The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Li Shengmin could only offer a few words of comfort, but the situation was too difficult, and he truly couldn't help.

After Ding Xin was taken to the prosecutor's office...

Zhu Yang had considered going to the interrogation site to observe.

but...

Firstly, doing so would be too foolish, as it would be tantamount to exposing one's own weaknesses and making it clear that there is some shady deal between oneself and Ding Xin.

Secondly, Yoon Byung-wook was too domineering, directly sealing off the office area of ​​the Financial Tax Department 2, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.

so...

At this moment, Zhu Yang's thoughts were also racing, and he had no interest in working at all.

They prayed that Ding Xin would hold on; after all, it wasn't a formal arrest and interrogation, and if he could just hold on for 24 hours at most, there wouldn't be any problems...

On the one hand, they didn't want to sit idly by and wait for their doom, so they desperately tried to figure out how to get involved and get Ding Xin out...

at this time...

A slightly teasing voice rang in Zhu Yang's ears: "Hey, Prosecutor Zhu Yang, why are you spinning like a top? Aren't you dizzy?"

"Aish!"

Zhu Yang was feeling troubled at that moment.

Upon hearing this, he was immediately enraged and instinctively looked in the direction from which the voice came, about to open his mouth and start cursing.

But the next second...

He then discovered that the one who made that teasing remark was none other than Prosecutor Ahn Hee-yeon...

I don't know when this woman arrived.

There wasn't a single sound.

At this moment, he was looking at himself with a mocking expression.

no way...

Zhu Yang swallowed the curse that was already on the tip of his tongue.

His lips moved, and he asked with an awkward smile, "Oh, it's Prosecutor An Xiyan. When did you arrive?"

......

Chapter 383 Waiting for my good news

"I've been here for ages, you've been wandering around for ages..."

An Xiyan casually remarked, while casually walking past Zhu Yang and plopping down in his old seat. He tilted his head back and half-jokingly said, "What, do I really have no presence at all?"

"No, I was thinking about something and didn't notice..."

Zhu Yang forced a smile.

He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice when someone came to his side.

Then...

He squinted and scanned the surrounding officers.

It's as if they're saying, "Are you all dead? You didn't even say anything when someone came?"

I was captivated by his gaze...

These poor aides all lowered their heads again.

Ugh...

Who told them to have such a prosecutor as their superior?

You can't hit, you can't yell at, and you can't talk back...

I had no choice but to endure it...

"Really? What were you thinking about just now, so intently..."

An Xiyan asked with a smile, her hands not idle, casually flipping through the documents on Zhu Yang's desk, just like a normal visitor.

"Nothing, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Zhu Yang's eyes twitched, but he didn't stop An Xiyan. He took two steps forward, found an empty seat, and changed the subject.

"I heard there's been some big activity going on in the Financial Taxation Department 2, so I came to check on your progress..."

An Xiyan answered casually.

Upon hearing her mention the big move, Zhu Yang couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance on his face, but it didn't escape An Xiyan's notice.

next moment.

An Xiyan then asked with great interest, "What's wrong? Is progress not going well? Or... have they really found something on you?"

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

Zhu Yang took a deep breath. He was already annoyed, and now that she had teased him, he felt even more annoyed!

"Aigoo, so you were really distracted just now, huh? You really were hit where it hurts..."

Who is An Xiyan?

To put it nicely, they're carefree; to put it bluntly, they lack tact.

Seeing Zhu Yang's hesitation, she not only didn't back down, but instead teased him even more: "Looks like that Ding Xin is very important to you, huh?"

Oh shit!

If it weren't for the fact that we were in the same year and grade, and that we had collaborated...

Zhu Yang had already gotten up and was telling people to leave!

Is it over yet?

Zhu Yang rolled his eyes, too lazy to continue probing, and dropped the pretense, saying irritably with a straight face, "Stop making sarcastic remarks, I'm already annoyed. Don't just talk about me, how's your progress?"

"It's alright, but you know how it is, the pressure from above is really intense. Unlike you, I don't have a minister or prosecutor helping me..."

An Xiyan kept talking, but Zhu Yang became more and more impatient as he listened.

Ding Xin's matter was like a thorn stuck in his heart. Normally, he could patiently listen to An Xiyan's complaints.

But right now, he just wants to end their conversation as soon as possible.

Even if he's just wandering around aimlessly and getting anxious, it's better than chatting about pointless nonsense like this...

But...

Just as he was about to interrupt and end this pointless chatter, Ahn Hee-yeon changed the subject, smiling as she said, "However, this prosecutor is quite capable and has found some useful evidence. I can't speak for others, but arresting that bastard Park Ahn-cheol right now is no problem at all..."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yang felt a jolt of fear and stared wide-eyed at An Xiyan: "What do you mean?"

“That’s right, I can arrest and interrogate that bastard Park Ahn-cheol right now!”

An Xiyan nodded affirmatively at first, then said with a half-smile, "So, is this good news for you?"

Her attitude was casual, but her eyes were sharp.

This moment...

Her gaze was so profound, as if it could pierce right through Zhu Yang's heart.

It was only at this moment that Zhu Yang vaguely realized...

This crazy woman in front of me clearly came prepared...

Or rather, if she wanted to do it, she would have done it already. The fact that she came all this way specifically to tell herself this must mean she has some other purpose...

so...

Zhu Yang composed himself, stared at her, and asked the question that had been on his mind: "I admit this is a good thing for me, but what is your purpose?"

"My goal is simple: I just want one word from you!"

An Xiyan dropped her nonchalant demeanor, closed the file in her hand, sat up straight, and said seriously, "I don't care what your relationship is with that Ding Xin, but you must answer me honestly whether you have done anything immoral for him!"

A pause...

Looking directly into Zhu Yang's eyes, he added, "You know you can't fool me, so please answer honestly! Your answer will determine whether our cooperation can continue, and it will also determine my attitude towards you from now on!"

This is essentially her laying her cards on the table.

The implication was simple: she knew Ding Xin was Zhu Yang's weakness...

I also know there must have been some kind of deal between the two of them...

But she can ignore all of that...

in other words...

She is capable of helping, and has the ability to do so.

However...
