Lin Mu had definitely not expected to meet the former crown prince here. He recognized the name as he had heard that a few times before. The last time he heard about a prince was from Tongguo Bing who had told him that the prince came to the Big Zhao's Heavenly Delicacies restaurant with the other young masters of the noble clans of the city.

"How did you become like this? If you're not the crown prince, who is now?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling shocked.

"The crown prince is none other than my second brother now." Shuang Zedong spoke.

"Second brother? You had a brother?" Lin Mu questioned.

"What! But the assassination of a prince would have been great news if it happened." Lin Mu said.
