Tao Yu snorted with laughter, handing him chopsticks and a bowl. They chatted and laughed, and the meal passed quickly. Before they could rest, someone came to call Yue Linze, who had to leave reluctantly.
Tao Yu, seeing him looking back repeatedly, said, “Don’t worry, I’m not leaving now. I’ll wait for you to finish work and leave together.”
Yue Linze’s eyes brightened, but then he hesitated, “But I might take a very long time.”
“I’ll wait no matter how long,” Tao Yu said, then stood on tiptoe, pulled him down, and gently kissed his eye corner.
Yue Linze was stunned, not expecting to hear such words. He finally came to his senses under Tao Yu’s urging, gave her a deep look, and then left.
As soon as he left, Tao Yu’s expression darkened, planning to spend the afternoon finding out about the mysterious person.
There were only four people in charge of the sacrifice. Finding out who was involved would be easy. She just needed to find out who, besides the deputy personality, was more involved in those laws. She looked at the half-finished meal on the table, tapping her clothing corner lightly.
★ City Lord is Sick 7
Tao Yu thought for a moment, then began to tidy up the table. After cleaning up, she went to the inner courtyard of the government office.
She had been here once before, and most people recognized her. She hadn’t walked far when about ten people had already approached to speak with her. A secret investigation was impossible, so she might as well be more straightforward.
With this in mind, Tao Yu smiled and searched around near the previous study, her gaze settling on a young servant sweeping the yard.
“Excuse me, is this where the city lord and others discuss matters?” Tao Yu softened her voice.
The servant, who was lowering his head to sweep, looked up when he heard the voice. Seeing it was Tao Yu, he quickly knelt and bowed, “Responding to the lady, yes, it is the study. However, the city lord and Lords Zhao and Li just went out. They’ll probably return when it’s dark, like before. Now, only Lord Tong and Lord Wu are inside.”
