AUCTION HOUSE [2]

The crowd was in chaos and panic. Just what had happened and why the fourth prince suddenly collapse? There's nothing unusual with his physical appearance. Although his shoulder looks limp. But it wasn't anything that would cause him to faint.

Yuki who was looking at the fainted Ye Lin wasn't satisfied. She narrowed her eyes while looking at the fourth prince. When suddenly he woke up and started squirming and screaming again.

"aaargghhh!! Kill me, just kill me!! It really pains so badly." he pleaded while screaming. His lips are all bruise up from his biting, and even a little trick of blood was flowing.

The crowd was silent and in shock while looking at Ye Lin. What on earth is happening to him? Suddenly Ye Lin pulled a gun from a body guard near him. He wanted to blow his head to end the suffering he felt. Just as he pointed it in the side of his head. He pulled the trigger.

Click! Click! Click!

He looked at the .45 caliber in shock. It didn't work. He tried again and again but still in didn't shoot. He look at the body guard and his face showed angry and disbelief.

"why the fuck are you carrying a defective gun around." he shouted. He tried to suppress the pain he felt and shifted his frustrations to the bodyguard.

The man's face paled. He too couldn't understand why the gun didn't work. Although he wished to grab the gun back. But he was too stupefied from all of what's happening. Everything was too sudden and fast.

" I don't know why! Ease your anger fourth prince!" he kneeled and kowtowed several times.

"younger brother, why would you take on your own life just for a mere pain?" the crown prince asked with a puzzled look.

" you don't understand. I don't even understand. But I feel an extreme pain in my left arm." he looked at Ye Ruo with a pleading look. As if he's waiting for the help.

The pain was excruciating. It was as if someone had saw his bones using a blunt knife . He can't even explain to himself why his shoulder joints was broken and dislocated. He couldn't help himself but bawled.

"the doctor is here, make space and make way." the owner of auction house shouted to everyone. Ye Lin felt helpless and weak from the pain. When the doctor examined him for awhile. He shook his head and said.

"there's nothing wrong with you Your Highness the Fourth Prince." the doctor said sofly. But everyone heard it. They give Ye Lin a look. Was he just pretending to get some attention? Was the gun also a part of his tricks to deceive people?

Ye Lin lifted his head. He's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what the doctor said. To his surprise, the pain he felt suddenly gone and he can move his arms again like nothing happened. But the pain he felt still lingers.

"come again and examine me, there must be something wrong. It can't be nothing. I felt it." he again gestured the doctor to come closer and check him thoroughly. But again, he shook his head and gave him a look that there's really nothing.

"you're a quack! You are not qualified to be called a doctor!" Ye Lin shouted and pointed his angry finger to the doctor. Everyone was silent.

"Your Highness the Fouth Prince. Have you offended or have you mistreated anyone?" Yuki's voice suddenly echoed through the silent crowd. Everyone's gaze shifted to her.

"what do you mean?" Ye Lin looked puzzled.

" even if we are living in a modern world where everything is state of the art advance. We can't neglect ancient ways to make people suffer. This kind of things still exists." she explained while giving him a look of pity.

" are you trying to tell me someone do this on purpose and inflicted pain on me by ancient ways.?" he looked at her in disbelief. He thought for a moment who he had encountered. But he couldn't remember that he had any physical contact with anyone or that he had some fights outside.

He slowly looked at the crown prince. He brows furrowed. It can't be him. No one knows I'm the one who ordered those people to kill him. He was convinced that the crown prince don't have any means of extracting its revenge.

The crown prince who was looking at his younger brother notice that look he gave him. He gave him a faint smile.

'no!!! It can't be! He knows?!' Ye Lin's eyes widened. And shifted his look at Yuki. He dare not to say a word.

"younger brother. It seems that you have someone in your mind who can do this to you?" Ye Ruo asked. Giving the fourth prince a dangerous look.

"no, no, no, I never had offended or mistreated anyone." he shook his head, deliberately denying everything.
