Chapter 97
Since it was the king's order, the law enforcement team rushed over at the fastest speed.
The leading man was wearing a simple and neat black uniform. Under his chestnut hair, there was a pair of gentle and affectionate black eyes. He smiled like a big brother next door. It was completely impossible to tell that he was the emperor's first mad dog and the ruthless ruler of the law enforcement team.
"Huo Shan has seen His Majesty."
"Yes." The golden-haired emperor waved his hand, "It's just a small matter. Thank you
for your hard work." "It's my honor to serve His Majesty."
Huo Shan had already learned the whole story from General Lin Xueyang on the way. He scanned the circle without leaving a trace, and when he scanned Xia Yan, he stayed for a few more seconds.
He had met this distinguished young master several times at banquets before.
To be honest, he didn't think highly of him.
Compared with the eloquent and scheming Grover, Xia Yan's character can be seen through at a glance, and he will not hide himself at all.
The arrogance and cold-bloodedness in his bones do not meet the current emperor's requirements for the heir.
The king gave him the surname Gardner, but did not let him be the crown prince. This approach is not so much about valuing him as it is to use him as a whetstone to hone Grover.
Huo Shan has followed the king for hundreds of years and can more or less understand his thoughts.
It was precisely because he did not believe that Xia Yan could ascend the throne, so when he heard that his son and Xia Yan had an appointment for a duel, he was not moved at all.
If he loses, the worst that can happen is that he can do something secretly and let his son assist Grover.
It's funny to say that the thousand-year-old Duke Xia, who never shows his emotions and goes around in circles with his words, actually gave birth to a "naive" son.
Some things are slow to say, but in fact only a moment has passed.
Huo Shan put away his inner thoughts, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "I have understood the matter clearly. Please cooperate with our investigation, two students."
"Yes."
Xia Yan nodded.
The matter has been settled, and there is no point in him struggling.
The original owner treated the common people with condescension and disdain, but he had a good attitude towards people of the same noble family... especially the nobles with real power.
Not to mention... the king is still here.
No matter how stupid he is, he would not refuse to cooperate at this time.
Xia Yan calmed himself down, raised his chin, and curled his thick eyelashes like butterfly wings, leaving a small shadow on his lower eyelid.
"What should I do?"
He had been here for more than ten days, and his soul and body were almost integrated. His facial features were already eight points similar to his original appearance.
The young man's skin was as white as jade, his jawline was tight and smooth, his lips were naturally red, and the most important thing was his eyes, with the tails of his eyes slightly upturned, his eyes were lively and bright, lighting up the whole picture.
Huo Shan was stunned for a moment.
That is the instinctive reaction of a person being startled.
He lowered his head and coughed twice to cover up, muttering in his heart, every part of the young man's face is obviously the same as before, why is it that when combined together... it is more beautiful than before?
It does not refer to feminine beauty, but the beauty that blends gorgeousness and heroism.
You can tell at a glance that he is a man, but you still think he is handsome.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xia Yan asked in confusion: "Prosecutor?"
"..." Huo Shan came to his senses, and after asking a few questions symbolically, he stretched out his right hand: "...Well, okay. Please hand over the smart computer to me, classmate Xia."
"?"
Xia Yan frowned: "What do you want the smart computer for?"
Huo Shan saw his vigilant look, and inexplicably felt a bit of mischief in his heart: "We need to use the smart computer to check the source of the information, of course..."
He stretched out the tail sound: "...It's fake."
Xia Yan: "..."
"If I don't take away your smart computer, how can others believe that you didn't secretly contact Duke Xia in the dark." Huo Shan lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Xia Yan said with a light "tsk". "Trouble."
He glanced at the blond emperor lightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, took off the smart computer on his wrist, and threw it over neatly.
"I believe that with the ability of the law enforcement team, they should be able to complete the investigation 'soon'." He emphasized the word 'soon'.
Xia Yan himself didn't mind the smart computer being taken away, but if he acted too submissive, it would not be in line with the arrogant personality of the original owner.
Huo Shan smiled and said nothing.
Compared with Xia Yan's calm cooperation, the other party, Hans, reacted a little too much. His evasive eyes and rapid breathing all showed his uneasiness.
The law enforcement team has handled countless cases and seen all kinds of prisoners.
Seeing this situation, what else is there to understand? With this kind of mentality, he still dares to mess around. Who gave him the courage?
Huo Shan treated everyone equally and took away Hans's smart computer.
After the matter was handled, everyone watched the emperor and the law enforcement team leave, and then took out their smart computers and posted crazily to release their inner excitement.
Some expressed their loyalty to the king, some flattered him, and some angrily scolded Hans for embarrassing himself in front of the king.
As for Xia Yan's cheating? Are you kidding?
They even dared to invite the law enforcement team.
Is there any need to say anything about this?
Someone was unwilling to give up and posted weakly: [Even if Xia Yan didn't cheat, he really got the information provided by the family! This is too unfair to other students. ]
[The students in Class A didn't say anything, why are you so anxious? 】
【Our school has no shortage of students with good family backgrounds. Huo Ruihe is also a noble and has S-level mental power, but why is Xia Yan the chief? Is it difficult to admit that others are excellent? 】
【Huo Ruihe: First of all... I didn't offend any of you. 】
【What the OP said is as ridiculous as shouting that it's unfair when other people's parents spend money to send their sons to cram schools and you don't have the money to go. 】
【But in some ways, it is indeed unfair! 】
...
Except for a very few weirdos who agree with the original poster, most of the cadets are still rational.
The forum was bustling, but Xia Yan, who didn't have an intelligent computer, couldn't see anything. He was sitting in the cafeteria, staring at his empty wrist in a daze.
Damn it! What's he going to do with dinner without an intelligent computer to pay for it?
The original owner's two little followers were not around, and there was no way to contact them. If he borrowed money... it would be too embarrassing, and his personality would collapse! If he had known this, he wouldn't have chased away a few teammates at the No. 1 training ground, so that he could at least have a meal.
Xia Yan has always attracted attention, and today he cheated again, and everyone on the forum was discussing him.
At this time, he was slow to order, and someone couldn't help but secretly took a photo and posted it on the forum.
#The confused chief is inexplicably cute. #
[What is he doing, playing big-eyed glare with the robot? Haha.]
[I have a bold guess.]
[No money? 233333]
[Hahahaha sorry I laughed so loudly, it's the first time I saw the confused expression of Master Xia, I want to rub it, sisters stop taking pictures, pay for Master Xia.]
OP: [I want to too, but I don't dare.]
Xia Yan's arrogant character is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even though he showed a little softness at this time, people still dare not approach him casually.
Students secretly observed him, and there were a few nobles in the distance, eager to approach him.
Just as they were preparing to act, a tall man with blond hair and sky-blue eyes sat down next to the young man. It was Xia Yan's roommate, Ludwig.
Everyone: "..." Damn! It's too late.
Xia Yan had been struggling with whether to leave or not, and didn't pay attention to his surroundings. He was also surprised when Ludwig suddenly sat down.
The actual combat training is over. Is their relationship good enough to have dinner together?
To be honest, when he was slandered in the training ground before, Xia Yan was worried that Ludwig would become weird like the protagonists of the previous two worlds.
But when he heard them say that it was for the innocence of the team, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, he bullies Ludwig every day, and the other party is just enduring for practical training. He thinks too much.
System: [Uh...]
Wait... In this case, dinner is solved!
The young man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile. But... it requires some strategy.
When Ludwig ordered, he immediately opened his mouth and followed suit. Considering that Ludwig is just an ordinary student now and may not have much money, the things he chose are relatively affordable.
While ordering, Xia Yan paid attention to the man's expression. When he saw him frown, he immediately perked up, knowing that the most important step was coming.
He held his head high, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly: "I'll give you a chance, treat me..." to a meal.
Ludwig: "I remember you didn't eat these things before."
The voices of the two people rang at the same time.
Xia Yan was stunned by his question, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence. He nodded in confusion.
Ludwig said to the robot: "Cut out all the dishes he just ordered."
Xia Yan: "..." Failed to eat for free?
Before he could think of a solution, he heard Ludwig fluently recite a bunch of familiar dishes, marbled beef, caviar... and even a flashy gold foil sundae.
All of them were things he often ordered before.
Xia Yan: "???"
Robot: "Your dishes have been ordered. Please raise your smart brain and touch to pay... Ding! Twelve thousand and thirty-one interstellar coins have been received. Thank you for your patronage."
After Ludwig finished everything, he turned his head, looked at Xia Yan steadily, and said firmly: "I have money, you don't have to wrong yourself."
Xia Yan looked dazed.
For a dinner, the protagonist paid for it himself, and then he ate ordinary meat for 136 yuan, and he ate high-end ingredients for more than 10,000 yuan.
Where did this sucker come from?
Xia Yan was silent for three seconds: [System, am I still asleep?]
