CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 162: THIS TRIP WAS WORTH IT_3

"Anyone from the Zhou Family or any informed party should have been eliminated by them, and the main conflict of the event has been shifted away from me."

"I am innocent."

Yuchi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mischievous smile.

As for repeatedly asking about the investigation before and after, it was merely a disguised way to urge the other party to act quickly.

And judging from Xun Yu’s firm response just now, the Celestial Capital Department, Demon-slaying Bureau, and Defense Department have already settled the matter.

Those who needed to be killed were killed, and those who needed to be eliminated were eliminated.

I am the ultimate winner in this matter.

From now on, the chamber of commerce moving into Jiangzhou City is a foregone conclusion.

Keeping them with leverage over them is far better than eliminating them.

When the chamber of commerce arrives in Jiangzhou City, I will directly present the Immortal Robe Pavilion.

They owe me, and without much thought, they will help me to prove they are good people.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As for what will happen with the Demon-Revealing Array tomorrow?

"At most, it will be Xun Yu sacrificing himself, followed by the Demon-slaying Bureau being blamed for negligence."

"Apart from that, everyone will be happy."

"Xun Yu absolutely won’t expose the people from the Demon-slaying Bureau."

The bigger the uproar, the worse it is; stop while you’re ahead, advance step by step, and finally, wipe them all out.

You can’t become a big success overnight; stepping stones are still necessary.

The trip to Jiangzhou City is worth it.

...

"Knock, knock, knock-"

Yuchi turned his head to look outside the door.

There was a sound of knocking from outside the door, breaking the smile in his heart. He returned to his usual harmless demeanor.

Opening the door, he saw Song Yinghan; he stepped aside to let her in.

"Qingzhu, take a rest. Tonight, Brother Yuchi will take you to the hot springs," Yuchi said with a pampering smile to Wei Qingzhu.

"Alright."

At this moment, only Yuchi and Song Yinghan were in the room.

"Yinghan, with just the two of us here, why don’t you take off your mask?" Yuchi smiled at her.

Song Yinghan pondered for a moment and agreed.

She took off her mask and placed it on the table.

Yuchi handed over the roasted meat, while another pair of chopsticks that had been prepared earlier was also visible.

The gentle and dignified woman sat on the stool, took a deep breath, and said:

"I have a rough understanding of the situation in Jiangzhou City. As you said, the truth will come out tomorrow."

Yuchi furrowed his eyebrows, looking as if he was seriously contemplating:

"Yes, we’ll wait until tomorrow then."

"Well, tonight, Yinghan, as my guest, let me treat you to the hot springs to welcome you?"

Song Yinghan looked at the raindrops and mist on the back of her hand:

"Okay, later on, I can go there with Wei Qingzhu."

"Alright."

Yuchi smiled, "They say the people from the Celestial Capital Department are very arrogant, but you, Yinghan, give me a completely different feeling."

"It’s really a pity that you’re from the Celestial Capital Department."

"If you were from my Wei Family, I would be very willing to share the little moments of life with you."

Song Yinghan slightly frowned, her slender and simple brows knit together, her thin lips pressed, giving a thoughtful response:

"It seems you still don’t quite trust me."

"Trust takes time to build." Yuchi smiled.

"If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."

"I figure after this situation is over, I’ll either be in Xufu Town or in Jiangzhou City."

"You can find out where I am with some inquiry."

"I probably won’t need your help." Song Yinghan replied earnestly.

Tsk, how straightforward...

Also, Song Yinghan is really dignified and generous, not fitting to be simply described as beautiful.

That composed attitude is quite charming, not exactly aloof, but at least has a peculiar serenity?

"Haha, you never know with these things." Yuchi said, "So what if I miss you, then what? How do I find you?"

Song Yinghan puzzled, "If you miss me, just do so, why look for me?"

Yuchi smiled, saying innocently, "It’s simple. I like you and wonder if there might be a chance to hug you in the future."

Glancing at the falling rain outside the window, Song Yinghan replied calmly, "You’re being silly, just think about it, I won’t give it to you."

Popping a piece of meat into his mouth, Yuchi looked at the drizzle outside: "Well, you never know."
