What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 580

[Inside the Dingling City Lord’s Mansion.]

[Jiao Hekang knelt respectfully on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Lord of the city, Ye Yu from Kushan City has been brought into the city. What do you think we should do next?"]

[On the throne sat a man with a stern face.]

[This was none other than Xiao Jibo, the Lord of Dingling City.]

[He seemed not to hear Jiao Hekang’s words.]

[Still, he was absorbed in reading a novel that had recently become popular in the underworld — Kushan City Storms.]

[Jiao Hekang was not anxious at all, but knelt respectfully and waited.]

[After a long time.]

[Xiao Jibo finally closed the novel and said: "Hey, I’m really puzzled. How can someone’s story be so captivating?"]

["It’s just killing ghosts."]

["Yet the story is full of twists and turns, emotions cranked to the max."]

["That kid Lang really is a genius."]

["By the way, any news on finding Lang?"]

[Xiao Jibo’s voice carried a slight dialect.]

[It sounded quite humorous, forming a strong contrast with his stern appearance.]

[Jiao Hekang lowered his head slightly and said seriously: "None so far, but I have assigned people to continue investigating. Once there is news, it will be reported immediately."]

[Xiao Jibo tapped the armrest of the throne lightly. After a moment, he said with some difficulty: "Forget it, time waits for no one. It’s time for me to leave as well."]

["Continue searching for Lang’s whereabouts. Once found, have him write Kushan City Storms 2 for me first."]

["This time, make sure he writes longer and faster."]

["At least twenty thousand words per day. If he can’t finish, hang him up and beat him!"]

["But remember one thing — no hitting the face or hands. I’m still waiting to see his writing!"]

[Jiao Hekang quickly agreed.]

[It seemed that their city lord had really become a fan of Lang lately.]

[He had also read Kushan City Storms — indeed very good and worth following.]

[Just a bit short; if it were longer, it would be even better.]

[Xiao Jibo stood up from the throne and came before Jiao Hekang.]

[He said softly: "Alright, there’s nothing else. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll meet again in a hundred years."]

["As for that Ye Yu, tomorrow we proceed according to our previous plan."]

["At that time, in front of all the senior officials, we will forcefully question him about that ghost technique’s whereabouts."]

["Whether he admits it or not, just kill him directly."]

["Doesn’t he like to settle accounts for others?"]

["Then let him settle it to the end."]

[After hearing this, Jiao Hekang hesitated and asked nervously: "Lord of the city, are you really confident letting me handle this alone?"]

["And if you’re not here, will those seniors believe this matter?"]

[Xiao Jibo sneered slightly and said loudly: "I’m really puzzled by you, why worry so much?"]

["Whether they believe it or not is their business. The reason I let you do this is just to give them a way out."]

["Whether they believe it or not, they won’t dare to ask another question."]

["Because they all know very well — if they don’t take that way out, they die!"]

[Listening to this domineering declaration, Jiao Hekang’s heart stirred.]

["Indeed, the Lord of the city is still the Lord of the city."]

[After arranging everything, Xiao Jibo’s figure slowly vanished where he stood.]

[Leaving Jiao Hekang alone in the vast city lord’s hall.]

[The next morning.]

[Ye Yu was woken up early by someone.]

[To be fair, the room arranged for him in Dingling City was really quite nice.]

[Even without violence, at least ask one ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) question to understand their attitude.] 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[Four ghosts sat atop it — three men and one woman, all wearing black robes embroidered with golden Dingling characters on their chests.]

[They looked extremely high-class.]

[But puzzlingly, there were only four of them, yet five seats — the central seat was empty.]

[Before Ye Yu could think more.]

[In the next moment, Jiao Hekang appeared in the room as well.]

[He first slightly bowed to the four ghosts on the platform and then said softly: "Reporting to the four deputy city lords, Lord Xiao is occupied with some matters today and cannot attend the trial, so I am here to represent him."]

[Hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.]

["A trial, huh? That sounds really grand."]

["If you didn’t know, you’d think I did something earth-shattering."]

["Truly ridiculous."]

[Compared to Ye Yu’s relaxed attitude, the four ghosts called deputy city lords sitting on the platform did not look happy.]

[Their faces were gloomy, and after a long silence, one slowly uttered: "Good."]

[Then, the ghost sitting to the left of the central seat slowly stood up.]

[His burly figure gave off an overwhelming pressure.]

[He was the second city lord of Dingling City, Gu Mingdong, the city’s number two figure on the surface.]

["Commander Jiao, tell me, will you interrogate, or shall I?"]

[Hearing this, Jiao Hekang said softly: "Second City Lord, whoever interrogates is fine!"]

["Then I will."]

[Gu Mingdong’s figure flickered and instantly appeared before Ye Yu.]

[His burly body was over three zhang tall — a genuine giant.]

[He looked cold and said gloomily: "If you don’t tell the truth soon, your consequences will be terrible."]

[Ye Yu said softly: "I can talk, but did you ask?"]
