Chapter 283 - chapter 282

As Alex watched Yu Xuan approach, his mind raced. He knew that Yu Xuan was a dangerous man, a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

He had to be careful, he had to be alert. He knew that his life was in danger.

Wu Xiufan, sensing Alex's unease, reached out and took his hand. "It's okay," he whispered in Alex's ear. "I'm here."

Alex nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that he could rely on Wu Xiufan, that he would protect him.

As Yu Xuan continued to talk, Alex's mind raced. He had to be careful, he had to be alert. He knew that his life was in danger.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation. It was the Queen Consort, her eyes filled with concern. "Yu Xuan, you should greet your brother," she said, her voice gentle but firm.

Yu Xuan turned to Alex, a forced smile on his face. "Brother," he said, his voice dripping with fake sincerity.

Alex nodded, his eyes cold and dismissive. He knew that Yu Xuan was up to something, that he was plotting his revenge.

The Queen Consort, sensing the tension between the two brothers, quickly changed the subject. She began to talk about the banquet, the food, the entertainment.

Alex, grateful for the distraction, focused on the conversation. He knew that he had to be careful, he had to be alert. He knew that his life was in danger.

As the evening wore on, Alex continued to watch Yu Xuan. He knew that his former tormentor was up to something, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Finally, as the guests began to leave, Alex turned to Wu Xiufan. "I need to talk to you," he said, his voice filled with a mixture of fear and determination.

Wu Xiufan nodded, his eyes filled with concern. "Of course," he replied.

They left the banquet hall, making their way to a quiet corner of the palace.

"I think Yu Xuan is up to something," Alex said, his voice barely a whisper.

Wu Xiufan nodded, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear. He knew that Yu Xuan was a dangerous man, a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

"We have to be careful," he said. "He's a threat."

Alex nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that he had to be alert, he had to be ready.

The city, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath the surface, continued its daily routine. But for Alex, the battle had just begun. He had exposed Yu Xuan's deception, and now he had to face the consequences.

The city, once shrouded in darkness, was beginning to brighten. The accident, the attempted sabotage, had left a lasting impression, but it had also brought people together. The city, once divided by class and status, was slowly uniting.

And as the days turned into weeks, the city moved forward, its spirit unbroken, its resilience unwavering. The darkness had been defeated, the light of hope shining brightly.

As Alex and Wu Xiufan stood in the quiet corner of the palace, their conversation was interrupted by a sudden commotion. A group of guards burst into the room, their weapons drawn.

"You're under arrest," one of the guards said, his voice filled with authority.

Alex and Wu Xiufan looked at each other in shock. They had been betrayed, set up.

The guards moved in, their hands reaching for their weapons. Alex and Wu Xiufan knew that they had no choice but to fight.

The battle was swift and brutal. Alex and Wu Xiufan fought with all their might, their lives on the line. But they were outnumbered, outmatched.

In the end, they were subdued, their hands bound behind their backs. The guards led them away, their future uncertain.
