Rong Ming laughed in fury. "You must be joking. You call someone a suspect at the drop of a hat-are you the director of the Guard Bureau now?"
Just then, a lovely, refined female voice rang out. "Faya is as arrogant and overbearing as ever." The voice was so sweet that everyone involuntarily glanced toward its source. It was none other than Miss Tan Yuwen. She approached with graceful, unhurried steps, an elegant smile on her face. After giving Xiao Man a casual glance, she turned and smiled sweetly at Chen Mu.
Feeling the surrounding gazes converge on him, with all their envy and jealousy, he grew uncomfortable from head to toe.
Heavens, one monkey was enough trouble already. Two monkeys... how was anyone supposed to survive?
"Miss Tan Yuwen?" Xiao Man's gaze suddenly sharpened. Faya had clashed with Tan Yuwen more than once or twice. She had long heard how formidable this woman was.
"Oh, you know me?" Tan Yuwen glanced lightly at her, then regarded her as though she were thin air. "I've had quite a few tastes of Faya's methods. It seems wherever Faya appears, murder follows."
Xiao Man snorted coldly. "Miss Tan, there will be time to settle our grievances later. What are you trying to accomplish by shielding him?"
Her words were exceedingly clever. By pointing out their existing grievances, she could easily mislead others into believing that Tan Yuwen was only saying this to take revenge on Faya.
"Grievances?" Tan Yuwen seemed to savor the word for a moment, then suddenly smiled radiantly. "Faya has tried to assassinate me several times. That certainly is a deep blood feud. But..." She raised her smooth, flawless chin, her expression abruptly turning disdainful. "Who are you? Can you represent Faya? Naturally, I'll settle that debt with Faya.
