Chapter 630: Chapter 630: The Ruse of Self-Injury

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan was brought to the Liangjiang Marquis Manor.

Upon seeing the grand entrance of the Marquis manor, a wave of mixed emotions surged in Chen Xuan’s heart.

The last time he had been here was to attend the full-month banquet for Young Prince Lei Dong, and at that time, he had been a guest of honor, enjoying the happy company of the Liangjiang Marquis and his family.

But now, the two parties had become enemies, and he himself had become a prisoner at the Liangjiang Marquis Manor!

Ge Shan had been waiting at the door to greet him, "Our Marquis has been waiting for a long time in the main hall, Mr. Chen, please follow me inside!"

Chen Xuan stepped forward, following Ge Shan into the manor.

Upon entering the main hall, he saw Lei Tianzong sitting upright with a solemn expression.

"You all may leave," Lei Tianzong commanded.

Ge Shan hesitated for a moment, then promptly led the others out, leaving only Chen Xuan and Lei Tianzong in the room.

Before Chen Xuan could speak.

Thump!

Lei Tianzong unexpectedly knelt directly in front of Chen Xuan.

Stunned, Chen Xuan exclaimed, "Marquis, what are you doing..."

Lei Tianzong wore an expression of guilt, "Brother Chen, I owe you an apology! You are a great benefactor to our family, and now I have to act against your family. I, Lei Tianzong, am inhumane!!"

Chen Xuan sighed deeply.

To be honest, he could quite understand Lei Tianzong’s predicament at the moment.

Being a man of the Eastern King, bound by military orders, capturing his mother Xiao Yu and the others was a reluctant act on his part.

"Forget it, you had no choice. I can’t blame you for this," said Chen Xuan calmly.

"Now, my only hope is that you, Marquis, would allow my mother and the others to leave. Rest assured, the Eastern King wants me. I will stay here, willing to submit to the Emperor’s disposal!"

Lei Tianzong quickly said, "Brother Chen, you must know that the Emperor wants your life! If you are truly sent to the Eastern King, I fear the only path left is death!"

Chen Xuan’s expression was resolute, "What of that, if it can save my family? What does my life matter? Besides, all this is because of me. I should bear all the consequences!"

Lei Tianzong glanced around and lowered his voice, "Brother Chen, actually, I have a perfect plan that might work!"

Chen Xuan’s face showed surprise, and he hastily said, "Let’s hear it."

Lei Tianzong then leaned closer and whispered into Chen Xuan’s ear.

After hearing Lei Tianzong’s method, Chen Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows.

He then worriedly said, "Doing this, won’t it harm you?"

Lei Tianzong smiled faintly, "Brother Chen, you are a great benefactor to our family. Taking this risk for you is only right."

"Moreover, as long as the act is convincing enough, no one will suspect a thing!"

Chen Xuan was moved.

For his sake, Lei Tianzong was willing to risk such great peril. Such loyalty and righteousness deeply impressed Chen Xuan!

Chen Xuan bowed, "Great favors need no thanks; I, Chen Xuan, owe the Marquis a great debt of gratitude, and I will repay it with all my might in the future!"

Lei Tianzong gave a wry smile, "Brother Chen, you are too kind. I am merely repaying the great kindness you have shown."

"Enough of this for now. Let’s get you through this difficulty first!"

Ten minutes later, the doors of the main hall opened.

Lei Tianzong and Chen Xuan walked out of the room.

"Come, Chen Xuan has consented to submit to the law. Chain him up for me!" Lei Tianzong commanded directly.

"Yes!"

Several strong men approached and immediately bound Chen Xuan tightly with iron chains.

Chen Xuan, looking towards Lei Tianzong, shouted coldly, "Lei Tianzong, don’t forget what you promised me. As long as I agree to return with you to the Eastern King, you will release my family!"

Lei Tianzong snorted lightly and sneered, "Agree? When did I ever agree to you?"

"Let me tell you, you’d better obediently follow us back to the Dong Family first. After I hand you over to the Emperor, I’ll consider whether or not to spare your family!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was instantly enraged, jumping up and cursing at Lei Tianzong, "Lei Tianzong, you’re breaking your promise! You ungrateful rat!"

Lei Tianzong sneered, "Can’t be helped, who told you to offend our Eastern King, you should just accept your bad luck!"

"Lei Tianzong, you bastard!" Chen Xuan roared.

Lei Tianzong was too lazy to waste words, he waved his hand and commanded, "Alright, take him away, and escort him to the Eastern Royal Manor now!"

Immediately, Chen Xuan was put into a carriage, and Lei Tianzong personally followed the convoy, driving out of the marquis’ mansion.

Half an hour later, the Marquis’ Mansion dungeon.

Han Jingting, Xu Suzhen, and Xiaoyu were imprisoned here.

Outside the dungeon, a group of Marquis’ Mansion soldiers was responsible for guarding.

"Mama, I’m scared!" Xiaoyu huddled fearfully in Han Jingting’s arms, her face full of terror.

Han Jingting gently stroked Xiaoyu’s head, comforting her, "Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyu, Mom is here, Dad will come and rescue us soon!"

Xiaoyu’s tears still fell pitter-patter, "When will Dad come? I miss Daddy!"

"Soon! Very soon!" Han Jingting’s eyes were moist.

Xu Suzhen’s expression, on the other hand, was rather eerie, her spirit seemed to be in a trance, it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Here they come again! They won’t spare Xiao Xuan! They’re coming again..."

Xu Suzhen was muttering to herself.

Hearing this, Han Jingting couldn’t help but feel astonished, "Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean, ’they’re coming again’?"

Xu Suzhen lifted her head, just about to say something, when a scream came from outside.

What followed was a series of intense fighting noises.

The guarding soldiers at the door were immediately shocked and were about to rush out.

However, before they could even open the door, the prison door was kicked open, and a figure burst in.

Mo Tianxiong!

The soldiers reached for their weapons only to see Mo Tianxiong flash by, throwing several punches, and the soldiers were put down on the ground.

Actually, back in the Marquis’ Mansion’s hall, Chen Xuan had already contacted Mo Tianxiong and asked him to come rescue Han Jingting and the others.

The scene where Lei Tianzong and Chen Xuan were arguing was just a ruse for the onlookers.

This was a self-sacrificing scheme planned by Lei Tianzong!

"Miss Han, please follow me out quickly, Mr. Chen sent me!" Mo Tianxiong split open the cage with a palm strike.

"Where is Chen Xuan? Where is he now?" Han Jingting asked urgently.

Mo Tianxiong assured, "Miss Han, rest assured, Mr. Chen is now safe, and he will meet up with you all very soon!"

Meanwhile, on the road to the airport.

A convoy of over a dozen SUVs was lined up, speeding along the airport expressway.

In the middle vehicle of the convoy, a box truck, several armed soldiers sat outside a cage.

Inside the cage, Chen Xuan was bound in chains all over his body, resembling a silkworm encased in an iron cocoon.

Chen Xuan’s face was indifferent, his gaze was calm, but inside he was silently counting the time.

It had been half an hour since he left the Marquis’ Mansion.

If nothing unexpected had happened, Han Jingting should have been already rescued by Mo Tianxiong.

The opportunity to act, had arrived!
