Chapter 896: Chapter 560: The Traitor_3

"I certainly know it’s not because of her. It’s because of Zhou Quanping’s disciple, right? Not bad at all, even capable of playing the hero and saving the damsel. It seems our Changtian’s cultivation has indeed improved."

Zhou Quanping, Chief of the Secret Investigation Bureau.

As she spoke, Lou Ji casually tossed aside the half-unwrapped gift box she was holding, which Bai Muxi hurriedly caught in a fluster.

Lou Ji crossed her rich, shapely legs, the high-heeled amethyst boots on her feet swinging gently, and spoke with a rather indifferent tone:

"If you hadn’t been gallivanting everywhere, buying her all this random junk, how would such a mess have occurred? Now I have to come here personally to pick up our dear young master."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan got up and sat down next to Lou Ji, coughing lightly as he replied:

"Sis, a mess is a mess, but the outcome is still good in the end."

Speaking of which, Xu Yuan steered the conversation back on track:

"By the way, have you found out the purpose of Qin Weishu being sent to prison?"

"Not yet."

Lou Ji folded her arms across her chest and replied discontentedly, "This matter came up so suddenly, where would I go to investigate?"

Xu Yuan grinned sheepishly:

"Hadn’t we already started making arrangements?"

"Just because we’ve made arrangements, does it mean we’ve found out? The power behind Qin Family is still a mystery to us. We only know that they sent the favorite of your Enchantress Divine Physique to accompany your Jiatiange’s Saintess to the Western Desert to snatch the Desert Goddess."

"No, you..."

"What ’no’? What are you trying to say?"

"..." Xu Yuan.

Well, it looks like elder sister is really angry.

But Xu Yuan also knew that elder sister Lou Ji was complaining about him taking risks.

Laying down sidelong, Xu Yuan started massaging Lou Ji’s shoulders while he quietly asked:

"Sis, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong... But for this matter, should we extract Qin Weishu from jail first, or play along with their scheme and find out his purpose?"

Lou Ji slowly sat up straight, lifted Xu Yuan’s constantly kneading hand from her shoulder, took a deep breath to calm herself, and spoke in a grave tone:

"For now, we should investigate and find out within the prison. Since Qin Weishu voluntarily went to prison, he must have prepared a countermeasure against us in advance. Without finding out what this countermeasure is, even if we manipulate the Dali Temple to get him out, it’s likely there will be trouble.

"Being able to fight you for so long, this man must be quite capable. For the Qin Family to be willing to send such an important legitimate son on a dangerous mission, the matter must be of great significance."

Saying this, Lou Ji gently shook her head:

"However, we still need to go through the motions on the surface, otherwise it may arouse unnecessary suspicion."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked softly:

"Are we going to leave this matter to that Huang from the Secret Investigation Department to investigate?"

Lou Ji nodded, her eyes half-closed:

"Changtian, you’ve... you’ve told him all the information you know, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Yuan nodded, and succinctly recounted the cause and effect of the situation.

After listening carefully, Lou Ji’s expression softened slightly:

"That will do. Huang Shiwei is extremely capable. With this information from you, he should be able to handle the matter on his own."

Hearing such high praise, Xu Yuan thought of that upright and imposing figure and asked with interest:

"Sis, how did you manage to place someone like Huang Shiwei inside the Secret Investigation Department? Was he one of the seeds sown by my father?"

Upon this topic, Lou Ji let out an enigmatic hum:

"He’s not a mere seed that gradually rotted away.

"For him, we went through a lot of effort to forcefully bind him with us."

As she spoke,

Lou Ji seemed to recall some past amusement, shot a glance at Xu Yuan, her eyes containing a hint of playfulness, squinting into crescent moons:

"Right, the case of Xu Mengxi personally sending her own benefactor to death was something we had Huang Shiwei handle. Heh... That person was too much of an obstacle and couldn’t be assassinated, so he had to die in such a manner instead."
