Chapter 673: Which sentence is the truth?

~7 min read 1,376 words

The Chengjin Sect seems a bit too active lately...

After reading the results of the investigation by Jie Rui's "friends" on the table, the red-haired director's fox eyes couldn't help but narrow, and then she bent her knuckles and tapped the table thoughtfully.

Previously, that toad forcibly smuggled in and descended at the shopping plaza of Charle Department Store, almost causing a large-scale casualty event. Later, it hooked up with several great noble families headed by Rose Ma Sai, and gathered many believers among the kingdom's nobles. The actions of the Chengjin Sect in these two months have already crossed the line a bit.

She should have taken action immediately to drive these rats in the gutter away, but she was dragged down by the Aquarius Director's matter, busy investigating the Aquarius Director with Beifuli, and never found time to take action to liquidate them.

And her "weak" behavior seems to have released the wrong signal to the people of the Chengjin Sect, making them misestimate her tolerance level, and they actually opened the gathering in the capital...

It seems that she has to do something ruthless to let the people of the Chengjin Sect remember the lesson!

After determining the attitude toward the Chengjin Sect next, the red-haired director stopped the habitual action when thinking, raised her head, and looked at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma in front of her.

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, what do you think about this news Leon found?"

"..."

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma?"

"Hmm... sorry, I was a bit distracted just now."

Hearing the red-haired director's confused call, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who came back to her senses, smiled apologetically, and then asked as usual:

"Director, what did you just say about Leon?"

"..."

Why do I feel that you have been a bit strange since you sent Leon back yesterday?

"I'm not talking about what happened to Leon. I'm asking what you think about this gathering news Leon brought."

Looking at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma suspiciously, but not finding anything too special, the red-haired director temporarily put aside her suspicion and continued to explain:

"Leon previously took the task of saving people at the Rose Manor. Over there, he met the Si Jiao of the Chengjin Sect's wealth-attracting lineage and learned about the Chengjin Sect's gathering. Then he threatened the people of the Ma Sai family that they must notify him immediately after getting the news of the Chengjin Sect's gathering."

"And the Ma Sai family sent someone this morning, saying that the Chengjin Sect is preparing to gather in three days, and the location is set on Red Cedar Avenue in the capital. Specifically, it should be in the basement of the Rose Manor of the Ma Sai family."

After briefly explaining the cause and effect, the red-haired director spoke out her thoughts.

"Compared to other hidden sects, the Chengjin Sect is the least harmful, but they haven't been very honest lately. They not only chose to gather in the capital directly but also brought three Si Jiao in one breath, so I want you to take a trip over there and let them be honest for a while."

"Okay."

After accepting this task without hesitation, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma glanced at the report on the table and then asked:

"To what extent should it be done? Completely exterminate? Or just catch those three Si Jiao?"

"As for the extent..."

Hearing Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's question, the red-haired director pondered for a while, and then said firmly:

"Why don't you bring the 【Judgment Coffin】 this time and see what the situation is with those Chengjin Sect people."

"If they belong to the kind with less harm, then you can be lighter. After all, the doctrine of the Chengjin Sect is not particularly extreme, and many people join just to restore limbs or see light again. There is no need to do it too absolutely."

"For those cat believers of the wealth-attracting lineage and snake believers of the wealth-devouring lineage, as long as their sins are not deep, then scare them and drive them away, so as not to let these people gather to do evil."

"But if the toad believers who are responsible for buying 'exchanges' such as limbs, health, and happiness come, and the 【Judgment Coffin】 also reacts, then kill them all, don't leave a single one."

"Understood."

After seriously listening to the red-haired director's instructions and remembering the mission goal, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma nodded slightly and got up to leave, but was called by the red-haired director.

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, did something happen yesterday?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?"

"Because I feel you are a bit wrong today."

Looking at her good girlfriend who turned her head in surprise and looked at her in confusion, the red-haired director narrowed her eyes and said firmly:

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, tell me the truth. Something else must have happened after you sent Leon back yesterday, otherwise you definitely wouldn't have suddenly been distracted... He didn't move his hands and feet on you, did he?"

"How is that possible?" Auntie Auntie Ai Ma laughed upon hearing this:

"What are you thinking? Leon is not that kind of person. I was distracted thinking about other things, it has nothing to do with him."

"Alright..."

Although she still felt something was wrong, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's expression was completely normal, and she couldn't see anything wrong. The red-haired director had to temporarily put aside this thought, and then asked with concern:

"Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, how is your state lately?"

"Okay."

"Is the wound stabbed by the blood sword fish in the Laien Port mission healed?"

"It healed long ago."

"The 【Judgment Coffin】 consumes so much, can your body still hold up?"

"No problem."

"Leon really didn't harass you yesterday?"

"Really didn't..."

Looking at the red-haired director who asked again after a few not-so-sincere concerns, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma said helplessly:

"Olivia, if you do this again, I'm really going to be angry."

"Fine, fine, I won't ask, okay?"

After sighing, the red-haired director pouted:

"In short, be careful. When people are drunk, their self-control decreases, and they often reveal the thoughts they have been suppressing... Anyway, Leon is not as honest as he looks. I think he definitely has some thoughts about you. Don't be really..."

"Olivia!"

"Fine, fine, I won't say it, I really won't say it this time!"

After surrendering under Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's slightly annoyed gaze and honestly watching her leave, the red-haired director stared at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's back, looked at the four marks of one red and three black on her back, and couldn't help but frown and think.

She asked Auntie Auntie Ai Ma four questions, and her answer was one false and three true... So did Leon harass her yesterday or not?

……

"Achoo!"

"I told you to wear more, you caught a cold!"

After glaring at Leon, who was wearing autumn clothes in winter and looked very "thin," Anna took out the scarf she had prepared long ago and handed it to Leon, and also took out a pair of gloves from her bag.

"Put it on quickly, don't try to be brave!"

"I'm not trying to be brave, I'm really not cold... Alright, I'll put it on."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are not cold... Put on the gloves too!"

"Oh..."

Rubbing his nose that was always itchy, Leon, whose family status had plummeted because he "tried to be unfaithful," had to take the scarf and gloves under his sister's glare and honestly put them on.

But to be honest, although the strengthening brought by the 5 points of infection value was already a bit cold-and-heat-resistant, after putting on the scarf and gloves and blocking the cold wind pouring into his neck and cuffs, he was really much more comfortable.

"Stand still, don't move."

Standing on tiptoe to straighten the scarf on Leon's neck, and after blocking the last place where wind was blowing inside, Anna couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, then reached out and took Leon's arm.

"Let's go, it's rare that you have time today, just in time to go to the parent-teacher meeting for Melanney and the others!"
