Out of curiosity, she had once gone to check out the Yan family's old house, but the old house with its long history seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and no matter what she did, she could not glean any information from inside...
She even asked her master about this.
However, the result was a stern rebuke from her master, telling her not to provoke those she shouldn't!
So, what secret is this man hiding?!
Hu Yue was extremely curious!
Now that she had another opportunity to get closer to him, Hu Yue didn't intend to miss it; she had already planned it out before she came. Men of Yan Di's status, regardless of what they thought in their hearts, would generally not hesitate to show their gentlemanly side to the outside world.
Therefore, since she displayed such a humble and polite attitude from the beginning, even if the King of Hell had great dissatisfaction with them, he probably wouldn't make things difficult for her in front of so many people.
She glanced discreetly at the man reclining on the sofa, his expression unchanged. Such refined and elegant bearing—no wonder so many socialites from prominent families flocked to him; it was truly…
"Although your scent has faded considerably, it still can't hide the lingering body odor inherited from your ancestors!"
However, before the King of Hell could respond, Song Mengmeng, who had been leisurely enjoying the scenery by the window, spoke first. She abandoned her previous carefree demeanor and, like a small animal whose territory had been invaded, bared her teeth and claws, issuing the most direct warning and threat to the intruder: "Can't you foxes find mates? You have to steal other people's to find them appealing?!"
The little girl looked genuinely furious. She ran over in a few steps and stood in front of Yan Di, blocking Hu Yue's view. Her breathing was rapid, and she made no attempt to hide her anger. The tuft of hair on her head stood up because of her rage, making her look exactly like a little beast with its fur standing on end.
Hu Yue never expected that before she could even use her charm, this young girl would expose her so rudely. In front of everyone, such a direct rebuke was like peeling off her face and stomping on it. No matter how well-mannered or thick-skinned she was, she couldn't hold back anymore.
"Young lady, you can't say things like that." Hu Yue tried hard to keep her smile from faltering, and looked at the wary Song Mengmeng, she reluctantly explained, "I just came to apologize to Young Master Di, I really didn't mean anything else. You..."
“This is my wife.” Yan Di reached out and pulled the flustered little guy into his arms, patting his back to soothe him. Then, before Hu Yue could finish explaining, he slowly corrected her address: “Inspector Hu, I find it very disrespectful to address my wife as ‘little girl’ here. Please be mindful of your wording.”
"I apologize, it was my rudeness." Yan Di's straightforward defense was completely unreasonable. No matter how shocked and unbelievable what he said was to Hu Yue, she could not question it at this moment. She could only follow Yan Di's correction and politely bow slightly to the little girl in his arms who was still struggling and was obviously not calmed down: "Mrs. Yan, I am very sorry that you have misunderstood."
"You've come here to continue what you didn't finish before, to get my wife's bracelet, right?" Yan Di didn't intend to waste time with this group of people, especially since the little one in his arms was clearly angry. He was even less likely to stay here and get entangled with them any longer.
He raised his hand to rub his temples, his tone still calm and indifferent: "On what basis do you special operations team conclude that this murder was committed by the evil spirit living in my wife's bracelet?!"
Just because a murder occurred on the ship that cannot be explained by normal science?!
And the vengeful spirit is a non-human being that you can detect?! So, just because of your incompetence, you're going to convict someone completely unrelated to this matter?!
"Young Master, what do you mean by that?" Hu Yue didn't speak, but Song Bangguo, who was standing not far behind her, couldn't help but speak up. After all, the murder case that Emperor Yan mentioned so casually involved his precious daughter who had died!
To try and sever this rare lead with just a casual remark seems rather arbitrary, doesn't it?
"What I mean is, this special operations team that came this time is really incompetent." Song Mengmeng peeked out from Yan Di's arms, giving Song Bangguo, who was aggressively confronting Yan Di, a rather impolite look. Then she glanced at the group of special operations team members standing there, whose entire assessment of her had been completely dismissed by her words. With a hint of dissatisfaction, she pointed at Greta, who was giggling and watching the drama unfold next to Guan Sanshao: "You couldn't even detect the real culprit of this massacre right next to you. What else can you call it but incompetence?!"
"Little one, it's not very nice of you to drag your older sister into this for no reason!" Grellus never expected that she would be caught up in the gossip herself. After her initial shock, she couldn't help but giggle. She slowly took two steps forward, her eyes filled with greed and determination as she looked at Song Mengmeng: "I thought you had already forgotten about your older sister, but I didn't expect you to still remember!"
"I may not remember you, but I should remember that disgusting fishy smell you emanate!" She wouldn't back down, even if she couldn't win a fight, she was certainly not afraid to argue: "The legendary siren, I never expected you to be such a cowardly coward!"
"You can't blame me for this. I never said I didn't kill Miss Song! It's just that none of them noticed my presence. They insisted on going to find your evil spirit. What could I do? Anyway, this isn't the first time that evil spirit has been blamed. What's the harm in taking the blame again?!" As Grero spoke, her appearance underwent a dramatic transformation in front of everyone.
Her long, seaweed-like hair reached her ankles, and her already fair skin appeared even paler and more sinister, resembling that of a medieval witch. Her pale face was adorned with heavy eyeshadow and lipstick. As she revealed her true form, she didn't forget to extend a fatal invitation to Song Mengmeng: "Little darling, would you like to come play in the sea with your big sister?!"
"Thanks for the invitation, but your true face is so ugly it makes me cringe!" Song Mengmeng dodged the siren's claws that were swinging at her expressionlessly. The next moment, she was about to retaliate when someone grabbed her waist from behind. The next second, the siren that was screaming and attacking was kicked away by Yan Di like a cannonball!
