The Imperial Guards were highly agile and they had already spread out throughout the Crown Prince's Residence, searching for any suspicious spots. Lei Chen stood in the middle of the main hall, watching the Imperial Guards moving quickly, his heart filled with a sneer.
Yuan Biao stood on one side, secretly observing Lei Chen's reaction. Not finding any sign of Jun Xie in the Immortals' Loft, the first place he thought of was the Crown Prince's Residence. Jun Xie had no kin in the Yan Country's Imperial Capital and was unfamiliar with the place. Besides the Immortals' Loft, the only other place he could go to, would be the Crown Prince's Residence.
But what Yuan Biao found strange was when the Imperial Guards were searching the Crown Prince's Residence, besides showing a trace of dissatisfaction, Lei Chen's face did not show the slightest bit of worry or guilt. If Lei Chen's disguise was not too good, then Jun Xie was really not in the Crown Prince's Residence.
Very quickly, the Imperial Guards who had turned the Crown Prince's Residence inside out gathered in the main hall. They had not found any sign of Jun Xie in the Crown Prince's Residence.
Yuan Biao frowned slightly and Lei Chen said with a sneer: "How is it? Are you satisfied, Commander Yuan? "
Yuan Biao replied: "Would Your Highness please gather everyone in the Residence here. The fugitive is cunning and your vassal is worried that he has disguised himself as a servant in the Residence to escape capture."
Lei Chen snorted coldly and said: "Commander Yuan is really cautious. Are you so sure that Jun Xie will be hiding in my residence? Oh well! Men, go get everyone in the Crown Prince's Residence here, and let Commander Yuan inspect them one by one. "
With Lei Chen's order, everyone in the Crown Prince's Residence began to walk out from the Residence into the main hall. The Imperial Guards even specifically checked the rooms to make sure that no one was hiding in the rooms before they were reassured.
There were several tens of servants in the Crown Prince's Residence, men and women, young and old.
Yuan Biao personally walked to stand before all of them, his sharp gaze sweeping over each and every one of them, unwilling to miss out on anything that might be suspicious.
Lei Chen was not worried in the slightest as Jun Xie had not even come to look for him, so how could he possibly hide him? He then followed Yuan Biao to look around at everyone in the Residence. But when his gaze swept over an old servant with a hunched back, his eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.
Although there were many servants in the mansion, these people had served him for many years. It could be said that he was extremely familiar with everyone's face. However, the old man's face was somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Because Yuan Biao was present, Lei Chen didn't think too much about it and quickly looked away.
Yuan Biao finally looked at the dozens of heads, especially the petite manservants and maidservants. After confirming that there was no possibility of them disguising themselves, he frowned and retreated.
"Have you found the person Commander Yuan is looking for?" Lei Chen sneered.
Yuan Biao shook his head and cupped his fists in greeting: "I have disturbed Your Highness today, and I hope that Your Highness will not take offense. But Jun Xie had injured the Fourth Prince, and that is equivalent to hurting the face of the Royal Family. Your vassal has no choice but to handle this matter impartially."
Lei Chen glanced at Yuan Biao and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes: "How would I dare to blame Commander Yuan? Since Commander Yuan did not find the culprit, then can you return peace to my residence?"
Yuan Biao said, "Of course."
After that, Yuan Biao led the Imperial Guards and left the Crown Prince's Residence, and the servants were dismissed one by one.
Very quickly, the guards came back with news that although Yuan Biao had left, he had secretly left a team of Imperial Guards to stand guard outside the Crown Prince's Residence, ready to capture Jun Xie at any moment.
