Chapter 423
Late at night, Lai En sat on the sofa in the hospital room, pressing the remote control to flip through the channels, but he kept glancing at the time, apparently waiting for someone.
Finally, someone pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. He first carefully looked outside, then closed the door and walked quickly to Lai En, "Duke." He was holding a briefcase.
This person was Lai En's confidant.
Lai En put down the remote control: "How is it?"
The man opened his briefcase and took out stuff: "I've got some clues about the things and people you asked me to investigate."
He handed Lai En several documents: "Something did happen when the Old Duke went on a business trip to T Country back then."
Lai En took them and immediately started reading.
The man continued to take out a file carefully sealed in a sealed bag: "Also, here is the appraisal result you wanted."
Lai En looked at it, immediately put down the documents in his hand, took over the sealed bag, very thin, seeming to contain only a few sheets of paper.
Lai En quickly opened it, took out the contents, and when he saw the appraisal results on it, he couldn't help gasping.
Seeing Lai En's reaction, the confidant's gaze uncontrollably followed along, and he was immediately shocked with eyes wide open: "You and the Old Duke..."
As the Eldest Prince said, this was all a conspiracy. Even if it wasn't, the Howard Family would take the opportunity to do something.
Those people from the royal family blocked the royal palace today, and tomorrow they would block the hospital. And now, they were already downstairs.
They were all supporters of the Howard Family. One could imagine who was inciting and fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Outside the morgue,
the Second Prince squatted in front of Lin Guli: "...Prince Lin, I know Duke Lin's death was a huge blow to you, and I know I shouldn't ask you for this favor at this time, but we really have no other way. Now only you can help us. Only you representing Lin Cheng and speaking up can reassure everyone."
Seeing the ashen-faced and unresponsive Lin Guli, the Second Prince grabbed Lin Guli's arm: "Just consider this my plea, okay?"
Lin Guli slowly waved away the Second Prince's hand, his dim eyes looked at him, hoarsely telling him slowly: "...We have a saying in Huaguo that to rest in peace, the deceased must be laid to rest. Lin Cheng's body cannot be kept here indefinitely. I'm going to bury him and take him away."
The Second Prince pleaded: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, okay? The Howard supporters led by Lincoln are blocking downstairs right now. If you make Duke Lin's death public now, I'm afraid my father won't live long. He really can't take another blow. C Country has no one in charge now. Please wait a few more days for my father's sake, give us some time, okay?"
"At least, at least give us time to find some evidence of Lafeier's crime."
The Second Prince grabbed Lin Guli's arm tightly: "C Country must not become a Howard domain."
There was the sound of footsteps,
and the Eldest Prince appeared with more than a dozen royal guards, aggressive: "No one is allowed to take Duke Lin's body out of the hospital."
Lin Guli looked at Chadan.
Chadan's face was hard as iron: "Prince Lin, please come with me now to prove to them that Duke Lin is still alive. This is my father the King's order."
The Eldest Prince's aggressiveness made the Second Prince worried. He stood up at once: "Big brother..." He wanted to stop him.
Chadan interrupted him directly: "We're out of time. That group of people downstairs somehow found out about Duke Lin's death."
The Second Prince said anxiously: "What? They knew? How could they have known? We blocked all the news. Could it really be that doctor..."
Chadan said: "Not only that, they also brought media reporters to come together. Obviously they have confirmed this news."
Chadan told Lin Guli: "If we can't make them believe today that Duke Lin—the heir to the throne is still alive, C Country will fall into the hands of the Howard Family."
"I'm not discussing this with Prince Lin. I've come to convey my father the King's order. This concerns the whole country and does not allow you to make decisions privately. You now have two choices, either come out with me to tell those people that Duke Lin is still alive, or leave Duke Lin's body here."
Lin Guli looked at Chadan and slowly stood up, his fists clenched and creaking. Facing the order of the ruler of a country, he was fearless and clearly told Chadan: "Tell your father, I don't choose either of these two options."
