Chapter 264: Master's Wife

Beijing.

Luo Lin wore a pitch-black uniform, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at the news she had just received.

Daring not to linger for even a moment, she immediately set off for that towering building.

The vehicle stopped in front of the vermilion gate with red wood, and a curvaceous woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam walked with lotus-like steps to welcome her.

Luo Lin got out of the car and nodded in greeting to the woman in the cheongsam: "Special Commissioner Xie."

Xie Wanning nodded to acknowledge her, her red lips parting slightly as she asked, "No one knows you came here, right?"

"No, I didn't reveal my whereabouts to anyone, and I even deliberately changed cars several times on the way here."

Luo Lin replied.

"Good, come with me."

Xie Wanning turned and walked a few steps inside, the large gate behind her slowly closing, and she stopped at a blind spot in the line of sight.

Luo Lin quickly caught up and stood still beside Xie Wanning, naturally placing a hand on her shoulder; it was clear this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Xie Wanning did not speak, but instead raised her fair hands to perform a technique, finally interlacing her ten fingers.

"Whoosh!"

The two figures vanished from where they stood, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived outside that antique-style room door.

Xie Wanning knocked lightly on the door and then pushed it open to enter; in an instant, a rich, fragrant scent rushed toward them.

Luo Lin subconsciously took a deep breath, and even as a woman herself, she still could not help but reveal a trace of greedy covetousness.

The two stepped into the room, closed the door, and stood still in the center of the room.

This time, the owner of the room, that mature woman with a world-shaking appearance, was not sleeping peacefully on the bed, but was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a document.

"My Lady, Luo Lin has arrived."

Xie Wanning said.

The mature woman lifted her eyes to look over, asking in an unruffled tone, "What is it?"

Luo Lin bowed her waist slightly, her gaze falling involuntarily upon the woman before her.

At this moment, the mature woman was wearing a sheer lace nightgown, her pair of bewitching long legs crossed together, providing the ultimate temptation.

However, she leaned sideways against the back of the sofa, that lazy posture making one feel a sense of intimacy.

"Reporting to my Lady, Zhuque is dead; this was announced early this morning by Xue Zhangming, the Director of the Jinling Patrol Bureau."

Luo Lin said.

Upon hearing this, both Xie Wanning and the mature woman twitched their brows, their faces filled with shock.

The mature woman put down her legs, sat up straight, and her tone became serious: "Continue."

Luo Lin could not help but shiver; the change in the mature woman before her was too sudden and the contrast too great.

Clearly, just a moment ago she had been in a sexy state that made one's heart stir, but now she had become aloof, and that peerless face capable of toppling kingdoms displayed the majesty possessed only by an emperor.

A pair of extremely bewitching phoenix eyes were sharp enough to slice a person into a thousand pieces.

Luo Lin immediately put away all inappropriate thoughts and said seriously and respectfully, "The informant reported that it was Chen Che who did it. Moreover, this matter also involves a Martial Dao family in Jinling, the Fang Family.

There is a problem with the Fang Family, but the informant does not know the specifics, yet Xue Zhangming did not investigate carefully and just grabbed someone at random to close the case."

"In that case, this Xue Zhangming is also involved with the Martial Arts Alliance."

The mature woman pondered.

"My Lady, I believe Xue Zhangming does not have the guts."

Luo Lin explained: "Xue Zhangming has always been cautious; regarding a matter as big as the Martial Arts Alliance, he would absolutely not dare to collude."

"So what is your thought?"

The mature woman asked.

"I believe Xue Zhangming must have been wary of someone to act this way, and as for what kind of person could make him wary, that would be..."

Luo Lin paused deliberately and looked up at the mature woman.

The mature woman understood in her heart and let out a cold snort: "It is indeed only that person, but his identity is too special; without substantial evidence, nothing can be done."

"But if the Gu Family is truly involved, then Chen Che is in danger."

Xie Wanning said worriedly.

The mature woman shook her head and said, "If he wants revenge, every step will be dangerous; this is what he chose himself.

Furthermore, the Gu Family does not yet know his true identity, and we are suppressing the matter in Shanghai, so he will be fine for the time being."

"But as long as Chen Che continues to investigate, there will surely come a day when the mask is torn off."

Xie Wanning was still uneasy, "The poison in his body is not yet cured, it is not convenient for us to step forward, and the Gu Family is so special; it will be very difficult for him."

"Special Commissioner, I don't think there is a need to worry."

Luo Lin said: "Chen Che was able to kill Zhuque; his Martial Arts cultivation cannot be lower than an Earth Master. Judging by his age, this is already a legendary existence.

What's more, he has several mysterious people helping him by his side; I believe that as long as he wants to, there is nothing he cannot accomplish."

"That is correct."

The mature woman's red lips curled into a captivating arc, and she said, "The skills this kid has displayed are even more monstrous than his master's were back then.

Besides, the Gu Family is different from the Zhang Family in Shanghai; I have actually started to look forward to the time when he and the Gu Family tear off the mask, and I also want to know what secrets this Gu Family has."

Hearing the two say this, Xie Wanning felt much more at ease and did not say anything more, instead withdrawing with Luo Lin.

Only the beautiful, mature woman remained in the room; she put down the document on her lap and took a letter out of the drawer.

It was a handwritten letter from Chen Che's master, Taixuan.

The letter paper had already become rough, clearly having been read more than once.

She read the contents on it once again and chuckled: "Taixuan, this disciple of yours is truly just as written in your letter, even more heaven-defying than you; it is no wonder you would hand the Taiyi Sect Master Token to him.

But what were you thinking, you old bastard?! Although you only took a fancy to my yin-cold blood back then, I am, in name, your wife and Chen Che's master's wife; you actually wanted me to engage in dual cultivation with him to purge the poison!"

"You really do treat this Disciple better than your own son! Not only are you teaching him everything you know, but you even gave away a magical treasure like the Ghost Gate Needle just like that; you even want to give him the female Disciple and me."

"To be a master to this extent, you really are the first person in history!"

This master's wife in name only tossed the letter into the air, and it was instantly burned to ashes; her eyes were profound, revealing an indescribable yearning and longing.

"Good Disciple, let your master's wife take a good look at your skills again. If you can win against the Gu Family this time, I promise, I will definitely reward you well!"

…………

The Fang Family.

"My Lord, that is how the events transpired."

Fang Shaoyi stood timidly in the center of the Reception Hall, while Fang Yuying stood to the side, reserved, holding a cup of tea; she kept her head lowered but still could not help but steal glances at the person sitting in the main seat before them.

Sitting in the main seat was a woman; she wore a cloak identical to Zhuque's, but she did not wear the hood that was sufficient to cover her face, instead exposing her true appearance openly before the grandfather and granddaughter of the Fang Family.

"Is it really as you say? But the public notice from the Justice Inspection Bureau is not written that way."

The woman took a small sip of tea and said calmly.

Fang Shaoyi's expression froze slightly, but he replied unhurriedly: "My Lord, there is no need to doubt my words. The Fang Family is already deeply embroiled in this; I have no reason, nor do I have the guts, to deceive you."

Fang Shaoyi bowed his waist and spoke slowly and methodically, while cautiously observing the woman's expression.

Yesterday, the Justice Inspection Bureau issued a public notice stating: Class A wanted criminal, Zhuque, has perished at the Fang Family.

It even specifically commended the Fang Family for their actions in assisting with the capture of Zhuque and expressed deep condolences for those from the Fang Family who sacrificed their lives during this incident.

When he first saw this public notice, Fang Shaoyi was greatly shocked, unable to understand what was going on.

Fortunately, along with the release of the notice, Chen Che's phone call also came through, explaining that everything was within his plan.

On one hand, Fang Shaoyi was shocked that Chen Che actually had connections within the Justice Inspection Bureau; on the other hand, he was also amazed by Chen Che's meticulous mind and deep, calculating nature.

He knew very clearly that after the Justice Inspection Bureau released this notice, it was equivalent to telling the Martial Arts Alliance the news of Zhuque's death, and it also placed the only clue for an investigation—the Fang Family—right before the eyes of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Therefore, someone from the Martial Arts Alliance would definitely come to the Fang Family to inquire about the situation and hold them accountable.

In this way, the movements of the Martial Arts Alliance would enter Chen Che's view.

Whenever he thought of these things, Fang Shaoyi's heart, which had long since ceased to ripple over anything, could not help but be stirred with excitement.

At this moment, whether the woman before him sensed the fluctuations in Fang Shaoyi's heart or not, she set down her teacup and raised her eyes to look over.
