Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Director Guo, you still haven’t answered my question. Why did your Fifth Department come to Sea District to try to arrest the Wu family?”

Guo Langming’s heart felt like a hundred million horses were racing across it.

Could he tell Li Heyi that he was sent by the Xiao family?

The 12th Official used to be a member of the Xiao family!

He did not know how to open his mouth. After all, there were so many people watching.

Guo Langming smiled, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He walked to Li Heyi’s side and said, “Officer Li, I think there might’ve been a misunderstanding. Why don’t we talk in private?”

Li Heyi looked at the person in front of him and knew that he was a member of the Xiao family. He had a filial duty to protect this person, but Elder Xiao could not be bothered with such duties. The Xiao family did not care about what he did, so he believed that if he helped the them eliminate this evil today… his father-in-law would definitely not blame him.

Li Heyi said coldly, “You wanna talk in private? Why? Since you also feel that there’s been a misunderstanding, let’s make everything clear now. Governor Wu is the governor of Sea District. His reputation is not something to be casually trampled upon. You would have gone ahead and done so if not for me being here today. I absolutely can’t allow someone from our administrative office to be casually framed. Why did you come hereto arrest him? Who gave you the courage to openly violate the rules of the Ministry of Justice and cross your jurisdiction to attempt to arrest him? And what did you plan to do after arresting him?”

Guo Langming was pissed off. He really wanted to curse.

Could he say that he was ordered by the second young master to arrest him?

“Officer Li, it’s really not appropriate for me to talk about this here. Why don’t… Why don’t we forget about this for today? I’ll report the situation to Officer Li another day.” After saying that, he was ready to leave.

“Stop right there!”

This voice was not Li Heyi’s, but someone else’s.

Guo Langming turned around. When he saw the person descending the stairs clearly, his eyes widened again.

Guo Langming was thinking about how if the Xiao family had done a better job of communicating internally, Li Heyi would definitely let him go after he found out who sent him. However, after seeing this person, Guo Langming felt like he had been tricked.

Chi Yang’s tall and slender body was like a sudden burst of sunlight. It instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, especially the women!

With a height of 188cm, he was tall and slender like an upright pine tree. He was perfect, and it was impossible to pick out even a single flaw on his body.

His face was so handsome that it seemed lovingly handcrafted by God. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his sharp and deep eyes were like eagles in the dark night, able to pierce through the darkness and look into one’s soul.

He walked down the staricase step by step. Each step seemed to resonate in people’s hearts, making their souls tremble.

There was no lack of unmarried young ladies among the guests attending the banquet today.

Even though Wu Zongyang of the Wu family was unmarried, the only girls who could catch his eye were probably from the few top-tier wealthy families in Sea District. Thus, these young ladies all revelled in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to look at another viable man at this banquet. They wanted to find a good man for themselves and their family, as well as a strong backer for their marriage alliance.

The moment Chi Yang appeared, the eyes of almost all the young ladies lit up.

After all, he was really too handsome and too good-looking. Plus, as a soldier, his character and aura were…
