Chapter 866: Directly Crippled, An Old Acquaintance, Face Slap Warning! (2)

Si Fuqing suppressed the violence in her eyes, pausing for a few seconds before extending her hand, looking pitiful like a small fox. “Sister, my hand is swollen from the beating. It hurts so much.”

Yuejian instantly got into character. “Your hand mustn’t get injured. Captain, these people are too much. They must be arrested!”

The corner of the investigator’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

The young man nodded slightly.

Initially expressionless, his gaze abruptly froze midway as he withdrew his sight.

His eyes fixated on a red mark on Yuejian’s palm, and his expression changed swiftly.

He scrutinized Yuejian sharply, estimating her dimensions.

“Captain, we’ve detained everyone,” an investigator reported. “The injured have been sent to the hospital. Can we withdraw now?”

To his surprise, the young man showed no intention of wrapping up. Instead, he took a few steps forward and pulled out a notebook. “Routine inquiry, what’s your name?”

“Wang Xiaomei,” Yuejian casually responded with a fake name, not forgetting to ask, “You’re quite handsome. Can I get your number?”

Si Fuqing was silent.

Her third senior senior sister was indeed diligent, directly extracting information from people of Zero.

The man paused, his eyes tightly locking onto Yuejian’s face as he slowly uttered three words, “Huo Yanxing.”

“Oh, from Great Xia,” Yuejian continued. “I also have Great Xia blood. If we trace back, we might be family. Captain, you’re quite good-looking.”

Huo Yanxing pressed his lips together, his lip line cold.

The woman who had slept with him and left a stack of money had not recognized him.

Very well.

“Captain, my younger sister is injured. Her hand is precious,” Yuejian clasped her hands together. “Shouldn’t they compensate? And my younger sister is so upset, there should be a mental distress fee, right?”

Huo Yanxing was silent.

The Zero investigators also fell silent.

Did they really think they were blind and couldn’t see who was actually injured?

Who had suffered mental distress?

“Yes, it will be settled,” Huo Yanxing said indifferently. “Leave a contact number.”

Yuejian reported one of her many phone numbers. “Captain, let’s have coffee sometime.”

Huo Yanxing glanced at her once more without saying a word before leading the investigators away.

“The way he was dressed, he should be a senior member of Zero,” Yuejian said, holding the contact she had obtained. “Not a loss.”

Si Fuqing turned around. “Third senior sister, don’t you think his look towards you was a bit odd?”

“What’s odd about it?” Yuejian crossed her arms. “Maybe the guy is a poker face, or he was scared by your fighting stance.”

“He wasn’t looking at me. Could it be you messed with him at some point?” Si Fuqing’s eyes were skeptical. “He seemed very aggrieved.”

“Impossible. I was in disguise. I haven’t used this face many times,” Yuejian rolled her eyes. “Besides, at most, I tease with words. I take my tasks seriously. I don’t sell myself; I’m still a maiden.”

Si Fuqing nodded.

That was true.

Her third senior sister was only flirtatious in words.

After all, she could not remember a single face.

A psychic evolutionist with face blindness seemed like a joke, but it happened.

“Let’s go. Looks like we won’t be drinking today,” Yuejian sighed. “Let’s wander around. It’s a good thing Zero showed up; they’ll clean up this place.”

Meanwhile.

Huo Yanxing took the troublemaking middle-aged men away and sent them to Zero’s interrogation room.

He silently looked at the phone number in his notebook, took a deep breath, put it back in his coat, and wearily rubbed his temples.

Not far away, a few investigators were gossiping.

“You guys joined the team late, so you don’t know how tragic our captain’s past was,” an investigator said. “A few years ago, he went undercover in a criminal organization. The organization was taken down, but due to some accidents, his reputation was ruined. And without a reputation, he also didn’t get a wife.”

A rookie investigator suddenly realized and accurately captured the key point, “Oh, I get it. The captain doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

Everyone was single. Who was better off?

Huo Yanxing heard this and turned to glance at the rookie investigator, his eyes icy.

The rookie investigator instantly shut up, trembling. He felt like their captain was going to kill someone.

Huo Yanxing took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, then dialed a number.

After a few rings, it was picked up. “Yanxing?”

“It’s me. I’m back with the Zero team,” Huo Yanxing paused. “Shiyan, I found the woman from back then.”
