I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 47: So What If You Kill Me? Kneel Down! (4000 Words, Combined)

Boom—

The rain outside the window grew heavier, as if the galaxy was pouring down; serpentine lightning streaked across the dim sky, illuminating the slightly surprised face of Chu Zhuo.

Chen Mo?

What is he doing here as well?

Beside him, Chu Chen pointed at Chen Mo and angrily exclaimed, "Dad, he’s in league with that woman; he was part of what just happened!"

He still remembered the grudge from that kick earlier; now was the perfect time to settle the score!

Chu Zhuo’s face darkened slightly, "Chen Mo, did you take part too?"

Holding his cup of wine, Chen Mo replied with an indifferent tone, "What, does Lord Chu want to arrest me as well?"

"In front of everyone, you caused someone serious injury; you owe me an explanation!" Chu Zhuo’s voice was cold and harsh.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Lin Jingzhu interjected:

"The one I beat was me; galloping through the market deserves fifty lashes—that’s your explanation."

"Your son just caused injury to someone, by law, he should be punished with eighty cane strikes..."

She glanced at Chu Chen, her lips curling up to reveal white teeth, "You still owe me eighty strikes."

Chu Chen’s back turned cold, and he instinctively stepped back.

Suddenly remembering he had backup, his step halted, and he straightened up to say, "Even if I did break the law, punishment should come from the government office; what right do you have to beat people?"

Clang!

Lin Jingzhu drew an iron badge from her bosom and threw it on the table.

"As an Investigator, if a criminal resists arrest with a weapon, I have the authority to administer punishment accordingly, any objections?"

Seeing the "arrest" character engraved on the badge, Chu Chen was momentarily dazed.

This woman had the demeanor of someone from the Jianghu, here in broad daylight drinking and listening to music, and she’s an arrest officer from the Six Gates?

And she struck without giving him a chance to resist arrest?

Shangguan Yunfei shook his head.

Lin Jingzhu was a "habitual offender"—Da Yuan Six Laws, Military Punishment, Yuan Law Explanations... she knew all kinds of laws by heart; she could argue a position even when in the wrong, let alone when she had the upper hand, she was truly unbeatable.

Even if this incident were taken to the government office, at most she’d be fined two months’ salary, which to her was nothing significant.

Chu Zhuo frowned deeply; the Sky Scale Guard were independent of the Six Ministries, and he didn’t truly regard a mere arrest officer.

Yet, Chen Mo, whose recent prominence was undeniable, was also involved, and being a Hundred Household Officer just like him, the situation seemed troublesome... he was uncertain about what to do next.

At that moment, one of the Purple-clothed Guards behind him spoke with impatience, "Lord Chu, please settle this quickly, let’s not delay the important matters."

These words served as a reminder to Chu Zhuo.

Having been followed by people sent by Young Master Zhou, they were probably assessing his capabilities; if he couldn’t handle even this minor matter, how could he be trusted with greater responsibilities?

Since the grudge with Chen Mo had already been established, offending one more time made no difference; only by holding tightly to the Zhou Family’s coattails would there be a chance for a turnaround in the future!

With this thought, Chu Zhuo’s gaze grew colder, deciding to take down this minor arrest officer first!

He raised his hand, and scarlet True Yuan converged, forming a giant palm in the air and smashing towards Lin Jingzhu from afar!
