Chapter 1963: She Came Back to Find Him

Ah Zuo sent Bo Cixue out of the city.

The convoy stopped and Ah Zuo said to Bo Cixue, “Miss Bo, there will be a helicopter to send you back to the capital when you arrive at the neighboring city in that car.”

Bo Cixue got out of the car and went to the driver’s seat window, looking at Ah Zuo. “Where did Sikong Ling escape to?”

Ah Zuo frowned. “Miss Bo…”

Bo Cixue did not make things difficult for him and only asked, “Will His Highness be in danger?”

Ah Zuo said, “The Sikong siblings escaped into the primeval forest and everything inside is unknown, but His Highness has experience in entering the primeval forest. Miss Bo, don’t worry. Your father is rushing here with his men.”

Bo Cixue hummed thoughtfully.

After Bo Cixue got into the car in front, Ah Zuo drove away quickly.

However, Ah Zuo had just met up with Ye Jie when he received a call from the person who sent Bo Cixue away. “Miss Bo said she wanted to go to the washroom and did not let us follow her closely, but she slipped away quietly.”

Ah Zuo’s expression changed.

A group of elites had been tasked to send Bo Cixue away.

Since Miss Bo could leave under their watch, it was enough to see that she was not a weak and useless girl.

However, Miss Bo had been pampered since she was young and had only gone to study overseas three years ago. How could she possibly sneak away from that group of elites?

Could it be that she had been kidnapped by Sikong Ling’s men?

Ah Zuo knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to hide it from Ye Jie. He hurriedly found Ye Jie, who was talking to several counselors.

“Your Highness.”

Ye Jie looked at Ah Zuo’s serious expression and walked up to him. “What’s the matter?”

Ah Zuo told him about Bo Cixue’s disappearance.

Ye Jie’s expression darkened. “Go and find her quickly.”

Ah Zuo rarely saw Ye Jie’s expression darken. To him, His Highness could remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.

But now, his expression had really changed.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.

Ah Zuo had a feeling that if anything happened to Miss Bo, the person in charge of escorting Miss Bo might not be able to live.

One of the strategists, whose surname was Jiang, walked over. It was obvious that he had heard Ye Jie’s order just now.

He frowned and said, “Your Highness, Miss Bo was just playful for a moment. I’m sure she doesn’t want to go back. It’s more important for us to chase after the Sikong siblings…”

Before he could finish, a sharp dagger flew past his head. He widened his eyes in shock and a few seconds later, the dagger landed on top of his head, even cutting off a strand of hair.

He looked at the man with a fierce expression on his face and his body trembled.

The Crown Prince seemed easier to get along with than the cold King.

But only the people around the Crown Prince knew that he was a cold and unapproachable person.

He was decisive and fierce, making people both respect and fear him.

Of course, this was a person in a high position and had to have the means and charisma. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to hold on to throne even if it was passed to him. After all, there were many people in the royal family who wanted to sit in a high position.

“Push back the day we enter the forest and find Cixue first.”

Although they knew that there was no time to delay, no one dared to disobey Ye Jie’s cold order.

At this moment, a soft voice trailed over. “You don’t have to look anymore. I’m here.”

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Bo Cixue slowly walked out.

No one noticed when she came and how long she had been hiding.

Bo Cixue had rushed over when Ah Zuo reported to Ye Jie. At that time, everyone’s attention was not here, so she was able to hide.

Seeing that Ye Jie had ordered everyone to look for her first and not the Sikong siblings, she felt a little confused.

It was eerily quiet.

She seemed to only hear the rustling leaves and the chirping of birds.

Bo Cixue looked at Ye Jie. He was wearing a black outfit, looking tall and cold. His dark eyes landed on her and his expression was even darker than before.

It looked a little scary.

He had been avoiding her on purpose for the past two days, but when they met occasionally, his attitude was still warm, albeit distant.

But now, his gaze on her was as sharp as an eagle, making her shiver.

Bo Cixue met his scary gaze and took a deep breath, walking over. “I’m close to Sikong Ling. I want to go with you. After finding him, I’ll try to persuade him to hand over his commander’s seal and important secrets.”

It seemed to be even quieter all around.

Many people looked at her. “Young Lady, we’re going into the primeval forest and there are many risks. With your slender arms and legs, you’ll only become a burden if you go with us.”

Perhaps, she would die before they could find the siblings.

The primitive forest they were entering this time was even more dangerous than the forest Ye Jie had entered back then.

This forest did not belong to any country or government. There was once an adventurer who wanted to explore it, but he never came out after entering.

Unknown things were always respected and feared.

This time, Ye Jie did not bring many people, but a group of elites with experience in the jungle.

But even so, everyone had signed a life and death agreement before coming with him.

And if Ye Jie dared to take the risk, he would also disregard his life. If he was gone, there was still Ye Yu. His younger brother would become the Crown Prince.

Bo Cixue, a rich young lady, had actually said that she wanted to go with them in such a dangerous place.

That strategist Jiang, who had almost been beheaded, put on a righteous face and admonished, “Your Highness, although Miss Bo is General Bo’s daughter, she has a close relationship with Sikong Ling. I heard that they’re a couple. On the other hand, she’s a weak woman and will only be a burden if she goes with us to look for them!”

Several strategists behind Jiang nodded in agreement.

Their gazes at Bo Cixue seemed to be saying, “Don’t you have any self-awareness? Why do you have to make trouble at this time?”

Ah Zuo and Ah You stood behind Ye Jie. They did not dare say anything if Ye Jie did not speak.

Ah Zuo’s forehead was still sweating. If Miss Bo knew their whereabouts, she must have tampered with his phone, but he had not noticed!

It would be a light punishment even if His Highness were to sack him from his position.

This time, he had been too careless and too easy on his enemy.

Bo Cixue ignored the counsellors who were full of complaints about her and looked at Ye Jie, whose expression was cold. “Sikong Ling and I are not a couple yet. I know very well what to do.” She glanced at the counsellors. “I’m not blinded by love like you guys think.”

“The governor and his wife committed suicide. Although the information has been hidden for now, the truth can’t be hidden. Once the people of Beicang know about it, they will think of His Highness and think that he harmed the innocent. Only by making Sikong Ling surrender will we be able to clear His Highness’s name.”
