Pang Dahai didn't really believe what Su Xi said, so before making a move, he decided to investigate secretly to ascertain the truth.
Having been in the capital for so many years, he naturally had some connections and resources. Although these resources couldn't be used for other matters, gathering information was quite easy.
Therefore, he now mobilized all his strength, wanting to know if what Su Xi said was true.
Through his multi-faceted inquiries, he finally confirmed that the Eighth Prince, Li Ge, was going out that day. However, this news was very well-kept, so not many people knew about it.
Having obtained the same information through different channels, Pang Dahai was already certain that the Eighth Prince was not present.
Since Li Ge was absent, it was the perfect time for him to act.
Therefore, he no longer hesitated and sneaked into the Eighth Prince's mansion, preparing to do something to prove his loyalty.
This time he had been tricked by Su Xi, so he had to regain Li Zhi's trust before he could get revenge.
Moreover, now that Li Ge was gone, the security of the entire Eighth Prince's mansion would surely be relaxed. Once that happened, it would give him an opportunity to act.
"Crack!"
Pang Dahai kicked open Li Ge's door, intending to use a留影符 (liú yǐng fú - memory recording talisman) to create a glorious image of himself.
However, before he could utter his line, "Take your life!", his eyeballs almost fell out, and his body stiffened on the spot, unsure of where to go.
Because Li Ge, who was supposed to have left, was sitting in his place, with a group of experts by his side, ready and waiting.
???
The situation before him made Pang Dahai feel as if thunderbolts were rolling through his mind.
He knew that although his strength was formidable, he was no match for so many people attacking him. If he were caught, it would surely implicate the Third Prince.
And with so many people here, it was clearly Li Ge setting a trap.
He wasn't here to cause trouble, but rather to walk into his own death.
Escaping now would clearly not be easy.
Li Ge was also incredulous. Seeing Pang Dahai's appearance, he was filled with confusion but quickly reacted.
The person who had secretly notified him was indeed very capable.
"Arthur, please have a seat!" Li Ge looked at the masked Pang Dahai and, instead of ordering his men to act, invited him to sit.
Pang Dahai, who thought he was doomed, was surprised by Li Ge's politeness and wondered if he had mistaken him for someone else.
However, unsure of Li Ge's intentions, he could only play along and sit down, preparing to adapt to the situation.
Seeing Pang Dahai's silence, Li Ge eagerly asked, "Where is your item? Give it to me quickly!"
The person who sent the letter had already said that Arthur would give him important information and reveal the mole. For his own safety, he couldn't wait.
Hearing Li Ge's words, Pang Dahai understood that Li Ge had mistaken him for someone else.
Therefore, his mind raced, and he chose to go along with the deception.
He looked at Li Ge and said, "I will give you the information you want, but I am here to inform you of something."
???
Li Ge was successfully intrigued and asked doubtfully, "What else do you want to say?"
Since the mysterious person had been correct many times, Li Ge naturally chose to listen. Moreover, since Pang Dahai chose to say something extra, it was worth hearing.
Pang Dahai knew this was his opportunity. If he could seize it, he could not only escape but also deal with those he disliked.
Therefore, the problem had to be resolved.
After adjusting himself, Pang Dahai said, "The most important thing now is that there is a mole by your side, and you must eliminate them."
???
Hearing Pang Dahai's words, Li Ge's spirits immediately soared.
The most pressing concern in his heart was who was by his side.
Pang Dahai saw that he had captured Li Ge's attention and then said, "And do you know who trespassed into your territory that day?"
"Who?" Li Ge asked eagerly.
He had sent out many people in the past few days, trying to find out who had raided his home. But those sent out had returned with no news, which had made him unable to sleep well for many days.
After all, he didn't know when that person might appear again or when they might strike.
Anyone who could appear in his mansion so silently and undetected could also easily take his life.
Seeing this scene, Pang Dahai's eyes gleamed, and he said in a low voice, "They are in the inconspicuous courtyard next to yours. If you send people now, you can catch them."
"As for who sent them, if you interrogate them properly, you will surely get the truth."
Li Ge's spirits were instantly lifted upon hearing Pang Dahai's words. It was exactly right.
Since he was sure that the other party was not lying, he hurriedly ordered his men to act.
After finishing this, Li Ge turned to Pang Dahai and continued to press, "Who is the mole by my side?"
If this mole issue wasn't resolved, he couldn't rest easy.
Hearing Li Ge's question, Pang Dahai felt a pang of distress.
He was only here to kill, how would he know who the mole was?
However, at this point, he couldn't possibly say he didn't know. Otherwise, he would be the one losing his life later.
So, to help the Third Prince bear less burden, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Bring me a pen."
Li Ge nodded, and someone quickly brought the items.
Without hesitation, Pang Dahai picked up the pen and wrote down the name of the most important person by Li Ge's side.
After finishing writing, Pang Dahai said, "I'm done. I'll be leaving now."
With that, Pang Dahai turned and left the scene.
He was very worried that if he stayed any longer, he might be exposed.
Therefore, for his own safety, the most important thing was to leave this place quickly.
After Pang Dahai left, Li Ge picked up the paper and looked at it.
For him, the most important thing now was to resolve the current problem.
But upon seeing what was written on the paper, his face was filled with shock.
On the paper was written the name of his greatest supporter, the Imperial Tutor, Wei Anzhi.
How could this be?
Li Ge couldn't quite believe it, but the person had spoken so confidently that he couldn't help but believe him.
However, Wei Anzhi had always been by his side and helped him with various matters. How could he have ulterior motives?
Now, he couldn't pursue the truth of the matter. He just wanted to find an opportunity to catch the person who had raided his home.
Su Xi knew that Pang Dahai wouldn't let her off easily, so she had already left her previous location.
She was not in the courtyard at the moment, but rather in the Third Prince's mansion.
Li Zhi, standing beside her, felt like he was about to explode upon seeing Pang Dahai's actions in the video.
He never expected that someone he had once trusted the most would do such a thing.
Damn it, how could he tolerate this?
A traitor deserves a terrible death!
Wei Anzhi was someone he had placed next to Li Ge, and now Pang Dahai had actually revealed him.
Su Xi, seeing all this, said, "Your Highness, you should know now that what I said wasn't false, right?"
Li Zhi nodded, his face looking somewhat grim. Although he didn't want to admit it, Su Xi was indeed correct.
What was before him was real; he had seen it all with his own eyes.
As Su Xi and Li Zhi were discussing how to deal with Pang Dahai, Pang Dahai returned from outside, looking smug.
After all, he had narrowly escaped death and solved a major problem, so how could he not be happy?
Upon entering, Pang Dahai's expression froze when he saw Su Xi and Li Zhi standing together. However, he quickly said, "Your Highness, I have something important to tell you."
"Oh? What is it?" Li Zhi looked at Pang Dahai with a half-smile, waiting for his reply.
Pang Dahai was taken aback by Li Zhi's reaction, finding him sarcastic. However, he didn't think too much of it.
After all, the most important thing for him now was to tell Li Zhi that Su Xi was not a good person. Other issues could be dealt with after Su Xi was dealt with.
After all, if it weren't for Su Xi, he would have almost lost his life.
Therefore, he recounted what had happened and began to emphasize that Su Xi was not a good person.
Li Zhi nodded and said, "I already know about this. You've worked hard for so long. Have some water first."
With that, Li Zhi poured Pang Dahai a cup of tea.
Pang Dahai, having just gone through such a thrilling experience, was feeling thirsty. So, without thinking much, he picked up the teacup and drank.
After finishing the tea, he let out a long sigh.
He wanted to continue speaking but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been bitten by tens of thousands of insects. It was agonizing and helpless.
His chest felt tight, his heart palpitated, and his head buzzed.
"Your Highness?" Pang Dahai looked at Li Zhi before him in disbelief, unable to understand why he would poison him.
Everything had been fine, but then something went wrong here.
Li Zhi snorted, "Do you think I wouldn't know if you did this?"
"I'm telling you, I know everything between you and the Eighth Brother. Do you really think I'm an idiot, to do such a thing and then try to deceive me." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Su Xi looked at the situation before her, blinking innocently. She had given Pang Dahai a chance, but since he didn't cherish it, she couldn't blame her.
Moreover, she hadn't personally done it, so he couldn't blame her either.
Pang Dahai looked at Li Zhi innocently, his eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
He had been loyal, and no matter what Li Zhi wanted to do, he had always been willing to help without hesitation.
But now, his loyalty only brought him such an end.
A flash of regret and remorse crossed his eyes.
If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would never have done it. If he hadn't doted on Li Zhi so much in his youth, his current predicament wouldn't be so miserable.
"Your Highness, I have something I want to tell you now." Pang Dahai's eyes were teary, and his voice was very low, clearly deeply hurt.
Hearing Pang Dahai's words, Li Zhi nodded, "I'll give you this chance to speak."
Since Pang Dahai had already been poisoned and was dying, giving him a little time was certainly possible.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Pang Dahai said, and blood began to flow from his mouth.
