When the Chief wakes up, I’ll ask her for a leave for you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Don’t bother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hastily gathering the photos on the desk, Li Ang carefully studied the woman who had come to file the report, pondering her connection to Anna, then spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, my family business isn’t that urgent. How about I stay and help you ask around first, then go back later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That could work…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Ang suddenly change his mind, Jerry raised an eyebrow in surprise; then, noticing Li Ang’s unwavering gaze fixed on the woman, his lips curled into a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop thinking about it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching into his pocket, he brushed against a soul-communicating anomaly, then subtly nudged Li Ang with his elbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s already married! She filled out the registration form this morning—her marital status is listed as married!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t mean that... and married? Then Anna must be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried his sister might be a hidden “Cao Cao,” his temples still throbbing, Li Ang ushered the two into the office and had them sit on the visitor’s sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing the shopping bag containing the black goat at his feet and pulling out a small personal notebook, Li Ang gripped his homemade charcoal pencil and asked politely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, I need to gather some basic information—could you please tell me your name again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Veronica.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Ang, whose expression was gentle yet subtly distant, Princess Wang Nuwei sighed inwardly, then chose not to reveal her connection to him, instead answering his questions cooperatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming through the black goat’s soul vision that she had told no lies—everything she’d said so far was true—Li Ang gave Jerry a subtle OK gesture, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What abnormal conditions have you experienced? And how did you come to know about our Clearance Bureau?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The abnormal condition... since yesterday noon, everyone has forgotten me. As for how I knew about your Clearance Bureau—I’ve always known you existed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the man who had been her Prince just yesterday, Princess Wang Nuwei spoke with a complex expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might find it hard to believe, but before yesterday noon, I was this nation’s Princess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jerry frowned and cast a questioning glance toward Li Ang beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That can’t be right. I remember the Emperor only had one son—where did this Princess come from? Is she lying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, she’s not lying—at least, she truly believes it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head slightly to give Jerry a negative answer, Li Ang, his mind still muddled, rubbed his temples and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So... from when you first noticed the anomaly until now, a full night has passed. Did you contact any relatives or close friends? Did their memories fail to return?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I managed to contact some of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Wang Nuwei sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But everyone forgot me—even my personal maid, who always stayed by my side. No matter how many details I recounted, she refused to believe I was the Princess, even tried to call guards to arrest me. I knocked her out and escaped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for my family—I can’t enter the Wang Gong now, so I haven’t had the chance to reach them or test whether I can restore their memories.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions are still insufficient to determine the true situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the Princess’s account, Jerry immediately gave Li Ang a look,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>signaling him to ask more pointed questions—to see whether this woman suffered from delusions or was truly affected by an anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang returned a knowing glance, sat up straight, and fixed his gaze on Princess Wang Nuwei’s eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I apologize, but my next question may be intrusive—please try to answer honestly: Have you ever considered the possibility that you’re not actually the Princess, but experiencing some kind of hallucination?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having pondered this all night and prepared herself, the Princess shook her head firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m certain—I am truly this nation’s Princess, and I have a way to prove it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she glanced at Li Ang—his clothes reeking of alcohol, his expression clearly weary, a faint lipstick smudge on his collar—and frowned slightly before continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, have you heard of yesterday’s Lyon family succession ceremony?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lyon family succession ceremony?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Princess Wang Nuwei’s words, Li Ang and Jerry exchanged a surprised glance, then both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard something about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just heard—I was there yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering the woman’s question, Li Ang’s head suddenly spun, as if something was about to surface from his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he tried to grasp it, it felt like reaching through an invisible thick pane of glass—no matter how hard he stretched, he could only touch a cold, solid barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was there too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Li Ang, whose eyes were growing confused and who began unconsciously pressing his temples, Princess Wang Nuwei felt a flicker of hope, then clenched her fist and said earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It may sound strange to you, but the Emperor doesn’t have just one son—he has an elder daughter, and that daughter is me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday, I secretly went to Lyon Manor to observe the succession ceremony. But as soon as I entered the hall, I heard someone propose marriage to me—with the entire Lyon family as the dowry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Ang’s head grew even more muddled. He raised his hand, frowning sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s assume you truly are a Princess—but are you certain someone proposed to you with the entire Lyon family as dowry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m certain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I have no memory of such an event occurring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang rubbed his temples:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only one person has the status to offer the entire Lyon family as dowry. You may not have met me, but I am actually...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are the new Lionheart Duke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Princess Wang Nuwei cut in, naming his title. Looking into his astonished eyes, she spoke slowly, deliberately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The man who proposed to me yesterday... was you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I accepted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid Jerry’s shocked look—“You actually did that?”—Li Ang waved his hands frantically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible. If you really are the Princess, and you accepted my proposal, then...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should have a corresponding badge, and my rank should’ve started at Silver, maybe even Gold... Holy shit—is this real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He idly opened his system panel and saw the dazzling golden [Thrush Prince] glowing in his slot. His mind slammed like a sledgehammer—everything went chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I really propose to her yesterday? Then she really is the Princess?\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b4735ee1632a136b66d1e921547d919ac26a38e3c3c2af9e32d55cf468e75927","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-176","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-174",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
