwise, the king may be worried that his crown prince had met his death.

“Yes.”

“Invite him here.”

“Yes.”

Hei Gan went back to his room to change his wet clothes as Wu Ruo got business to deal with.

Hei Xin then took the kid to play somewhere else.

So did Numu because he had to go back to his room to check on his worms.

Before long, Ling Mohan in a blue gorgeous robe came to the hall and expressed his grat.i.tude to Wu Ruo, “Thank you, sir…ma"am for saving my life, and for letting me staying here these days. If it were not for you, I would have been probably killed.”

For the days he had been staying here, he hadn"t found out the background of the Hei family though, he did notice something strange. For example, this fat man was married to another man. And the servants here had no sign of life. They talked and moved very slowly, totally lifeless, but they never rested like their strength was inexhaustible, which was extremely strange.

s.h.i.+yi poured a cup of hot tea for Ling Mohan.

“You are welcome. I will offer my help for anyone in need.” Wu Ruo said.

“Anyway, I"d like to thank you. It"s time for me to leave, after staying so long here.”

“You are leaving?”

“Yes.” Ling Mohan hesitated and said after thinking for a bit, “before I leave, could you please do me another favor?”

Wu Ruo raised his eyebrows and was surprised that how humble the crown prince was in front of him. But it made sense since he was asking help from him. If he guessed it right, Ling Mohan would ask him to escort him back to the capital city.

“What can I do for you?” He asked calmly.

“May I borrow a few powerful bodyguards from you?” Ling Mohan said.

On his way back to the capital city, people would be ambus.h.i.+ng him. There was no way he could get away as he hadn"t been fully recovered yet.

“Sorry , I"m afraid I can"t promise you that.” W u Ruo narrowed his eyes.

“I am fully aware of your concerns. But don"t worry. Your bodyguards" only job is to escort me home.”

“You should know that you are asking too much. I don"t know who you are and I am not sure if you really want my guards to escort you home. If you are going to use them to do something illegal, my entire family will be involved.”

Ling Mohan also knew that he was asking too much. But he had no other choice. If he didn"t go back soon, his second younger brother might steal his t.i.tle of crown prince from him.

He was silent for a moment and decided to risk it, “In fact, my name is Ling Mohan, the crown prince of Tianxing Kingdom. I got ambushed by my enemy while I was touring under cover. The New Year is coming. Please help me and escort me to the capital city. I will reward you in the future. If you don"t believe me, I can show you my jade pendant and palace token.”

Ling Mohan handed his jade pendant and palace token over to Wu Ruo.

Wu Ruo said while checking the two things in his hand, “I can"t tell if they are real or not, and whether what you said is true. But if you want to go back to the capital city, I have a suggestion. But I am not sure if you have the guts to give it a go.”

“What suggestion?” Ling Mohan asked desperately.

He could do anything only if he could go back to the capital city.

“One distinguished guest in Wu family will go back to the capital city in a few days. As long as you can mingle yourself in his escorting team, you will be able to go back to the capital city.”

“Who is the distinguished guest, if I may ask…” Ling Mohan got intense as he heard Wu family.

“His name is Wu Yanlan, the great-grandson of the Prime Minister Wu.” Wu Ruo smiled faintly.

Wu Yanlan especially came to Gaoling Town around New Year. The only explanation was that he came to catch Ling Mohan. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place could be the safest place. If Ling Mohan could disguise himself as a member of Wu Yanlan"s team, he would definitely go back to capital city safe and sound.

Ling Mohan"s face sank, “he is Prime Minister Wu"s great-grandson. His whereabouts and schedule must be confidential. But how did you know that he stays at Wu family?”

“Having staying here for some days, don"t you know that I am from Wu family?” Wu Ruo smiled.

Ling Mohan was stunned. Suddenly a thought of killing him came across his mind. But on a second thought, if this fat man meant to kill him, he neither had to say that he was from Wu family, nor told him that Wu Yanlan was in Gaoling Town. All he did was to kill him or send him to Wu Yanlan.

He frowned.

It was indeed a life-or-death gamble. If he won, he could go back to the capital city. If he failed, he would be killed right on spot.
