Chapter 699 - The Quick Witted Wei Wei (1/2)

Once w.a.n.g Ling heard the name Zhang Yu, his nerves instantly relaxed.

His mother had said, if anybody wanted to investigate this issue, Zhang Yu would be the prime suspect to the officials.

These people truly came to investigate.

He must present himself more naturally.

w.a.n.g Ling’s hand paused on the doork.n.o.b. He took a deep breath before opening the door.

When he saw Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue standing outside, w.a.n.g Ling was genuinely startled, which made him raised his guard. “Why is it you?”

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs wanted to say something, but Helian Wei Wei signaled for him to shut up with her left hand, then she explained, “Actually, we’re not Feng Shui specialists but people from the official authority. The palace is taking this case very seriously, hence we were sent to visit you. We know the citizens are not willing to say a lot of things in case they get into trouble. But don’t worry, we will act by the law no matter how influential the culprit’s background is. This time, we’re here late at night just to understand more about Zhang Yu’s actual situation.”

After Helian Wei Wei spoke, w.a.n.g Ling’s vigilance dissipated to nothing, and he hesitated, wondering whether to let them in.

Just then, Old Lady w.a.n.g called from inside the house. “Ah Ling, let the two officials in, my conscience will not be clean if I don’t clear some things up.”

Old Lady w.a.n.g had her own plans for letting them in.

Firstly, if she did not let the officials in now, it would raise suspicion, and since her son was going to be a scholar, she could not let this minor thing ruined her son’s reputation.

Secondly, she could use this opportunity to continue directing the suspicion onto the second Young Master of the Zhang family.

Thirdly, the Yan family would soon realize that Liu’er was missing. If the two officials were here, she would have an alibi.

Then, n.o.body would suspect her for abducting Yan Liu’er. As for that girl, she was confident that she hid her well.

That was why Old Lady w.a.n.g, who had the perfect plot, opened her mouth.

Since his own mother had approved, naturally, w.a.n.g Ling had no objections. He moved aside to let Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue into the yard. After a moment of thought, he turned back and locked the wooden door.

The loud noise made the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs very uneasy.

He had no idea what would happen in the yard, and now that the door was closed, he could not see anything at all.

Moreover, the criminal this time might very well be a ghost.

Could they handle it?

Helian Wei Wei noticed w.a.n.g Ling’s unusual movements and raised a brow, but did not say a word. She only shot a glance at Baili Jia Jue who was beside her.

His Highness was still walking with as much grace and n.o.bility as usual, as if whether the door was opened or closed meant nothing to him.

Upon seeing this, w.a.n.g Ling felt some discomfort in his heart, even more than when he saw Zhang Yu.

Because Zhang Yu had too many flaws that he could pick on.

But this man before him was far too perfect to be judged.

The aura he exuded was one he could never get no matter how hard he tried.
