The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 790 - 376: Concealment (Four updates)

A portly middle-aged man entered the private room, dressed in a white chef’s coat, with a white hat on his head as well.

Xiao Wu looked at this unusual attire...

He said, it couldn’t possibly belong to the Empress.

The Emperor would be disappointed again.

When Xiao Wu glanced over, he didn’t see much disappointment on the Emperor’s face, who, like himself, seemed to be just examining the chef’s clothing.

"Honored guest, are you seeking me because there’s something unsatisfactory with the dish? We can replace it for you," said the chef in a friendly manner, with an amiable attitude. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Xiao Wu noticed it.

When it comes to An Ning’s enterprises, the service attitude is absolutely top-notch.

"This dish, where did you learn it from?" Xiao Jinxing asked.

The chef glanced at the plate and said, "Is it the shredded potatoes?"

It’s no wonder the chef wasn’t sure.

Mainly because his monarch really did eat every last shred.

"Mhm."

"It’s our family’s ancestral secret recipe, I don’t know if it suits your palate?"

"Your family’s ancestral secret recipe?"

"I apologize, honored guest, but I’m afraid I can’t disclose the specifics of the secret recipe," the chef said cautiously.

Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.

"Do you have any other inquiries?" asked the chef, seeing that he remained silent.

"Nothing else."

"Then I won’t disturb your meal any further."

"Mhm."

Xiao Jinxing made an acknowledging sound.

The chef left.

As the man walked away, Xiao Wu turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I told you it couldn’t possibly be..."

"Investigate this chef’s background, everything about his family, and clarify the secret of the shredded potatoes," Xiao Jinxing instructed.

"Yes," Xiao Wu responded respectfully.

Thinking to himself, can it really be that delicious?!

"I shall meet with the owner of An Ning’s establishment immediately, tomorrow morning at the latest. Should the owner be unwilling to meet me, I am prepared to visit in person," Xiao Jinxing said coldly.

The words that came out seemed to tremble with restrained emotion.

"Yes, I will arrange for someone to handle this at once."

Xiao Jinxing gazed down at the empty plate of shredded potatoes.

His Adam’s apple kept bobbing up and down.

Could there really... still be hope?!

...

Situated on the outskirts of Xuzhou City, a luxurious mansion.

An Ning hurriedly returned home, his steps noticeably urgent.

"Where are the young master and the young miss?" An Ning asked sternly.

"They are in their rooms," the maid quickly replied.

"Call them out, and have the steward pack the young master’s and young miss’s belongings, we’re preparing to leave this place," An Ning said.

"Yes."

Before long.

An Youyou, still sleepy, and An Luming, who was always quiet and well-behaved, appeared.

"Mommy, I was still asleep, why did you wake me up?" An Youyou grumbled dissatisfiedly.

An Luming was also curious.

And judging by his mother’s expression, it seemed there was something serious.

"You two, pack up immediately, I’m taking you to the summer resort," An Ning enunciated clearly.

"It’s not even summer yet, why should we go to the summer resort?" An Youyou complained, "I don’t want to, I want to play in the city."

"Mother, has something happened?" An Luming was obviously more sensible than An Youyou, his little face all seriousness.

An Ning, looking at An Luming’s face, grew even more unsettled.

An Luming furrowed his little brows.

Was Mother showing her aversion to his looks again?!

"I don’t know how to explain, but essentially, Mother’s enemy has suddenly come to Xuzhou City, and Mother can’t let him see either Mother or you, or there will be danger."

"Enemy?" An Youyou widened her eyes, "Does our family even have enemies? Are we that wealthy?! Didn’t Mother say that ninety percent of problems can be solved with money? And for the remaining ten percent, just use even more money."

"..." Sometimes, An Ning was at a loss for words with An Youyou. She patiently explained, "This person is wealthier than us."

"Aren’t we the wealthiest family in the entire country?" An Youyou grew even more puzzled.

Truly, An Ning felt like slapping An Youyou right across his cheek.

But she just couldn’t do it, as he looked too appealing.

She took a deep breath and said, "In any case, we can’t afford to provoke this person, we can only hide. Luming, I’ll have Uncle Zhang take you away. You look after your sister."

"Isn’t Mother coming with us?" An Luming was more concerned about his mother’s safety.

"Mother still has arrangements to make." An Ning’s eyes tightened.

Even the current Xiao Jinxing might not be able to recognize her; the only one she was worried about was An Luming. As for An Youyou, this little troublemaker who was good for nothing but causing problems, would naturally have to be taken away too.

"Will there be danger?" An Luming was anxious.

"Don’t worry, Mother doesn’t do things if she isn’t confident." An Ning patted An Luming’s little head.

Feeling somewhat reassured.

If not for An Luming’s face, her son could have been considered perfect.

Right at this moment.

The butler quickly approached An Ning, "Miss, we have packed the young master’s and the young miss’s stuff, and the carriage is ready. Should we send them away now?"

"Send them immediately to the summer resort." An Ning commanded.

"Yes."

An Youyou was unhappy, "Mommy, I have something to tell you, and you’re just sending me away."

"We’ll talk when you get back." An Ning was indifferent.

"No!" An Youyou was stubborn, "I want to tell you, I saw someone on the street today who looks exactly like my brother, a really handsome guy!"

"..." An Ning’s face turned a few shades paler.

"Really, you don’t believe me, I can take you to see him." An Youyou was resolute.

"An Youyou!" An Ning couldn’t help it, her voice raised.

An Youyou suddenly became quiet.

"Who allowed you to run out on your own?!"

"I, I, I..." An Youyou’s little face looked aggrieved, struggling to say a word.

"Luming, did you see him?" An Ning was more concerned about this.

"Sister told me to go, but I didn’t." An Luming quickly replied.

An Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her son was reliable.

She calmed down and said, "Don’t talk about anything now, just listen to Mother, go to the summer resort first, and when the coast is clear, Mother will come to get you."

"Okay." An Luming obediently nodded.

"Remember, don’t let anyone see your face, especially strangers." An Ning gave a worried admonition.

"..." Is his face really so ugly that it can’t be seen by others?

"Uncle Zhang, I’m entrusting them to you." An Ning entrusted.

"Do not worry, Miss." Uncle Zhang respectfully responded.

An Luming, pulling a displeased An Youyou, followed Uncle Zhang and left.

An Ning watched their departing figures, two little people; although they hadn’t been with her for long, they had always been by her side. Seeing them leave like this truly made her feel reluctant.

But she couldn’t leave with them.

After all, based on her understanding of Xiao Jinxing, the moment he noticed even a slight anomaly, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

And Xiao Jinxing was very good at noticing anomalies.

So without giving a clear explanation to Xiao Jinxing, he would not rest easy!

...

Guilai Inn.

Xiaowu reported, "Your Majesty, we’ve investigated the chef from Lingxiao Building. None of his family members are chefs, so there’s no secret recipe involved. To verify this, I even had his parents make a dish of shredded potatoes especially. The taste is completely different from what we had at Lingxiao Building."
