Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lord Chu’s face suddenly darkened. His voice was filled with a bone-chilling chill.” I’ll give you one last chance to speak. If you can’t explain yourself clearly, don’t even think about walking out of here in the future.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Bai Shizu and Chu Zhongyuan.

“Alright.”

Bai Shizu snapped his fingers, and his subordinates immediately sent over all kinds of evidence and clues. Finally, under his instructions, they were handed over to Lord Chu.

Lord Chu’s eyelids twitched at the first glance.

He subconsciously glanced at Chu Zhongyuan.

Chu Zhongyuan remained silent.

From the moment he took the initiative to look for Lord Chu, he was already mentally prepared. What should come would come eventually. He could not hide.

As time passed, the air became particularly stagnant.

In the end, Lord Chu closed the book and looked coldly at Bai Shizu.” It’s all just some groundless bullsh * t. You want to use this to convict my uncle? Bai Shizu, is your brain filled with sh * t?”

As he spoke, his aura became more wild and unstable, ready to attack at any time.

Bai Shizu said calmly,” Although these are not concrete evidence, all the clues here point to Chu Zhongyuan without exception. Does King Chu think that all of this is just an accidental coincidence?”

“Without evidence, it’s all bullshit.”

King Chu’s tone was firm and resolute. Even now, there was not a trace of doubt in his voice.” If this is all your so-called evidence, then unfortunately, I will keep my word.”

As he spoke, he pretended to make a move on Bai Shizu.

Bai Shizu’s eyelids twitched.” King Chu wants concrete evidence?” he asked in a deep voice. It’s not difficult. I’ll have it soon.”

“What evidence?” Lord Chu paused.

Bai Shizu looked around.” There are too many people. It’s better to ask those irrelevant people to leave first.”

Lord Chu hesitated for a moment before nodding.” Alright. I’d like to see what you can do.”

With that order, everyone was quickly cleared out.

Although they were all important figures who could represent their respective forces, other than King Zhao, who was present in person, there was still a difference in level between them and King Chu.

Even the King of Zhao would not shamelessly stay in the face of the King of Chu’s invitation.

After all, it was a private matter within the Chu royal residence.

The hall was empty, and King Chu’s unfriendly eyes fell on Lin Yi. This king has cleared the area. Those who are not involved can get lost!”

Lin Yi looked at Chu Zhongyuan,” I’m sorry, I have the authority to supervise. Of course, if King Chu wants Brother Bai to make a decision and strongly requests me to leave, I can consider it. After all, the guest follows the host.”

Lord Chu choked.” So what if you’re staying?” he said in a muffled voice.” Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

Although he hated Lin Yi, he realized that it wasn’t a bad thing for Lin Yi to be here.

Bai Shizu made it clear that he had come with ill intentions.

If he was allowed to act arbitrarily and speak in the name of the Security Inspection Department, there were many things that he would find difficult to disobey even if he was the Chu royal family, unless the Chu royal family was prepared to cut themselves off from the inner court.

On the other hand, Lin Yi’s presence would be a huge hindrance to Shizu.

At the very least, it would greatly weaken their authority as representatives of the Security Review Division!

Shizu couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi.

The moment he saw Lin Yi today, he had a bad feeling. However, he couldn’t ask Lin Yi to leave since there wasn’t such a reason.

If he forced himself to do so, it would only make King Chu more wary and suspicious of him.

” There’s no one else here,” Lord Chu said.” If you have something to say, just say it.”

Bai Shizu looked at Chu Zhongyuan.” Although there is no direct evidence now, it is not difficult to prove that you are a spy of the Gods. We just need to start the investigation of the Gods ‘archives.”

Chu Zhongyuan’s eyelids twitched.

“According to the rules of the divine territory, all the believers of the gods will leave a file,” Bai Shizu said faintly.”It’s the same for the spies of the gods.”

“Doctor Chu, if I find your file in the Gods, then you have nothing to quibble about, right?”

Chu Zhongyuan was silent.

This time, Lord Chu was also bewildered.

He refused to believe that his most trusted uncle was a spy of the gods. One had to know that his trust in this uncle was even greater than his own!

However, just as Bai Shizu had said, if he really found Chu Zhongyuan’s file in the Gods, it would be irrefutable evidence. He had no choice but to believe it.

” Brother Bai, there’s a huge risk in starting the investigation. We need to think about it carefully. According to the normal procedure, we should inform the emperor, the king, and the three lords first. We’ll let the five of them make the decision, right?” Lin Yi said.

Chu Wang relaxed-he found Lin Yi a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Although he absolutely trusted his Uncle Wang, he was really afraid that something might happen. It would be best if he could push this matter aside.

Most importantly, he knew Bai Shizu’s intentions.

He was using Chu Zhongyuan as a threat to keep him in check and prevent him from trading with King Zhao and Lin Yi. It would make it easier for King Qin to take over the core assets of the Chu royal family at the lowest price.

Bai Shizu glanced at Lin Yi and raised his eyebrows.” Brother Lin, you’re right, but there’s no need for that now. The investigation is already in progress. The only thing we need to do now is wait for the final results.”

Lin Yi’s eyes flashed.

Acting first and reporting later, this guy’s boldness was not small!

Bai Shizu dared to do this because he had already informed the King of Qin in advance and was very confident.

After all, there were more than one or two clues pointing to Chu Zhongyuan. Anyone who was rational would not insist that there was no problem with him like King Chu.

Moreover, Chu Zhongyuan’s performance in the conversation earlier had already proved his deduction to a certain extent.

All of this had been part of Bai Shizu’s plan.

If Chu Zhongyuan cooperated, that would naturally be a good thing. However, if Chu Zhongyuan did not cooperate and took the initiative to confess to King Chu like before, it would not be a big problem.

With King Chu’s feelings for his uncle, even if he knew the truth, he would not give up easily. Instead, he would spare no effort to protect him!

At that time, if Bai Shizu used this as a threat, King Chu would still cooperate obediently in the end.

The only surprise today was Lin Yi’s sudden interference!

The key was that he couldn’t chase Lin Yi away.

Lin Yi’s presence would affect his plans, and he was forced to adjust them.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Bai Shizu directly set up a cross-realm communication array. The other side was connected to the divine domain.

When Chu Zhongyuan saw this scene, he felt a wave of apprehension in his heart.

He couldn’t help but have the urge to confess to Lord Chu.
