Imperial Treasure

Chapter 644 - 418 Yue Beiqing_2

At that moment, everyone understood what true military austerity meant. Yue Beiqing, this beautiful and charming girl, had plunged Yue Xiangnan into a living hell with her indifferent and emotionless words.

Yue Xiangnan’s face turned pale, "Sis.."

"Just by the way you call me, it shows that you still don’t know where you’ve gone wrong," Yue Beiqing said emotionlessly as she closed her notebook.

Thud! It made one’s heart tremble.

Yue Xiangnan shivered instantly and immediately gave a standard military salute, "Yes, ma’am!"

He turned and left, a picture of defeat, yet he dared not show any dissatisfaction or protest...

The wealthy onlookers shuddered too, thinking, if she could treat her own brother like this, what about them?

"The Yueh Family... such a formidable Yue Beiqing," Cao Yu whispered softly.

"Indeed, very formidable," Cao Ling agreed.

"But the ’formidable’ I’m referring to isn’t just what’s on the surface," Cao Yu shook his head.

Pure military family lineage... third-generation with an impeccable background. So formidable, no wonder the Yueh Family has remained unbowed over the years.

Zhang Yu wiped his forehead and muttered, luckily I’m not under this woman’s command...

Bai Ruiqi sneered, you wouldn’t even be able to get into her troops, fatty!

Indeed, very formidable, Sui Yi sipped his water while watching Yue Xiangnan’s retreating figure... Yue Beiqing must know what sort of person her brother is, yet she still brought him to be involved in such a major case. Alright, you might think she wanted her brother to share in the credit, but that’s not it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to let him take charge despite knowing of his dissatisfaction towards her...

She is well aware of what Sui Yi is capable of! Her brother wouldn’t even be enough to twist Sui Yi’s finger.

She indulged his mistake, then harshly kicked him out...

Does she have a grudge against this brother?

Sui Yi is more inclined to believe that she’s teaching her emotionally unrestrained brother to take care of himself... or perhaps she’s intentionally giving him a huge setback to make him reflect...

If it’s the former, then Yue Beiqing must have noticed something. If it’s the latter, she indeed is quite ruthless.

So, this woman is no simple character.

At this moment, Pu Qinghan coughed a few times, waking up, and Yhan Qingwu passed her a glass of water.

After a few sips, she was still dazed. Yue Beiqing explained everything to her in a tactful yet clear and distinct language, and her shock and astonishment couldn’t be more obvious.

"It seems she really didn’t know," someone commented.

"Who knows. Actresses are heartless; she surely harbors hatred towards Li Yu. It’s not difficult for her to have killed someone and then pretend to be ignorant," Wang Feng scoffed.

This comment made female stars like Qiao Yu somewhat uncomfortable, including Lin Junyun across the room, who frowned.

Disparaging us female stars, how much better are you young masters? At least we work hard to earn money to support ourselves and our families. Even if some of us have made unscrupulous deals or done dirty deeds, at least there is loss and gain. As for you...

Despite their resentment, these female stars still maintained a submissive and calm demeanor...

Actresses are heartless, sometimes they truly are.

This time, it was Yue Beiqing who took Pu Qinghan into a small room for a private interrogation, even shorter than the one with Sui Yi. Soon enough, Pu Qinghan emerged, much calmer than before.

As they came out, the forensic team also had results ready, and only then did Yue Beiqing go over to examine the crime scene. (Her ordering was quite different from that of regular case officers; she seemed to place more importance on scrutinizing the guests here...)

No information found was announced to the people present...

Official personnel gathered for a short meeting, leaving the people in the hall idle once more after being questioned, and the atmosphere gradually became restless. Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside.

Yue Beiqing exited the temporary meeting room.

"Officer, it’s the Li Family," someone reported.

"Let them in," Yue Beiqing ordered succinctly, with a wave of her hand allowing the people from the Li Family to enter.

Moreover, she allowed all of them in.

Frankly, this lady’s methods are quite different from those of the older generations.

The Li Family entered in a grand procession, not short of people. Sui Yi instantly spotted four individuals at the same level as the Military Sabre, and exchanged looks with Gong Jiu and the others.

Trouble was on its way.

Yue Beiqing stepped forward and said one sentence.

"Condolences."

For some reason, Gong Jiu and the others found this opening line strangely amusing, but after all, they didn’t laugh out loud; otherwise, the Li Family’s people might have pounced on them and bitten them to death...

The middle-aged man leading the Li Family was the Sect Leader, Li Zhang, outwardly refined, with a hint of his younger days’ handsomeness still visible, sharply dressed in a suit and nodding without expression before asking, "May I know if Officer Yueh has found anything?"

"What I’ve found so far, I cannot tell you, as per regulations," Yue Beiqing replied.

Well then, Gong Jiu felt like laughing again, and Sui Yi also tugged at the corner of his mouth. Why did he feel that Yue Beiqing also didn’t seem to hold the Li Family in high regard, even though her behavior was perfectly proper... no mistakes at all.

It’s the same with personal emotions, it’s obvious the sister is much more profound than the brother. The people from the Li Family found it unpleasant to hear, but they couldn’t really complain about someone sticking too strictly to regulations.

The Li Family also has a foundation within the Military Department and naturally knows that the Yueh Family is not to be trifled with, that Yue Beiqing is not to be trifled with, and the implications behind the team Yue Beiqing brought this time are even more daunting.

"I understand. I just hope Officer Yueh catches the murderer soon..." Li Zhang nodded, then suddenly added, "However, I’ve heard that there are a few highly suspected individuals..."

His gaze drifted over inconspicuously...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
