After the examination, Su Yan sniffed the nostrils of two other deceased individuals and the corners of her mouth revealed a knowing smile.
Chu Yuxiao looked at her smile and grew puzzled.
Had she discovered something?
"Alright, my inspection is finished, I shall take my leave."
Su Yan smiled mysteriously and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Behind her, Chu Yuxiao's cold voice rang out.
Su Yan secretly smiled with pride in her heart.
She knew he would call out to her because both men and women are animals brimming with curiosity.
She had intentionally shown that knowing smile just to wait for his command to "Stop."
After all, he was the one so full of himself she wanted to suppress his arrogance.
Turning around, Su Yan's face bore a light smile, with a voice lacking the previous enthusiasm,
"Does the Marquis have any further matters?"
"What have you found?" Chu Yuxiao asked.
Su Yan immediately shook her head, "Nothing, I found nothing."
Her quick shake of the head only made Chu Yuxiao more convinced she had discovered something.
"If you withhold information, are you aware of the consequences?"
He stood up and slowly walked towards her, step by step, with the graceful ease of a cat.
Su Yan inwardly sighed; this man was devilishly handsome, and even his every move was enticing.
However, her infatuation with him had ended.
Looking straight into his eyes, she smiled with narrowed eyes, "The Marquis might know as well, but on one condition."
"You don't have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me."
"Is that so? Then I shall take my leave. You can slowly work on the case. When the entirety of Linglan City is in panic, we'll see how you cope with the aftermath."
A collective gasp rose from those around; this person actually dared to threaten the Marquis...
Which noble family's son was he, not knowing that in all of Linglan, the Marquis was the ultimate authority?
Chu Yuxiao didn't get angry, but instead, laughed. He reached out to lift a lock of Su Yan's hair and, with an ambiguous move, he leaned in to sniff it, whispering hotly into her ear,
"Tell me, what is your condition?"
Su Yan's earlobes, as white as jade, quickly reddened.
She took a step back, distancing herself from this dangerous charmer.
