127 Be a good boy and stay put

” What do you mean by this?” Zhai Tianyu asked as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was calmly looking at him while sitting on the edge of the bed with her head leaning on the back of her hand. ” I am the Emperor of this country surely I can find the culprit behind the murder of my aunt.”

After saying that he turned to look at his aunt, he didn’t say anything anymore but he did glance at Liu Hui Ying waiting to see what she was going to do now, after learning about her for so long, he knew that she was someone who wouldn’t let anyone get the top hand in a fight and sure enough, he saw her open her mouth, unknown to him a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to see what she was going say, even if she was to stop him then he would see what she wanted to say, after all, it will be really interesting.

The next second he heard her speak clearly, ” I do know that you are the emperor of this country but you need to understand that this case is under my investigation, you cannot cut in the line in between like this, your aunt came to me first and this is a typical case of first come first served...so would you mind getting lost?”

She didn’t even hide the contempt that she felt for him and went ahead to take the straightforward road.

Zhai Tianyu was so angry that he laughed, although it was a cold laugh, his laugh could bewitch the hearts of people in one sweep move.

Of course, Liu Hui Ying was totally unmoved by his laugh.

He looked at Liu Hui Ying who was looking at him like he was a bully trying to snatch her business, her expression was rather cute. ” Why are you looking at me like that? What are you going to do in this case? Do you even have any leads?”

“Why do you care about that?” Liu Hui Ying eyed him warily, in the detective department there were many times men tried to snatch the leads from her and then showed off as if they were the ones who found them. What if she was to boast unconsciously and then this guy would end up snatching such a good opportunity from her?

.....

Her eyes narrowed another inch as looked at Zhai Tianyu in an unfriendly manner, ‘this guy was sure sly he is trying to snatch my client, right from under my nose, but I won’t let him do it!’ She thought in her head as she scoffed and said, ” The leads I found all belong to me, don’t even think of snatching them, understand ?”

When Zhai Tianyu heard Liu Hui Ying’s words, he was stunned. He thought that Liu Hui Ying was just shooting blind arrows when she said that she can help his aunt but looks like she knew in which direction they needed to search.

” You..what do you know?” He asked, in the past, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to talk to Liu Hui Ying but now Zhai Tianyu couldn’t stop himself from asking one thing after another.

When they were matched to get married, it was Liu Hui Ying who would always take the initiative to talk to him but now the dynamics between the two seemed to have changed completely.

She told him that she was allergic to men and wanted him to stay away from her and he too has kept his distance, surprisingly, Liu Hui Ying has never come to him. Not once.

Even if she was another woman, should she not try to suck up to him? After all, getting closer to him and pleasing him was the only way to live a comfortable life in this palace but the current Liu Hui Ying would do anything but please him.

” What I know has nothing to do with you, does it?” Liu Hui Ying asked with a slight curl of her lips. ” I am the one who is in charge of this case if you dare to snatch it away from me then...” her gaze dropped to the unspeakable part of Zhai Tianyu and immediately a chill crawled up his spine as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and shifted ever so slightly before clearing his throat and saying, ” What are you doing? Where are you looking?”

” Don’t worry I don’t have such thoughts towards you,” Liu Hui Ying waved her hand when she saw that Zhai Tianyu was acting like some sort of young maiden who has been teased by the perverted landlord of her land. ” I was just warning you that if you were to snatch this case from me then I will do something that will make you regret your decision, do not interfere with my work. If you don’t then I will leave you alone but if you then you will not like how I will interfere with you.”

She was someone who did not like anyone interfering with her work, she has been taking care of all her cases with her ghosts, and never once did she need anyone what she hated even more than anything was when someone snatched her work from her. No matter how hesitant and annoyed she was by a case, it was supposed to belong to her and she wouldn’t let anyone off who took her work.

” Are you threatening Zhen?” Zhai Tianyu asked though it looked like he was reprimanding Liu Hui Ying, his face was devoid of any anger. He just calmly stared at Liu Hui Ying who twisted her neck while sitting on the bed and then curled her lips in a mocking smile. ” I am not giving you a threat, threats are often empty. I am warning you if you go against me and try to look for things that you shouldn’t, not only will you receive retaliation from me but you will also face something that you wouldn’t be able to fight. So, listen to me like a good boy and stay put.”
