Zhang Tang, who was sitting on the other side of the screen and eavesdropping, couldn't help but steal a glance at Wang Yi beside him. However, he saw that Wang Yi only pursed his lips. He didn't show any anger or emotion.
In the inner hall, Xu Ting didn't wait for Chen Jue to chase him away again. He said, "Sir, I'm not here to recommend my sister."
"… Go ahead," Chen Jue said.
"The day before yesterday, Madam Ding invited several madams to a banquet at the Ding Estate to enjoy the flowers.
My mother brought my sister to the banquet. On that day, my sister pulled out the hairpin of Grand Secretary Liu's youngest daughter and scratched many times on the face of Grand Secretary Liu's youngest daughter. "Xu Ting frowned and revealed a distressed expression as he spoke.
Li Xiao raised her eyebrows as she listened. Her curiosity was completely piqued.
Lord Xu's sister was actually such a … fierce person?
"…" Chen Jue raised his eyes and looked seriously at Xu Ting, indicating that he should continue.
"My sister held down Fifth Young Miss Liu. As she screamed, cried, and struggled, she wrote the word 'ugly' on her face," Xu Ting said.
"Ah!" Li Xiao couldn't help but cry out in alarm. She covered her mouth and looked at Xu Ting in disbelief.
Just thinking about that scene was enough to make her hair stand on end.
Carving words on a living person's face … A little girl doing such a thing?
Chen Jue couldn't help but frown. The scene that Xu Ting described made him feel a little strange.
"My sister is 14 years old. Her height only reaches my chest.
She's very thin and doesn't do heavy work, "Xu Ting said.
"She doesn't have much strength. She's thin and weak. She's always been a spoiled little girl. Although she's a little willful, she doesn't even dare to look at the corpses of little birds. She's afraid of blood. She's well-behaved and timid."
Wang Yi suddenly appeared from behind the screen. He frowned and slowly introduced the basic characteristics of Family Xu's sister.
Then, with a distressed expression, he continued, "How could such a little girl who rarely quarrels with others do such a thing?"
Xu Ting turned around and looked at Wang Yi meaningfully.
Chen Jue also glanced over.
Li Xiao was immersed in that terrifying scene when Wang Yi suddenly appeared. She also sat up straight and looked at him curiously.
It was only then that Wang Yi realized that he had been attracted by the strange things that Xu Ting had mentioned. He had actually jumped out from the eavesdropping camp to 'surrender' …
He opened his mouth awkwardly, and excuses such as "I have something to talk to the Lord Chen about" or "I came here to talk to Registrar Zhang about something, and I just happened to overhear it" flashed through his mind.
Chen Jue seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said coldly, "Sit down."
"Zhang Tang!" Chen Jue raised his head again and shouted at the screen.
"Yes."
Zhang Tang's response came very quickly. In the time it took to respond, he had already flashed to the front of the screen with a pen and paper in his hand — as if he was already prepared and waiting for the adults to call him.
"…" Chen Jue.
"…" Xu Ting.
"…" Li Xiao blinked and couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. Why did Big Brother Wang and Lord Zhang suddenly appear …?
"Continue." Chen Jue pulled his chair forward from his reclining position to a sitting position.
He also changed his impatient and displeased attitude and looked at Xu Ting seriously.
"My sister was brought back and confined. She didn't go crazy, lose her mind, or lose her memory.
Instead, she kept crying — "Xu Ting said.
"She was frightened." Wang Yi frowned.
Xu Ting turned to look at him. Although he was still unhappy to see Wang Yi, he nodded seriously.
"She said that she lost control …" Xu Ting thought for a while and changed his wording. "She lost control of her own body."
Li Xiao pursed her lips and was a little surprised.
Her brother could move objects through space, but he could only move dead objects. He couldn't control animals or people.
"She —" Xu Ting wanted to continue but was interrupted by Chen Jue.
"Tell me more about losing control of your own body," Chen Jue said.
"It means that you can't control your own hands and feet. It's as if … you suddenly became a shadow puppet."
Xu Ting's expression darkened. Now that he recalled his sister's frightened eyes when she cried and said this, he still felt a chill in his heart.
"Yes." Chen Jue said.
"Grand Secretary Liu's family treasures Miss Wu very much. I'm afraid this matter won't end well.
My mother has been scolding my sister, but I believe my sister's words. This matter wasn't caused by my sister being jealous of Miss Wu's beauty and maliciously hurting her. "
Xu Ting sighed. "My sister is also a victim in this matter. Sir, I want to report this matter to the police and investigate thoroughly."
"…" Chen Jue was speechless.
"I need your help," Xu Ting said seriously.
Chen Jue frowned and thought for a while. "I'll go to Grand Secretary Liu's place in a while."
He was annoyed when he thought of what he said yesterday. "How can there be so many murder cases?"
"No one died in this matter. If it's determined … it's just a family farce.
If the Dali Monastery accepts the gift, I'm afraid … "Zhang Tang saw that Lord Chen was about to go to Lord Liu to reason with him. He was afraid that his master would cause trouble for no reason, so he couldn't help but say something.
Although the Su Wang's case had broadened their horizons — in this world, there really were f * cking people who were different from ordinary people!
But this didn't mean that all cases of injury could be thrown to the "supernatural people" who couldn't understand and didn't even know if they existed.
"…" Wang Yi was speechless.
He immediately knew from Chen Jue's behavior that he wanted to go to Grand Secretary Liu's residence that Lord Chen would definitely make a big deal out of this matter.
At that time, even if it was just a family quarrel, Lord Chen wouldn't be able to stop him if he wanted to investigate.
Wang Yi pursed his lips and turned to look at Xu Ting. He had just worked on a case with Lord Chen. Xu Ting could tell that Lord Chen was a person who dared to take on any case regardless of the rules.
Only when he came to Lord Chen could someone really investigate this kind of matter.
If he went to the Ministry of Justice or other official yamen, he would definitely be kicked out.
Wang Yi looked at Xu Ting's anxious and worried expression. He thought for a while and asked Chen Jue, "Lord, I'll go to Madam Ding's residence and ask about the situation that day."
Chen Jue tapped the table and said in a low voice, "Go."
Xu Ting turned to look at Wang Yi and immediately stood up. "Lord, I'll go to the other families who participated in Madam Ding's Flower Appreciating Banquet to investigate."
"…" Chen Jue glanced at Xu Ting and then looked at Wang Yi who had already walked out. He sneered and waved his hand.
Xu Ting pretended that he didn't see Lord Chen's sneer. He stood up and followed him out.
"Enemies." Zhang Tang turned to look at the two of them leaving the inner hall and sighed.
She looked like an old mother.
"…" Chen Jue retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Tang coldly.
Zhang Tang received Lord Chen's gaze and immediately sat up straight. Then, he thought for a while and hurriedly stood up. "Lord, I'll go and sort out Su King's case. Then, I'll register this case and prepare to file a case."
Chen Jue waved his hand again and Zhang Tang left.
"Come with me." Chen Jue tapped the table with his finger and looked at Li Xiao.
"Yes, Lord." Li Xiao suddenly stood up.
Everyone could figure out what to do next, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains.
Fortunately, Lord Chen gave her an order. Great, she didn't have to think about it herself!
"…" Chen Jue tilted his head and looked at the little girl who suddenly stood up beside him in shock.
If it wasn't for her beauty …
…
In the courtyard, Xu Ting quickly caught up with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi turned to look at Xu Ting and turned his head away awkwardly.
Xu Ting punched out like lightning.
Wang Yi grabbed his fist and glared at him.
Xu Ting snorted and pulled his hand back. As expected, Wang Yi let go.
With Wang Yi's skills, even three Xu Ting's wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
If Wang Yi wanted to fight with Xu Ting, he could have easily knocked down Xu Ting when Xu Ting punched him just now.
But he didn't.
Xu Ting shook his hand that was pinched by Wang Yi. Looking at Wang Yi's awkward expression, the anger in his heart fluctuated.
He was angry that this brat dared to ignore him. These days, all kinds of "how dare you" … Hmph!
But looking at his dispirited and wronged appearance, Xu Ting couldn't get angry.
Especially just now, Wang Yi restrained his strength and didn't dare to look at him, which made Xu Ting's heart soften.
He finally sighed. When they were about to reach the entrance of the North yamen of Dali Monastery —
"Don't you know that she's a slut?" Xu Ting said.
"Don't say that …" Wang Yi frowned and frowned, "She said I'm the best."
"She said the same about me." Maybe she said the same about everyone … Xu Ting didn't say the last sentence.
"…" Wang Yi was so sad that he couldn't speak. He didn't have the strength to say anything to Xu Ting.
"…" Xu Ting turned to look at Wang Yi. He saw that this handsome young man was as sad as a baby with a big beard.
"You're already great!
You don't need her to say it. "
Xu Ting finally gritted his teeth and snorted. He left these words in an especially deep and unhappy voice.
After saying that, he left the North yamen of Dali Monastery without looking back. He turned and walked north.
He straightened his back, leaving Wang Yi with a rigid back.
"…" Wang Yi.
