Chapter 1390 Offended The Great PrinceShe walked into the passage and ran without turning back.
In the passage, there was indeed no one else around.
She was not afraid of the consort lying to her, as she absolutely intended to leave this place. Furthermore, she definitely believed that she would not be captured by Said. Otherwise, it would also be difficult for her if it was said that she gave up. Thus, it was either truly an escape route for her or it was a death trap.
Said was so perverted. What if he really destroyed everything he couldn’t have? Lin Che wondered if she was in hot water.
Thus, she might as well take the leap of faith and see what kind of path the consort gave her.
Sure enough, as she walked along the passage, she saw that it led to the outside.
It looked like the consort was still very honest. It was probably because it was too chauvinistic here, and women usually didn’t have a say in making decisions. Thus, she was not that scary. She was still very pure.
When she was out, she saw nobody around. This desolate path was a stark contrast to Dubai’s prosperity.
Lin Che immediately saw red lights all around. It looked like something really happened in the palace.
Lin Che sighed quietly and quickened her pace.

Meanwhile, at the palace.
When Said returned, he straight away went to look for Lin Che.
However, the attendants stared blankly. None of them could say where Lin Che was.
Said asked, “Where is she?”
His cold eyes scanned across, scaring the attendants.
“Great Prince…”
“Where is she? Don’t tell me that you don’t know either? What did I tell you? I told you to keep an eye on her!”
An attendant said, “Great Prince, you said to let her do whatever she wanted, so we…”
“Hmph. Take everyone out in this room.”
The attendants quickly exclaimed in fear. “Great Prince! Great Prince, we…”
Said stood there and stopped the last person. “Before she left, tell me everything you know. Who was the last person who saw her?”
“It… It’s Third Consort…”
Third Consort…
A few minutes later.
The door to Third Consort’s room opened.
The Third Consort, who was seated at her dressing table, immediately turned pale.
“Said…”
Said grabbed her by the neck and threw her onto the ground.
“You let Lin Che get away?”
The woman’s expression changed. She said painfully, “Said, you… You can’t do this to me. I bore two children for you.”
Said scoffed. “I can’t? If I can’t find Lin Che, get ready to leave the palace.”
“Said… Said…”
She collapsed on the ground as her face filled with tears. However, Said already walked out heartlessly. He did not turn back to look at her.
“Find her at all costs, but I don’t want a single scratch on her.”
He was indeed getting more and more interested in this woman!
And at that moment.
Outside, Lin Che overheard two people talking.
“I heard that the airport is already on lockdown. It seems like something has happened in the palace.”
“The airport is on lockdown? What now?”
“Everyone is stranded at the airport and no one is allowed to leave. Who knows how many people are stuck there.”
“Just what happened for things to be so serious?”
“Who knows? People are speculating if something has happened to the king.”
“Don’t tell me… there is a change in who is going to be the crown prince?”
“Haha, who knows? Doesn’t the Great Prince’s status justify his succession to the throne? However, it does not mean that the other princes don’t have a chance.”
Lin Che’s heart pumped. Did something really happen?
She had to find Gu Jingze immediately.
But where was he?
Lin Che first got a cab and rushed back to her own hotel.
But when she got to the hotel, she discovered that it was also on lockdown.
She did not dare to go near. She saw an onlooker at the side and asked, “May I know what has happened? I booked a reservation with this hotel. I can’t stay here anymore?”
“It seems like the Great Prince’s men have come to put this hotel on lockdown. Don’t stay there. People who go in cannot come out now.”
Said…
It looked like Said realized that she was gone.
“Ah. There were C Nation people staying in there. Do you know where they have gone?”
“C Nation people? Are you talking about that group of people? They’re probably at the airport. I heard that something happened and they had to go home, but now they can’t. The airport is on lockdown too.”
Thankfully, it looked like Said probably could not harm Gu Shiyuan.
But the moment there was trouble, Gu Shiyuan must have already been protected by her personal guards. Once Lin Che confirmed that the program group had already left, she quietly left the vicinity of the hotel and rushed to the airport.
However, Gu Shiyuan was probably not at the airport either. The security guards would not be silly enough to go to a place where she would be easily found. Now, the guards took priority on Gu Shiyuan’s safety. They would have probably taken her to somewhere she could not be found so easily.

Sure enough, Said’s men could not find them at the hotel. They headed straight to the airport.
It was chaotic at the airport.
The program group was trapped there and the people were getting antsy.
“What’s going on? Is there no sign from C Nation? Wouldn’t they send someone to communicate with us if we can’t head back?” Cheng Huanhuan exclaimed. This place was so messy and nobody could feel at ease here. It was as if something bad could happen at any time.
The program group could only comfort her. “We’ve already contacted the embassy, but they need time. There are so many C Nationals here too and they can’t give special treatment to you just because you’re a celebrity.”
Cheng Huanhuan felt that as a celebrity in everybody’s eyes, she was used to special treatment wherever she went.
But in a political event like this, who cared if you were a celebrity or not?
The program group was still anxious when they saw some people approach them.
Everyone saw the soldiers and thought that help had arrived.
They got up happily but soon realized that the person in front said, “Search for Lin Che.”
The soldiers heeded the order and began rummaging.
“Ah… What are you guys doing?”
“Let go. These are our things.”
“What are you doing? Is this a robbery?”
Everyone was screaming and shouting.
Although they did not know what was going on, they overheard bits and pieces from the conversation among some of them.
They said, “How are we going to answer to the Great Prince?”
“But Lin Che is not here.”
“We have no choice either. Continue searching but be careful. We can’t let any harm come to Miss Lin. We’d get into trouble.”
Everyone was even more puzzled.
“Gosh, the Great Prince sent people to search for Lin Che. What happened with Lin Che? Why are they so aggressively looking for her? Did she offend the Great Prince?”
