I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 985

"There are actually more than twenty thousand people affected by the poison!"

"If Mr. Chen hadn't intervened, it could have been a disaster!"

Kuang Jie quickly stepped in front of Chen Mo, bowed deeply, and earnestly said, "Thank you, sir, for saving the people!"

Earlier, his actions were driven by fear of the Hundred Household Officer's status, but now his bow was genuine. The man in front of him had saved not only the townspeople but also his own family and life!

"It's just my duty, Lord Kuang, there's no need for such courtesy." Chen Mo waved and said.

Hearing these words, Kuang Jie's face turned red as if burned by fire. This should have been the duty of him and County Magistrate Ji, but they ended up needing their superior to help clean up their mess. It was truly embarrassing...

However, his admiration for the man grew even deeper.

As the rumors said, Mr. Chen was indeed a good official!

As for the earlier scuffle, it had long been forgotten. It was just a minor flesh wound, after all, nothing significant.

Due to excessive use of Qi-Blood, Chen Mo's face looked a little pale. He asked, "County Magistrate Ji, are you sure everyone affected by the poison is here?"

"I'm sure." Ji Weifeng nodded, "I personally led the government officials, knocking on doors, bringing anyone who attended the banquet, including their families."

Chen Mo heard this and said nothing.

After a brief pondering, he spoke, "Lord Kuang."

Kuang Jie jolted and responded, "I'm here!"

"Are you familiar with the situation in Bailu City, Tiannan State?" Chen Mo asked.

"I am originally from Bailu City, but was transferred to Nantu..." Kuang Jie thought of something and lowered his voice, "Do you think there are Demon Sect followers there as well?"

"It's inconvenient to talk here. Come in, and we'll talk inside."

Chen Mo stepped into the public hall, with Kuang Jie following closely behind.

Ji Weifeng didn't dare to idle and began directing the government officials to maintain order at the scene.

Li Yuan bit her lip lightly, looking at Chen Mo's back with a hint of worry.

Xu You noticed her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen is just a bit overexerted; his foundation is fine. A few days of rest and he'll recover."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Ahem, but..."

Xu You cleared his throat and said, "He needs to rest quietly in this state, so try not to excite him too much. It's best if you, Households Commander Li, restrain yourself and avoid sneaking into his room every night."

"Hmm... huh?!"

Li Yuan was startled, and then her cheeks flushed as she stammered, "Mr. Xu, you know?"

"Come on, I'm not blind." Xu You rolled her eyes and said, "The look in your eyes when you look at Mr. Chen almost has strings attached, clearly going beyond the superior-subordinate boundary... But don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. Just try to restrain yourself."

"Is it, is it that obvious?"

Li Yuan lowered her head, her ears burning red.

Although their relationship wasn't much of a secret, it was still embarrassing to be called out like this.

Xu You said nothing more, her eyes flickering.

Even if she couldn't stop them, a few quiet days would be nice.

And considering that Li Yuan probably wouldn't visit Chen Mo tonight, didn't that mean her chance had come?

Remembering Chen Mo's "fierce" nature yesterday, pushing the accelerator to the limit, almost indifferently disregarding her wellbeing, Xu You couldn't help but mutter under her breath:

"Pah, this empress won't let him bully me!"
