Zu An reacted quickly, his expression changing only for a moment before returning to normal: "Who is Zu An? Could he be the lady's lover?"
Yu Yanluo glanced at him sideways: "How dare you say that to my face?"
Zu An broke out in a cold sweat. What was wrong with this woman? She had all sorts of trump cards up her sleeve, and now she even knew my identity?
Is she trying to scam me?
But how could they accurately call out my name? It can't just be a coincidence, can it?
Could it be that she also has a system that can detect real names?
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Yu Yanluo spoke up: "I've been wondering about you ever since. I feel a strange sense of familiarity about you, but because you're so well disguised, I couldn't figure out who you are for a moment."
"Until later, when you came out of the world in the painting, I was sleeping in bed without much clothing. After you subdued me, you saw that my shoulders were exposed to the air and specially pulled the blanket over me. At first, I thought you were a gentleman, so I was very polite to you."
"But then you... tied me up like that, and took out all sorts of weird drugs. I knew then that you were no gentleman at heart. But if you weren't a gentleman, why were you unmoved by those temptations? I may not be a seductress, but I consider myself quite charming. There aren't many men in the world who could resist me when I'm naked. And you're not the gentleman I imagined. So there's only one possibility: you know me, and you're quite close to me."
Zuan snorted: "That doesn't prove that I'm the person you're talking about."
Hearing his tone, Yu Yanluo smiled faintly: "With this premise, it's easy to judge. Although I know quite a few people, few would dare to do such a thing, and your behavior just now was also very different from those acquaintances."
"And you are particularly concerned about Yan You's disappearance, and you have repeatedly questioned Jian Taiding about his collusion with the demon race in smuggling. Now, the most interested party in Yunzhong County is none other than the imperial envoy."
"Among the entire imperial envoy delegation, only three people have the ability to sneak into my room. Sang Hong is an old man, which is not his style. Besides you, the mysterious Golden Token Eleven among the Embroidered-Robed Envoys is also possible, but the only one who can produce the dragon tendon to bind me is you, Zu An. Back then, during the Crown Prince's examination, you helped the Crown Prince obtain the tendon of the eighth-grade Heavenly Azure Moon Dragon. This matter is not a secret to those who are interested."
"And you are so familiar with what's happening in the back mountains of the National Academy, there's no one else but you."
After hearing her analysis, Zuan was shocked and full of admiration: "Madam is truly a reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes."
"Who is Sherlock Holmes?" Yu Yanluo murmured the name, her mind racing as she tried to recall which famous person in the world had the surname "Holmes".
"Uh, a detective with godlike reasoning skills," Zuan casually replied, covering up the situation.
Now that his identity had been recognized, there was no need for him to deny it anymore. His expression shifted between light and dark before gradually returning to his original appearance.
Witnessing the entire process, Yu Yanluo was incredibly surprised: "What kind of ability is this? You actually transformed yourself!"
She initially thought the other party had used some kind of magical artifact, such as a mysterious mask on their face, but she never expected that they had simply transformed.
This ability is truly amazing!
Zuan smiled helplessly: "The first time I used it, you still figured it out."
Yu Yanluo said seriously, "I was able to see through it because of my special ability in painting. I noticed the slight inconsistency in your attire. No one else would have been able to see through it."
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt something strange in her body and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Are you planning to keep me tied up like this forever?"
"I'll untie you right now." Since her identity had already been exposed, there was no point in pressing her for answers anymore, and there was no point in keeping her tied up.
He walked behind her and began to untie the bindings on her hands. He hadn't noticed it when he was interrogating her, but now that they were so close, seeing her strange, contorted posture and smelling her body fragrance so close to his mouth, no man could help but have impure thoughts: "Ahem, I apologize for my rudeness, please forgive me, Madam."
He had barely opened a gap when Yu Yanluo twisted gently, her entire body slipping out of the crevice as smoothly as a beautiful snake.
Zuan's eyes widened in disbelief; this flexibility was simply outrageous!
"Hmph, weren't you quite imposing when you were interrogating me just now? Why are you acting all high and mighty now?" Yu Yanluo rubbed her wrist and glared at Zu An with annoyance.
Zuan was a little embarrassed: "That was different just now, mainly for the purpose of investigating the case."
"Heh, someone uses aphrodisiacs to investigate cases?" Yu Yanluo looked at him strangely. "You disguise yourself as someone's husband in the middle of the night to enter a woman's boudoir, and you're carrying so many random drugs. You wouldn't happen to be a womanizer in secret, would you?"
As she continued speaking, her expression turned serious and dangerous.
"Absolutely not!" Zuan was unwilling to take the blame. "I just acquired this ability by chance not long ago, and I just learned it. I used it on you the first time."
Yu Yanluo spat lightly, her jade cheeks slightly flushed: "You're quite audacious, trying to bully me on our first time together."
"I'm innocent! I was really investigating a case. I never intended to do anything despicable or shameless." Zu An himself felt a little guilty as he explained. Indeed, he had disguised himself as her husband and gone to her bed in the middle of the night, which looked like he had ulterior motives.
