Despite having to work overtime at night, Lu Ye didn't resist this kind of thing.
He had already witnessed enough of the darkness in the capital.
In just the short time he served as the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, he sensed the sickness of the country.
With the economy in decline, people are struggling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, officials at the top protect each other, and evil breeds like a disease in an underground sewer.
Almost every morning, Lu Ye receives reports of missing persons or murders.
There are as few as one or two cases, and as many as five or six.
Investigating these cases is sometimes not difficult, but it is very difficult to continue.
Following the clues, once the big scoop is uncovered, Lu Ye will be "warned" by his superiors not to investigate further.
At this point, he would most likely know what was going on.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. If it's possible, I'd like to ask for your help using your position," Najenda said.
"Tell me about it, I think I can help."
"It's like this, do you know Anning Road?"
Anning Road?
Lu Ye immediately remembered this place.
At least he put some effort into memorizing the terrain of the capital.
Anning Road is a gathering place for a group of believers. Based on the belief that doing more good deeds will bring happiness and longevity, it is a religious group with a large number of followers. On average, one in three people in the capital is a believer. Because of its harmless nature, it has also been recognized by the capital.
"I know, what happened there?"
“According to Leone’s intelligence, there’s been a rumor circulating around that area about a ‘miracle drug’ that’s supposed to cure any ailment,” Najenda said. “If possible, I hope you can investigate whether it’s a scam, because according to Leone, almost everyone who drinks the drug goes crazy afterward, even though they’re initially ecstatic.”
"go Ape?"
"Yes, it will randomly attack people around it, and its behavior will become like that of a wild beast, devoid of any self-awareness." Najenda's expression turned serious. "The people of the capital are those we must protect. We must find the distribution channels and manufacturers of that drug and bring them to justice!"
"I'll look into it."
"That would be perfect. I won't disturb your rest any longer... But wouldn't it be better if you took a shower first?"
Najeta's gaze shifted downwards.
Lu Ye then noticed that there were some oil stains on his clothes, which he guessed he had accidentally gotten them on while cleaning the dishes.
"I just saw Akame come out, and now there's no one in the bathroom."
After saying that, Najenda left on her own.
Lu Ye picked up the clothes and smelled them; they did indeed have a odor.
Since I was wearing a shirt, my skin must have been stained with oil...
I should go take a shower; the bathroom is empty anyway.
Thinking this, Lu Ye went to the bathroom.
But when he pushed open the door, a tender, unripe body appeared before him.
Chapter 225 The Peculiar Girl
But when he pushed open the door...
A tender,
Like an unripe fruit
His body appeared before them.
Her wet, golden hair hung down, and her fair skin, fresh from the bath, had a touch of rosy pink.
There was no fabric on the smooth skin.
The girl's body curves were as graceful as spring mountains.
Lu Ye was stunned.
He hadn't expected Violet to still be in the bathroom.
The girl who had just come out of the bath was very beautiful; her delicate body reminded people of a newborn fawn, making her all the more endearing.
Lu Ye is not a saint.
Although he had seen the girl's body many times, he couldn't help but feel a little restless.
Violet's body is in the developmental stage, and her body undergoes small changes almost every few days.
Although Lu Ye spent every day with her, he was able to notice these subtle changes very well at night.
Especially when Violet was sleeping with her arms around his, her body was almost pressed against his.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu felt as if two little beasts were howling and arguing in his heart.
The white one said earnestly, "Little Leaf, you must control yourself. He's just a child. You can't force him!"
The black one scoffed, "Go for it, Lu Ye. She likes you, you like her, you're deeply in love, it's a mutual affection, how can you call it coercion? Are you even a man? If you don't use that thing, why don't you just cut it off?"
"But they don't understand anything yet, you're deceiving them!"
"Just admit you're a coward, why make excuses?"
Just as the two beasts, one white and one black, were locked in a fierce battle, Violet suddenly made a move.
"The water got a little cold, so I added some fuel," she said, tilting her head and looking at Lu Ye with an innocent expression. "Want to come and bathe together?"
"it is good."
Lu Ye blurted it out almost instantly, without any thought.
He felt as if the black beast in his head had defeated the white one and was now triumphantly stepping on it, proclaiming its victory.
Just then, the bathhouse door was opened again.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ye almost reflexively stepped in front of Violet to prevent her from walking away and being exposed.
Incidentally, there is a separate corridor leading to the bathroom. At the end of the corridor is a door, behind which are separate changing rooms. You need to go into each room separately before you can reach the bathroom. It has a Japanese-style feel to it.
Violet is right outside the locker room.
There's a dark, scorching opening here; it's where the bathtub is heated. The heat is delivered to the bathtub through pipes buried underground, heating the water.
"Violet, I brought you your towel...?"
The person who came in was Akame.
She was wrapped in a bath towel as she spoke as she pushed open the door.
He looked puzzled when he saw Lu Ye and Violet.
She left, bewildered.
A few seconds later, she came back in.
The scene before them remained unchanged: Lu Ye stood protectively in front of Violet, while Violet herself emerged from the water like a lotus flower, water droplets dripping from her hair onto the wooden floor.
"Could it be... that I disturbed you?"
"Huh? No."
Violet found this very strange.
Why say "excuse me" when you're just bringing me a towel?
"Really? That's good. It seems I misunderstood. Did you add more fuel?"
The last sentence was said to Violet.
"Yes, I added it."
As a reward, Akame patted Violet's head.
"That's great. By the way, Lu Ye, the water in the men's bath should be hot by now."
“I know, but you’re just like Mine, you’re really good to Violet, you treat her like a little sister,” Lu Ye said.
Akame was quite considerate to go get a towel for Violet while she was taking a bath.
"My sister...?" Akame's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Yes, I consider her my sister. I cherish everyone in the team. Even if any one of them were to die, I..."
"Alright, this isn't the place to chat. If you don't go take a shower soon, the water will get cold," Lu Ye interrupted Chi Tong.
"That's true! Let's go, Violet, I still have to teach you all sorts of hunting knowledge!"
With that, Akame composed herself, took Violet's hand, and headed towards the bathroom.
At this moment, Violet turned her head to look at Lu Ye.
She was about to say something, but she only saw Lu Ye put his index finger to his lips and make a shushing gesture to her.
My plan to take a shower is now ruined.
However, Lu Ye wasn't too discouraged.
Because he and Violet have a long future ahead of them.
Let her enjoy her friendship now.
However, he really wanted to hear what kind of hunting knowledge Akame was talking about.
……
The next day, in the capital.
Lu Ye was eating breakfast.
Violet was at Lubbock's bookstore at this time, where she would stay until Luye finished get off work, just like a child waiting for her parents to pick her up from get off work.
At that moment, a few people sat down in the seats next to them.
The people who dared to sit down so casually next to Lu Ye, the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, were naturally the trio of Iyeas.
The trio arrived as scheduled.
