Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife-Chapter 551.1: Pulling out the Nail

Li Hong Yuan’s complexion was a bit unpleasant.

The ones that went missing were just Sun Yi Lin and Min Xiao Yuan. Regardless whether it was Sun Yi Lin’s servant boy, or the people serving Min Xiao Yuan, they were still within their control.

At this time, it was no longer secretly tailing, but directly bringing in the rest for interrogation.

Turns out, after Min Xiao Yuan learned that Sun Yi Lin was preparing to send her back home, she had a huge fight with Sun Yi Lin, and directly stated that she’d already gotten expelled from the clan, not having anything to do with the Min clan anymore. ———Actually, it was just not having any relations on the surface. Her parents ultimately still loved her, so at least in terms of money, they’ve never once mistreated her.

Sun Yi Lin’s complexion was dark for several days, and Min Xiao Yuan seemingly was also having a cold war with him, but ultimately never left.

Afterwards, when waking up one morning, they discovered that Sun Yi Lin and Min Xiao Yuan were both gone. No one knows where they went.

And the people in charge of tailing them claimed, on the night that the target disappeared, they’d encountered another wave of people. Moreover, the other party’s goal was very obvious, precisely just trying to hold them up. Clearly, it was just creating an opportunity for the other side.

Sun Yi Lin’s change was just a bit unusual to begin with. Sure enough, he should’ve directly killed him.

Li Hong Yuan looked at the map. The place where Sun Yi Lin disappeared was commandery city opened in all directions. That’s why, there were many paths that can be taken, which means that the places he can go were also very many. When not knowing the identity of those helping him from behind, it can be said that to want to speculate his movement was a very difficult matter.

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan directly gave the order to kill without question to the people that were spread throughout the country. There was no need to deliberately search for, but if one encounters, then just kill on the spot. Whoever completes the task will be heavily rewarded.

Li Hong Yuan wanting Sun Yi Lin dead at this time wasn’t just because of Jing Wan, but rather, in his past life, he’d witnessed Sun Yi Lin’s talent and wisdom before, knowing that Sun Yi Lin absolutely wasn’t an average person. Moreover, Sun Yi Lin’s experiences in this life were greatly different from his past life. A person that had grown up smoothly along the current, and a person that grew up after experiencing an unforeseen misfortune, the decisions they make might be completely different. If the Sun Yi Lin of his past life harbored the world in his heart, then for the current Sun Yi Lin, it was just very hard to say. Casting himself under an enemy country, wanting to destroy Qi Yuan all wasn’t impossible. Just like Li Hong Yuan himself, didn’t he also not care about Qi Yuan that much.

Although Sun Yi Jia might still be considered Sun Yi Lin’s attachment, she can’t be considered a weakness. If he has the ability to aid another country in destroying Qi Yuan, then after the matter, preserving Sun Yi Jia as well as some people from the Ding Duke Manor was merely just a small case. Towards a meritorious subject, presumably for any ruler, all won’t be too stingy towards.

And Sun Yi Jia was also Jing Wan’s older sister-in-law. Li Hong Yuan naturally won’t do anything to her. That’s why, Sun Yi Lin can be said to be fearless knowing that he has backing. And regarding Li Hong Yuan’s matters, Sun Yi Lin more or less knew a little.

When originally not knowing, it might be very difficult to notice the things that Li Hong Yuan did behind the scenes, but once one received definite news, spending large amounts of energy to go investigate Li Hong Yuan’s matters, then many things will inevitably float to the surface little by little. Regardless whether it’s towards the outside or the inside, it won’t be far from when Li Hong Yuan is thoroughly exposed.

Right now, it was extremely possible for Sun Yi Lin to become the person that will give the definite news.

Li Hong Yuan’s face was expressionless. There sooner or later will be such a day. In any case, it was already more or less time, so what harm is there getting exposed now.

And the one thing Li Hong Yuan was unable to tolerate the most was that if Sun Yi Lin really chose that kind of path, then it goes without saying, among the exchange of interests, one of the conditions certainly will be Jing Wan.

TN: All

His past life’s memories, towards the following matters, won’t have any help at all, because many things, at present, have already changed beyond recognition. However, when Li Hong Yuan did things, his past life’s memories, that was also just a reference. If completely just relying on those, then would it still be considered changing, let alone altering fate and defying the heavens.

Next, it was just relying on their respective abilities and properly battling it out. He rather want to see the pillar of the country in his past life, known as the youngest cabinet minister, Sun Yi Lin that was praised by many, whether or not he had the ability to defeat him.

One has to know, even if losing the advantage of ‘foresight’, Li Hong Yuan still possessed an excellent hand. After all, he has been setting up for that long. These various things, how was it something that Sun Yi Lin can possess. What Sun Yi Lin relied on was probably just his brain. To want to contend against him, he can only borrow power, borrowing another country’s power.

Moreover, if it’s just one country, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, it was still far from enough. But, once it exceeded more than one country, then it will just become the battle of interests between countries. A fragrant fatty meat, no one likes evenly sharing, all would want to monopolize. And to want to rely on one’s own power to obtain authority among them, it was even more difficult. Whether it’s becoming the chess piece, getting discarded after the fact, or becoming the person playing chess, this was very important.

Li Hong Yuan strangely felt a bit excited. Can only say, ever since his rebirth, although he needed to restrain his temper in all kinds of ways, everything else can be considered smooth sailing. Not having any worthy opponents more or less would make one feel a bit lonely at the top.

In his past life, even in that kind of adverse environment, he was all able to turn things around, could it be that in this life, under the circumstances of having everything controlled in his palm, he can still lose? If he really were to lose, he would also accept. When time comes, it was nothing more than taking Jing Wan together with him to the next life.

He can lose anything, and it’s not like he can’t afford to lose, but only Jing Wan, he absolutely won’t let go.

And also only on Jing Wan’s matter, he won’t lose to anyone.

Li Hong Yuan figured, even if the people below were to just that coincidentally run into Sun Yi Lin, the probability of Sun Yi Lin just that unluckily getting killed was very low. That’s why, Li Hong Yuan was mostly still waiting, waiting for Sun Yi Lin to make a move. Right now, he just needed to quietly wait for the right timing.

Jing Wan felt that her husband lately seemingly was a bit strange, like faintly in a kind of excitement. Every time she asked, the other party would just say it was nothing. And when Jing Wan pressed him more, Li Hong Yuan finally stated that some things might end soon. However, the specifics, Li Hong Yuan was unwilling to say.

Jing Wan just figured that he was preparing to voluntarily make a move, ending Qi Yuan’s battle for the throne. Even if not immediately ascending the throne now, still need to proclaim his unparalleled position.

Jing Wan also knew that right now, her situation was special, never mind not being able to help, she might even be a burden. That’s why, she also no longer questioned, entirely setting her mind on peacefully raising the fetus, just doing what a pregnant woman should do.

Just, after waiting left and right, it already entered the tenth month. This stomach of hers was already somewhat obvious, yet Jing Wan still didn’t see him make any moves, seemingly no different from before. Jing Wan was puzzled, exactly what was he up to?

But, unbeknownst to her, Li Hong Yuan was also waiting. Just, according to the situation reported up previously, there were indeed people investigating him already, but the various signs all showed that seemingly to a certain point, there was just nothing more. What the other party wanted seemingly wasn’t his exact strength, but rather just wanting a rough understanding, or perhaps just confirming something.

Li Hong Yuan was even waiting for someone to have the matter reported to that good imperial father of his, yet in the end, nothing happened. In fact, something like some of his plans and arrangements getting ruined also didn’t happen. This truly just made one somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that his guesses were wrong, and the person helping Sun Yi Lin was actually someone within Qi Yuan, even remotely controlling the situation from somewhere in the capital?

This possibility truly wasn’t very big. However, Li Hong Yuan still increased his control of the capital, ruthlessly inspecting once more. If he were to get schemed against right under his own eyelid, then Li Hong Yuan can just slap himself a few times on his own.

And this investigation really did draw out some more small fries.

Right now, there was clearly no need to keep those small fries anymore, all dragging out and directly crushing to death.

Just, in this matter, they still discovered a bit of a mishap. A thread that can be said to be very important snapped. It was none other than Yao Rao. Back then, because Kang Qinwang tried to send Li Hong Yuan people, Jing Wan directly rammed his gates, and the person that directly suffered a calamity was precisely that woman that was once Kang Qinwang’s advisor. However, Yao Rao also can’t be underestimated. Her intelligence exceeded the mass, and moreover, possessed an incredible skill in disguise. Even when facing a certain death, she was all able to vanish leaving behind an empty shell, going into hiding. Li Hong Yuan’s people had actually found her real body, but because of clearly knowing that Yao Rao was a spy, and Li Hong Yuan was also aware of her true identity, they just left her. At a crucial time, perhaps they can even make use of her. Just, they originally thought that the person was still within their control, yet this time, they finally discovered that unknown as to when, the person had changed. This was just a person wearing two layers of skin mask.

An Er(two) knelt on the ground below asking for punishment. This was indeed a failure of their duty. Never mind letting the person slip away, they don’t even know when the person slipped away. This was just unpardonable.

However, right now wasn’t the time to settle the score.
