Chapter 189: Confrontation on the Spot (6)

Thinking of this, Su Zian composed his expression and glared at Su Luo, saying sternly, "Even now, you still dare to quibble? Someone, drag her out!"

A faint, mocking smile played on Su Luo's lips.

She could clearly see that Su Zian was flying into a rage out of humiliation; he wanted to use her as a sacrifice to settle the matter, not even giving her a final chance to defend herself.

Such a father was simply detestable.

The very air in this residence made her feel nauseous.

If not for the need to secretly investigate her origins within the Su Residence, she would have long since brushed off her sleeves and left this wolf's den.

However, before Su Luo could speak, Bei Chenying frowned and waved his hand. "Wait!"

Of all the people to touch, they just had to target the one Nangong held most dear. Were they all tired of living?!

Bei Chenying then turned to Su Zian and frowned. "General Su, this is where you are wrong. Just now, Fourth Young Miss Su clearly stated she has no gold, so how could she post a mission at the Mercenary Guild? This point hasn't been cleared up yet, so how can you directly pin the blame on her? This is far too arbitrary! Could it be that General Su usually judges cases in the military like this as well?"

Bei Chenying was a man of few words, but when he spoke, he left Su Zian speechless.

Though a faint smile played on his Face, anyone could see that this President of the Mercenary Guild was displeased.

The accusation Bei Chenying leveled was far too grave; if it were proven true, it would be a crime resulting in the loss of his office and title. How could Su Zian dare to accept it?

He could only wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly force a smile, chuckling dryly, "Lord Bei Chen is joking. It's just that this is a Family matter, so…"

However, Bei Chenying seemed determined to challenge him. He raised a cold eyebrow. "If one cannot even settle a small Family matter, what right do they have to command the Empire's troops? Lord Su, wouldn't you agree?"

A flash of anger flickered in Su Zian's eyes!

We are of equal rank! If I weren't giving Face to the Bei Chen Family, I wouldn't have given a damn about you long ago. And now you dare to lecture me!

Of course, these were just Su Zian's internal thoughts. On the surface, he smiled more kindly than anyone, nodding repeatedly. "Yes, yes, Lord Bei Chen is absolutely right."

Only then did Bei Chenying let him off. Turning around, he smiled almost subserviently at Su Luo. "Fourth Young Miss Su, you may now defend yourself and clear your name. Rest assured, just speak up; no one in this inner hall dares to bully you."

Before Su Luo could respond, His Highness the Crown Prince was the first to show displeasure, letting out a cold, mocking snort. "Lord Bei Chen, do not be biased."

Bei Chenying smiled contentedly and waved dismissively. "Rest assured, I never use public office to settle private scores, never bully the weak, and never oppress defenseless women. Surely Your Highness the Crown Prince would also disdain doing such tedious things?"

These three "nevers"… were clearly the words Su Luo had used to frame the Crown Prince when he came to the Su Residence to break off the engagement.

Those three "nevers" were nothing, but it was the words left unsaid… the term "impotent" was the true meaning behind Bei Chenying's words.

"Humph!" His secret having been poked, His Highness the Crown Prince glared at Su Luo in anger, let out a cold snort, and turned his Face away.

It was all because of this Stinky Girl that he had become a laughingstock for his enemies! He would definitely not let her off easily!

He had always been at odds with Prince Jin, and Bei Chenying was Prince Jin's top henchman; the two had been at each other's throats for a long time. However, when it came to a war of words, how could the status-conscious Crown Prince be a match for the thick-skinned Bei Chenying? Thus, every time, the Crown Prince could only glare.
