In the dim water dungeon, the air was chilly and water droplets slowly slid down the stone walls, making tiny and eerie echoes.

After Wen Fang stepped into this secluded place, his eyes became cold and stern.

The flickering torches stretched his shadow out and projected it onto the mottled wall, adding a bit of majesty.

The two guards responded and worked together to slowly lift the heavy iron cage. The iron chains made a harsh sound, which startled a few restless mice in the corner. They squeaked and fled in all directions.

Wen Fang glanced at those disgusting things. What he hated most was coming to the water dungeon.

Not only is it damp here, but there is also an indescribable stench that makes people feel sick.

Li Quande and Chen Yiyi were soaked, pale, and curled up in a ball. They were thrown roughly onto the cold stone floor. They were trembling, with fear and unwillingness in their eyes.

Wen Fang fanned the air with his hand in disdain, then walked up to Li Quande and Chen Yiyi and asked, "Are you Li Quande?"

Li Quande now looked up and saw that the person in front of him was just a child. He snorted coldly: "Call your young master here, no... even if you call your young master here, it's useless!"

"I want to go to the palace to see His Majesty!"

Wen Fang kicked Li Quande to the ground, then leaned over and grabbed Li Quande by the collar: "Master Li, what do you mean by this?"

"You can look down on me, but what is your attitude towards our young master?"

"With your current condition, you still dream of entering the palace."

"Where's the face?"

Li Quande opened Wen Fang's hand and said, "I have nothing to say to you."

"No matter what, I am a third-rank official of the Shangzhou Governorate! You can't do anything to me without the emperor's permission!"

"If he wants to talk to me, it has to be Shen Yelin himself! Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"You have no right to talk to me!"

When Wen Fang heard this, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and a barely perceptible cunning gleam flashed in his bright eyes.

He did not respond immediately, but slowly walked to the side, took out a finely carved token from his sleeve, and shook it gently. The word "Imperial Order" on the token shone brightly in the firelight.

"Master Li, you seem to have forgotten that our young master has an "imperial order."

"Although this token is small, it can lead directly to the emperor...at any time."

"Such an important token, my young master can give it to me..."

Wen Fang's voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty, "As for whether I am qualified to talk to you, you should know it in your heart."

"Don't even think about going to see His Majesty. Our young master has already informed the higher-ups about your situation."

Li Quande narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't fool me with these words! The palace gates are closed at night. Unless there is something extremely urgent, you can only enter when the palace gates open the next morning."

"Besides, the imperial decree is still in your hands. Shen Yelin cannot go to His Majesty!"

"And..." When Li Quande said this, he showed a sinister smile: "And you are not the only one who is prepared. I have always been cautious."

"I had already left myself a plan before I decided to do this."

"You want to put me to death, but I will fight to the death and survive. You still can't do anything to me."

Wen Fang chuckled: "Your so-called method is to have your party members wait outside the palace gate so that they can meet His Majesty early in the morning."

"Li Quande, those so-called backhands and trump cards you have, including yourself, are as white as blank paper in our eyes."

"We have studied you thoroughly."

"You want to pin your hopes on them, but I can only tell you that it's useless."

"Not only can they not help you, they can't even protect themselves now. They just haven't realized it yet."

Li Quande frowned angrily: "What on earth do you want to do!"

Wen Fang said calmly, "You, the Governor, know best what we want to do."

"I will not interrogate you today. Wait until your "good friends" come in. After I have interrogated them, I will interrogate you."

After leaving these words, Wen Fang strode away. Before leaving, he said, "Continue to throw him into the water dungeon and tie him up."

Guards: “Yes!”

Chen Yiyi did not have as good a mental quality as Li Quande. When she heard that she was going to be locked up in a water dungeon, she began to struggle desperately. It took two guards to drag her away.

"No, no! I don't want to go in there! I don't want to go! No!"

"I beg you, as long as you don't let me stay in here, I will give you as much money as you want."

One of the guards laughed and said, "You are resisting going into the water dungeon because you are afraid that those who were drowned by you will become water ghosts and come looking for you?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Yiyi was frightened and trembled uncontrollably. Her whole mind began to become a little dazed.

Chen Yiyi: "No, it's impossible. They will never turn into ghosts to find me, because..."

Li Quande suddenly roared: "Enough! Shut up!"

Li Quande frightened Chen Yiyi so much that she shut her mouth immediately. She looked at Li Quande with horror. After a while, she said, "But Master..."

"I told you to shut up!" Li Quande obviously had lost his patience. Given Chen Yiyi's current state, she might confess everything in a panic.

I shouldn't have let her get involved in this in the first place... I'm really impatient.

The guard following Wen Fang looked puzzled: "Sir, are we really not going to try him?"

Wen Fang: "No judgement."

Guard: "But if we interrogate him today, wouldn't it be easier to give an explanation to His Majesty tomorrow?"

Wen Fang said as he sorted out his clothes, "Li Quande is very cautious and he won't speak easily."

"But the woman next to him is not as good as him. If she wants to pry open some things, she will start with Chen Yiyi."

"Not rushing to try them is firstly to wear down their mental state, and secondly to wait for the right time."

"As for when it will be, you will know when it arrives."

The guard nodded: "I understand."

Suddenly Wen Fang remembered something: "By the way, I heard that the young master has a little girl with him now?"

Guard: "Well, I heard from others that the girl is very cute and smart."

Wen Fang: "Really? Where is she now?"

Guard: "I don't know about that, but go ask the servants in the mansion, they will definitely know."

Wen Fang: “Okay.”

After Wen Fang came out of the dungeon, he rushed directly back to Luo Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he grabbed a servant and asked, "Do you know where the young master is now?"

The servant had long been accustomed to Wen Fang's impulsiveness. He was suspended in the air by his collar and feet, and his expression remained calm: "The young master is naturally in his own room."

Wen Fang asked again: "The young lady of the Luo family is also with the young master?"

The servant nodded: "I heard that she was injured, and the young master is now guarding her."

Wen Fang let the man go only after he finished speaking.

"If you have nothing else to do, I will leave now."

"Ah."

Wen Fang walked towards Shen Yelin's room, and as he walked he wondered, would his young master have a little girl by his side?

It's outrageous just to hear it.

Moreover, with the young master’s ghost-attracting physique, wouldn’t the little girl be scared to death?

Why do I feel like what they say is so unreliable? Are they lying to me?

Forget it, never mind, let’s go and take a look first. I must find out the truth today.

After walking for a long time, Wen Fang finally arrived at Shen Yelin's door.

Before knocking on the door, Wen Fang straightened his clothes once again. After making sure there was no problem, he knocked on the door gently.

Shen Yelin: "Who?"

Wen Fang: "Young Master, it's me."

Shen Yelin's vigilant look was finally retracted: "How are Li Quande and Chen Yiyi doing?"

Wen Fang: "According to the young master's instructions, I did not interrogate him. I just went to have a face-to-face meeting."

Shen Yelin: "Well, well done."

Wen Fang: "Young Master..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yelin interrupted him: "Anything else?"

Wen Fang coughed lightly and said, "Master, you haven't seen me for a few days. You didn't even ask me to come in and sit for a while, but locked me out."

Shen Yelin said coldly: "It's inconvenient."

Wen Fang: “Ah?”

Shen Yelin knew what Wen Fang wanted to do, so he said directly: "If you want to see her, just say so. No need to beat around the bush."

Wen Fang smiled awkwardly: "The young master still found out."

Shen Yelin: "She is resting now and is injured. You will disturb her if you come in."

"It won't be too late to see her when she wakes up."

Seeing Shen Yelin said so, Wen Fang had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll leave first then."

Shen Yelin: "Wait."

Wen Fang was a little confused: "Young Master, what else do you want?"

Shen Yelin: "I only gave you three days of rest. You know how many days you have been lazy at home."

"I'll deduct half of this month's salary from you."

"If you don't want to, go and get a hundred lashes. It's your choice."

Wen Fang was angry but dared not speak out. He could only hold back his dissatisfaction and said, "Yes, I understand. Just deduct the monthly salary."

Shen Yelin: “Yeah.”

Wen Fang was now filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he should not have come to see Shen Yelin at this time.

Judging from his tone, he is not in a good mood now.

Alas...his young master is a master, don't provoke him if you are in a bad mood, whoever provokes him will suffer.

He just wanted to see what the girl looked like, but he didn't even get to see her and half a month's money was gone.

Alas... I am really asking for trouble.

After Wen Fang left, Shen Yelin continued writing in the notebook. It was all about what happened to Luo Xueyun today. But more importantly, Shen Yelin wrote the names of Li Quande, Chen Yiyi, Xu Donghua, and Luo Mingjian at the end.

And the names of these people were all marked with a red cross.

There are two people named Xu Donghua and Luo Mingjian. It is easy to imagine how miserable their fate will be next.

By provoking Luo Xueyun, they had basically kicked Shen Yelin's back.

Luo Xueyun has an agreement and cannot take action for the time being, but Shen Yelin is different. He has no agreement with anyone...

He will kill anyone who makes him unhappy.

Luo Xueyun gradually woke up at noon the next day. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the next second, severe pain spread throughout her body.

For a moment, Luo Xueyun felt that her body was in so much pain that it seemed as if it was about to be torn apart.

"hiss………"

Shen Yelin frowned in worry: "Take the painkillers."

Luo Xueyun endured the pain and responded softly: "Yeah."

Shen Yelin: "I'll ask someone to call Wang Qianzhi over now."

Luo Xueyun: "Okay."

After Shen Yelin came back, Luo Xueyun slowly asked, "Brother Shen, is my mother okay?"

Shen Yelin: "She's fine. I'll pick her up after the Luo family's affairs are dealt with."

Luo Xueyun showed a smile when she heard that.

But she was a little weak now, and her face looked pale and haggard, and there was a strong sense of brokenness when she smiled.

Shen Yelin felt so distressed when seeing this.

Luo Xueyun: "Brother Shen, how are my father and the others?"

Shen Yelin: "They did such a vicious thing, they will receive the punishment they deserve."

"Don't worry, I won't let them go."

[Great! That damn old woman and that damn scumbag finally got the lesson they deserved! It's really satisfying! Hahahaha! ]

[If I could, I would really like to beat them up myself. ]

【Wait for an opportunity to go secretly. 】

[Hiss... But... should I show some reluctance to part with those two evil beasts now? ]

[To show that I still have feelings for them in my heart, and then to be so decisive and ruthless in the end? ]

[If I am so cruel, will Shen Yelin think I am too cruel and lose his favorability towards me? ]

Shen Ye Lin listened to her inner thoughts and it was hard for him to hold back a smile on his face.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl will start acting again. It doesn’t matter. If she likes it, he will accompany her.

But he should find a way for her to act, otherwise her performance would be a bit awkward.

Shen Yelin: "Yunyun, I know you are reluctant to leave them now, and you are still sad in your heart."

"But they did this to you and to your mother. You should know what kind of people they are."

[Wow! I was just wondering how to start this conversation! Now I can start it.]

Luo Xueyun pretended to be sad: "Brother Shen, I know, but after all, one of them is my father and the other is my grandmother. I still feel a little reluctant and sad in my heart."

"I know they did something very extreme, but I just can't help but feel reluctant to let them go."

[Luo Mingjian and Xu Donghua better die soon. I've had enough of them.]

[My heart only has the emotion of wanting to kill them.]

Luo Xueyun looked reluctant and sad, but in her heart she wished they would die sooner.

Shen Yelin knew her true thoughts, but he was still willing to cooperate with her and continue acting.

He just likes to see Luo Xueyun's quirky look, he likes it very much.

But to be honest, seeing her sad face and tears in her eyes, Shen Yelin felt really bad, even though he knew she was pretending.
