271: What is Bingyan Law Firm's real business?

He hasn't eaten for several meals, nor has he had any water. As a martial artist, he can't use his primal energy and is locked in this dark, sunless dungeon with no one caring for him. It's normal for him to develop some psychological issues.

Wen Hui analyzed.

"You understand this too?" Xiong Mao asked in surprise.

"Just a little." Wen Hui nodded and said, "Come on, let's go see him."

Actually, if there had been guards in the dungeon watching Manager Ye, he wouldn't have ended up in this state. But the Axe Gang went to war yesterday, and everyone participated, including the dungeon guards.

And today, Wen Hui spent half the day tidying up, and the outside still wasn't settled, let alone the dungeon.

Thus, the lonely Manager Ye was quickly about to be driven insane by his own imagination.

"Creak—"

The sound of the dungeon door opening just now startled Manager Ye. He finally stopped muttering "Let me out" and quickly looked outside.

Finally, he saw living people!

"Are you here to bring me food?" Manager Ye's current hope wasn't to be released, but to eat.

His stomach was so hungry it had stopped growling.

"We're not..."

Just as Xiong Mao was about to deny it, Wen Hui took out a roasted chicken wrapped in oiled paper from her storage bag, along with a bottle of ordinary mineral water.

"Yes, hurry and eat. These are all for you," she said.

"All for me?" Manager Ye looked at Wen Hui in disbelief, then stared intently at the food in her hand.

"Yes." Wen Hui handed him the food.

Manager Ye's eyes immediately lit up, and he took it and started eating directly.

With his hands.

"When did you even prepare this?" Xiong Mao couldn't help but admire Wen Hui's meticulous mind. No wonder she, a woman, could organize the Hundred Flowers Valley.

"It's nothing," Wen Hui said indifferently.

What does a person who has spent a day and a night alone in a dungeon crave most right now?

It's food and water.

Besides that, it's human presence.

In the gloomy environment, he was all alone; he would probably go crazy before long.

But it's different if there are other people in the same space as him; at least there's someone to talk to.

"Do you know me?" Wen Hui walked closer to Manager Ye, with the bars separating them.

Manager Ye ate so fast he almost choked. He quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, then shook his head and said, "I don't know you. Who are you?"

Wen Hui understood. It seemed the Director of the Bingyan Office hadn't mentioned her.

It made sense. The Director of the Bingyan Office only knew that the person to deal with was Xiong Mao, and she was just a woman, so it was normal to overlook her.

To martial artists above level ten, her level six martial artist status was nothing.

She didn't even have the qualification to have her name remembered.

"You don't need to know who I am. I want to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll bring you another roasted chicken tonight." Wen Hui paused, then added, "Of course, you can have other things if you want."

"I want to eat fierce beast meat! Hmm... and two side dishes. It would be even better if there was a pot of wine." Manager Ye imagined these foods, and saliva uncontrollably flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, I promise to bring them all to you," Wen Hui said.

Xiong Mao stood by, guarding. If Manager Ye tried to harm Wen Hui, he wouldn't go easy on him.

He wasn't good at interrogations, so it was better to leave it to Wen Hui.

"Then, then ask away," Manager Ye said while eating.

Now, whoever gave him food was a good person!

Wen Hui nodded, and her first question was: "The Director of the Bingyan Office is dead. Do you know about this?"

Manager Ye: !!!

Manager Ye never expected Wen Hui's first question to be this. Hearing the news of the Director's death, he even forgot to chew the chicken in his mouth.

"Do you know?" Wen Hui continued to ask, not giving him time to react.

"I... I don't know..."

Manager Ye felt as if his sky had suddenly collapsed.

He was Manager Ye of the Bingyan Office, one of the Director's confidants!

But if the Bingyan Office no longer had a Director, would it still be the Bingyan Office?

Would he still be the Director's trusted general?

Could he still be a manager?

At the same time, he also understood why no one had come to the dungeon these past two days. It turned out it wasn't that the Director had forgotten him, but... the Director was dead!

The Director himself was dead, so how could he come to save him?

"The Bingyan Office is now just an empty shell. Its people have scattered and fled; no one knows where they went. Do you know?" Wen Hui continued to ask.

"I don't know..."

Manager Ye truly felt that the chicken in his mouth no longer tasted good.

"The Bingyan Office exists in name only. Can you tell me what the true business of this office actually is?"

"The true business... is... is..."

...Outside the 155 Fortress, the Guild.

"Wang Yi? Wang Yi, the personal disciple of the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau within the Wall? And Miss Gu Mingzhu, the beloved daughter of the City Lord? How did they get involved in this?"

The intelligence department brought back the results of their investigation, discovering that behind Xiong Mao, the current leader of the Axe Gang, there were actually Wang Yi and Gu Mingzhu helping!

The Guild Leader's brows were practically furrowed into a ' river' character.

From the intelligence gathered by the intelligence department, those involved from inside the Wall included Gu Mingzhu, Wang Yi, Feng Zhi, as well as Xiao Shen and Liu Ling'er. However, the latter two had already left the Wall, and their families had fallen.

The Guild Leader didn't value Xiao Shen and Liu Ling'er, but he couldn't disregard Gu Mingzhu and Wang Yi!

One was Miss Mingzhu of the City Lord's Estate, the head of the Three Great Powers within the Wall, and the other was the personal disciple of the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau, one of the Three Great Powers within the Wall.

He couldn't afford to offend either of them.

The thought of having taken money from the Director of the Bingyan Office without fully understanding the situation and then standing by idly when the Axe Gang went to war made him worry... worry that the City Lord's Estate and the Beast Taming Bureau would come to trouble him.

The City Lord was a genuine level twenty martial artist...

"Guild Leader, should we continue to investigate?" The head of the intelligence department had stopped investigating precisely because he had uncovered these details and came to ask for the Guild Leader's instructions.

"Nonsense, what more is there to investigate? Pretend you don't know, understand?"

"Understood, understood."

"Now get out!"

"Yes!"

The head of the intelligence department quickly left with the documents. In fact, he had also investigated Ximen Chuifeng and Zhuang Sanming from Outside the Bastion, among others, but the Guild Leader didn't even look at them.

However, they were indeed not important. In short, the Guild Leader had already given the order to pretend they didn't know, so they couldn't investigate further.

When they were investigating these people, they always felt that something wasn't quite right, because the identities and statuses of these people seemed mismatched. How did they all get together?

But when they tried to follow this lead further, they found nothing.

However, it made sense. Among these people was Ximen Chuifeng, who was skilled in counter-reconnaissance. He must have cut off the clues long ago.
