Chapter 698: Clever Wei Wei, The Case-Cracking Begins

The color of the wedding gown was too dark but with a hint of brightness, like fresh blood gushing out, intense and intimidating.

"First bow to the heavens!" Old Lady Wang sat on the rocking chair, playing the role of the wedding officiant. However, the scene was not beautiful to behold, because her face had started to stiffen and turn green. When she smiled, she looked all the more sinister.

Yan Liu'er did not want to bow, her whole body was shivering as she kneeled on the floor.

Wang Ling gave a thought before he apologized, he then reached out to press down on the back of Yan Liu'er's neck. "Liu'er, believe me, there's nothing bad about marrying me."

Yan Liu'er shook her head as tears slid down her cheeks. "No..."

Wang Ling felt sorry for her, but he clenched his teeth, and continued pushing his hand down. Once this women get married and lose their innocence, they have no choice except to be loyal to their spouses.

He really liked Liu'er.

When he thought about Liu'er becoming his wife, he got excited all over. So be it, he should use this opportunity to make her marry him!

Yan Liu'er continued to struggle. The people in the yard had not noticed that they have been surrounded by high ranking officials since everyone walked very silently.

After the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs got everything ready, he said to Helian Wei Wei, "Princess Consort, I've followed your instructions, we are ready to ambush. All our men are armed with the Dog Blood Red Rope, and they all have the lightness skill. Everything was done without alarming those people inside. Next, shall we barge in quickly to catch her off guard?"

Helian Wei Wei looked at the wooden door and pondered. At last, she shook her head. "No."

"Why?" The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs did not understand, did he missed something?

Helian Wei Wei caressed the huge black dog who was as tall as her. Slowly, she said, "Because I'm not sure if the person she has is dead or alive. We cannot sneak in nor can we barge in, in case she is holding someone hostage, which will then force us to be on the passive side."

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs could not help but admire Helian Wei Wei's mind. Even at this moment, the Princess Consort could still be so comprehensive!

"You guys stay here and wait to ambush," Helian Wei Wei directed the men with a clear mind. "No matter what comes out later, no one should touch it directly. Pull your Dog Blood Red Ropes tightly and stay in your respective positions."

"Yes," the officers replied lowly.

Helian Wei Wei turned to look at the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. "Lord Li, ask the people at the front door to step back to their left and right, hide themselves. His Highness and I will go and knock on the door."

"I'll follow His Highness and the Princess Consort! I'll be worried sick if you enter!" Judging from the amount of manpower used by the Princess Consort to capture these people, even having to use the Dog Blood Red Rope, they must be dealing with something devilish. How could he let her and His Highness enter without any guards? What if something happens? If he followed them he could help shield them! The expression in the Secretary's eyes was very earnest.

Baili Jia Jue turned around and glanced at him.

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs replied quickly, "Your Highness, my Four Pillars of Destiny are heavy, those filthy things have always followed me around since I was young, I..."

"You have a big belly, one look and everyone can tell you're an official." Baili Jia Jue cut his subordinate off slowly and steadily.

The officers almost burst into laughter, but it was obvious from their expressions that they had a hard time holding it in!

The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was speechless.

Is my belly really that big?

Okay, maybe it is a little big.

But Your Highness, did you really have to point it out?!

Being very conscious of his appearance, the Secretary glared to his left and right as a warning. He could not stand His Highness' sarcasm, and automatically gave up his intention to enter the yard. So he stuck to the wall and prepared for an ambush.

However, his belly was so big that no matter where he stood, a round silhouette was visible.

The officers had to move to the left and right to let him suck in his belly.

After everything was ready, Helian Wei Wei reached out with her hand, and knocked lightly on the Wang family's wooden door.

Knock, knock!

At that moment!

Wang Ling, who was bowing to his parents, froze, and immediately looked at Old Lady Wang. "Mother!"

"What are you anxious about, it's just somebody knocking on the door." Old Lady Wang frowned, but compared to Wang Ling, she was far more calm.

Because she was sure that even if they wanted to investigate, she had that brat from the Zhang family as a scapegoat.

She had nothing to fear!

In comparison to the Wang mother and son, Yan Liu'er's face finally glowed with hope after experiencing total despair. She opened her mouth, trying to make a sound, even if it was only a weak sound.

Old Lady Wang glowered at her viciously, her fingers quickly reached over to press the knockout drops she prepared beforehand onto Yan Liu'er's mouth and nose!

Yan Liu'er reached her hands out, but they could only move a little before she passed out completely.

Perhaps Old Lady Wang was used to doing these things, so she looked extremely composed.

On the other hand, Wang Ling was soaked in sweat. Of course he was afraid, especially when there was someone knocking on their door.

Old Lady Wang looked at him fiercely. "Ah Ling, listen to Mother, nothing is going to happen. Liu'er had just disappeared, nobody will notice that so soon. It's probably someone trying to investigate the situation. Some officials came two days ago as well, right? They're just asking some questions, following protocol, if you act normal and answer all their questions, nothing bad will happen. Later when you open the door, ask why they are here, if they're here for investigation, open the door." Just then, Old Lady Wang paused as if she thought of something, she then continued, "If they say it's nothing, it means we might have a problem, so don't open the door..."

Listening to Old Lady Wang's words, Wang Ling was still a little worried, but he knew how he should act.

At this point, he could not turn back.

He was a scholar-to-be, he must not get any dirt on him. Moreover, there had been three deaths already. If the officials find out anything, his mother would be beheaded!

He must not let that happen!

He simply had to follow his mother's instructions, and answer calmly.

There would be no problems.

Because nobody would relate the missing people with the Wang family.

It will definitely be okay!

Wang Ling hastily wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. He took a deep breath, then bent to pick a book up from the wooden table before walking toward the door.

"Who is it?" Wang Ling tried to let his voice sound as natural as possible.

However, Helian Wei Wei, who was an expert in psychology, heard his real emotions through his uneven breaths. This Wang Ling was very anxious!

Did something happen in the yard?

Helian Wei Wei abandoned her words of a private visit, quickly changing her greeting. She spoke through the wooden door, "We're from the official authority, and we're here to look for information. We would like to have an interview with you about Zhang Yu..."
