Detective Ghost Empress

278 What are you going to do if I don’t move?

Ji Mo turned to look at Zhai Heng and said with a flickering smile, ” Vice commander Zhai, you do not believe the nonsense this man is saying right? There is no way that the crime investigation department will hide a criminal, you need to trust us with that… I mean everyone knows what the Ji family has done for his majesty in the past few years. You cannot believe this man and forget everything that happened in the past, we have been loyal to his majesty through and through for years!”

Since he could not dissuade Liu Hui Ying then he needed to dissuade Zhai Heng, he knew that as long as Zhai Heng agreed with him even if this man was one of his majesty’s close friends, he will have to bow down and give up his intention of searching and interrogating the people in the crime investigation department. Even though Ji Mo was certain that no one will say anything but this man was an oddball, he did not know the interrogation manner of this man.

Who knows what this man will do? Anything that he had no idea about, he has to be very careful with it.

Zhai Heng was once again put in a spot by Ji Mo because the words he used made it sound like Zhai Heng was actually suspecting the Ji family when he has never done that, he only came here because the Queen brought him. And not once did he suspect the entire Ji family because of one person even if the culprit turned out to be someone from the Ji family, it was not like he was going to start doubting the entire family but now because of Ji Mo’s words, Zhai Heng could neither go forward or backwards.

” Why are you troubling vice commander Zhai?” Just when Zhai Heng was thinking about whether he should go against Ji Mo and tell him that he should not interrupt him while he was working since he was not abiding by the rules.

He heard the Queen speak up for him, surprised he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who at some point stood in front of him and was now looking Ji Mo in the eyes.

” I am the one in charge of investigating this case and his majesty has given me the right to do so as I please, if you have something to say then you need to tell me instead of pushing that guy in the corner,” Liu Hui Ying stated as she looked at Ji Mo with a soft smile that did not reach her eyes playing on her lips. ” It does not matter what he says, as long as I say that we are going to interrogate the people of the crime investigation department, they are going to listen to me, end of the story!”

Ji Mo was so furious and speechless that he could not help but tremble. He has never seen a man this shameless and headstrong before in his life, not only was he refusing to listen to a thing that he has to say but he was even turning a blind eye to everything that he said!

” We are the relatives of his majesty, not once did we ever betray him! This crime investigation department is under the Ji family and your actions of questioning the people of the crime investigation department is similar to questioning our family’s loyalty towards his majesty!” Ji Mo spoke everything in one breath, and because he did all but scream, a nerve throbbed in his throat as he got a bit too close to Liu Hui Ying in the face, causing Liu Hui Ying to raise her hand and push him back with the tip of her nail.

.....

“There is no need for you to get this serious, Lord Ji,” Liu Hui Ying wiped her finger on her clothes, ignoring the way her hands started to tremble when the man got a bit too close and screamed at her. His stance reminded her too much of her father who would do the same to her mother every now and then.

She looked down at her fingers which were vibrating because of some slight tremors and then clenched them tightly to make it less obvious before turning to look at the man called Ji Mo again. She calmly blinked her eyes and remarked, ” I am not here to question anyone’s loyalty at all, all I am doing is my job and you, dear lord are interrupting my work.”

” My family——”

” Aiye, sheesh!” Liu Hui Ying snapped, her eyes finally filling with annoyance as she turned her head to the left and breathed out before turning to look at the man again in the eyes as she said rapidly, ” Just how many times are you going to announce your family has been loyal to the imperial family huh? So what if you were loyal to the imperial family in the past? It’s not the past anymore it is present and no one knows just how much you are loyal to his majesty now, so quit yapping in front of me like some sort of street rapper repeating the same line over and over again and GET LOST!”

As she screamed out loud her voice echoed in the entire room causing everyone to turn and look at Liu Hui Ying

” Street …rapper?” Ji Mo who didn’t understand the meaning of the words that Liu Hui Ying said to him was stumped. However, even if he did not understand what Liu Hui Ying said to him from the tone of her voice, he understood that she said something rude to him, which was why his face paled and he pointed to himself, ” Are you saying that I should get lost?”

” Yes,” Liu Hui Ying placed her hands on her hips and nodded with eyes wide and brows up. ” I told you to get lost!”

Ji Mo stared at her while breathing hard he looked at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun hoping the two of them would say something but when they did not, he turned to Liu Hui Ying and crossed his arms in front as he said, ” I am not going to move, what are you going to do about it huh?”

“This!” Liu Hui Ying stretched out her hand that had a handkerchief rolled around it and then clutched Ji Mo’s wrist before twisting it and pushing his head and back onto the table where he sat usually before hopping and sitting on his waist. ” I am sitting here unless you order your people to come here and answer my questions.”
