Deng deng deng…
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Ye Cangtian’s gaze slowly shifted to the door first.
The next moment, the large door opened.
Lu Junxiong opened the door, and a woman walked in.
The woman appeared to be around thirty years old, with impeccable beauty and figure, and an extraordinary aura.
Even Ye Cangtian, accustomed to all sorts of beautiful women, couldn’t help but steal a few glances.
"Ye Cangtian! What do you think this place is!"
"You've come here, and instead of cooperating with the investigation, you're causing trouble!"
"Do you want me to invite Old Master Xu?"
The woman glared at him, her face filled with gloom.
Ye Cangtian was stunned. He looked at the woman in surprise, then slowly came to his senses.
Those who entered the Huaxia Ruins from outside were mostly outstanding members of the Dragon Group. It was not unusual for them to know that his former superior was Old Master Xu.
However, upon hearing that the other party could invite Old Master Xu, Ye Cangtian’s expression became slightly unnatural.
It wasn't that he feared Old Master Xu, but rather felt a sense of embarrassment.
If the other party truly invited Old Master Xu, he would lose face!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced over and said, "Sister, I'm not causing trouble! Being brought to the interrogation room for no reason, wouldn't anyone feel resistant?"
Sis… Sis?
At this statement, Lu Junxiong and the other law enforcement team members’ mouths twitched instantly.
Within the entire Yin Group, they had never heard anyone address Elder Mingyue like this before!
"Don't call me that casually!"
"I am Dongfang Mingyue, you can call me Elder Mingyue!"
The woman’s face darkened. She specifically corrected him, clearly showing she was not pleased with the appellation 'sister.'
However, it was normal. No woman would like to be addressed that way.
Dongfang Mingyue?
Ye Cangtian’s expression changed.
He had heard from Jian Wusheng that Dongfang Mingyue was currently managing the Yin Group in place of Dongfang Hongwu.
And if he needed to investigate clues about the Tang Qingshan couple in the future, he would need Dongfang Mingyue’s approval to view the information.
He hadn’t expected to meet her under such circumstances. It was truly awkward!
"Uh, the title 'Elder' makes you sound too old."
"I'll call you Sister Mingyue then, it sounds more intimate."
Ye Cangtian immediately smiled brightly and apologized.
She was the person in charge of the Yin Group, and no matter how foolish he was, he couldn't afford to offend her!
Furthermore, if she could be the person in charge, she must be fair in her dealings, otherwise, how could she command respect!
"..."
The muscles on Lu Junxiong and the others' faces twitched instantly. Ye Cangtian’s behavior, viewed in a good light, was fawning, but in a bad light, it was flirting.
To dare to flirt with Dongfang Mingyue, this小子 was probably the only one in the entire Huaxia Ruins who dared to do so!
Truly a model of someone who wasn't afraid of death!
"Don't try to get close to me, I don't fall for this."
Although she said that, Dongfang Mingyue’s cold, pretty face softened slightly. She asked, "Tell me, what happened? Why were you causing trouble?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian sat down honestly and said in confusion, "I also want to know why I was brought here out of the blue, and why they attacked me without saying a word…"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue frowned and looked at Lu Junxiong: "What exactly happened?"
Lu Junxiong quickly replied, "Someone reported that Ye Cangtian attacked the Yin Group's Shuang Chi, cutting off one of Shuang Chi's arms, so…"
Internal conflict within the sect was a serious matter in the Yin Group. Although no lives were lost, to prevent the situation from escalating and causing irreparable damage, the Yin Group would intervene.
This matter?
Ye Cangtian was taken aback. He had always thought someone was plotting against him to frame him with a baseless charge!
But he hadn't expected it to be this.
To be honest, he really hadn't considered these things.
After all, Shuang Chi brought it upon himself. If this matter were blown up, Shuang Chi probably wouldn't fare well either.
"Ye Cangtian, how do you explain this?"
While Ye Cangtian was still thinking, Dongfang Mingyue's voice came. It seemed she intended to pursue the matter to the end.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment before replying, "Sister Mingyue, you can't blame me for this! Captain Lu brought me here but didn't ask me any relevant questions."
"Moreover, his attitude was terrible, and he attacked first without a word. I couldn't just suffer in silence, could I?"
"You… you… you’re talking nonsense!"
With those words, Lu Junxiong almost vomited blood. He swore right on the spot.
Who was being ill-mannered here?
After being brought to the interrogation room, instead of cooperating obediently, he acted like a VIP, crossing his legs. Did he think this was his own home?!
Who wouldn't lose their temper in this situation!
Was he wrong to take action?!
Now, the other party was trying to frame him. Lu Junxiong truly couldn't stand it.
"His attitude was arrogant, and he was smoking in the interrogation room…"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Cangtian directly interrupted him, "I was inexplicably arrested and brought here, I was nervous, what’s wrong with smoking a cigarette to relieve the tension?"
"You're talking nonsense…"
"Enough!"
Dongfang Mingyue let out a soft reprimand, her expression slightly displeased. She glared deeply at Ye Cangtian. She had a general understanding of the situation.
"This matter ends here. Now, I want to know, Ye Cangtian, why did you attack a fellow disciple?"
Lu Junxiong's face darkened. He had hoped Dongfang Mingyue would vent his anger for him, but in the end, it came to nothing, leaving him feeling truly aggrieved.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "Shuang Chi brought it upon himself. He ambushed my brother Yang Chen in the secret realm. If it weren't for the fact that he's a member of the Yin Group, I wouldn't have let him return alive!"
"Murder for treasure? Is there any evidence?"
Dongfang Mingyue frowned deeply. Murder for treasure was not uncommon in the Huaxia Ruins.
But if a member of the Yin Group committed murder for treasure, they would be severely punished!
This was also one of the reasons why the Yin Group was recognized by various families and sects.
"It wasn't murder for treasure! It was a vendetta!"
"And I don't have any evidence. The team had four people. Besides the three of us, the other person was Yuwen Chengji, and Shuang Chi is his subordinate."
Ye Cangtian said faintly. This was not the city. Even if modern electronic devices were brought in, they would malfunction. What kind of videos could be left behind?
Seeing the confused expressions on Dongfang Mingyue and Lu Junxiong’s faces, he quickly explained, revealing his grudge with Yuwen Chengji.
Such matters would be known if investigated by those who cared, and concealment was impossible.
Killed Yuwen Hao of the Yuwen family?
Lu Junxiong's expression changed again. His gaze towards Ye Cangtian clearly held more apprehension.
To be able to kill someone from the Yuwen family, and still evade capture, even entering the Huaxia Ruins, this person was definitely not simple. In short, he was a madman. It seemed it was best to provoke him less.
On the other side, after hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Dongfang Mingyue fell into thought.
Connecting the cause and effect, Ye Cangtian should not be lying, but…
"Ye Cangtian, without evidence, this matter is difficult to ascertain. If Shuang Chi claims you framed him, it's not impossible. How do you intend to handle this matter?" Dongfang Mingyue asked.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that!"
"Next time he provokes me, I'll send him directly here, and you can deal with him!"
Although he said that, Ye Cangtian’s heart was filled with killing intent.
The first time he ambushed Yang Chen and crippled Shuang Chi's arm was a warning, and it could be considered settling the score.
The second time he ambushed him in the forest, considering his cooperation with Yuwen Chengji along the way, he let it pass.
But if Shuang Chi dared to cause trouble a third time, then he shouldn't be blamed!
"That would be for the best, but remember to catch them red-handed."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded. She didn't know if what Ye Cangtian said was true or false, but she was very satisfied with this answer.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian said, "Elder Sister, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded in agreement: "Yes, you can go! However, I will have someone verify everything you've just said."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly at Dongfang Mingyue, not saying much else. He got up and left the interrogation room.
After all, everything he said was true, so why would he be afraid of them investigating?
