Chapter 821 The Big Lie


    "You two stay here and wait for her to wake up," Luci ordered. She was feeling very anxious after the


    event, but, as the chief of the Cao n, she had to fulfill her duties and find the prince as soon as


    possible. Unfortunately, only Raef and Juey had the chance of knowing the whereabouts of the prince.


    But Juey was still unconscious and not showing any hints of waking up. Luci would need to go back


    to the Magnificent Hall first.


    When she arrived in the hall, she bumped into Lucas by the door.


    "Chief, what happened?" Lucas asked urgently the moment he saw Luci''s grim expression.


    "Let''s go inside first," Luci said and then entered the Magnificent Hall.


    Lucas followed her closely. The moment he entered the room, he saw Raef. He looked like he had just


    woken up.


    When he saw the two, Raef popped out of his chair and fell to the ground. "Chief Luci," he cried. "I


    am innocent! I have nothing to do with the prince''s disappearance." His voice was shaking. "I don''t


    know what happened at all! I think I was framed!"


    "Is the prince missing?" Lucas asked as he looked at Luci with astonishment.


    Luci nodded coldly.


    "What on earth is going on?" Lucas asked seriously. How could the prince disappear from inside the


    mansion of the Cao n? It was a heavily guarded ce. A big person couldn''t just disappear quietly.


    The prince wasn''t even a spirit maniptor so there was no way for him to disappear without a trace,


    unless someone had kidnapped him. But who was bold enough to kidnap the prince?


    When Luci told Lucas that she saw Juey in Woods''s room, it became clear that the Xiao n was


    involved. Lucas red at Raef.


    "Guards, go and bring every single member of the Xiao n here. Make sure no one from the other


    ns finds out." Lucas was usually kind, but he had a temper that could terrorize plenty when


    triggered. The disciples of the Cao n immediately shuddered at Lucas''smand.


    A few momentster, Mary and the other members of the Xiao n were taken into the hall.


    When Mary and Travis saw Raef kneeling on the ground, Mary asked, "Father, what''s going on?"


    There was silence at first. "His Royal Highness," Raef said with a gulp, "is missing." His voice trembled.


    The Xiao n members exchanged shocked looks.


    Mary kept quiet but her mind was filled with worries. She thought that if Woods was missing, then there


    was a chance that Juey was in deep trouble too. She kept the thought to herself and did not dare bring


    it up. She knew that if people pried, then they''d risk exposing her father''s n of using Juey to seduce


    Woods.


    Lucas requested for the presence of several honored elders of the Cao n, but he did not invite the


    four hall leaders. Two of them were Luci''s first uncle, Tod, and third uncle, Freddy. If they found out,


    they would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. In order not to aggravate things anymore,


    they had to find the prince discreetly and quickly.


    When all the Cao n elders arrived, the Xiao n members felt like they were in big trouble.


    The Xiao n members got down on their knees. As primary suspects of the prince''s disappearace,


    they all had to be questioned, especially Raef.


    "Chief Raef, can you exin what your third daughter, Juey, was doing in the prince''s room? And what


    does she know about the prince''s disappearance?" Luci red at Raef, who was kneeling on the


    ground.


    "I don''t know either." Raef looked ashen. He did not expect the things to go bad. He had only nned


    to involve Juey with the prince. All he wanted was that the prince would take responsibility and offer to

    take care of Juey. In that way, the Xiao n could be promoted and be a big n of the Timber


    Deity Empire. He did not want to implicate his family, much less the entire Xiao n.


    "You don''t know? It''s obvious that the prince was kidnapped. And the man who kidnapped the prince


    left a note on your body. But why you? What do you have to do with it?" Lucas asked sternly.


    "Master Lucas, someone must have framed me! I have nothing to do with the prince''s disappearance!"


    Raef denied. If the Cao n found out the Xiao n''s involvement, then their n would be at risk.


    "You have nothing to do with it? Miss Mary, I know it was you who sent the prince back to his roomst


    night. I heard from two maidservants that you did not leave his room for the whole night. Don''t tell me


    you also don''t know what your sister was doing in the prince''s room?" Luci questioned. She had


    noticed the day before that there was something odd about the Xiao n. Juey was not supposed to


    be in the prince''s room, yet she was found there somehow. They definitely had something to do with


    the crime.


    "Well..." Mary hesitated then turned to look at Raef with pleading eyes.


    Raef shook his head. If the Cao n found out that they drugged the prince and used Juey as the bait,


    then they''d be doomed. It was best to act like Juey did it alone instead of destroying the entire Xiao


    n.


    "Chief Luci, I shouldn''t say anything because this is very shameful for our Xiao n, but I have no


    choice. My daughter, Juey, can be very audacious and liberated. She has long adored the prince. Last


    night, she snuck into his room and offered to serve him. Mary wanted to stop her from making a scene.


    The prince was drunk so Mary did not dare disturb him, and so she left Juey to take care of him. That''s


    why my daughter was in the prince''s room. I apologize for having such a shameless daughter! This


    was her doing! Please, punish her if you must, but do not fault the entire Xiao n for one woman''s


    doing!" Raef lied, his hands sped together as if he was helpless.
