Chapter 271 In-depth Analysis
Although Steve intentionally did not intervene at the first moment, he still sent out capable personnel to conduct an investigation later.
However, the recent investigation into Alex's obviously forged evidence has hit a dead end.
The witness who identified Qin Xinghe as a spy disappeared after Qin Xinghe was imprisoned in the Bastille, and no trace of him could be found again.
Steve knew very well that it must be Alex's doing. He must have changed the man's identity or simply killed him to silence him.
But he was helpless because Alex was also a prince with the right of inheritance and it was impossible for him to be directly interrogated by any royal agency.
Furthermore, Qin Xinghe’s life record is too simple, leaving many opportunities for exploitation.
On the other hand, if Alex really had someone do something bad to Qin Xinghe in prison, then he could still find a reason to make trouble.
But Alex did nothing, and Qin Xinghe seemed to be doing well in prison.
Therefore, Steve's original plan to rescue Qin Xinghe and then sell him to Mai Tornado of the "Slaying Blade Blood Shadow Army" as a favor now seems to be impossible.
What should I do? Steve rubbed his eyes hard and sighed.
He knew very well that the next moment would definitely be a critical one.
He guessed that someone would definitely deal with his father, King Macbeth.
And how should he break the ice with the Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army next?
Steve regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he should not have hesitated for so long.
Just as Steve was lost in thought, he heard the office door open slightly and someone walked in.
But Steve did not open his eyes to look, because he knew that the person who was qualified to enter his office without notifying must be his teacher, Mr. Minglang.
At the same time, he is the only one who walks without making any sound.
"What? Haven't you figured out what you did wrong yet?" Mr. Minglang's voice sounded in Steve's ears.
Steve shook his head, opened his eyes, and looked at the teacher standing in front of him.
There was no greeting or courtesy between them, because they were master and disciple who knew each other very well, now and in the future.

Mr. Minglang slowly walked to Steve's desk, sat down elegantly on a large and soft sofa, and said in a calm tone:
"You are sitting there in a daze, but you can't solve any problems that arise at the moment. Right now, Dennis and Alex may be laughing secretly in some corner."
Steve couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, then he stood up from the armchair, walked to the tea cabinet, brewed a cup of fragrant tea by himself, and handed it to the teacher respectfully, complaining at the same time:
"It seems that I really underestimated my two younger brothers. I didn't know when they had quietly joined forces."
Mr. Minglang took the tea, took a sip, and looked at me with a deep gaze:
"Although you are the first in line to the throne, the other two also have the right to inherit. As a prince with the right of succession, naturally someone will take the initiative to approach you."
"Can you believe that no one is working behind the scenes to make connections for them? This time, it's not that you underestimated them, but that they analyzed you too thoroughly."
Hearing this, Steve sat down again, but no longer in his previous lazy state. Instead, he sat upright, pretending to listen attentively.
Mr. Minglang seemed quite satisfied when he saw this, and continued calmly:
"You, your father, and your two younger brothers all have one thing in common, which can also be called the commonality of your family, that is, you all place too much emphasis on immediate benefits."
Mr. Minglang's attitude towards the royal family is obviously not so respectful. This attitude is completely different from his respectful attitude towards Emperor Macbeth.
"Do you know why McFlurry has remained silent and has not responded to your advances?" Mr. Minglang asked a question.
But Steve did not rush to answer. He knew his teacher's temper very well. At this moment, no matter he said anything or not, this mentor who had taught him for many years would definitely analyze the ins and outs of the matter to him in detail.
Sure enough, before Steve could say anything, Mr. Minglang continued to speak:
"Originally, you have been performing very well during this period. Through the engineer named Qin Xinghe, you have established a good relationship with the tree armor design department of the Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army. At the same time, McTwister has also shown goodwill to you."
"This move has caused several major families in the upper class that were originally planning to side with Dennis to return to neutrality. And our followers have become more confident in you."
However, Mr. Minglang's tone became unusually stern:
"But your short-sightedness and greed have directly shattered the bridge of trust that has just been established between you and McFlurry."
"When the engineer named Qin Xinghe was falsely arrested, Elizabeth was the first to send you the news. At that time, you should have done your best to rescue him!"
"However, you did not do so. You intended to use this incident to alienate McTwister and Dennis, and make the Blood Shadow Army no longer trust Dennis's command."
"That's what you were thinking, isn't it?"
At this moment, Mr. Minglang's tone could no longer be described as harsh, but rather as scolding.
The original look of disappointment in his eyes was gradually replaced by deep disappointment.
All this made Steve feel very uncomfortable.
He tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.

However, Mr. Minglang's analysis did not stop there:
"Have you ever thought deeply about who the news came from? It was Elizabeth! She is the second female member of the Blood Shadow Army."
"Ask yourself, when Elizabeth told you, would she have forgotten McFlurry? And how could McFlurry not know when you got the news? It's ridiculous that you are so self-righteous."
Mr. Minglang's voice gradually rose, and his tone became heavier. "Indeed, your delaying strategy did put Qin Xinghe in jail, which caused a rift between the Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army and the Second Prince."
"But what happened next? Dennis and Alex actually staged a double act in front of everyone. The two pretended to be mortal enemies, which only made McFlurry and Dennis get closer!"
"Why did you do this? You could have just let it go and made a mess of something that was beneficial to you. Have you ever thought that McFlurry would really do what you wanted?"
"Don't you understand? Who does the Blood Shadow Army belong to? It doesn't belong to you, nor to McFlurry, nor to Dennis or Alex. It is the supreme force controlled by His Majesty the Emperor Macbeth himself!"
"And this happened right under your father's nose. How do you expect McFlurry to make a decision? How could he openly agree with you? Your stupidity is truly astonishing."
Mr. Minglang’s scolding made Steve feel extremely uncomfortable, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Now, the design of the main tree armor of the Blood Shadow Army is at a critical moment, and Qin Xinghe, as an indispensable main engineer, has been thrown into the Bastille Prison. Just imagine, how can McFlurry not be depressed and angry?"
"How could he not want to rescue Qin Xinghe from prison? However, why did he choose to remain silent, and instead tried every means to suppress everyone's opposition internally and pretend that nothing had happened?"
"I tell you, all this is because of your own cleverness. Your inaction in those few hours has caused the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse, turning this incident into a tool for you and your two brothers to compete for the favor of the Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army."
"You watched Qin Xinghe being framed and imprisoned, but did nothing. When everything was settled and irreversible, you jumped out and confronted your two brothers, investigating this and that, doing useless work."
"Do you think this is interesting? Your little tricks are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. What do you want McFlurry to do? He can only remain silent. You, from someone who could have been the biggest winner, have become the biggest loser!"
After a thorough analysis, Steve was completely dejected.
What Mr. Minglang said was actually something he himself had already noticed.
However, due to the momentary impulse, a big mistake was made.
Now, the most important thing is how to save this extremely bad situation.
I believe that doing such a little trick in front of the Blood Shadow Army's commander Mai Tornado has caused his disgust.
Even if he was the chosen heir to the throne, he could not avoid being blamed.
