Under the cover of night, Huang Jin walked out of the Supervisory Department's gates with Shen Tu Yue, who had put her veil back on.
Outside the gates, a group of reporters had been waiting for them for a long time, their cameras flashing dazzlingly one after another.
Over the past two days, the news that Shen Tu Yue had been taken away for investigation by Marquis Jing'an Li Fei had spread throughout the city.
Afterward, under Su Yifei's orchestration, all kinds of rumors flew everywhere:
"Did Marquis Jing'an deliberately frame Shen Tu Yue because he was worried about losing the martial contest?"
"Power has corrupted his original aspirations. A marquis is no longer a martial artist!"
"He wants both power and fame. Will Zhu Fenghua be the next person Marquis Jing'an arrests?"
"Did he reach number one on the Wind and Cloud Overall Rankings through his power?"
"."
Although many of these claims were obviously absurd at a glance, ordinary people really did love this kind of news.
The Great Blue Dynasty had no precedent of punishing people for their words, so some tabloids, in order to attract attention, dared to report anything bold as long as it did not involve the imperial family! For a time, Li Fei's reputation in Gan Province became rather poor.
Tonight marked the end of Shen Tu Yue's forty-eight-hour detention period. Reporters from many newspapers had staked out the Supervisory Department's gates ahead of time, wanting to see whether Shen Tu Yue would be released.
When they saw Huang Jin escorting Shen Tu Yue out, the reporters quickly surrounded them. "Miss Shen Tu, have you been released without charge?"
"Miss Shen Tu, will you still compete against Marquis Jing'an?"
"Miss Shen Tu, do you think Marquis Jing'an is afraid to compete against you?"
