Chapter 48: Second Time in Custody, Su Mei's Inner Demon
"Hmph hmph, that's more like it." She smiled happily, but for Han Lie, that so-called 'term of endearment' was a bit too mushy.
This was something she unexpectedly demanded during their last Dual Cultivation session, specifically saying she wanted him to privately use a different 'term of endearment' to address her.
"Ahem..." Han Lie tactically cleared his throat, slightly easing the awkward embarrassment, and asked, "This Law Enforcement Hall disciple died here; will there be trouble afterward?"
"No." Zhuo Hongyi was full of confidence. "Without finding the body, they can only count him as missing. The Azure Dragon Squad side might investigate a bit, but the final result can only be left unresolved."
"Very good then." Han Lie nodded, just afraid that Liu Tie's death would bring endless trouble again.
"Are you still going back to the Violet Heaven Palace place?" she immediately followed up asking.
"Mhm." Han Lie nodded his head. "Need to go back for two or three days. Afterward, This Senior will go find you, okay?"
Originally, he planned to hide in the White Tiger Squad office for two or three days, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. No choice then; he still had to return to the Violet Heaven Palace small cabin to live for two or three days.
"Mhm, be careful yourself. Some people will also send others to watch you."
Meanwhile, within the night, a pair of blood-colored eyes was watching.
"The Vermilion Bird Squad is really troublesome."
Two days later, Zhuo Hongyi received a summons from the Law Enforcement Hall Master and returned to Law Enforcement Peak to pay her respects again.
"Master, your disciple has returned." She knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully with cupped hands.
Law Enforcement Hall Master Su Meiyu was still sitting upright on the meditation cushion in the main hall. Her dignified, elegant, and graceful charm was still present. Su Meiyu lightly raised her phoenix eyes and softly said, "Azure Dragon Squad's Liu Tie is missing."
"It was you who killed him, right?"
Zhuo Hongyi's pupils immediately contracted, her heart and mind shaken!
This matter shouldn't be known by anyone but her and Han Lie. How did her master know?
Zhuo Hongyi's expression had already told the answer. Su Meiyu continued saying, "In Master's heart, Zhui Ming's weight far cannot compare to yours, but you need to go out and lay low. Master will suppress this matter for you."
"The Sect's Number Nine mining vein has always been harassed by the Sun Moon Sect. Recently, their harassment is becoming increasingly rampant."
"You lead the Vermilion Bird Squad disciples to go clean it up. Once finished, you can come back."
"Alright, Master. Disciple will go now." After a moment of silence, Zhuo Hongyi had to accept.
Walking out of the main hall, Zhuo Hongyi stopped her footsteps, her eyes narrowed dangerously. Her intuition told her things weren't quite right.
Su Meiyu knowing she killed Liu Tie was itself very strange. Han Lie couldn't possibly have told Su Meiyu, and she herself even less possible. That meant the night before, when Liu Tie ambushed Han Lie and was killed by them together, someone else saw it.
Plus, now Su Meiyu sending her out to deal with the Number Nine mining vein harassment matter... it gave her a feeling like an invisible hand behind the scenes was moving her away.
"Could it be..." Perhaps the invisible hand behind this was precisely the person targeting Han Lie.
Now, besides praying for Han Lie, she couldn't help in any other way.
Other side, Violet Heaven Palace small cabin.
These two days, Han Lie holed up inside the cabin, still unaware Zhuo Hongyi had already left the sect.
That night, an inexplicable sense of foreboding arose in his heart and grew increasingly stronger.
"This Senior cannot sit and wait for death!"
He couldn't care anymore. Immediately, he left the small cabin and planned to find Zhuo Hongyi.
However! Shortly after leaving, several figures wearing Law Enforcement Hall attire came walking toward him. The leader was precisely Su Mei.
Seeing Su Mei, Han Lie's momentarily tense heart relaxed somewhat. Fortunately, it wasn't Zhui Ming or the Law Enforcement Hall Black Tortoise Squad Captain.
Su Mei's lips held a playful arc, seeming to want to eat someone. She playfully said, "Haven't seen you for a few days, old Servant Disciple. Where are you going?"
"Mhm... This Senior is just strolling around casually." Han Lie said, "Don't know what guidance Captain Su has coming to find This Senior?"
"Well then, sorry, old Servant Disciple. Tonight you probably cannot stroll casually; you need to first come with me."
"If you want to ask why, then of course, it's still regarding the Junior Brother Zhu Fan matter."
Finished speaking, her jade finger waved. Several Law Enforcement Hall disciples beside her immediately surrounded him.
Helplessly, Han Lie smiled bitterly. Since Su Mei was still using the Zhu Fan matter to arrest him, it meant the situation had changed over there with Zhuo Hongyi.
"Captain Su, This Senior can go with you, but before that, don't know if Captain Su can first answer This Senior one question?"
"You want to ask about Senior Sister Zhuo's matters?"
She seemed to have guessed what Han Lie was about to ask next. Somewhat displeased, she snorted coldly and said, "Already this time, still concerned about Senior Sister Zhuo? If you really like her, then don't need to ask; I won't answer."
Han Lie spread his hands and simply shut his mouth.
Thus, it looked like indeed something had happened to Zhuo Hongyi. Otherwise, Su Mei couldn't possibly use Zhu Fan to make an issue again.
Thus, for the second time in custody, Han Lie was again brought to the White Tiger Squad office interrogation room. Su Mei didn't interrogate him immediately. She waited until deep in the night, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Heavily locking the interrogation room door behind her, twisting her snake-like enchanting waist, she came before Han Lie and lifted his chin. Her charming eyes were silken, enchanting, and seductive as she said, "Old Servant Disciple, last time I told you the matter, considered it clear yet?"
"This time, don't count on Senior Sister Zhuo to save you."
Han Lie didn't directly answer her words but instead said, "Captain Su, your jealousy is too heavy. Zhuo Hongyi never thought to compete with you for anything."
"If you insist on proving yourself more outstanding than Zhuo Hongyi, future highly likely you'll develop an inner demon."
"You should know, for us cultivators, how terrifying an inner demon is."
