Adjutant Li’s face flashed green and white, and his face was covered in sweat.

“I’m sorry, I was negligent. I thought that I could kill the target by releasing a poisonous snake.”

Feng Songjie’s eyes were filled with elegance and calmness. After a while, he flicked off a long piece of cigarette ash and said, “The venomous snake didn’t kill her?”

“Maybe it’s because of Third Miss’s foolishness that the poisonous snake was killed.” Adjutant Yang’s expression was very sullen.

They didn’t even kill a retarded girl. This was indeed negligence.

Adjutant Li hurriedly said, “I will definitely think of a way tonight…”

Feng Songjie’s eyes were dark as he said, “There’s no need. We’ll be discovered if we go overboard.”

Adjutant Li immediately became nervous. His lips trembled as he asked in a low voice, “But, Sir, are you really going to marry Bai Weiyang?”

At the thought that her superior was going to marry a fool, she felt indignant for him.

Feng Songjie did not answer this question directly. He continued smoking and looked out of the window at the dark night.

“Have you found the woman who stole my jade pendant and gun?”

Adjutant Yang immediately reported,

“I’ve already found the shopkeeper who sold that dress according to the clues you gave me. It’s the Nishang Western Clothing Store. The shopkeeper took out the maid uniform that the girl was wearing previously. It’s a very ordinary maid uniform.”

Feng Songjie lowered his head. His black eyes seemed to be able to devour everything. Adjutant Yang and Adjutant Li trembled. They knew very well what the Military Governor had always done.

Feng Songjie’s lips curled up slightly.

“So you haven’t found her?”

Their faces were as pale as paper, but they could only bite the bullet and say, “…Yes!”

Feng Songjie clenched his fists tightly as he thought of that woman. That audacious woman who dared to lay her hands on him! Daring to steal his gun and his ancestral jade pendant. She really didn’t want to live anymore.

It would be meaningless to find a woman who deserved a beating.

With this thought in mind, Feng Songjie let go of his fist and said evilly,

“It doesn’t matter.”

After a pause, he whispered three words,

“Take your time.”

—?

What?

The Military Governor wasn’t angry? He even wanted them to take their time to search. What kind of trick was this! He might as well beat them up and scold them to vent his anger. He used such a gentle tone to slowly search for them. It sent chills down their spines.

Feng Songjie thought for a moment and added with a cold expression, “Don’t use the soldiers from the Military Governor’s Office. It’s too obvious. Use the Eagle Eye of the Shadow Pavilion to investigate!”

Jiang City was the provincial capital of Jiangbei Province, and the Military Governor’s Office was the military government of Jiangbei Province. Feng Songjie was the military and political officer in charge of Jiangbei Province. On the surface, there were definitely some things that he could not do, so he established the Shadow Pavilion six years ago!

The Shadow Pavilion was the largest underground organization in Jiangbei Province. Feng Songjie was the Master of the Shadow Pavilion. In six years, he had long nurtured a large group of powerful Eagle Eyes to deal with matters that the Military Governor’s Office could not handle.

That night, Bai Weiyang, who did not know what was going on, was tempted to go to the Heavenly Music Club again after being tormented by Er Mo for the entire day. This time, she was wearing a manservant’s narrow-sleeved robe and a blue riding jacket.

Bai Weiyang, who was proficient in modern makeup and disguise techniques, made her face look plain and ordinary in two or three moves with charcoal!

After confirming that no one was prepared to “kill her for money”, she climbed over the wall eagerly.

In the middle of the night, wearing a Chinese skullcap, she hailed a rickshaw.

“Master! I’m going to the Heavenly Music Club!”

The rickshaw puller’s eyes lit up when he saw the silver yuan. He didn’t ask further.

Usually, a servant would pick up his young master in the middle of the night.

Bai Weiyang was still unaware of the impending danger.
