Evening.

Wang Chen donned a black robe, put on a mask, altered his appearance, and became Song Yu, the head of a branch of the Ordinary Alliance, one of Mingdu's three major underground forces.

Over the past two years, he had used Song Yu's status as a high-ranking member of the Ordinary Alliance to abuse his power for personal gain, secretly subduing many criminals and thugs to work for him.

Wang Chen had always maintained one-way contact with these criminals. In other words, Wang Chen knew their information, but they knew nothing about his. This was to prevent anyone from following the trail back to him one day.

And that day had come!

Wang Chen had gone out to investigate during the day and discovered that the doctor who had treated Xu Tianran had been silenced. He immediately understood that Xu Tianran must have some unspeakable secret he could not let others know about. Otherwise, why would he kill the doctor who had treated him?

Through these criminals, Wang Chen would spread the news that Crown Prince Xu Tianran had not only lost the use of both legs in the assassination attempt, but had also lost his third leg.

After spreading this rumor, Wang Chen would cut off all contact with those criminals. He did not even intend to use the false identity of Song Yu, a high-ranking member of the Ordinary Alliance, again.

A smile curled at the corner of Wang Chen's lips.

As the saying went, rumors took only a mouth to spread, but refuting them could run a man ragged.

Once a rumor emerged, disproving it became exceedingly difficult.

Even if one produced evidence to prove one's innocence, people would only believe what they wanted to believe and would not care what the truth actually was.
