Chapter 1042 Fool!

Tang Yingying brought the female investigator into her room. She appeared calm but in actual fact, she was extremely nervous. However, her heart was surprisingly beating at a steady pace. She was surprised that she was still able to maintain her cool at this moment.

“Ah, what’s that?” The female investigator reenacted the scene that happened in Li Yinfei’s room.

Tang Yingying’s heart skipped a beat. She thought that her heart would stop beating but to her surprise, she managed to remain composed right after the shock she initially experienced.

As her heart beat steadily, the agitated Tang Yingying calmed down. She glared at the female investigator and said, “Why did you shout so suddenly? What did you see?”

“Don’t you know what that is?” The female investigator looked at Tang Yingying coldly. “Miss Tang, you should think about how you’ll explain to Mai’er Fa.”

Compared to Li Yinfei, Tang Yingying was much younger and inexperienced, so the female investigator wasn’t afraid of her and was much more aggressive with her accusations.

Tang Yingying was frustrated when she saw the confident and arrogant expression on the female investigator. She wanted to scream out loud and ask her cousin brother to kill this lady.

At that moment, a refres.h.i.+ng aura suddenly flowed into Tang Yingying’s head. She regained her composure and reacted quickly. She said furiously, “What do I need to explain? The person who should be explaining is you!”

Tang Yingying was angry but not nervous. The coldness on the female investigator’s face disappeared. She said nonchalantly, “In that case, let’s go over and see what’s over there.”

Tang Yingying snorted. “I want to know what is over there too. If there’s nothing, you better give me an explanation or else.”

Tang Yingying was worried but her heart was extremely strong today. It was still able to beat steadily. This made her calm. Plus, she showed no loopholes in her expression.

The female investigator walked into a walk-in closet. Tang Yingying was afraid that her cousin and his friend were inside but she still encouraged herself and followed the female investigator in.

Fortunately, there was no one inside. There were only clothes. The female investigator inspected the other corners of the room. She left no suspicious spots untouched, but she found nothing in the end.

When she noticed that the female investigator didn’t find anything, Tang Yingying got confident. She demanded an explanation for the sudden scare she received at the start. The female investigator had no choice but to apologize. Then, she left the room dejectedly.

When she returned outside, the female investigator shook her head at the leader, expressing that she didn’t find anything. The leader was dejected but relieved at the same time. The workers from Beitang and Tang Yingying were furious at their insolence so they glared at the people from Mai’er Fa. The people from Mailer Fa had to apologize to them profusely before running away from the stars.h.i.+p.

After the people from Mai’er Fa left the stars.h.i.+p, Tang Yingying could finally relax. She was too nervous just now so when she suddenly relaxed, her legs gave way and she fell towards the ground. Suddenly, someone held her up and stabilized her body.

The strangest thing was, even after so much shock and torment, her heart continued pounding stably without any fluctuations.

Li Yinfei watched the people from Mai’er Fa disappeared from her gaze. Then, she turned and said to Tang Yingying, “Sister, it’s infuriating how Mai’er Fa is stepping on us but it also proved that something big had happened here. If we continued staying here, we might be in danger. Why don’t we leave this place?”

Tang Yingying agreed wholeheartedly with what Li Yinfei said. She appeared serious as she replied, “You’re right. I don’t want to stay in this stupid place anymore.”

She remembered the humiliation she suffered from the female investigator and said angrily, “However, this matter will not just end like this.” She turned around instantly and shouted, “Grandpa He, send Mailer Fa a complaint and ask them to give me an explanation. Also, send them a request for us to leave this port. We’re going home!”

“Yes, young miss.” Tang He’s calm voice sounded behind Tang Yingying. The dignity of the Beitang family couldn’t be violated easily.

Within the few minutes, the request to leave the port reached Mai’er Fa. At the same time, their complaint was sent over too. Li Yinfei’s letter, which was filled with hidden meaning, was also sent to the administration of Mailer Fa.

At that moment, the search team was reporting their findings to their chief.

“So there’s no problem with Beitang family’s stars.h.i.+p, right?” The chief frowned.

“Yes. The female investigator we send this time has a special innate talent. Although her physical skills is average, her innate talent is exceptional,” the leader of the search team said in a low voice.

“Oh?” The chief was curious.

“It’s Body Inspection! She can hear heartbeats and detect hidden emotions of people around her. That way, she will be able to determine whether the person she’s inspecting is speaking the truth or not.”

“What the result” The chief was curious.

“We went to inspect most areas together. The domain realm masters who specialize in investigation confirmed that these areas are safe. The only places they didn’t go to was Miss Li and Miss Tang’s room.” The leader of the search team continued, “These two places are more sensitive so Miss Li hoped that we will just send one female investigator in instead. We agreed to her request in the end. We sent the female investigator who had Body Inspection.”

“Miss Li was very open. No matter how the female investigator tried to fool her, she gave no reaction.” The leader gave a bitter smile. “She even saw through the female investigator’s scheme and gave her a warning.”

“Either she’s guilty or she prepared beforehand and isn’t afraid of the search.” The chief looked at the letter sent by Li Yinfei. He shook his head. If they were really guilty, Li Yinfei wouldn’t act so rashly. She would lay low for a few days and leave secretly after some stars.h.i.+ps left the port. She would try to hide among the other stars.h.i.+ps and not be the first one to apply to leave, as this would catch all their attention.

“What about Miss Tang?” Compared to Li Yinfei, the chief suspected Tang Yingying more. After all, from the information they received, one of the people they were pursuing was related to the Beitang family.

“There were fluctuations in Miss Tang’s heart rate but it coincides with the shock she got and her anger. Other than those times, her heartbeat was stable. She didn’t show any signs of nervousness or frustration. She’s probably innocent.” The leader reported what the female investigator told him.

“They’re all innocent?” The chief felt a little worried.

“After the search, they voiced out their complaints and requested to leave the port. This is what a little girl who was bullied would do.” The chief touched his chin. “Do you think I should believe them?”

The leader pretended that he didn’t hear anything. He gave a confused smile. He was not stupid. If his answer was wrong, all the blame would be pushed to him.
