Chapter 1727 - 1727: The Resurgence of the Deadbeat?

Dantai Nichang was uncertain about what had been happening lately. Her beloved was repeatedly restless and always influenced by unfortunate events, as if everything was starting to go awry.

But now, her relationship with Ying Zheng had become one of mutual glory and mutual loss. She couldn't afford to take risks with him.

Years ago, she had mercilessly abandoned Jiang Feng of the Jiang Family to embrace Ying Zheng, causing internal strife within the Jiang Family and directly leading Jiang Feng to become a castaway.

If Ying Zheng, on whom she had risked everything, truly encountered problems, it would mean that her grand gamble had failed and she would lose everything!

At this moment, Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, still silent.

He couldn't say where his sudden unease had originated from, but his intuition had always been accurate!

Just like last time, he had foreseen Duanmu Zhe's trouble in advance. Is it possible now that trouble has befallen the three brothers sent to deal with Jiang Feng?

"Damn it, could that remnant be making a comeback?"

He coldly frowned, his expression dark.

Including this time, in his indirect clashes with Jiang Feng, all had ended in failure.

Moreover, the previous mission assigned by the Ying Family, to investigate the death of the little uncle Ying Ji abroad, had not been completed successfully, making his situation somewhat difficult.

Once upon a time, he was designated as the family heir by the Old Man of the Ying Family, and he was universally seen within the family as the Eastern Palace Crown Prince.

Now, however, opposing voices had emerged. Many people had started to doubt his capabilities due to his poor handling of matters, even slightly shaking his future claim to the throne!

"What did you say? Again because of that castaway?"

Upon hearing this, Dantai Nichang was also somewhat astonished and asked Ying Zheng in curiosity.

"I'm not sure right now, but there's a high probability!"

Ying Zheng replied indifferently, "Besides him, no one could block my path to soaring success. I just didn't expect that even with three top-tier family forces taking action against him, we would still return empty-handed?! I need to call Xiong Meng and the others!"

Saying this, Ying Zheng returned to the bed and grabbed his phone, calling Xiong Meng, Che Jinliang, and Rong Jingfeng respectively.

As expected, none of the three answered, causing Ying Zheng to deeply realize the severity of the situation!

"Do I really have to personally go to Jiangdong?!"

Ying Zheng put down his phone with a steely face and tightly clenched it!

The situation was indeed out of control, and repeated defeats had challenged his limits, prompting him to consider taking action personally!

"No!"

Suddenly, Dantai Nichang stepped forward, stating seriously, "Don't forget, you are widely acknowledged as the next leader of China, the Ying Family supports you so highly at such times, how can you act impulsively and without caution?"

"You have always been very composed, why are you losing your cool at this moment? Do you want to provide a handle for others?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Dantai Nichang, replying indifferently, "There's always this flea jumping in front of me; how long do I have to endure without crushing it?"

"Endure you must!"

At this moment, Dantai Nichang was completely unlike her previously charming and alluring self, and instead exuded an empress-like presence, coldly reminding, "Never forget, he's just a castaway; how could he compare to a Heavenly Pride like you? If you go to Jiangdong, not only won't it be honorable if you win, losing will be utterly disgraceful, and could leave a stain for exploitation. Do you not understand this reasoning?"

Ying Zheng furrowed his brows, wanting to retort, but eventually found a bit of reason in Dantai Nichang's words.

Given his status, indeed any little blemish would be magnified and could be used against him.

Besides, him personally going to Jiangdong to root out the problem was a matter of debate; once the Jiang Family finds out, knowing Jiang Feng is still alive, the trouble would only escalate!

Thus, after weighing the situation repeatedly, he temporarily suppressed his anger.

He turned his head, smiled at Dantai Nichang, and softly touched her smooth, white cheek, "This is why I must have you."

"When I'm rarely overcome with anger, only you can persuade me, truly my wise partner."

"Hmph, don't flatter me!"

Dantai Nichang unhappily swatted his hand, "Ying Zheng, since childhood, I chose you because I was convinced you would become great; if you were to be king, I would definitely be queen! But lately, you've disappointed me twice in a row; you must not blunder further, even if all your brothers perish, you mustn't act rashly! Besides, I don't believe that Jiang has such great capabilities to truly eliminate all your pawns?"

"Haha, you speak the truth!"

Ying Zheng laughed heartily, dotingly lifting Dantai Nichang's pale chin, "Then I'll heed your words and let others run the errands for me! Also, for some reason, every time I see your hatred for that guy surpassing mine, I feel exceptionally pleased…"

"Indeed, victors become kings while losers are conquered; whether vying for the throne or for beauty, he's never my match…"

"Hmph, you're indulging in your twisted hobby again!"

Dantai Nichang's expression shifted quickly, seeing Ying Zheng take advice, she resumed her captivating and enchanting look, "In short, you are my everything, my latter half of life is staked on you, don't be confused again, don't let me worry…"

She gently traced circles on Ying Zheng's chest with her finger, flirtatiously teasing.

Ying Zheng grabbed her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll just call someone else to verify…"

Saying so, he directly dialed a number.

Meanwhile, underneath his gaze, Dantai Nichang crouched down, unfastening her trousers…

She was indeed a femme fatale, knowing her man was fuming, she soothed his anger in her own way…

"Hoo!"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath and then pretended to be calm, speaking into the phone, "Tenth Brother, where are you?"

On the other end was Wang Jue, his sworn brother and Tenth Brother.

"Huh? Eldest, why are you calling me now, neither early nor late…"

Wang Yu's voice came through, sleepy and speechless. If the caller wasn't his revered Eldest, he would have cursed the nuisance of being woken up before dawn…

"Don't sleep yet, get up immediately, go handle something!"

Ying Zheng took another deep breath, feeling like Dantai Qingcheng was becoming increasingly lethal!

"Ninth Brother, Eleventh Brother, and Twelfth Brother have all lost contact now. I suspect trouble has struck their families! You immediately go to their homes to verify, then notify all other brothers for a meeting at the courtyard house tomorrow!"

Wang Yu froze momentarily, suddenly his sleepiness was dispelled.

He immediately sat up and said, "Yes! Eldest, I understand, I'll ensure the message gets through and the truth is discovered!"
