Imperial Treasure

Chapter 641 - 417

----------

Sui Yi had thought that Xiao Yu, being so young yet holding a high position, was already a rarity, but there’s always an exception, and not just one exception.

When Xiao Yu saluted the young woman dressed in light blue Capri pants, tucking half of a loose-fitting white shirt into her waistband, about 1.73 meters tall, Sui Yi saw collapse on many faces.

Gong Jiu leaned over to Sui Yi and muttered, "My intuition tells me this woman is tough to deal with, super tough to deal with..."

"Intuition my ass! Didn’t you see that dope following her?"

That nickname "dope" was exclusively reserved for their classmate Yueh Xiangnan, who was in his youthfully foolish phase.

At the moment, Yueh Xiangnan was indeed strutting behind the young woman with his chest puffed out. Honestly, his posture told Sui Yi that he must have a very close relationship with this young woman, so much so that he thought he had a powerful trump card that allowed him to be so arrogant in front of his superior, Xiao Yu...

The others seemed to take it in stride.

An upstart playboy? Gong Jiu and the others scoffed. To have climbed to a higher military rank than Xiao Yu, this woman, even if lacking in taste, must at least be intelligent, certainly not the type to fall for such cheap imitations.

Probably a relative, they guessed.

Flower Demon watched the young woman with great interest. There were no major resemblances in appearance, but it was certain that if Yueh Xiangnan scored 60 in the looks department among men, then this young woman would score eighty-five among women.

--Talking about looks alone.

Compared to that, Sui Yi wasn’t someone who spent much time assessing others. For one, there weren’t many who could conceal their true nature from her third eye, and secondly, it was rude. So, she didn’t pay much attention to the young woman. Her gaze drifted and landed on a few somewhat familiar faces instead.

Like the woman who entered the hall casually dressed in a white lab coat and immediately lit up a cigarette.

The tobacco smell of that cigarette was very light, instead, there was a faint hint of mint. Sui Yi knew some women who had quite the smoking habit but didn’t like the health risks, which led to a kind of borderline cigarette product in another market—it could satisfy their cravings without doing much harm, of course, at an exorbitant price.

This woman walked into the hall with such a cigarette dangling from her lips. Her at least eighty-point beauty even surpassed that of actresses like Qiao Yu or Lin Junyun, but her demeanor was quite singular, pinching a slim cigarette in one hand and looking at Duke Zheng with a smile: "Tell me where the body of that playboy who got skinned is, or at least where his skin is," she said.

This disrespectful tone displeased many of the guests, especially Military Sabre...

She glared at Military Sabre and said with a half-smile, "Military Sabre... Long time no see. Wait until you can survive the Li Family’s tactics before you glare at me again. It’s already uncomfortable enough to be dragged out here in the middle of the night, and if you glare at me one more time, I might just leave something on Li Yu’s body or take something away..."

Was this person a doctor? Forensic expert? A freak?

Gong Jiu and the others were seeing this person for the first time, all sorts of emotions blowing through their minds, but Sui Yi had experienced her capabilities in Mao Bamboo Village before.

Duke Zheng clearly knew her prowess too, thus he spoke solemnly, "Miss Ming Lanyuan is one of our nation’s top forensic experts with a unique early reputation in evidence examination. Naturally, I trust her. Someone, take Miss Ming to where Li Yu’s body is..."

The body... now that’s respect.

Gong Jiu scoffed.

Ming Lanyuan smiled and walked over... approaching Sui Yi, she bent down, and under the watchful eyes of Gong Jiu and others, she snuffed out the few puffs of the cigarette in the ashtray placed in front of Sui Yi, revealing a meaningful smile, then stood up and left.

This woman truly was... dangerous!

Gong Jiu, like an annoyed hen, involuntarily went into defense mode...

This person knew Sui Yi, Yhan Qingwu and others noticed something but didn’t say anything. Since Sui Yi kept quiet, so did Ming Lanyuan, and naturally, the others wouldn’t speak.

What’s most important at the moment was dealing with Yueh Xiangnan and his people...

Yueh Xiangnan clearly saw them, and his expression immediately changed. After saying a few words, he led his group over.

It was evident that they brought a lot of people with them, many from the Military Department and Martial Arts Department, now dispersing into groups of three to carry out pen recordings and inquiries in each booth...

"Damn it, why is it this dope coming over?" Gong Jiu was annoyed.

"Isn’t this just giving us trouble on purpose!"

Some blamed Xiao Yu, but Sui Yi said softly, "Three people, one reliable one is enough."
