Chapter 429
The situation on the scene changed rapidly, and Chadan's few words directly pushed the tide to its highest point and directed the spearhead at Lafeier father and son.
Everyone turned to look at the two of them, and the continuous reversals left everyone unprepared, and those with weak hearts could not stand it.
"What? Duke Lafeier?"
"You have to have evidence when you speak, Duke Lafeier was accidentally injured and has been recovering in the hospital all this time."
"This is a major issue, does Your Highness the Crown Prince have any evidence?"
"What evidence, I see that His Highness the Crown Prince is panicking and trying to drag people down, right? No, he's not the Crown Prince anymore, he's a criminal now!"
The two sides began biting at each other.
The young prince had an impatient personality. Seeing that there was still room for the situation to turn around, he hurriedly asked his older brother, "Big brother, what exactly is going on?"
Chadan ignored his younger brother and continued to point at Lafeier father and son, "All that talk about kicking Lin Cheng out and cooperating for mutual benefit was just a trap you set up to kill someone and get two birds with one stone."
"You were wary of Lin Cheng and didn't want to let me go either."
"I knew early on that you were up to no good, so I was also wary. Evidence, I do have some."
"---Everyone, Lin Cheng's death was not my doing alone."
"It was them. They poisoned Lin Cheng beforehand, causing him to have the poison take effect in the car, and then I took Lin Cheng to the hospital."
Kala only then realized that the person Duke Lafeier had arranged in the hospital was him!
"It was all planned by them, that's right, the car accident was arranged by me, but they were the ones who really wanted to kill Lin Cheng."
"Lin Cheng's death is inextricably linked to them, I was deceived by them and fell into their trap and became their gun."
"Even without the car accident, they would have killed Lin Cheng."
Seeing the father and son he had dragged down and the changes in expression of the Ryan faction on the ship, Chadan let out a laugh.
Then he stopped laughing, pointed at the two and said:
"You Howard clan are ambitious wolves. If I and Lin Cheng can’t get the throne, your Howard family wants it even less!"
"Lin Cheng is dead, and I bear the guilt, but my Karolin family still has countless capable people who can inherit the throne."
"As for your Howard family, don’t ever think about participating in the race for the heir to the throne again, especially you——Lai En!"
"In this battle, Lin Cheng and I lost, but your Howard clan has gambled the entire family."
"We conspired to kill Lin Cheng together, and I not only recorded audio but also video. Let's accept the trial and banishment together!"
This time it was the turn of the people on the Howard clan's ship to panic.
But the next moment,
Lai En fed them a reassurance pill: "Oh? Then please bring out the evidence for everyone to see, Your Highness."
Seeing the fearless Lai En, and looking at Lafeier, who was equally calm and composed as if he had anticipated that Chadan would do this from the start, with no change in expression from beginning to end, Chadan had a bad premonition.
He immediately instructed his assistant: "Go to my room now to get my laptop and the U disk from the second safe in the safe---wait, I'll go with you."
Lai En: "U disk? U disks seem to have a high attendance today. I just picked one up at the door of the hall."
A silver-white U disk appeared in Lai En's hand.
Chadan frowned, the bad premonition he felt seemed to have been verified. His legs moved forward unconsciously: "U disk? How could it be with you?"
Chadan hoped he had seen it wrong.
"Is this His Highness the Crown Prince's? Wouldn't the one His Highness sent someone to fetch be..." Lai En looked at the U disk in his hand with a smile.
Then, under Chadan's slightly desperate gaze, Lai En handed the U disk over to his assistant in a friendly manner.
"Go, give it to His Highness the Crown Prince for identification."
Chadan eagerly snatched the U disk from Lai En's assistant's hand. When he saw the familiar scratch on the U disk, Chadan's heart sank heavily. This was the U disk he had locked in the safe.
Naturally, what was inside would be gone.
Chadan was in utter despair.
Needless to say, the backup on his computer must have disappeared along with it. Only now did Chadan realize that he was simply no match for Lafeier father and son. Even though he was on guard.
By choosing to take the risk and cooperate with them, he was asking to die.
All of his actions were completely under their control.
Not only could they sneak into this heavily guarded palace, but they could also take the U disk from his safe behind thick walls. His multilayer encrypted computer had been hacked, which showed their capabilities.
It was all over.
Chadan's legs went limp and he collapsed on the ground.
However, regret was already too late.
Seeing this situation, everyone guessed what had happened, and also confirmed that what Chadan said was true, that the evidence did exist, it's just that it had all been destroyed by the people behind the scenes.
And Lai En dared to take out the U disk in public, indirectly admitting everything, which showed that they no longer had any scruples.
It was very clear what they wanted to do by using His Highness the Crown Prince to get rid of Lin Cheng, and then kicking His Highness the Crown Prince out of the game with Lin Cheng's death.
And Lai En no longer had any opponents at court.
The two heirs, first Lin Cheng and then Chadan. And with the old king in a vegetative state, the king's faction had suffered repeated heavy blows, and their momentum was gone. They could no longer afford to accuse His Highness the Crown Prince, and began to feel insecure.
Lai En casually said with a smile: "It seems that I did pick up His Highness the Crown Prince's missing U disk. You have to be careful where you put U disks and the like."
At this time when the king's faction was without a leader, the old king's cousin stood up and questioned Lafeier father and son: "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Lai En innocently replied: "Duke Cornell, we didn't do anything. Why do you ask us like that?"
Cornell stared at the father and son.
After a while, he loudly announced: "Chadan Karolin is suspected of conspiring to murder the heir Lin Cheng and is stripped of his status as heir."
Then he said to his elder brother the King: "I ask that the King now announce that the position of King be temporarily assumed by the second prince."
Second Prince: "Me?"
The old king's mouth moved slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Lai En interrupted loudly: "I object."
Given the current situation at the scene, Lai En's rallying power was definitely the strongest. As soon as he stood up to object, a large group of his supporters immediately stood up to object with him.
Cornell: "Don't rush, Duke. Although what was in His Highness the Crown Prince's U disk is gone, there is still one thing left."
Although Cornell was advanced in years, his momentum was magnificent: "My royal family will not shield Chadan Karolin, nor let go of anyone who deserves death. Lin Duke's death is suspicious. This matter is of great importance. I will have a forensic autopsy to determine whether Lin Duke was really poisoned, verify what was or was not in Chadan Karolin's U disk, and then Duke Lai En can compete again for the position of heir apparent."
Lai En smiled lazily: "The innocent will prove their innocence. I'm certainly very willing to wait for Your Grace Duke Cornell to clear my father's and my name. I just want remind Your Grace that Lin Duke's body has already been sent to the funeral home by his uncle. Considering the time, Lin Duke should already be on the plane back to his homeland—Hua Country. I heard Hua Country practices cremation now... I hope Your Grace can catch up—catch up and then persuade Lin Guyi."
Find Lin Cheng's corpse? Forget about Lin Cheng, they would have to go to the underworld to even find Lin Guyi...
