Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 494: A not so pleasant investigation

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes as she finished throwing the silencing charm at Li Gang, she then turned to look at the room where she was asked to wait and narrowed her eyes with suspicion. Why did Liu Dong Ming ask her to wait here? Was he planning something? If so then what?

With her disguise it was impossible for him to realise that it was her, so what made him treat her this well?

The five ghosts behind her did not dare to say that they were the ones who gave her away. If Liu Hui Ying found out that they were the ones who were caught by Liu Dong Ming, she would roast them like a chicken on a stick with fire burning underneath.

The five ghosts remained silent not daring to speak. They were not only scared of Liu Hui Ying but they were equally scared of Liu Dong Ming as well, if that man put them on his hit list then they were afraid that they might not be able to survive.

Even though they were dead.

Just as Liu Hui Ying was anticipating the next move of Liu Dong Ming, the sliding door of the hall was pushed open and in came a man dressed in a fervent red robe with matching pants. Liu Hui Ying who was expecting something terrible to happen was left stunned as she stared at the man who was dressed like a flaming red clown.

" Good evening to Lord Chi," Liu Dong Ming greeted Liu Hui Ying with a stern look on his face, though he was trying to smile, his lips were used to say nothing but harsh words which was why even though he tried his best to smile nothing happened.

In fact, he looked quite pitiful with his attempts to smile.

Liu Hui Ying and the five ghosts: "…" It's fine if you don't smile you know?

Liu Hui Ying felt like she was sitting in the house of some big-shot mafia lord who was trying to pretend friendly towards her before shooting her to death. She pursed her lips and then bowed her head before greeting him back, " Good evening to you too, Prime Minister Liu. Your guards might have already told you, my name is Chi Nanzhi.

I am here to investigate the case of the missing taels, if you don't mind then I would like to help the Liu family."

Seeing the shocked and awed (not) filled expression of Liu Hui Ying, Liu Dong Ming was quite satisfied. Looks like his daughter still liked the colour red, he still hadn't forgotten how Liu Hui Ying made a fuss with him when they were living in the modern world and asked him to buy her a red dress because her favourite bird that always stayed angry was red.

" You are here to help the Liu family?" Liu Dong Ming frowned. Though he was quite happy with his daughter coming to look for him, he still acted like usual as he did not want to spook her. Sure enough, this was a father and daughter connection even though the two of them were apart his daughter could totally sense a familiarity with him.

Liu Hui Ying who only came to see him because he was the head of the Liu family: "…" I have no idea what you are talking about. Find your next read at mvl

" Thats right, I heard from the commoners that the Liu family is in trouble with what happened at the docks, so I decided to take a look at the case," Liu Hui Ying placed her hands on her chest and then looked at Liu Dong Ming with a determined expression on her face. " I am sure that I surely deal with this case if you give me the chance."

" You can?" A cold sneer erupted from Liu Dong Ming's lips causing Liu Hui Ying to stiffen as she flinched slightly. Though she could feel a sort of pressure rise in the room she did not look away from Liu Dong Ming and nodded stiffly, " Yes, I am sure that I can take care of this case if I am given the opportunity."

Liu Dong Ming stared at her for two whole seconds causing Liu Hui Ying to swallow the lump in her throat twice.

" All right," said Liu Dong Ming after a long pause causing Liu Hui Ying to heave a sigh of relief. When Liu Dong Ming saw that Liu Hui Ying had heaved a sigh of relief, he was quite happy. It looked like all of his steps were working in the right direction, Liu Hui Ying was now relaxed in his presence this was good.

He then looked at Liu Hui Ying and asked, " What do you think of doing Lord Chi? I mean many believe that this case involves pirates and that the Liu family joined hands with the pirates to keep the million or so taels for themselves. Though it's pitifully naive that others are willing to believe that the Liu family will fight for such a small amount the evidence is against us.

Do you know what kind of task you are taking? You will be pushing yourself in the front line and the Ji family will not like it."

Liu Hui Ying gulped when she heard Liu Dong call a million taels a small amount. It made her wonder just how rich the Liu family really was, however, she did not question it instead she nodded solemnly as she answered, " I know. But my benefits are closely tied with the Liu family which is why I would like to do everything in my power to make sure that I will prove the innocence of the Liu family."

What a joke, if something happened to this family then surely Liu Hui Ying would lose her crown of the Empress and the…then —— that fcker Ji Yang and his family would definitely cause trouble for her.

She could not allow that to happen!

While Liu Hui Ying was determined not to lose her crown, Liu Dong Ming on the other hand was touched upon seeing the loyalty of his daughter. Sure enough, he taught her well.

The ghost aides: "…" I don't know what you are thinking but it's wrong!
