<h4>Chapter 526 Got you.</h4>


    When Xing Bengt heard from the yamen, he was so shocked that his world started to swing around. At first, he was confused as to why things became like this, though it was true that he and his family used substandard wood in their furniture but that was only for the poor! The one who had no connections and no authority as for the high officials, the wood that they used has always been fine so how can the bed that was sent to the Huo family be substandard? There was no possibility of something like this happening unless someone tried to make things difficult for him deliberately.


    Xing Bengt was furious, he was the young master of the Xing family and never before did he run into any hard wall before but this man named Lin Chen not only turned out to be a hard wall but he was also a damn hard wall to crack! He used so many schemes and ns to make sure that this matter was never traced back to him, he even sent that servant who was responsible for seducing the girl and mixing that slow-acting poison in the perfumes. But Lin Chen actually tracked that servant boy down and even linked the matter to him.


    Now, what was he supposed to do? Xing Bengt nervously paced around his room. He wanted to get out of this mess as soon as possible, the official named Huo Ci was already proving enough trouble as it was. He was actually pursuing the matter to the point where he was demanding their family to be given a death sentence! He was still young only twenty-five and he was facing a death charge, if the matter of causing harm to those young mistresses was also linked down to him then he wouldn''t be able to save his neck no matter how hard he tried to il his legs and hands! He will be dead no matter what! At least right now his family still had a chance to turn the tides around but if Lin Chen really dragged him down in this case then he wouldn''t be able to say '' I didn''t'' before he would be dragged to the beheading ground.


    That Huo Ci was watching their family like a hawk if they made even the slightest mistake,l he would chomp down their necks until neither of them would be able to get out of this...Xing Bengt nibbled on his nails. What should he do? Should he run away? But how was he supposed to run away? Even their house was being guarded by that Huo Ci''s soldiers!


    " Young master the Yamen officers are asking you to hurry up." One of the servants who were responsible for helping Xing Bengt hurried over to his room and called him. The servants were really scared, this time, it was not just a small matter that could be swept under the rug, if they weren''t careful enough, they too would be dragged by their masters! Yamen officers visiting their house twice in just a week! Was this a f*cking joke? Of course, it wasn''t!


    If Xing Bengt ran away, then he would be the one the Yamen officers would be dragged to the prison! In the end, even though the helper boy was scared of Xing Bengt, he still tried to make Xing Bengt hurry.


    " I know!" snapped Xing Bengt. He was feeling more and more irritable ever since his family was caught in this mess and what was more he couldn''t help but feel that the servants of his house were now looking at him with questioning gazes. Those side-eye looks and the haunting whispers — they were annoying the heck out of him and now this!


    Though Xing Bengt was angry, he could only rush out of his room and take the carriage to the yamen with the officers who were with him.


    When he arrived at the building of Yamen, he hurried inside and sure enough, he saw Xiao Wu kneeling on the ground. His heart swelled with even more anger, he has given so much money to this man- he just needed to return home and do absolutely nothing yet this stupid fool!


    Xiao Wu could sense that his young master was angry and immediately shrank his neck. It wasn''t as if he was dancing in front of these men and got caught, so why was his young master getting angry at him? If only he didn''t offend these men then would something like this happen?


    However, no matter what Xiao Wu was thinking in his head, he didn''t say anything. At the moment he decided to see things clearly before he decided on something—


    Xing Bengt didn''t know that Xiao Wu was actually nning something in his cunning head, instead, he stered a ttering smile on his face and approached the Yamen head who was looking grim. " Good day, my lord. How did you remember this servant of yours?"


    The Yamen head nced at Xing Bengt and then nced at Lord Fei who was calmly sipping his tea. At first, he wanted to smooth things over for Xing Bengt after all he was the son of his friend but after watching Lord Fei''s stance it was clear, that he wasn''t here to negotiate but instead he was here to deliver the final blow to the Xing family''s coffin.


    " Young master, Xing. The matter is like this- the Lin family is here to file aint against your shop''s servant. ording to them, this servant deliberately tried to harm their shop''s prestige and their customers. What''s your stance on this matter, would you like to rify what''s going on here?"


    What stance can Xing Bengt have other than refusing? " My lord, How am I supposed to know why this servant dared to do such a thing? He was the one who was responsible then shouldn''t you ask him why he did that? After all what feud do I have with Brother Lin and his family? His shop isn''t in the same business as mine!"


    When he said this, Xing Bengt warningly red at Xiao Wu, asking him not to open his beak.


    " You.. da.. my dear lord Xing, how can you say something like that so carelessly?" Lin Chen was furious when he saw that Xing Bengt has refused to have any rtions with the matter. He wanted to scold Xing Bengt and his seven generations before threatening him to say the truth but then his waist was harshly pinched by Su Wan who was standing beside him, yeah- how can he forget the n? They were supposed to act like victims here, what kind of victims cursed and threaten their culprit? So, he could only simmer his voice down and smile gently as he continued, " Your servant boy confessed that it was you who ordered him to do that, In fact, even I wanted to know how exactly did I offend you, I am just a small shopkeeper in the town. And I haven''t even met you before this, so why did you scheme against me like this?"


    While he was saying this, he even pulled a pitiful expression as he looked at Xing Bengt who was turning blue from anger. How did he offend him? How can he not offend him after doing what he did! Not only did he snatch his woman from him but he also called out to his dignity as a man! How can he suffer such an offence silently? However, Xing Bengt couldn''t mention the incident that caused him to go against Lin Chen, so he could only stifle his anger as he said, " That''s what I said, I don''t even know you, young master Lin. S, why will I go against you? It must be the servant''s fault— maybe he was offended by something that you did or said, I can assure you that I did not ask this man to do any harm to you."


    '' Got you'' snickered Lin Chen inwardly, before Xing Bengt''s arrival the Yamen officers have already told Xiao Wu that if he was proven guilty that he would be sentenced to death but if he was ordered by someone then he would only get life imprisonment.
