Chapter 721: The Fury Of Jiang Xuecheng
God’s Palace, the Emperor’s study.
On a bright holographic screen, a middle-aged man in uniform was reporting the results of his search with a low brow and a serious expression.
The person displayed on the holographic screen was Officer Li, who had been unsuccessful in the arrest.
Officer Li knew that he was in the wrong. As time passed, his subordinates were still unable to find any information about Su Wan and Ming Ye. His heart had long since turned cold. How would he dare to have any thoughts of taking credit!
The most important thing now was to ask the emperor not to directly remove his official title!
Even if he had to remove his official title, it was still better than leaving the God’s Palace, right?
Officer Li had never enjoyed enough of the life of a privileged class!
When he thought of the possibility of being demoted from the God’s Palace system, Officer Li’s forehead began to sweat. Even his joints turned slightly white from fear.
“Are you saying that Su Wan escaped?”
Jiang Xuecheng sat on the main seat. His legs were elegantly crossed, and his expression was extremely calm.
It was as if he had long expected this outcome.
These few words were faint, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry. It was just that Jiang Xuecheng was born with a cold and detached feeling, causing people to feel an inexplicable fear in their hearts.
Moreover, Officer Li himself felt guilty!
He stared at the tall and elegant man in front of him. Clearly, Jiang Xuecheng was sitting on a chair, but he was sitting straight. He felt as if he was being looked down upon from above!
“Yes… Yes, Your Highness.”
Officer Li silently clenched his fingers, wanting to give himself some strength. However, facing the holographic screen, the God’s Palace’s emperor, who was thousands of miles away, could not help but have goosebumps.
He couldn’t even speak clearly!
He no longer had the air of reprimanding his subordinates…
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Officer Li’s trembling words, he slowly stood up. His pair of cold phoenix eyes swept directly at Officer Li.
His thin lips pursed slightly, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade.
“How did you promise me so confidently back then? What’s the result now? Go and receive your punishment yourself!”
Officer Li couldn’t help but shiver when their eyes met.
Go and receive his own punishment?
What punishment?!
However, Officer Li’s knees went soft when he heard those words from Jiang Xuecheng. He took half a step back. After regaining his consciousness, he instantly knelt on the ground.
He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly!
Was he really going to remove him from his position and directly remove him from the God’s Palace?
Officer Li was trembling with fear as he used his hands to support himself on the ground. He slightly raised his head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng with his wrinkled eyes. His posture was so humble that it was as if he was in the dust.
“Your Highness, I admit that I did not do my job well. As long as you give me a little more time, I will definitely find Miss Su.”
“I also did not expect Miss Su to jump into the river! Moreover, she is actually with the man that the high priest is looking for. We have been chasing that man for more than a month and his methods are extremely skilled…”
When he heard that Su Wan was jumping into the river, Jiang Xuecheng’s deep eyes instantly narrowed.
When he heard that Su Wan was still jumping into the river with a man, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression suddenly changed!
He was like a dangerous beast, instantly overflowing with a thick murderous aura.
He stared at Officer Li sternly, his dark phoenix eyes tightly locked on Officer Li’s face, as if he wanted to pierce through Officer Li’s entire body!
“What did you say?! Su Wan is with a man…”
Moreover, that man was related to the high priest…
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly fell silent. He clenched his hands tightly, and his nails dug into his palms.
No matter how angry he was at Su Wan, he had no choice but to restrain his emotions.
From the moment they first met, Jiang Xuecheng felt that Su Wan seemed to know him, or rather, she did not know him, but was looking at someone through him.
“Tell me everything that happened today in detail, and send me the information on that man directly!”
Officer Li’s face turned pale when he heard Jiang Xuecheng’s orders.
He seemed to have said something that he should not have said in the heat of the moment.
Officer Li kneeled on the ground deeply. This time, he did not dare to look at Jiang Xuecheng. He buried his head on the ground and fell to the ground.
“Your Highness… I said something wrong just now. The high priest warned us that the identity of that man is a secret. We are not allowed to reveal it.”
Officer Li hated himself for saying too much, but it was too late to regret it now.
Hearing that Officer Li wanted to remain silent, Jiang Xuecheng sneered. His two sword-like eyebrows were extremely cold.
“Is my position in the God’s Palace lower than that of the high priest in name? If you don’t report it, I will just punish you for not doing your job properly!”
“Li Wei, you have to think this through carefully!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was neither high nor low, but every word was like a knife, killing without a trace of blood.
When Officer Li heard these ruthless words, his body suddenly trembled!
He kneeled on the ground in fear and trepidation. He raised his head with some trepidation, only to see that this newly promoted emperor of the God’s Palace was looking at him without blinking.
His phoenix eyes were dark, and his pupils were pure black. It was as if the sea water, which seemed calm but turbulent in the middle of the night, was about to swallow him up.
Officer Li began to feel frightened.
He gritted his teeth and finally revealed Ming Ye’s background.
He couldn’t be blamed for this.
After all, Su Wan was with Ming Ye. The emperor wanted to find this woman. Sooner or later, he would find Ming Ye.
In fact, Officer Li didn’t know much. He only knew that the high priest was chasing Ming Ye. He also knew about Ming Ye’s appearance and ability.
However, Ming Ye’s background was really unknown.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw the man on the holographic screen, his face turned cold!
He had never seen him before, but the man on the screen looked familiar at first glance. When he thought about it carefully, it turned out that he looked exactly like himself!
It was just that Ming Ye’s pair of bewitching emerald eyes were too eye-catching, so much so that they weakened his other facial features.
What followed was a photo of Su Wan and Ming Ye together.
The second picture was a surveillance photo. Ming Ye was dragging Su Wan’s hand as they ran toward the river.
Su Wan looked panicked. Her hair was messed up by the wind at the port, but her hand was tightly held by Ming Ye.
The man was in front and the woman behind. They looked like they were facing life and death together.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw this scene, his pupils shrank to the extreme.
It was this man, right?!
Because he looked similar to Ming Ye, Su Wan missed this man through himself?
And the child that Su Wan was pregnant with, it was Ming Ye’s, right?
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. His heart suddenly hurt, and his hands tightened. Because he had used too much force, his knuckles turned green and white.
Although the man and woman in the picture were running away, they unexpectedly matched each other.
The pain spread from his heart to his limbs and bones.
After Su Wan lost her child, he had lowered himself so much that he believed that one day, this woman would be moved by him, softened, and get back together with him.
He had to accommodate her in everything, even if Su Wan ignored him.
Jiang Xuecheng had never felt such an impulse to kill like this!
