Thud!

Just as Xianchan Chencheng leapt into the air to strike swiftly, Shi Huaifeng, Zhaoye Bai, and Qin Yueyang all moved!

Shi Huaifeng kicked off with his legs, exerted force from his waist, and instantly leaped into the air from his chair, reaching out to stop Xianchan Chencheng; Zhaoye Bai tossed the fat orange cat into the air, quickly advanced and hugged Xianchan Chencheng from behind; Qin Yueyang took out a lighter and then put it back, reaching out to catch the falling orange cat.

"Meow!"

Just as the fat orange cat let out a startled cry, the three in the air all fell down.

Xianchan Chencheng, being stopped, stared venomously at Le Yu, who leisurely picked a grape from the fruit plate and put it in his mouth, laughing, "Long time no see, Raccoon Slave is still so enthusiastic."

"Do you deserve to call me that?"

"What? A girl can call you that, but I can't?" Le Yu raised an eyebrow, "Or do you want me to lie by the pool in a swimsuit before I can call you that?"

He was right there!

Although it was long expected that Qin Leyin was protected by the various palaces last time, the fact that he was right there watching her act cute with the various palaces nearly made Xianchan Chencheng's anger burn through his stomach: "Qin Leyin—"

"Didn't you tell me last time, 'Don't let me see you again'? Now that we've met again, shouldn't you express something?"

Le Yu beckoned with his finger: "Or is your declaration just like a child's fart, and everyone just laughs it off? Or is it a sort of coquettish plea meaning 'Please, big brother Qin Leyin, play with me'?"

"Qin Leyin!"

Zhaoye Bai shouted loudly: "We came here on the director's orders, please show us some respect!"

"Hongle!" Shi Huaifeng also looked anxiously at Le Yu, being a typical businessman, he was most unwilling to engage in fights where risks far exceeded benefits.

"That depends on whether the Raccoon Slave is willing to respect me." Le Yu smiled, "When he came knocking, his forehead might as well have had 'I'm here to pick a fight' written on it. I could only strike first, otherwise…"

"If he said something insulting to the deceased, it wouldn't just be my lips moving."

"Are you threatening me?"

"This is advice from big brother."

Xianchan Chencheng sneered, "With you who can only lie down now?"

"You can always try." Le Yu propped his face with a smile, "Unlike a child, a real man can get hard whenever he wants."

Clap!

Shi Huaifeng clapped his hands and loudly said: "Inspector Xianchan, you're not here to argue, are you? Hongle, we have more important things to do, right? Just do me a favor and stop arguing, okay? Yueyang, close the door and greet the agents outside."

Qin Yueyang, who had been petting the cat and watching the drama, nodded, put the cat down, and turned to leave, lighting the indoor candles before leaving.

Xianchan Chencheng tensed up as if not willing to let it go, Zhaoye Bai leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Director Xie is watching you."

Xianchan Chencheng widened his eyes at her, "And you say you're not here to restrain me?"

"This isn't restraint, it's a sincere reminder," Zhaoye Bai said helplessly, "But you're not here to fight."

"So you understand why our Righteous Guard prefers the real battle route," Xianchan Chencheng broke free of her hand, walked to the side, and sat down: "Breathing the same air as someone I dislike is really unpleasant."

"Is that so?" Le Yu laughed, "Unlike you, I'm in a great mood. Or rather, I never have a bad mood."

Xianchan Chencheng immediately mocked, "Even when Bai Yu is dead? Of course, you weren't close to him, so why mourn for him?"

"I indeed wasn't close to him, nor am I sad about his death." Le Yu picked up another grape: "Like fireworks, he shone, he blossomed, he died properly, without regrets, what right do I have to mourn for him?"

"I'm only entitled to be angry for myself, like kicking some impolite brat hard, don't you agree, Raccoon Slave?"

Le Yu snapped his fingers: "I can't judge whether I'll get angry now, so I suggest you speak carefully. Your current score is minus one, Inspector Xianchan."

The two stared at each other for a long time. Zhao Yebai and Shi Huaifeng exchanged a glance and sighed quietly.

"You're blaming me, aren't you?" Xian Chanchenzhen suddenly said, "Are you thinking that if I hadn't forced you to stay home for half a month, Bai Yu wouldn't have visited you at night; if he hadn't gone out at night, tonight's incident wouldn't have happened... You're resenting me, and also your own incompetence, aren't you?"

Are they really going to fight... Shi Huaifeng reached for the hand cannon in his embrace, while the fat cat sleeping on the floor warily got up, and the candle flames flickered.

"Oh? You could think that way? Fine, I've added that to the Raccoon Slave's notebook. I'll settle accounts with you when I lock you in the basement later." Le Yu lazily said, "Now, shouldn't you introduce that adorable young girl behind you who's bearing a great grievance following you?"

Xian Chanchenzhen said coldly, "A disciple who holds a cat is not worth mentioning."

"Zhao Yebai, agent of the Statistical Department's executive team, responsible for guarding Inspector Xian Chan's safety." Zhao Yebai smiled, "Also a Righteous Guard disciple, called 'Xiang Zhao'. You can call me Xiao Zhao or Yebai."

"I thought all Righteous Guards were people with the 'aura of a ruler' like Inspector Xian Chan, but... the difference between people is larger than between humans and dogs..." Le Yu sighed, before Xian Chanchenzhen lost his temper, and asked, "So, are you here to tell me the attackers' information?"

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

"I don't know." Xian Chanchenzhen's face darkened, "Based on your description, the Statistical Department found no record of a 'bandaged martial artist'. Moreover, no one in Yanjing would openly collude with the Skyrim People—right now, the Skyrim Area is shouting against them, contacting Skyrim People is practically cutting oneself off from the Imperial Court."

Le Yu bit into a grape and spoke in a low voice, "So, someone went against political correctness and colluded with the Skyrim People?"

"Political correctness?" Although hearing this term for the first time, Xian Chanchenzhen quickly understood its meaning, "You could say that. Also, the opponents sent at least two people to assassinate Jianqiao, otherwise there's no way to explain why the lamp extinguished instantly, but for some reason only one person acted... and the bandaged martial artist who acted died completely, without even a single shred left, making investigation impossible."

"But, they even sent martial artists who surpassed the Seven Emotions Tribulation as assassins, which shows how strong the chosen Jianqiao is."

Xian Chanchenzhen raised an eyebrow and coldly laughed, "With your current injuries, can you still be Jianqiao? Even if you desert, no one would blame you, the Righteous Guards can cover your back..."

"I'm not a little kid, I don't need anyone to cover my back." Le Yu laughed, hitting each of Xian Chanchenzhen's sore spots, "Then why are you here? Just to tell me you know nothing?"

Xian Chanchenzhen seemed a bit surprised, "You don't know? You haven't received any information?"

Le Yu was puzzled, "Information? What information?"

Xian Chanchenzhen quickly understood, couldn't help but slightly curl his lips, but soon sank into gloom.

He was pleased because he found Qin Yueyin's flaw.

He was disappointed because he couldn't exploit but had to compensate for Qin Yueyin's flaw.

"Bai Yu's Nesser Heart." He spat out these words forcefully, as if they jumped up and punched him.

Le Yu immediately understood what was going on, took out Bai Yu's Nesser Heart—since the bandaged assassin's sudden self-detonation was too abrupt, and they thought they were sure to win, Bai Yu did not try to activate the Nesser Heart replica—then used spiritual power to activate the deep blue diamond gem on it.

The Nesser Heart replica generated a slight vibration, Le Yu suddenly felt a somewhat tenuous connection with the Nesser Heart, several pieces of information transmitted into his mind along his spiritual power.

「Information: Cooperate with Righteous Guard to discuss list affairs」

「Attachment: Message transmission method」

「Belongs to: Hongle」

"One person dies, there's an empty position." Xian Chanchenzhen smiled, "How does it feel to become a Ritual Guard direct walker, able to communicate with Junzuo? Feeling better?"

Le Yu directly picked up a grape, making a motion to throw it, but then put it in his mouth, making Xian Chanchenzhen's tense body freeze for a moment.

Then he suddenly picked up something and threw it, Xian Chanchenzhen instinctively swatted it away, found his hand sticky, and realized the swatted object was a mango pit, with all the fruit flesh eaten clean.

Le Yu: "I licked it."

Xian Chanchenzhen looked at his sticky palm that touched the mango pit, his body trembling endlessly, gritted his teeth and spat out a few words—

"Today, I want him dead, even the Secretary can't keep him, I'm saying it!"
