The room was quiet.
After the Eldest Prince spoke, the silence in the room deepened.
Shen Bai, who had been pouring tea, froze. His gaze fixed on the Eldest Prince, and his tone turned incredibly grim, like a cold wind in the dead of winter.
"Your Highness just said something has happened to Zhou Qing. I didn't mishear you, did I?" Shen Bai asked.
The Eldest Prince felt the sinister killing intent radiating from Shen Bai. He nodded and said, "Lord Shen, please calm yourself. Don't get agitated. There's still room to resolve this matter. It's not a completely hopeless situation."
"Something happened? A hopeless situation? Your Highness, tell me in detail. What exactly happened?"
Shen Bai set the teapot aside and spoke slowly.
"Zhou Qing and I are the closest of friends, having come from Anding County together. I don't have many friends in this world, and Zhou Qing is one of my most important brothers."
"I'd like to see who would dare put him in a hopeless situation."
