The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"It's very simple~~"

Upon seeing this, Emery immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around Miss Mengmeng's slender waist again:

"Those who know me are aware of my lifestyle, so it's perfectly normal for me to grab a pretty nurse at the hospital to warm my bed when I'm lonely, right?"

Chapter 172 Return to Locke City

"You...you were still after all trying to take advantage of me!"

Miss Mengmeng felt a constant alarm bell ringing in her heart. She tried to struggle free from Amelie's embrace, but her attempts to move were unsuccessful. She could only grit her teeth and...

"Hmph, you scumbag woman!"

"Hoo hoo... Well, of course, I won't force you to agree, Mengmeng."

Emery smiled nonchalantly, then feigned indifference, saying:

"But this is your best chance to infiltrate and investigate old Langdon's place. Haven't you always felt there was something wrong with him? Are you just going to miss this opportunity?"

"Isn't he suspicious?"

Miss Mengmeng said seriously:

"Don't forget that you yourself said that the technology of the magical puppet warriors is a product of the collaboration between Langdon and your Melson family, and the black-robed man who has been buying up magic-repelling cubs all over the Federation recently is a magical puppet warrior... If it's not Langdon behind it, then it's one of your relatives!"

"Hmm... Mengmeng, your reasoning is fine, but it's not comprehensive either."

Amelie also pretended to think about it seriously for a moment before saying:

"You're an experienced investigator, so you should know that no matter how many people a murderer kills with a knife, the craftsman who made the knife is innocent, right? After all, a knife is an indispensable tool in people's lives, and craftsmen don't make knives for others to use to kill."

"The same goes for the Magic Puppet Warrior Project... Our family and old Langdon's initial plan for this project was to use them to replace front-line mages, thereby reducing casualties... but we later found that the cost-effectiveness was too low, so we gave up."

“I’m not too sure about the situation here at Old Langdon’s place, but my family… you know, it’s quite normal for some relatives to use petty tricks to embezzle family assets. Just like how people in your Bureau of Investigation often report equipment as lost, but actually they secretly sell it to get money to go to taverns and brothels.”

"It was the same in our family. When the Magical Doll Warrior Project was abandoned, many of the records of the experimental models were destroyed or damaged... But were they actually damaged or destroyed? I think at least half of them were secretly sold by the project leader."

"...So you think old Langdon has nothing to do with this?"

Miss Mengmeng's eyes sharpened as she stared intently at Emily.

I don't know either~~

Emery simply shrugged:

"I don't know that old man well, how would I know what kind of person he is? I'm just the young lady from his major shareholder family, so I only get special treatment when I bring my fiancé to him for medical treatment... In fact, I've barely seen him these past few days, who knows what he's been secretly busy with. Mengmeng, if you really think he's suspicious, why don't you come with me to his place and investigate?"

"You... Hmph."

Miss Mengmeng figured it out, or rather, she thought she had seen through the truth.

She felt that Emerald didn't care whether Langdon was a bad guy or not, and that Emerald just wanted to take this opportunity to tease her!

As an excellent investigator, one must be prepared to endure humiliation and hardship to uncover the truth and seek justice for the victims. Miss Mengmeng naturally possesses this awareness as well.

The gang that has been buying up magic-repelling cubs has harmed an alarming number of them over the years. Miss Mengmeng has long vowed to bring the real mastermind to justice, and she is willing to pay any price for it.

So what if I got flirted with by a scumbag woman? It's nothing... I'll take her down!

In the end, Miss Mengmeng agreed to Amelie's suggestion, pretending to be the little nurse she had impulsively dragged back to warm the bed, and went with Amelie to old man Langdon's villa.

Emery certainly wouldn't expose Langdon's secret laboratory so easily. 03, who had already received the news, had made preparations in advance, and the entrances leading to the underground laboratory inside the villa had been closed and hidden.

Furthermore, as soon as Amelie entered the villa, she began to make advances towards Miss Mengmeng. As agreed beforehand, she did not actually cross the line of physical intimacy, but some kissing, hugging, and foot-playing were still inevitable.

According to Emery, if old Langdon was really a bad guy, it would be too suspicious for her to bring Miss Meng back and do nothing, as it would easily alert him... Therefore, the two of them had to act appropriately, which was the best disguise for infiltrating the investigation, and Miss Meng had to cooperate.

This made it impossible for Miss Mengmeng to concentrate on the search, even though she really wanted to do it carefully and thoroughly, because Emily was just too good at playing games... Even though Miss Mengmeng was a professionally trained investigator with a strong will, she was inwardly crying out that she couldn't take it anymore.

As a result, Miss Mengmeng had only looked around the villa about twice when she was dragged back to her room by Emily and thrown onto the bed as a pillow.

If you're going to act, you have to go all the way. According to the plan we agreed on beforehand, after returning to the room, Amelie will bully Miss Mengmeng even more, and Miss Mengmeng will also have to make some nice sounds to cooperate, so as not to arouse suspicion from the old man Langdon, who may be a big bad seed.

Emery was having a blast, and aside from not actually crossing the line, she tried out almost every mainstream gameplay style.

Miss Mengmeng's voice was charming and pleasant, but whether it was acting or genuine and she couldn't help herself, only she knew.

Thanks to Miss Mengmeng, Emery's life in the hospital suddenly became less boring; the investigation game of disguising her identity was indeed quite fun.

The next morning, Miss Mengmeng met with old man Langdon at the villa.

Although old man Langdon was very disdainful of Emerald's perverse sense of humor, he still cooperated with Emerald in her act, playing the role of a great philanthropist very well in front of Miss Mengmeng. He was so gentle and polite that he didn't seem like a bad person at all.

Especially when Emery deliberately left under the pretext of going to the restroom, old man Langdon said with a hint of apology to Miss Mengmeng, who was still disguised as a nurse in the hospital:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, young lady... but this is also your opportunity. If you can keep that young lady happy, whatever she gives you will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life..."

"...Yes, I understand, Dean."

As planned, Miss Mengmeng acted pitiful and helpless, but also very hot-tempered. She seemed to have suffered a great injustice, but in reality, she was extremely pleased.

The old man, Langdon, offered her a few words of comfort as the dean, then left under the pretext of continuing his medical research, and did not return home for the next two days.

So for the next two days, Emerald spent her days with Miss Mengmeng, playing with the children controlled by 03 in the backyard garden. With 03's excellent performance and Emerald's cooperation, Miss Mengmeng and the children played together for two days without noticing anything unusual.

That night, Emerald claimed she was going to take Miss Mengmeng to search the villa, but in reality, she was trying to toy with Miss Mengmeng in every corner of the villa... Miss Mengmeng wanted to kick Emerald away and search the villa properly countless times, but she always managed to hold back.

On the first night, Miss Mengmeng was thinking:

That scumbag girl really knows her stuff! No wonder she was like that back in school... Hmph, but I'm an excellent investigator, how could I get so caught up in this and forget my duties? I'll get used to it tonight, and I'll do a proper investigation tomorrow night after she's asleep!

The next night:

Oh no... How did I fall asleep before that scumbag girl? Damn it, it's all her fault for making things too comfortable... Should we just leave it at that for tonight and continue the search tomorrow night?

No, no! Mengmeng, you can't be so depraved! You're a Purple Star Investigator, how can you be so engrossed in a scumbag's bed that you forget your duties? Get up and get to work right now!

Thinking this, Miss Mengmeng perked up and was about to get up when she was pulled into a hug and used as a pillow by Emerald, who seemed to be having a sweet dream.

Miss Mengmeng felt she wanted to refuse, but her body grew weaker and weaker, and in the end she was unable to get out of bed.

...Never mind, I'll try again tomorrow.

Unfortunately, there is no tomorrow.

On the third day after the nurse Mengmeng was taken away by Emerald to warm his bed, Connor, whose soul had been suffering from burning pain for many days, actually regained consciousness briefly... This was a true moment of lucidity before death.

So Emerald immediately rushed to Connor's hospital room, and chuckled strangely at the still somewhat bewildered Connor:

"You're awake? I regret to inform you that there was a plane crash in the Federation a few days ago, and your relatives who were planning to visit you were on the airship that crashed."

"But you don't need to be too sad. At least your one-year-old niece survived. She will inherit all your estate and then be adopted by me."

"How about that? Isn't my fiancée incredibly thoughtful? You're not even dead yet, and I've already arranged everything for you... Surprised?"

"!"

Whether Connor Holm was truly surprised or not, nobody knows.

After hearing Emeryte's words, he left with only an extremely complicated expression before completely losing his life force; even his soul ceased to exist.

The soul, already fragile from being scorched by the dragon's breath for days and nights, was further provoked by Amelie's wicked laughter and vanished into thin air on the spot.

Connor Holm was thus officially declared dead, and a legally valid death certificate was issued by Langdon Hospital, proving that he did indeed die from the Shadow Dragon attack, and was not murdered.

In this way, all of Connor's funeral arrangements will proceed as Emerald planned, and even if Connor wrote several wills in advance saying that if he died, Emerald would definitely be the murderer, it would have no effect.

However, Emerald doesn't need to worry too much about what happens next. Connor's new alloy patent is what the Melson family wants, so the Melson family's legal team will handle the rest. Emerald's task is complete.

After Connor's official death, Emery immediately returned to Locke City... Although the little nurse Mengmeng in white stockings was quite fun, after playing with her for two days in a row, her interest waned. Perhaps she should try playing with Investigator Mengmeng next time.

Miss Mengmeng, who was already somewhat dazed from being played, finally came to her senses completely after being taken to Locke City by Emily.

Upon discovering that she was still sitting in Amelie's lap dressed in a white nurse's uniform even though she no longer needed to be searched, Miss Mengmeng immediately lost her temper... and ran away without saying a word.

Emery didn't care. Once she had her eye on a prey, it was inevitable that it would be devoured sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

After escaping back to FBI headquarters, Ms. Mengmeng first took a cold shower, hoping the clear cold water could wash away the marks of being bullied by the scumbag woman and make her more clear-headed.

...So, does old man Langdon actually have a problem?

Miss Mengmeng tried hard to recall the search process of the past two days, but found that whenever she started thinking, all she could think of was Emery... her delicate and soft lips, her nimble and gentle hands, and her alluring jade feet wrapped in black stockings...

Fortunately, Miss Mengmeng is an excellent investigator after all. Despite the significant interference, she has still managed to conduct some investigations over the past two days. She will slowly piece together the details of these investigations, verify them with logical reasoning, and think with intuition... Regardless of whether Old Langdon is the mastermind or not, she is determined to find out who it is.

. . . . .

On the other side, upon learning that Ameliete had returned, Yulia, who had just pulled two people from the river, hurriedly threw them into the ambulance and flew back to the Blue Star Film and Television headquarters.

"Emerite, you go back... Humph! Emeralite is a bad guy!"

As soon as Yulia opened the window, she saw Amelie playing with toys, three at the same time—one on each foot and one sitting on her bottom.

Fortunately, Julia had seen Emerald's outrageous behavior many times before, so although she was a little angry, she just pouted and stood by the window without turning around and leaving.

"Yulia is back?"

Emery wasn't embarrassed at all. She opened her slightly narrowed eyes, shifted her body to the side, and then patted the empty space on Sulina's back next to her:

"Come, sit down... Let me see if you've become even more beautiful since I last saw you?"

If it were the previous Yulia, she would have already run away blushing.

But having already experienced being hugged and kissed by Emerald several times in public, Julia's tolerance is now quite high.

So she hesitated only slightly before walking over and sitting down, ignoring Sulina's embarrassed and annoyed gaze. She also ignored the red-haired half-elf maid and the white-haired elf guard making strange noises at Amelie's feet.

"That wicked Emerald...she comes back and does bad things...so bad...hmm?"

After muttering a few complaints under her breath, Yulia's eyes immediately became wary, and she sniffed carefully:

"Amélie, why do you smell like another woman? And the scent seems a little familiar... Did you harass some nurse at the hospital?"

"No, no... How could I be so mean as to bully someone? But it's true that one of the intern nurses was so eager to become a full-time nurse that she offered me some extra services."

Emery remained completely calm, responding smoothly to Julia's questions while simultaneously reaching out to stroke Julia's hair:

"Speaking of which, I've been away from home for a few days. Did you miss me, honey?"

"I won't miss you! And who's your darling? Don't call me that!"

Julia blushed and waved her little fists in protest, but she didn't even push away Emerald's hand. Instead, she moved closer to her.

"...Hmm, not bad, not bad~~"

Emery took a while to withdraw her hand, then nodded in satisfaction:

“Baby, you seem to have grown again. I like you more and more.”

"I don't care if you like me!"

Julia continued to act arrogantly, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Viriana and Marcy enjoying themselves at Amelie's feet.

Viliana was a bit better, exhibiting typical elf behavior, though she was just wiggling around while clinging to Amelie's leg.

But Marcy's way of playing was a bit strange. She actually put Emerald's black-stockinged feet on her neck and let Emerald stomp on them hard... She looked like she was about to suffocate from being stomped on, but her eyes were full of excitement.

"This……"

Yulia couldn't resist and pointed at Marcy, who was already sticking out her tongue:

"Won't you stomp on Sisi to death? She seems to be having trouble breathing."

"It's okay, don't worry~~"

Emerald merely chuckled, not only refusing to retract her foot but also increasing the pressure on Marcy's throat:

"Sisi was very upset that she couldn't help in the Shadow Dragon Extermination Battle. As soon as I came back, she asked me to help her improve her strength. Now I'm just helping her with her training."

"...What kind of cultivation is this?"

Yulia was still full of questions.

"Of course, it's the cultivation of the Flame of Life."

Amelie said in a very serious tone:

"The Flame of Vitality is the flame of life. To increase its strength, in addition to the flame manipulator constantly practicing to increase proficiency, one must also deepen one's understanding of life."

"Now that Sisi is quite proficient in controlling the Flame of Life, the next step is naturally to gain a deeper understanding of life... Once she has a new understanding, I will use the ancient dragon blood I obtained this time to strengthen her Crimson Moon bloodline, which should give her a significant boost."

"To gain a breakthrough in understanding life, one must first know the taste of death... So what I did was to suffocate Sisi, so that she could experience life while on the verge of death."

"Well!!!"

Almost as soon as Emery finished speaking, Marcy suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Her eyes rolled back completely, her body twitched a few times, and then she stopped moving, looking as if she had been suffocated to death by Emery's foot.
