891: Chapter 558: Process_3 891: Chapter 558: Process_3 The treatnt for the second visit to the palace was especially cordial compared to the first.
Last ti he was here, Xu Yuan was directly taken by Xu ngxi to that cold and damp prison reserved for severe punishnts, but this ti Xu Yuan was led by Xu ngxi to the official residence of the Secret Investigation Departnt in Yan.
Following behind Xu ngxi, and after watching her swinging ponytail for a while, Xu Yuan shifted his gaze to the side.
The architecture of the Secret Investigation Yan was imposing and solemn.
In the open-air corridors, officials of the Secret Investigation Departnt in various ranks of official attire were busy coming and going, exuding a vibrant and serious atmosphere.
Most of the Secret Investigation Departnt’s officials bowed and greeted Xu ngxi when they saw her, but there was more or less a trace of disdain in their eyes.
Apparently, Xu ngxi was not well-liked within the Secret Investigation Departnt.
But thinking about it, it was not surprising, considering her personality being in the bureaucracy.
Personally sending her superior and benefactor to prison, though legally sound, was against common sentint.
Moreover, Xu ngxi probably ddled with the extra perks of these Secret Investigation Departnt officials to so extent.
Being law enforcent on the front lines, the Secret Investigation Departnt officers could often gain substantial benefits.
By her nature, it was likely she restricted so of these perks.
It’s not like they were clerks; they risked their lives for the Imperial Court, and receiving so extra perks was an unspoken rule.
While pondering, Xu Yuan noticed Xu ngxi stopped walking.
He halted as well and looked up to see a man in his thirties standing in front of Xu ngxi.
Tall and sturdily built with a square face, thick eyebrows, and tiger-like eyes, he exuded an upright aura, but a fierce scar across half of his face added a bandit-like fierceness to his deanor.
His Qi was profound and enduring, no doubt a Primordial.
What caught Xu Yuan’s attention was,
The way other officials looked at this imposing man was quite similar to how they looked at Xu ngxi.
As if they were looking at a plague deity.
Xu ngxi stood facing the robust man, but no sound was heard, probably communicating through voice transmission.
Xu Yuan stood quietly to the side, not using Celestial Fates Divine Soul to eavesdrop, as there were experts in the Secret Investigation Departnt, and being discovered could lead to losses.
However, from their expressions, Xu Yuan could discern so clues.
Although the robust man appeared stern, there was softness in his eyes.
Upon seeing the man, Xu ngxi’s pretty face consistently bore a gentle smile.
Seed like they were banding together for warmth.
While musing silently, Xu ngxi suddenly turned around and said:
“Young Master, I’ll leave your matter in the hands of Big Brother Huang for now, I am off to interrogate the Qin Family’s second young master in the punitive cell.”
Xu Yuan was montarily taken aback, glancing at the sternly upright Primordial, only to see him staring intensively at him as he voice transmitted:
“Governor Xu, didn’t you say it was just a procedural matter earlier?
I don’t want to be deeply involved.”
Xu ngxi seed to notice Xu Yuan’s concern and softly said:
“Do not worry, young master, I have explained everything to Big Brother Huang.
He won’t make things difficult for you.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan no longer spoke and just nodded.
Seeing this, Xu ngxi smiled faintly, said sothing to the robust man via voice transmission, bowed to Xu Yuan, and quickly turned to leave.
It seed this woman really trusted this imposing man.
In a mont, only Xu Yuan and the robust man were left in the corridor.
As they exchanged glances,
Suddenly, the robust man’s voice rang out in Xu Yuan’s ear:
“Young Master, please co with .”
