Chapter 1028

"Good!"

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath and immediately turned around.

"Wan'er, wait!"

Shangguan Wan'er turned back, curious.

"What is it?"

"Bring me two beauties on your way back, otherwise, being cooped up in the prefecture is a bit boring."

Shangguan Wan'er's face darkened, and she walked away, leaving only a cold voice behind.

"The ones outside are unclean. Except for Lu Luo, you are not allowed to touch anyone else, otherwise, be careful or I'll crush it!"

Gao Yang stared at Shangguan Wan'er's departing back and couldn't help but smile.

He turned his head and happened to meet Lu Luo's gaze.

Lu Luo's body trembled.

At this moment, she had only one thought: she wondered if she could handle it.

Gao Yang smiled deliberately.

"Luo'er, can you handle it?"

Lu Luo nodded, but quickly shook her head.

Gao Yang said with amusement, "Nodding and shaking your head—what does that mean?"

"If the Young Master doesn't take the Second Young Master's medicine, then there's absolutely no problem, but if you take one pill, then I might not be able to handle it."

Once these words were spoken, the smile on Gao Yang's face vanished instantly. He had intended to tease Lu Luo to lighten his mood, but now his mood was clearly even heavier.

He turned and walked away, as if he had made a decision.

"Young Master, where are you going?"

"To my room, to take medicine—a whole bottle!"

Gao Yang said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Lu Luo's small face turned deathly pale.

"Young Master, Luo'er begs you, don't! Won't that break me?"

She hurriedly followed him.

"..."

The government office.

Meng Ziyi stood in the center of the main hall.

He muttered to himself, "The Wu mother and son knelt all the way along Changning Street, arriving at the east side of Suiyang City, where the powerful and wealthy are most concentrated!"

"Using the evil of that young noble as a setup to lure the powerful into the trap and secure a good reputation—this 'Living Yama's' move of entering the game himself is truly terrifying!"

Behind him.

Private Secretary Meng Kun spoke, "Such methods are truly brilliant. In the entire Suiyang City, besides the Living Yama, no one else could use such an open scheme!"

Meng Ziyi did not speak. He wore a deep green official robe, his eyes looking gloomily outside, his face devoid of any joy.

"The Living Yama went to the orphanage, and with his methods, he even brought back the account book. Things are looking quite ominous."

He sighed, his face full of distress.

Meng Kun said, "My Lord, there is no need to worry too much. The 'Great Philanthropist' Liu does things very meticulously; he won't leave any flaws."

"Furthermore, that account book is fake; ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell at all. And some of the children have all been sent to good families through adoption."

"Those who were truly sent away have long since been quietly erased, with no records left behind."

Meng Ziyi's eyes were sinister. "In my opinion, we should have left no evidence behind. Leaving flaws is a sign of inferiority!"

"Now I only hope the Living Yama didn't notice and will return directly to Changancheng."

For a time, the two fell silent.

But just at this moment.

One of Meng Ziyi's trusted subordinates rushed in.

"My Lord, it's a disaster! The Living Yama sent his confidants out of the city; they are now nowhere to be found, and they are vaguely inquiring about news of ghost marriages in various counties!"

Once these words were spoken.

Meng Ziyi's expression changed drastically, and he collapsed into his chair.

His expression shifted, and he remained silent for a long time.

After a while.

He looked up and said to the Private Secretary, "Change my clothes. I must see the Head of the Liu family. Although the matter has been exposed, there may still be a turning point..." ===== CHAPTER 1030 =====
