Chapter 118

The Bureau has already found the location of the hostage?

Hearing the red-haired Director's words, Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly startled, then asked with some unwillingness:

"Director, the Holy Spirit that was invited down by the Masaini family back then was invited by the Masaini family. They have a very close relationship with the Weighing Gold Sect. It's rare to have such a good opportunity, should we..."

"Stop! You stop for me!"

Seeing that Li Ang really had "ulterior motives," the red-haired Director couldn't help but shudder violently, and made a "stop" gesture with her hands horizontally and vertically.

"Just save people this time! Don't worry about anything else! Especially those people in the Masaini family, the less contact you have, the better!"

After putting forward the requirements for Li Ang, the red-haired Director reminded with a headache:

"You don't really think that the Laien family matter has passed, do you? You are not even in the observation period after the incident, and you haven't even entered the investigation period. The investigators from the General Bureau will arrive in these few days."

"In case you have contact with the Masaini family, and someone in their family has an accident, even if it's just one person choking to death while drinking water, the intensity of the investigation you have to face will increase again!"

"..."

After experiencing the powerful effect of the Gold-level 【I Am a Demon】, Li Ang naturally had a few more points of enthusiasm for the Holy Spirit series badges, which had effects quite similar to the demon series.

However, as the Director said, his suspicion hasn't been completely cleared yet. It's better to be steady in doing things recently to avoid causing the investigators' suspicion and bringing unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, the investigation is estimated to end in a week. The Weighing Gold Sect won't collapse for a while, and the people of the Masaini family won't run away. At worst, wait for a week and then talk about it!

"I will pay attention."

After listening to the red-haired Director's advice and giving a promise not to mess around, Li Ang took the mission sheet and was about to leave, but seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he asked embarrassedly:

"Director, can I take a leave next week?"

Although he had only joined the job for a little over a month, Li Ang's leave time was longer than his "working" time, and he had just messed up the mission before, was absent for more than a week, and now he had only been back for less than an hour, and he was going to ask for leave again. Even Li Ang himself felt a bit hard to open his mouth.

However, for his "easy-to-leave constitution," the red-haired Director performed quite well, took out a notebook and pen from the drawer, and said indifferently:

"Ask, ask. Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you haven't been home much during the days you were taken away for investigation. It's normal to ask for leave... How long do you want to ask for?"

"This... I'm not very clear either..."

Li Ang hesitated for a while, then asked back:

"How long does a general succession ceremony take? Do you know?"

Succession ceremony?

The red-haired Director thought for a while and replied:

"About one to four days? Titles of Earl and below mostly have little property and no real power, basically won't toss for too long, a banquet to entertain guests is enough, and it can be finished in half a day."

"Going further up, they are basically big families. The change of title of big families will affect many things, and even the royal family will send envoys to observe the ceremony. Others include internal preaching of family history, handover of industrial holders, clan meetings, etc. It is estimated that it will not be finished in three or four days."

Is it so troublesome...

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but frown.

"If you drive away friends and guests, just report to the royal family simply, and the key members of the family have died seven or eight out of ten? How short can it be shortened?"

"That's estimated to be one day... but which big noble would do this?"

After blinking in surprise, the red-haired Director, who was writing a leave note, couldn't help but look up and ask in confusion:

"Also, why are you asking these? Could it be that you are asking for leave to observe the ceremony of some big noble?"

"Er... you can say that..."

After scratching his head awkwardly, Li Ang, who hadn't thought about how to explain the situation, could only say as tactfully as possible:

"Director, do you remember what excuse I used when I investigated the sheep heart?"

"Remember, going to the Laien house to recognize relatives, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing... it's just that I succeeded in recognizing relatives, and it was a particularly, particularly successful one..."

After hesitating to clench his fists, looking at the red-haired Director who was confused, Li Ang said helplessly:

"Let me tell you this, I have been identified as the 29th Lionheart Duke, and next Tuesday is my succession ceremony."

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

Shocking! A newcomer who just turned regular in the Bureau asked me for leave, and the reason was to inherit the Duke's family business?

And what's even more fatal is that the original first successor was killed by Li Ang himself! Could it be that he did it to inherit the title...

It's not right! Li Ang shouldn't be that kind of person, and the Laien family died a bunch of key members because of his "untimely rescue," and it looks like they won't be able to jump for long. Destroy the Laien family first and then inherit an empty title? How can anyone do this? But... but...

But how did you become a Duke after recognizing relatives?

Facing the sudden turn of events, even the well-informed red-haired Director couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

A short while later, after recovering from this shocking news, the red-haired Director said with a strange expression:

"You are not joking with me, are you?"

"I'm really not joking with you, I'm really going to inherit the title..."

After briefly explaining the process he knew, Li Ang said helplessly:

"I really have no interest in this title of the Laien family, but no matter how I refuse, it's useless. They reported my name directly."

"Because they were worried that I wouldn't cooperate, they even put anesthetics in my hospital meal, and called more than twenty guards to guard outside my ward. I also broke them and ran out after my injury got a little better..."

"..."

Good guy, no wonder you came back so fast. It turns out you weren't released because Old Charle exerted force, but you ran out directly after inheriting the title...

After smacking her lips speechlessly, the red-haired Director said with a complicated expression:

"Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?"

"I wanted to say it earlier, but when I came back, before I could speak, you kept asking me what happened to the Laien blood night. After I finished explaining the Laien blood night to you, Senior Tang Mu came in."

"Then you asked me to check Senior Tang Mu, and scolded me, saying I shouldn't risk contacting Bobby Laien, and then assigned me a mission. I never had a chance to speak..."

"..."

It seems... it's really like this?

Recalling the previous situation and finding that it was indeed the case, the red-haired Director couldn't help but open her mouth, then asked in confusion:

"Then since you ran out, why do you want to ask me for leave to attend the succession ceremony? Also, what do you think about this Duke identity?"

"I told you just now, I really have no interest in this title. As for why I asked you for leave, I feel that only by attending the succession ceremony can I have a chance to directly throw away this trouble."

After hesitating for a while, Li Ang said:

"Director, you say, what will happen if I announce that I will donate all the Laien family's industries to the royal family in the capacity of Duke at the succession ceremony?"
