Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 4052: Can’t swallow this

Translator: 549690339

The existence of the soul-searching technique was simply courting death when lying to the law enforcement Hall.

Murong Zhen’s heart sank to the bottom the moment she was locked up in the dungeon by the Masters of the law enforcement Hall. She knew that she was completely finished this time. Even if she had a little bit of luck, it was just wishful thinking!

This was a matter of great importance. Although Shangguan LAN ‘er had been safely rescued, kidnapping the first young lady of the rising Sky Pavilion was a terrible thing to do. The law enforcement Hall would definitely pursue this matter to the end, and she, who had reported the incident with many suspicious points, was a ready-made breakthrough.

Finally, in the midst of her extreme anxiety and fear, Murong Zhen’s anticipated tragic fate arrived. The law enforcement Hall had sent someone to interrogate her.

Even though Murong Zhen had already prepared an excuse in his mind, he was not confident that his flowery words would be able to fool the people of the law enforcement Hall.

Murong Zhen followed the men from the law enforcement Hall in silence. With every step she took, she felt as if she was one step closer to death. The despair brought about by the end of the road crushed the last bit of her nerves. She suddenly squatted on the ground and started bawling. The prisoners in the other Dungeons looked at each other excitedly and whistled softly.

The law enforcement Hall’s master who was leading the way in front was suddenly stunned. He turned his head to look at her and shouted,””If you want to cry, cry outside. Is the dungeon a place for you to make a scene?!”

“Outside?” Murong Zhen stopped crying and looked up at the expert from the Hall of Justice.””Don’t you want to interrogate me?”

The two experts of the law enforcement Hall laughed upon hearing this.”According to the rules, we were supposed to interrogate you, but Hall Master Gongyang told us not to make things difficult for the informer. Otherwise, who would dare to provide clues for the law enforcement Hall in the future? so, we’re not interrogating you now, but letting you out.”

“Re … Really?” Murong Zhen was overjoyed. He had been in despair, but now he had a new lease on life. This feeling made him so happy that he felt dizzy.

“Of course it’s true. Do you think that our law enforcement Hall is so idle that we have so much time to play with you? Have you cried enough? if you’ve cried enough, get up!” The expert of the law enforcement Hall twitched his mouth speechlessly. At the same time, he shouted loudly to make the prisoners in the other Dungeons calm down.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Murong Zhen was a pretty girl, he would have kicked her out of impatience.

“Uh … Yes, yes. I’ll get up now …” Murong Zhen blushed awkwardly. He was wondering when Gongyang Jie had become so generous.

For so many years, the law enforcement Hall under Gongyang Jie had always been known for being cold and brutal. Anyone who was caught would be at least half-dead, even if they were innocent. The number of people who died in the law enforcement Hall in the past ten years was more than the total number of people who died in the past hundred years combined!

Although it did not sound like Gongyang Jie’s style to say ‘don’t make things difficult for the person who reported the incident’, it was not his style at all. Moreover, he knew what was going on. Now that Shangguan LAN ‘er had returned, Murong Zhen’s report was full of suspicions. Could Gongyang Jie really not see through it?

Murong Zhen walked out of the Hall of Justice with a head full of questions and headed straight for the welcome Pavilion. Zhaoming was already waiting for her in her wooden house.

“Miss mu Rong, this is great, you’re finally back!” Kang Zhaoming let out a breath of relief when he saw that she came back safe and sound.

Murong Zhen couldn’t help but feel touched by Zhaoming’s concern for her. The anger she felt when Zhaoming forced her to report Lin Yi to the Hall of Justice dissipated by half.

However, Murong Zhen was a scheming woman after all. One look at Zhaoming’s happy face and he quickly realized that this guy wasn’t here to show concern for him!

The only reason Zhaoming was here was because he wanted to know what happened to Murong Zhen first, and use it to determine if he was going to stay or leave.

Seeing Murong Zhen’s cold expression, Zhaoming choked. He continued to smile,”I heard that miss mu Rong had been thrown into the dungeon by the law enforcement Hall. I was worried sick. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I can finally rest assured.”

“I’m really flattered that Deacon Kang has been so worried about me. However, it’s all thanks to Hall Master Gongyang that I was able to leave the law enforcement Hall safe and sound. If it wasn’t for him speaking up for me, we would have been wiped out. ” Murong Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be mysterious.

As expected, Zhaoming’s eyes twitched as he asked,””Thanks to Hall Master Gongyang? Gongyang Jie spoke up for you? What’s your relationship with him?”

Even a young master like Xu lingchong would have a hard time talking to a powerful and overbearing person like Gongyang Jie. Why would he stand up for a mere Murong Zhen?

“Who knows? as the saying goes, even a hero can’t stand the charms of a beauty. After all, the three pavilions have always had more men than women. No matter how powerful and overbearing Hall Master Gongyang is, he’s still a man full of vigor. What do you think, Deacon Kang?” Murong Zhen deliberately gave her a flirtatious look and said vaguely.

She knew that it was impossible for her to hook up with someone like Gongyang Jie with her looks alone, but she didn’t want to offend anyone by spreading her relationship with Gongyang Jie so ambiguously. She could also use this to intimidate Kang Zhaoming, so she wouldn’t have to take the blame if something happened to him in the future.

“Uh … Probably …” Kang Zhaoming wasn’t sure anymore. All men were lustful, and he was the best proof. If Gongyang Jie really liked Murong Zhen, then he would have to think twice about his attitude towards him.

“What do we do now? “The kidnapping incident isn’t over yet, it’ll be hard for us to deal with Lin Yi now …” Zhaoming said helplessly, testing the waters.

Murong Zhen glanced at him, shrugged, and said,””Don’t look at me. I don’t have a choice now. If I continue to go against the wind, the risk is too great. I can’t afford it.”

“But if we just let Lin Yi live like this, will you be able to take this lying down, miss Murong?” Zhaoming said unwillingly.

“Even if I can’t swallow it, what can I do?” Murong Zhen wasn’t willing to give up either, but at this point in time, she was at her wit’s end when it came to Lin Yi, who was getting stronger by the day.

Suddenly, Murong Zhen’s eyes lit up and he suggested,””Two heads are short, three heads are long. Why don’t we get Meng Tong to come over and discuss this?”

“This is good too.” Kang Zhaoming thought about it and nodded.
