Chapter 75: Imperial Might
d Guard Commander hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I still want to return to Qi State, General Jiang. Even if I accidentally contract the plague on the road, I accept it! It's better...Just like he had before in Wenxi County, Jiang Wang slowly walked the streets and alleys of Haimen Island.
Although I had already gone over all the available information about the nearby islands, I still needed to see everything with my own eyes to feel somewhat reassured.
Rescuing Zhu Biqiong is a near-impossible mission, its difficulty dwarfs even retrieving the Qingyun Pavilion. A hundred Qingyun Pavilions wouldn't compare to the might of the Dihai Tower.
Therefore, Jiang Wang had to think it over carefully, especially he couldn't let the people who accompanied him into the game suffer losses.
“Master Jiang!” Lin Youxie emerged from somewhere, chuckling. “I’ve got a room ready for you. Do you want to go back and rest now, or shall we talk later”
Jiang Wang wasn't without thoughts of ditching her halfway and slipping away by himself, but he always found a way to track her down.
By now, it's become commonplace.
"Quiet!" Jiang Wang suddenly hissed.
“Huh” Lin Youxie was completely oblivious to what had happened.
>
"This street has a problem." Jiang Wang's voice was extremely serious and tense: "Stay calm, don't look around nervously."
Lin Youxie blinked, indicating understanding. Yu Guang had already carefully observed his surroundings.
>
When she arrived, she had given a cursory glance around. Based on her years of experience as a detective, this street should have been perfectly normal. She hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. But seeing Jiang Wang so tense, she couldn't help but wonder if she had overlooked something.
Jiang Wang walked forward slowly, his expression calm. He only moved his lips slightly, sending his voice to Lin Youxie's ear: "Now we should part ways. I'll go back to the inn directly. You stay here and observe carefully, making sure not to alert them. Pay close attention to the old master in the jade shop behind you to your left, and the big man sitting by the window drinking alcohol ahead of you to your right. According to my observation, they are very likely related to Wu Yiyu!"
Lin Youxie kept a very good poker face, but his voice betrayed his surprise: "Master Jiang found the clue so quickly"
Actually, what she was thinking was, Jiang Wang was really looking for clues
According to her observations, Jiang Wang was not really interested in the Golden Needle case at all. Coming to the Qiongdao Archipelago clearly had other motives. The only thing he seemed to be thinking about was how to get rid of her.
“Keep your mouth shut while on official business.” Jiang Wang responded impatiently. “We need to avoid suspicion by staying apart right now. I’ll head back to the inn and wait for your news… Oh, and which room did you book”
Lin Youxie honestly said, "Number 3 with the character Jia. The registered name is Xiaomu."
"Okay," Jiang Wang replied casually. "Next time you register your name, remember to use Zhang Linchuan."
"Huh" Lin Youxie was completely baffled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Just do it.
Jiang Wang finally nodded deeply, then walked away by himself.
Only Lin Youxie was left on this nameless street in Haimen Island, walking around and around, observing the two people who were completely unrelated.
When Lin Youxie returned to Fuxing Inn with a surge of demonic energy, banging on the door repeatedly, Jiang Wang had just finished his cultivation.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Youxie's face was seen to be sullen.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Sir Jiang! I've carefully investigated, those two people have absolutely nothing to do with Wu Yiyu!" she said angrily.
Jiang Wang stretched lazily and said nonchalantly, "Oh really Did you check carefully Is there any possibility of a mistake"
Lin Youxie gritted his teeth and said, "I swear to the reputation of the Lin family's generations of blue plaques that there is absolutely no mistake!"
“Okay, thanks for your hard work.” Jiang Wang nodded in comfort: “Go get some rest.”
Lin Youxie's eyes widened. That's it
Unfounded speculation wasted a lot of my energy, and it had nothing to do with the case at all. Is that all Mr. Jiang has to say He doesn't even bother to reflect on himself
"Lord Jiang," Lin Youxie gritted her silver teeth, "Are you playing with me"
"How can you speak like that!" Jiang Wang was very dissatisfied: "How can you say that about a monkey!"
Lin Youxie took a deep breath and calmed down first: "Lord Jiang, you are wearing the blue badge of Qi State for investigation. This trip is not a joke, but you are shouldering responsibilities and carrying out missions. I am your teammate, not your enemy. This is the premise of this mission, and I hope you won't act rashly."
>
Jiang Wang was also very calm: "Let me ask you, what was your mission this time at sea"
“Let’s catch Wu Yi Yu together.” Lin Youxie said.
“It’s an assist! Assist me in capturing Wu Yi Yu. That inscription clearly states your duty, can you remember it By eliminating the wrong answers, don't we get closer to the right one”
Jiang Wang impatiently waved his hand: "Go check on the people in the downstairs guest room again. They've been making strange noises, I suspect they're involved too!"
>
Lin Youxie: ...
She endured and looked at Jiang Wang: "You said you weren't a bad person."
Jiang Wang looked straight at her and said, "As you said, good people can do bad things too."
> Hold on, hold on.
>
Lin Youxie told himself over and over again to hold back.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
I took a deep breath: "Understood."
She looked at Jiang Wang: "Then, my subordinate will take his leave first."
"Get out."
Jiang Wang was still that hateful, nonchalant look, perfunctorily waved his hand and coldly shut the door.

He rarely deliberately makes things difficult for people, but I hope Lin Youxie leaves in a fit of rage soon.
It turned out that Jiang Wang had underestimated Lin Youxie's resilience, and also her energy...
The next morning, bang bang bang, Lin Youxie came knocking again.
Jiang Wang had rested well and was in high spirits. With a fully charged state of mind, ready to face the new challenge head-on, she smiled and said, "Captain Lin, how did the investigation go"
Lin Youxie also laughed: "This official didn't go."
"Oh" Jiang Wang frowned and said, "Are you going to disobey orders Captain Lin, we are all working for Daqi. It is our duty, an obligation of righteousness. If you have this attitude, I can only send you back to Qiguo."
"You can no longer command me, Master Jiang."
Lin Youxie took out an iron plaque and waved it in front of Jiang Wang: "I was fortunate enough to be promoted last night. See City Inspection Department, Deputy Inspector. A fourth-rank civil post."
She observed Jiang Wang's expression and smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Jiang! We are now on equal footing."
The city guard commander Zheng Shi, although only a fourth-rank official, actually wielded more power than many third-rank officials.
Zheng Shi served concurrently as the Inspector of the Capital City, indicating that the position of Deputy Inspector held a high rank.
This position held no real power, typically serving as a symbolic title. However, it was quite effective in this situation. It allowed the fifth-rank Qingpai Captain, Lin Youxie, to be on equal footing with Jiang Wang. This prevented Jiang Wang from behaving arrogantly and forcing her to leave like she did yesterday.
Because of the rank of a Qingpai Capture Head, it was originally slightly lower than that of other officials of the same grade. The fourth-rank Qingpai and the fourth-rank Inspector Deputy Envoy were just about evenly matched.

What was truly startling was that Lin Youxie resolved the matter in just one night. Of course, there were still internal regulations and oversight within the City Patrol Department, otherwise Lin Youxie would have directly received a fourth-rank blue badge. Her achievements and abilities were insufficient, so she could only take the roundabout route of starting with the position of Deputy Inspector - a largely inactive role.
Jiang Wang sneered: "Nepotism, disgusting!"
Lin Youxie didn't take offense at all and smiled, "That's right. Someone who hasn't even solved a single case got directly promoted to a fourth-rank blue badge! This isn't using back doors, where is the logic It's truly shameless! Sir Jiang, what do you think Such people are absolutely detestable!"
"It's so despicable!"

Jiang Wang stepped aside to let him in, his face serious. "Master Inspector, please come in. I have some thoughts about the case of Wu Yiyu, the traitor from Jinyinmen. Let's discuss it."
