"this……"

Gu Ao looked embarrassed and was starting to lose his composure.

"Miss Lü... Miss Lü, you weren't asleep just now?"

He asked the question instinctively, and then immediately regretted it.

Lu Sisi didn't have a good impression of Gu Ao, so she gave him a pretty glare and turned to look at Lu Wenguang.

"Dad, Yang-gege is amazing! Look at me, I look completely different now, my skin is even smoother."

As soon as she said this, everyone around her looked at the straightforward Miss Lü with new respect.

Is this something that can be brought up in public?

Lu Wenguang blushed, his mind racing, and finally came up with the best excuse.

"Acupuncture! Yes, yes, Chu Yang just gave my daughter acupuncture."

In his memory, his daughter never lied.

If he were to say something shocking and reveal what he just did in a shameful way, he would become the laughingstock of the entire East Sea.

He kept blinking at his daughter frantically, signaling her not to say anything inappropriate.

Gu Ao's lips twitched a few times, thinking that even if it was about reviewing his lessons, it was more reliable than acupuncture.

The rest of the Dragon Shadow Guards had mocking expressions on their faces.

Lü Sisi hummed in agreement. "It's acupuncture. Yang-gege's technique is amazing. It still hurts a little bit. Dad, I've lost a lot of blood."

Lu Wenguang's face turned pale, but thankfully, his daughter was cooperative.

"Um... Commander Gu, didn't you have something to ask Chu Yang? Hurry up and take him away."

Lu Sisi immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "No! No one can take Brother Yang away."

As she spoke, she was about to push Chu Yang into the house.

Chu Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Sisi, don't worry. He's just asking me."

He approached Gu Ao and, before Gu Ao could speak, asked a question.

"Where's my 100 million?"

Gu Ao was immediately taken aback. "Uh... I've already reported to the Garrison Commander. It should be approved."

Chu Yang chuckled awkwardly and curled his lip. "I see. You're planning to pin a baseless accusation on me to save yourself a hundred million. Right?"

Gu Ao was stunned by those words, a chill ran down his spine, and his gaze toward Chu Yang became strange.

On the way here, he reported to the garrison commander and was immediately berated.

Although the garrison commander did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear: he wanted to bring Chu Yang to Longying for interrogation.

Everyone knows that people who enter the Dragon Shadow interrogation room can confess a lot of things even if there's nothing wrong with them.

Gu Ao felt that this was inappropriate, so he had been giving Lü Wenguang a way out, intending to leave with his men first.

If we wait for the garrison commander to arrive, it will be difficult to smooth things over.

"Chu Yang, you...you've gone too far! If you hadn't come out just now, I was already planning to take my men and leave."

Chu Yang squinted and gave a thumbs up.

"Since you're so kind to me, I'll give you a 5% discount next time. You wanted to ask, right? Ask now, I'm going back to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ao subconsciously glanced at Lü Sisi's room ahead.

The Dragon Shadow Guards also cast envious glances at them.

Chu Yang's lips twitched.

"No, where are you looking? I meant going back to my own home!"

Gu Ao had an expression that said, "I understand, I'm not arguing with you."

Where were you when Gu Chen died?

Chu Yang blinked and looked Gu Ao up and down.

"No, is it really necessary for you to dig this hole like this? How am I supposed to know when Gu Chen died? If I said I wasn't at the scene when Gu Chen died, would you just handcuff me as a suspect?"

Gu Ao hadn't expected Chu Yang to be so sensitive.

However, what he said wasn't wrong. If Chu Yang really answered like that, there would definitely be suspicion.

But Gu Ao was just using that kind of questioning style out of professional habit.

"Uh... okay. Let me rephrase the question. Did you kill Gu Chen?"

Chu Yang immediately scoffed, "You're already prejudiced against me. Why ask me out of all these people? If you have evidence that I'm related to Gu Chen's death, just produce it. Otherwise, don't waste my time."

He held his lower back, stretched a bit, and looked very tired.

Lu Sisi quickly stepped forward to massage his back, "Brother Yang, look how tired you are, it breaks my heart. I won't be so delicate next time."

Chu Yang gently patted Lü Sisi's head, "Good girl! Next time I ask you to do something, just cooperate obediently."

"Okay, I understand. You can do whatever you want!" Lu Sisi replied obediently.

Everyone: "..."

I bet every man in the world would want a girlfriend like that, right?

Young, beautiful, playful, well-behaved, obedient, considerate—almost every positive adjective can be used to describe her.

Lu Wenguang was almost in tears.

This little darling has never cared about him this much before.

He felt that the good cabbage he had carefully tended for twenty years had now been stewed with pork, and the pot was taken away with it.

Gu Ao was also quite frustrated. He had planned to ask a few random questions and then lead his men to leave, but Chu Yang actually argued with him.

"Chu Yang, don't be so arrogant! If there's evidence proving your involvement, I'll be back!"

He turned around arrogantly, waved to his Dragon Shadow Guards, and said, "Let's go!"

"Commander Gu, is this how you interrogate prisoners?"

A deep, resonant voice pierced the night sky, making everyone's eardrums ache slightly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, burly man with a long face, fair skin, and no beard, who appeared to be around fifty years old, slowly landing in the courtyard.

"Haha, Your Excellency, I have come uninvited. Please forgive me."

Lu Wenguang raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Qian Shunkai, the garrison commander of Longying Town, would actually come.

"Ah...hahaha, not at all, not at all, you are most welcome! Commander, how have you been?"

The two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries warmly, but Qian Shunkai's eyes never left Chu Yang, though he outwardly ignored him completely.

Chu Yang smiled and gently patted Lü Sisi's arm. "Remember, don't use it carelessly next time."

Lu Sisi obediently hummed in agreement, "Sisi will remember."

Chu Yang put his hands behind his back, took measured steps, and walked slowly toward the gate.

"stop!"

A fierce glint flashed across Qian Shunkai's previously smiling face.

Chu Yang acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking out as if no one else was there.

"What an arrogant brat!"

Qian Shunkai shouted sharply, his shoulders swayed slightly, and he transformed into a streak of light, appearing behind Chu Yang like lightning.

The dark, gleaming hand struck directly at Chu Yang's back.

At this moment, after treating Lü Sisi, Chu Yang's internal energy was completely dissipated, leaving him with no ability to dodge or retaliate.

He steeled himself and continued walking forward, maintaining the same pace.

"boom--!"

The powerful force of the energy swirled up sand and dust, obscuring the bright moon in the sky and causing everyone to stagger backward.
