I Am This Type of Woman

"Liu-daren."

"Count Cheng'an, please have a seat." Liu Banshan sent a subordinate to prepare tea. "Wonder what brings Count Cheng'an here today?"

"Naturally it's Duke Jingting's incident." Rong Xia replied, "Has Daren found something?"

"Where the flower pot came from is clear. The assassins are also not tight-lipped, they have answered everything, and they are not professional assassins. The tricky thing is finding the mastermind."

Liu Banshan did not intend to conceal the matters, when the tea was ready, he told his subordinates, "Everyone retreat. I will talk privately with Count Cheng'an."

Everyone at Dalisi knew that Duke Jingting was Count Cheng'an's future father-in-law. Whether he and Fule Junzhu was a real couple or not, Count Cheng'an still had to be involved so they understood why he was there.

After everyone left, Liu Banshan said, "Out of 4 assassins, one is still unconscious, and the other 3 are seriously injured. Master Count, Fule Junzhu's martial skill...... is not bad."

Rong Xia raised the cup to moist his lips, "Then I don't need to worry she would ever lose, excellent."

Liu Banshan stopped talking further, in a loud voice he said, "Count Cheng'an please be assured, xiaguan will definitely investigate this case as quick as possible."

"Rong-daren," The Director of Dalisi came into the room, raised his hands to salute Rong Xia. Rong Xia stood up and return it but the Director quickly moved aside to avoid the salute, "Rong-daren, we will investigate with utmost care. How could we trouble you to personally visit us here."

"Today happens to be my day off, so I am here to bother Daren. Hope Daren does not mind."

"Haha," The Director laughed, "Rong-daren is too polite. You are here today, xiaguan welcomes you so much." As the Director of Dalisi, he knew things that other people did not know, for instance, that His Majesty had his own secret agents. However, he did not know who they were, or who the leader was, this he could not find out.

He once suspected it was Rong Xia, but someone like Rong Xia was not suitable to be a secret agent. He could not make up this mind yet, but it did not lessen his deference to Rong Xia.

"Daren is handling this, I am certainly relieved." Rong Xia smiled plainly, "I just can't bear the thoughts of my fiancee being upset and terrified all the time, so I am here to bother you all. Hope everyone can forgive me."

The Director laughed drily, this was Count Cheng'an putting pressure on them.

"As for Duke Jingting......"

"Duke Jingting is shocked, he has returned to his residence to rest. And Fule Junzhu...." Rong Xia picked up his cup, after a slow sip, he gently scraped the rim of the cup with the lid. The Director felt his heart jumping up and down, wishing for Rong Xia to give him a relief.

"Junzhu is a woman, she grieves to see her father suffer. She is currently at the Palace for an audience with His Majesty." Rong Xia sighed, "Daren also knows how His Majesty is towards Ban family. This case should not be delayed, otherwise His Majesty would be angrier. Who can help if Daren is considered to have failed?"

"Many thanks for Daren's reminder, xiaguan will investigate this case closely." Dalisi Director felt more stressed. For some reasons Ban family was really capable, they did nothing but His Majesty valued them so much. Even in mourning, the rewards from His Majesty kept on coming. The Grand Princess did have the merit of saving the Emperor, but should His Majesty give them this much attention?

"Daren is busy, I won't bother for too long. Farewell."

"Rong-daren, take care."

After Rong Xia left, Dalisi Director walked up to Liu Banshan, frowning, "This case has neither the beginning nor the end, how to investigate."
