Chapter 692 - Meeting The Secretary Of State For The Ministry Of Official Personnel Affairs, The Third Slap In The Face (1/2)

“Yes!” A few guards came forward and surrounded them once more.

Helian Wei Wei curved her lips mockingly as she tilted her head toward His Highness’ face. Chills emanated from the mysterious glimmer in his long, narrow eyes.

They locked eyes with one another for a split second before they proceeded to allow the guards to escort them away without resistance. Moreover, they were simply following along with casual strides.

Before coming here, Helian Wei Wei already went to greet the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. It was so that he would keep an eye on his subordinates and investigate the case himself.

Now that this Lord Zhang was insistent on taking them away, it was obvious that he wanted to bring them before the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs and close the case quickly in order to protect his own son.

Heh, such a dimwit.

With the current crowded conditions, it would be difficult for Helian Wei Wei and His Highness to initiate a fight. Conveniently, they just have to wait until they meet Lord Li and hand both father and son over to him.

Helian Wei Wei yawned several times as they continued forward.

Yan Liu’er stood on her toes with great effort just so she could keep her eyes trained in their direction. Her gaze was completely focused on Baili Jia Jue, reluctant to miss a second of him.

This made Zhang Yu further darkened his eyes. He thought of all the times he had blatantly hinted at Yan Liu’er, but she never gave him a single chance.

Then the moment this toy boy showed up, he was given all of her attention.

Bitterness filled Zhang Yu’s heart.

Then again, it was not like he truly loved Yan Liu’er.

It just so happened that she was his type. Additionally, the fact that he was never able to win her heart made him all the more restless.

Now, seeing the demure way she looked at Baili Jia Jue, it felt like a hard slap to his own face.

He was the young master of the Zhang Family, which part of him could not compete with that toy boy!

Zhang Yu let out a heartless laughter. Since this toy boy is such a crowd favourite, he should just go and die. Just by the fact that he dared to challenge me, these two people deserve to be scapegoats!

Lord Zhang’s thoughts were much more straightforward. There were so many ongoing cases held at the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, even if Lord Li was investigating the case himself, time was of the essence for these cases of disappearance.

The incident was two days ago.

He was the main officer in charge of the case, if he could carefully altered a few clues, it would be easy to change the proof.

Moreover, these two people did not look like they came from influential backgrounds judging by their attire. They looked like peasants instead. Should they became scapegoats, it probably would not cause any trouble.

Perhaps if they behaved, he would simply release them next year on the basis of insufficient evidence.

However, if they misbehaved like they did today, there would be no need for him to further consider on being righteous. Anyway, there were so many people in the Capital, it would be no big deal if one or two people died.

Lord Zhang thought about how he had plotted a wonderful plan. With the criminals at bay, his beloved son would be free of suspicion and could finally step out from the house. Not only that, he would gain credentials from Lord Li. There was no reason for him to not carry through with his plan.

Zhang Yu knew his father’s intention well. Seeing as there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and asked, “Father, Lord Li would not find out about anything right?”
