Chapter 141: Chapter 141 The Heart of the Empress_1

The Empress, without anger, exuded an inherent majesty. An invisible, powerful suppression enveloped everyone around.

The oppression seemed to suck away all the air around Shadow Six, nearly suffocating her!

"It’s... It’s Master Li Muyun."

"Oh?" The Empress put down her spoon, and with a slight lift of her delicate hand, the box in Shadow One’s hand and the suitcase belonging to Shadow Six opened simultaneously, presenting a glowing jade bracelet and an indistinguishable-material Luo skirt.

"A Ling Yao Flowing Fairy Skirt?" Although the Empress’s face remained as calm as an ancient well, her slightly trembling enchanting eyelashes betrayed her inner turmoil.

The Empress turned to Wu Qiuyue and said, "Qiuyue, you have followed me for many years. When have you ever forgotten my preferences?"

"Empress, forgive me, your servant just thought..."

"Enough." The Empress reached out and grabbed the glowing jade bracelet from the rosewood box, and it flew into her hand.

After examining it in her palm for a moment, the Empress subtly parted her lips, "Qiuyue, extend your hand."

Wu Qiuyue slowly extended her hand, anxiously expecting the Empress to break her arm as she had done before, but to her absolute shock, the Empress slipped the priceless jade bracelet onto her wrist.

"Your servant, your..."

Wu Qiuyue found herself at a loss for words!

"Next time, do not presume to guess my intentions." The Empress rose slowly, approaching Shadow Six, "So, you clashed with Li Muyun this time? And then Li Muyun killed four of my Shadow Guards?"

"No, no, no!" Shadow Six, being younger, forgot to mind her status in her urgency, hurriedly interjecting, "It’s not like that! Master Li helped us! If not for him, I’m afraid neither I nor Shadow One could have returned to report back!"

With that, Shadow Six hastily recounted everything that had happened in the ancient tomb to the Empress.

After hearing all this, the Empress smiled indifferently, saying nothing as she slowly exited the dining area.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, its splendid golden rays casting over the Empress. In that moment, she smiled, but her true feelings remained known to none...

A week later, in Yuhang City, at Jiangzhe University, in the male dormitory.

"I’m back!"

You kicked open the door of the dorm room, your face beaming with a smile, expecting a warm welcoming from your friends, only to find the large dorm room empty.

Huh?

Where is everyone?

"Little cosmos, grow quickly, I need to become stronger!"

While wondering, you heard Yang Kai’s wail-like singing from the bathroom.

You pushed the bathroom door open and peeked inside—oh dear!

There was Yang Kai lathering up shower gel, singing "little cosmos, grow quickly" to his nether regions.

That scene, tsk tsk tsk...

"Old Shu, when did you get back? Why didn’t you tell the brothers, so we could prepare and celebrate your return?"

Yang Kai continued to scrub his private area with a towel as he walked out of the bathroom, completely bare.

You set down your backpack and luggage with a touch of bemusement and asked, "Where are Glasses and Black Bull? I haven’t seen them."

"Oh, they were dragged off by Officer Xian for some manual labor."

"Which Officer Xian?" you asked casually.

"Who else, that one who claims to be your wife-to-be."

"What!?" You shot up in alarm!

"Bang!"

Hisss—

Ouch ouch ouch ouch!

Because you rose up too abruptly, your head hit the underside of the top bunk, and you turned to Yang Kai with a look of astonishment, clutching your head, "Who said she’s my wife-to-be?"

Yang Kai shrugged, "She admitted it herself."

Grinning, the guy leaned in close, sporting a cheeky, ambiguous expression, "Hey, hey, I’ve suddenly noticed you’re racking up quite the reputation for being a ladies’ man, eh?"

"Piss off! I’m as pure as the driven snow, where are these stories coming from!"

This crazy woman!

You immediately grabbed your phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered, "You’re back?"

"Yeah, I’m back, and listen, you can mess with food all you want but don’t go spouting nonsense! Since when did I become your..."

"Enough of the chit-chat, since you’re back, things will be much easier to handle." Then, Xian Qianling gave you an address and instructed you to get there as soon as possible.

"Hey, I..."

"Click."

She hung up.

Ha—

You were speechless, utterly speechless. This crazy woman would stop at nothing to solve a case!

Although you really didn’t want to go, the thought of that crazy woman’s tactics sent a shiver down your spine. Plus, her family was part of the privileged class, and we’re just ordinary folks. Alas, you had no choice but to go.

Should you take the bus, or maybe a bus?

Just as you had stepped out of the university gates, waiting for the bus at the stop, your phone vibrated. Opening it, you found a message from Xian Qianling: "You have ten minutes to get here. If you take the bus, I promise you’re in for an extremely memorable evening."

Gulp—

Swallowing hard, you dashed into the road and hailed a cab, heading straight for the crime scene.

When you opened the taxi door, you recognized the place. At that moment, Zhang Zifeng, with a cigarette in his mouth, came walking out, squatting by the door, taking deep and shallow drags.

You approached Zhang Zifeng and asked, "Officer Zhang, you’ve got some serious bags under your eyes. What’s up, didn’t sleep well?"

Zhang Zifeng looked up and upon seeing you he sighed deeply, "How could I possibly have slept well? We’ve got pressure from above to solve this case within a week, and it’s already the fourth day with no progress. You go on in, Captain Xian is waiting for you. I need a cigarette to calm my nerves; this case is too bizarre."

Bizarre?

As you stepped over the high threshold, it suddenly hit you – wasn’t this Ma Hong’s place?

Indeed, as soon as you entered, you spotted a familiar face – Huang Mao, the young punk, Chen Ergou.

"Chen Ergou?"

Chen Laifu, upon hearing his name called, turned to look at you. He didn’t recognize you at first, just thought you looked familiar, so he kept staring.

"You’ve forgotten me so quickly, kid."

You walked up, playfully punched his chest, then slung an arm around his shoulder, hooking his neck, "What are you doing here? Where’s Ma Hong?"

"Our boss is dead."

At this, Chen Laifu’s eyes reddened again.

You stayed silent, released Chen Laifu, and walked further into the house.

"Old Shu!"

"Boss!"

"Chairman!"

Wow!

The moment you showed up, five people immediately surrounded you!

Wei Shuxian clapped your shoulder, smiling, "We were all waiting for you. With you here, we all feel a lot more confident."

As he said this, Wei Shuxian leaned in and whispered in your ear, "Hey, what’s the actual deal between you and Police Officer Xian?"

"Not a thing, she’s just a crazy woman who bites everyone she sees."
