Jiang Yuanzheng had never imagined, even in his dreams, that a perfectly good negotiation would spiral into this.
He didn't understand.
He couldn't make sense of it.
He couldn't sort out the sequence of events.
How had things turned out like this?
By all rights, even if the talks had fallen apart, even if the Bai Family had come out to stir up trouble and everyone ended up having a huge fight, at worst, under the ancestors' protection, he would have taken Lu Chengwen and the other two back home to look for another opportunity. That should have been all!
How had they ended up being thrown into prison?!
This was so fucking absurd that absurdity had opened the door for absurdity—it was absurd all the way home.
What the hell was going on with Long Aotian?
No! Long Aotian absolutely didn't have the guts for that. Nor could he possibly be stupid enough to snatch someone's woman, steal someone's treasure, and injure their people in the Tianwu Territory.
That made no fucking sense at all!
Where had it gone wrong?
The Bai Family! It had to be the Bai Family!
The Bai Family had resisted this cooperation from the very beginning. They were Tianwu's hawks, the pro-war faction. Naturally, they didn't want to see the two sides negotiate cooperation and coexist peacefully in the future.
They had to be the ones who pulled something!
Damn it!

"Cut the crap."
"I'll put up with you this one time!"
Smack!
"Get in there."
"You just wait!"
Jiang Yuanzheng sat on the prison bed and looked at Zhao Ritian.
