"Don't worry. I'll keep the secret for you. But you'd better not to bring trouble on yourself. I won't save you any longer." Ye Lanyu smiles.
As is planned by Ye Tianxue, Li Heming ate his poison and made a show of himself in public yesterday. He was injured in the arm and didn't wake up until today morning.
When Li Buqi came back from Ye Tianxue's home, he asks his son who poisoned him?
Li Heming complains:" I have no idea." But suddenly he realizes:" It must be the guy of Yes. The waiter who poisoned me must have escaped to the north of city to seek help from Yes." What he said is similar to what Li Buqi suspects. Li Buqi signs and seems to make a decision. He comforts his son:" I know you are aggrieved. But do not revenge them these days. I'll go to the headquater of our family to discuss about the solution. You just stay at home to manage the business."
Li Heming isn't reconciled:" But I have to explain for the affair yesterday."
"All right." Says Li Buqi. He quickly returns to his room to prepare for the trip tomorrow.
Then Li Heming goes to the stage in the city center. Because it happened in the afternoon, when there are many people in the street. Nearly all the citizens know about his affair.
Li Heming gets on the stage and shouts to the crowds:" Come Back. I have something to say."
All the people come to the stage with interest. And Li Heming continues in a hoarse voice:" Please don't mention to my father about the affair yesterday. And someone put the poison in my dishes. I've got the portrait of the suspect. The one who helps me to find him will get a well pay." Then he sticks the waiter's portrait on the bulletin board.
The crowds are not surprised because many of them have guessed the reason already. They leave the stage gradually and continue the gossip about Li Heming.
Li Heming has to saunter on the street. He hears someone is selling in a familiar voice: " The fresh, sweet oranges are on sale. Anyone who buys it is promised to be richer and richer."
Li Heming turns back and finds it is his enemy, Ye Tianxue. But Ye is a little different. He wears blind sunglasses.
Li Heming becomes angrier to meet him. But he still remembers what his father said in the morning. So he forces back his angry and ignores Ye to go ahead.
Ye Tianxue is puzzled about the reaction of Li Heming. He thought Li would be extremely angry and have a quarrel with him. But Li didn't. And Ye never expects that Li harbors unkind thoughts.
"Well," Ye Tianxue continues to provoke Li Heming to anger:" People with any sickness will be restored once eating my orange. Even the son of castellan is ok. One fen each. Don't miss the chance!"
Li Heming cannot bear any longer:" Shut up!"
But Ye Tianxue doesn't notice Li's reaction and continues to sell. Li Heming is extremely angry and run toward Ye directly, only to be stopped by several strong men.
Li Heming doesn't give up. He shouts to Ye indignantly:" Shut up right now. Let's have a fight."
"Who is that?" asks Ye Tianxue.
One of the strong man answers:" He is the son of castellan."
Ye Tianxue stands up and says to Li:" I cried a lot and cannot see things clearly. Is there something wrong with your eyes, too? By the way, I hurt the son of castellan recently. He cannot come here to make trouble." Then he turn to those strong men:" Hit him. Hit him until he dies!"
The strong men are hesitant. It's true that Ye Lanyu asked them to protect Ye Tianxue and to do anything he tells them. But the man they should hit is the real son of castellan, not a fake. The consequences must be too ghastly to contemplate if they displease castellan.
Having hesitated for a moment, one of the men decide to obey Ye Tianxue's order and the rest all follow him. It's undoubtedly that Li Heming was hurt badly again.
Someone who gets along well with castellan saw such a situation and hurried to tell castellan about this. Li Buqi leads a group of soldiers there at once. Finally he succeeds to stop the strong men before they hit his son to death.
"Why do you hit my son again?" Li Buqi picks up his son and shouted at Ye Tianxue. However, Ye Tianxue pretends to be innocent:" He is a fake. And I'm just punishing him. Though Li Heming is on bad term with me recently, I hate the guy who disguises himself as him and alienates us." Then Ye pretends to be puzzled:" Why did you come here? There is none of your business, unless it's you who asked him to come after me!"
