Guilt Trip

Li Chenyang knew that once the military takeover began, there would be no more looking back. It was now or never. The future of this country was his for the taking. The only thing that stood in their way of massacring the entire Royal family was Wen Jinkai. The man in question sat by the couch of the Duke's private study.

Wen Jinkai was uncertain about the purpose of this meeting. He had caught wind of an unsettling rumor that was most likely false. But when Wen Jinkai saw the expressions on Li Chenyang and Duke Li Shenyang's face, he knew things weren't looking good.

"Is anyone going to talk?" Wen Jinkai finally said. "Or are we going to sit around this table like it's a tea party?"

Li Chenyang pressed his lips together. The last time he had a thorough discussion with Wen Jinkai, things didn't turn out favorably. The mess he created that day would continue to remain unforgiven.
