The old man nodded: "You're right, I believe that's probably the case. I'll make a call right now."
The old man acted swiftly, immediately making several calls.
Although he had already retired, many of his subordinates, old friends, and circles of influence still existed, even Kang Chen may not match up to him.
After making five or six calls in a row, the old man finally understood what was going on.
"The old King is critically ill. Kang Chen had a sudden emergency this afternoon, and it's likely he was summoned to the palace. Besides him, there are others who were also summoned and none of them have returned yet."
Ming Mei asked the old man: "So... what does the Old King intend?"
The old man snorted: "Humph, what does he intend? Obviously, he's close to death and wants to establish the heir to the throne before he dies, possibly cornering Kang Chen and the others, forcing them to agree."
