I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622: Chapter 238 Breaking In! Madam, Please Cooperate with the Investigation!

Early the next morning.

Huai Zhen Fang, Sky Scale Guard.

In front of the Fire Department’s Government Office, Assistant Officers were lined up neatly in the training ground, the atmosphere somewhat grim.

In front, Luo Huaijin stood with hands behind his back, his gaze as deep as a pool, scrutinizing everyone.

"You all should know, a lot has happened recently... Deputy Households Commander Chen might not be able to attend to matters at the Government Office for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions became solemn.

Recently, the events at the Imperial Music Bureau have spread widely.

Chen Mo severely injured the Heir of Prince Yu in public, and his fate is still uncertain!

There were over a hundred people present who witnessed it firsthand, causing a huge uproar both in the community and at the court!

"How did Mr. Chen get entangled with the Princely Heir?"

"It’s said that the two have long-standing conflicts, and they’ve clashed before, but Mr. Chen this time was a bit too impulsive."

"First it was Yan Zongqi, then Hundred Households Chu, followed by Vice Thousand Households Jian... and now he directly targeted the Heir! That’s a member of the Imperial Family!"

"To commit a crime in public with the intent to harm a member of the Imperial Family, these charges combined surely lead to severe consequences, if not death!"

"The Chen Family has previously offended many; I’ve heard that on the day in court, the Six Ministries and the Ministry of Justice jointly accused Mr. Chen. Though the outcome is unknown, things clearly do not look optimistic now."

The people of the Fire Department have complex feelings toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was transferred from the Water Bureau and made his way up to the position of Deputy Households Commander, gaining polarized reviews in the Sky Scale Guard.

As a subordinate, Chen Mo is considered a nightmare for superiors; having such an "efficient henchman" makes it uncertain when someone’s head might roll... but to these lower-level Assistant Officers, Chen Mo is a very competent leader.

He doesn’t covet wealth, doesn’t steal credit, is generous and kind, and looks out for his subordinates...

Moreover, his case-solving ability is superb; following him not only offers chances for meritorious achievement but also each time one can receive substantial rehabilitation funds, and he occasionally treats them to flower wine at the Imperial Music Bureau.

Except for frequently skipping duties, there’s hardly any fault to be found.

He stands in stark contrast to Jian Yinsan, who even steals life-saving money from subordinates.

Therefore, despite Chen Mo’s short tenure at the Fire Department, his prestige is exceedingly high, and no one wishes him trouble... after all, no one can guarantee what kind of disposition the next Deputy Households Commander might have.

"Ahem, silence."

Luo Huaijin cleared his throat, calming the slightly noisy atmosphere before continuing:

"Although I am nominally the acting households commander, the affairs within the pavilion are busy, and many times I find myself unable to attend to everything..."

The affairs of the Ding Fire Department and Bing Fire Department will be temporarily handled by Households Commanders Li Yuan and Qiu Longgang.

Luo Huaijin’s gaze paused on them, saying, "If there are any urgent matters that cannot be handled, they can be reported to the Qilin Pavilion."

"Yes."
