The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 691: The Complicated Case, Second Slap In The Face

Helian Wei Wei just recalled that all feng shui specialists would have bronze coins with them. The yellows runes would only be used when they can carry out the exorcism. However, she and His Highness had skipped the bronze coins and directly gave Yan Liu’er the yellow rune. It was illogical, no wonder the Second Master Zhang was able to surmise that they came here with other intentions.

Initially, Lord Zhang was anxious because he received the information that the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was going to investigate the crime personally. In fact, he was distressed over this matter.

Once a thorough crime investigation in this alley commences, it would be almost impossible for his beloved son to not be implicated.

Now, everything would be alright since they have themselves the scapegoats.

“Officers, take these two suspects that were pretending to be feng shui specialists away!” As Lord Zhang glanced at the two people, he had set his heart on solving the case with them.

Helian Wei Wei knew what Lord Zhang was thinking after observing his actions. Her lips curled up into a faint smile. “Lord Zhang, you are arresting us simply because of a speech by your son, isn’t that too arbitrary? Aren’t you concerned that you might end up doing others injustice? ”

“The ones arrested by me tend to argue that they had suffered injustice” Lord Zhang briefly looked at Helian Wei Wei with a cold expression: “However, even the most dauntless of them could not get away with anything, not on my watch!”

Helian Wei Wei laughed, “What about your son? Since Lord Zhang is so wise and smart, you must have realized that all the missing victims were acquainted to your son. Furthermore, they had maintained contact with him for a period of time. On the other hand, we just came here to study the feng shui, but Lord Zhang wanted to arrest us. Shouldn’t your son be the prime suspect since he had relations with all of the missing victims?”

The expression on Lord Zhang’s face changed abruptly after he listened to her words.

Hints of guilt appeared on Lord Zhang’s face.

The people who were standing at their front doors to watch the commotion had completely stopped their movements. All their attention was now directed toward Zhang Yu.

One of them was a woman who was dressed in linen clothing. Shakily, she addressed Zhang Yu, “Master Zhang, was it you? My Ling’er had went out that day to see you! But she never came back after that! I thought I was the one with an overactive imagination, but you also met others apart from Ling’er? What did you take Ling’er for? She broke off her engagement with Old Lady Wang’s son because of you, you scum!”

The woman tried to grab at Zhang Yu’s clothes as she spoke!

“Are you done yapping, old lady?” Zhang Yu pushed her away in disgust. His disdain toward the woman was obvious.

The woman twisted her ankles and would have fallen to the ground if Helian Wei Wei did not catch her from behind.

Zhang Yu continued in a disapproving manner, “Me? Scum? You think too highly of that daughter of yours. She tried making advances to me each time she saw me. To be honest, I never thought that I would fancy her, but she was so initiative. I only did a little sweet talking, yet she started to think so highly of herself, did she think that I would marry her? Has she ever thought of looking at her background? Having a bit of fun together is fine, given that she was still quite pretty. However, if she longed to be part of the Zhang Family, she would have to be able to withstand the loneliness. Her fiance was merely away for a few days and she was already trying to seduce me, asking someone to pass me a letter in the middle of the night. All these were done by your beloved daughter. Her impatience was totally eye-opening.”

“You, you!” The woman was breathless from being angered by Zhang Yu’s words.

Zhang Yu laughed once and continued, “Moreover, the engagement with Old Lady Wang’s son was broken off by you yourself, wasn’t it? Everyone was present on that day, do you still remember what you said to that scholar? Oh yeah, you mentioned that they would never become successful in life. And Ling’er would be more prosperous if she was with me, you told them to be sensible and to quickly agree with breaking off their engagement. To say that I am scum, why don’t you take a look at the both of you and your excessive vanity? I gave up being with Ling’er because I saw through her. Even so, she kept pursuing me shamelessly, it was literally impossible to shake her off.”

The woman immediately became speechless since that was exactly what she had said previously. Her face turned red as she looked at her neighbors.

Her words from that time were still fresh in their minds, hence no one stuck up for her.

When the woman looked around and saw no one willing to lend her a helping hand, she fell to the ground and started to cry, “My poor Ling’er, you were ruined in such a way!”

Zhang Yu could not be bothered by her as he tidied his clothes.

Upon witnessing the situation, Helian Wei Wei did not help the woman like she did before.

Although the Second Master Zhang was a terrible person, there was not much to discern between him and Ling’er’s family given the current situation.

No wonder Liu’er’s mother hesitated when she mentioned about these young girls.

Helian Wei Wei conjectured that she wanted to describe Ling’er as indecent but worried that it would stir things up if she did so, therefore, she decided to change her description entirely.

It was true that all these young girls wished to marry someone who was rich and powerful. Second Master Zhang had the looks in addition to his sweet talking skills when coaxing girls, not to mention his admirable status, which definitely appealed to the young girls. It was convenient for him to maintain ambiguous relationships with whoever he wanted.

If it was not due to the fact that the Path of Reincarnation would be affected, Helian Wei Wei would normally not want to be involved with such cases.

To her, it was an abusive cycle with one party willing to hit and another party willing to suffer.

There were plenty of such cases in reality.

Certain people did not know how to love themselves and were willing to go to a hotel with some stranger they met on the internet. In the end, they were murdered.

Helian Wei Wei could not understand why, with so many realistic examples out there, some of the ladies were still willing to breach their principles just to have their own absurd Cinderella story.

To even break off an engagement for that reason?

Helian Wei Wei’s fingers paused, break off the engagement?

Heh, when you compare like that, Yan Liu’er was much cuter.

Helian Wei Wei smiled at Yan Liu’er as she thought about this.

Yan Liu’er blinked in bewilderment, puzzled by Helian Wei Wei’s unaccountable smile.

Baili Jia Jue pulled Helian Wei Wei to his side in a dominating manner and asked in a low voice, “Why are you smiling randomly?”

Helian Wei Wei was lost for words, she was not smiling randomly.

“Do not smile at others except for me after this.” Baili Jia Jue stated with a plain look on his face.

Despite that, the brilliant Helian Wei Wei sniffed out the jealousy in his words. She felt helpless since it was Yan Liu’er who took a fancy to His Highness. Supposingly, she was the one that should be jealous...

Lord Zhang assessed the current situation and darkened his eyes. He turned to Helian Wei Wei and said, “I had underestimated you, you managed to put the blame on Yu’er with a few sentences, how capable! Do you think that you could rid yourself of suspicion and continue to be at large by doing so? Yet you dared to continue joking around! Who do you take me for?! Take them away!”
