Lei Wanxi cried out as he fell on the floor. He heard the clanking of swords and opened his eyes. The man who earlier ate the noodles from his bowl was doing a sword fight with the man in white robes. Duan Xie came to Lei Wanxi and helped him in standing up when two men came towards them to attack them.
Duan Xie swiftly pushed Lei Wanxi behind him, preventing him from the attack, and also dodged the attack from the man. "Wanxi, leave!" Duan Xie stated. Lei Wanxi, without wasting any second, turned left to leave the Fun House when he was attacked with a spear.
"Ahh," he screamed and brought his hands up when a high-pitched clanking was heard. The same man with a bamboo conical hat defended him. Chaos had created and everyone started running out of the Fun House because tens of unidentifiable men had entered the place. All had worn black clothes and had covered their faces.
Lei Wanxi was befuddled, thinking from where so many goons entered the capital. But before that, he was worried about his safety as well. How to run when the goons had surrounded them? He stood near a pillar and let Duan Xie fight those goons.
"I am the Prince so, you all should stop else-" he stopped speaking and felt a sword on his neck. "Keep Quiet. Do not lie about your identity. We have seen people calling themselves Prince," the man hoarsely said who had caught Lei Wanxi as a hostage.
"Stop you two!" The man shouted, looking at Duan Xie and the man in a conical hat. "Drop your swords if you" He tightly pressed his fingers on Lei Wanxi's shoulder and continued, "do not want this friend to die."
"D-do not do anything," Lei Wanxi requested, the beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He brought his hand closer to the sword's blade and tried pushing it aside when the man shouted at him.
"Drop your swords if you do not want him to die," the man again shouted.
"He is the Sixth Prince so, you shall not do any harm to him," asserted Duan Xie.
"Yes, I am the Sixth Prince. Wait, let me show your royal seal," Lei Wanxi proclaimed and put his hand inside the pocket, but nothing was there. He widened his eyes and checked in the other pocket. He recalled he left the seal in the chamber as he was in a hurry.
"I forgot to bring m-my seal," he gulped but did not lose his confidence. "But I am the Sixth Prince, Lei Wanxi. Look at my clothes. These are made of the rarest silk which is available to the Emperor's family only."
"Keep your mouth shut! Don't say a single word. We know you are protecting this guy from us," the man said, looking at the man with a conical hat.
"I do not know him. He came to us and sat beside me. Leave me else your end will be bad. If my Elder Brother, who is the Crown Prince found out about this then it will be an end for you," Lei Wanxi threatened the man who was still holding the sword on his neck.
"They have nothing to do with me. Leave them," finally the man in a conical hat voiced. Lei Wanxi smiled and at the same time was relieved, but then the man caught his arm. He started dragging Lei Wanxi along with him.
"Bring them to the forest side before the police come here," the man ordered his goons. He did not believe that Lei Wanxi was indeed a Prince. The Sixth Prince kept urging him to leave, but it was in vain. Since the Fun House location is far from the Capital's Police Bureau, the police could not reach them in time.
They were brought to an isolated place, surrounded by forest. "I do not know him. Leave me," Lei Wanxi kept struggling to get the release from the unknown man's grip. He was pushed to the ground, his hands got injured.
"Prince," Duan Xie worriedly shouted. But his hands were tied too. He did not bring his Seal with him so, acting stupidly could have cost him the life of Lei Wanxi.
"You despicable woman! How dare you cheat us!" The man shouted at her. Lei Wanxi and Duan Xie were shocked to learn the truth that the man was actually a woman.
"Leave them. They are not associated with me." The woman opened the knot of the conical hat and took it off her head. Her hair spread down till her waist as the hat was removed. She glanced at Lei Wanxi, who was lying on the floor, and then looked at the man who was standing in front of him.
"Since you are so reluctant to not give up on the illegal activities, then I think I have to kill you right now," the woman pronounced. She had a hairpin in her hand, which she took off while removing the hat and threw it at the man, whose reflex could not act in time. The hairpin pierced through his neck, making him momentarily vulnerable, and he fell to the ground.
Before the goons could understand, the woman attacked them ferociously. Duan Xie was also freed, and he fought with the goons, killing two among them. All the goons were killed in the fierce fight. Duan Xie picked Lie Wanxi from the ground, examining him to see if he was fine.
Oppositely, the woman went towards the leader of the goons and pulled him up by the robes. "I told you not to come behind me. If you had stopped selling the poor children at the beginning when I warned you then, it would not have happened," the woman pronounced and turned her gaze towards Duan Xie.
"You are good at fighting. Thank you for today. Could you please tell me where the Police Bureau is?" The woman asked.
"I'm an officer in the Police Bureau. I will show you the way, Miss," Duan Xie was ready to help.
Lei Wanxi clenched his fist tightly. He never got annoyed with any woman except Weng Wei in his life until today. Because of her, his life came at stake. He could have died because of her. "You did not do right by involving me in all this. I will ask for the punishment from my father to punish you both," Lei Wanxi said furiously.
