Chapter 091 I'm sorry, I'm sorry again~
The nobles only heard the voice but didn't see the person, but everyone's expression changed at the same time.
Ye Feng also looked in the direction where the voice came from with a serious expression.
The crowd automatically parted ways, and a pale, red-haired woman walked in. She was wearing a neat uniform, with her hands behind her back, and walked through the crowd with graceful steps, looking relaxed and contented, with a hint of undisguised contempt.
When she saw Su Ming, she smiled and raised her hand to signal, and finally turned her gaze to Qi Xiaoyang.
" Long time no see." Sylvie said with a smile.
Qi Xiaoyang opened his eyes wide and stared at Sylvie with an extremely shocked expression, with complex emotions entangled in the depths of his pupils.
"I seemed to hear you guys discussing an apology just now. Come to think of it... I do still owe you an apology."
Qi Xiaoyang pursed his lips tightly, and his masseter muscles trembled slightly.
Xi Wei passed by Qi Xiaoyang, reached out her hand, gently patted his shoulder, and smiled:
"I'm sorry for killing your master five years ago."
As Sylvie spoke, the air in the entire venue seemed to freeze.
Although there were many people watching, no one spoke. The air was so heavy that it was suffocating, and the weird atmosphere made people feel their skin slightly numb.
Qi Xiaoyang lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly. No one could see his expression.
Su Ming stood quietly by, thinking about the relationship between the two people.
Sylvie killed Qi Xiaoyang's master?
Qi Xiaoyang’s master should also be from the Investigation Bureau. Aren’t people from the Investigation Bureau not allowed to kill each other?
"And... my captain!" Qi Xiaoyang said in a hoarse voice.
These words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
He lowered his head, his shoulders drooped, and his back seemed to be bent by an invisible pressure, which made him look shorter than Sylvie.
Sylvie was still smiling. She took a step forward, approached the other person, and laughed contemptuously:
"I'm sorry, it's been so long that I can't remember clearly. Did I kill him too? Then...can you tell me his name? I'll apologize sincerely."
Qi Xiaoyang lowered his head and remained silent. He said nothing, his muscles tense and his body trembling violently with anger. Anyone could feel the intense anger in his heart.
After a long time, he calmed down, bent down silently, picked up Jin Yanchen, and left without looking back.
Ye Feng looked at Qi Xiaoyang's departing back, frowned his thick dark eyebrows, and looked at Sylvie.
This woman is really scary, Ye Feng thought .
Soon, Ye Feng adjusted his mood, put on a happy smile, and greeted him enthusiastically:
"I didn't expect that the Special Attack Division Chief of the Seventh Bureau would come to visit us. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!"
"I hope I didn't cause you any trouble by coming here uninvited. Your place is really spacious, much bigger than my office. I seem to smell the aroma of champagne and meat. Is it time to eat?"
Sylvie spoke nonchalantly, as if she was completely unaware of the unusual atmosphere around her.
Ye Feng's eyelids twitched. According to normal social etiquette, he should invite Sylvie to have dinner together later.
But to be honest, he would never want this woman to dine with the guests he invited.
If Sylvie were allowed to dine with them, it would not only ruin this carefully arranged banquet, but would also leave a bad impression of the Ye family in the minds of other nobles.
Fortunately, Xi Wei quickly relieved Ye Feng's concerns. She took out a folder from behind and handed it to Su Ming, saying:
"Xiao Ming, this is your first job. It shouldn't be difficult. Just complete it independently."
Su Ming frowned: "Minister, why don't you send it to my email directly?"
"This is a strange thing that appeared not long ago. It has not been uploaded and entered yet and has not been approved. I just happened to pass by here, so I brought it to you and saw if you can adapt to the life of the upper class."
Sylvie deliberately emphasized the tone of the second half of the sentence. She found a reason full of loopholes, making Su Ming feel that she did it on purpose.
"Also, I hope you can focus on your work. After Ye Xing left, I can't handle it all by myself. You have to grow up quickly. I am very optimistic about you."
Sylvie patted Su Ming's shoulder.
Su Ming sighed helplessly, took the folder from the other party, and handed it to Xia Xiaoyu beside him tacitly. Xia Xiaoyu put the folder into storage box No. 7.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Take your time and have fun. Make sure you get along well with the nobles." Sylvie looked at Su Ming meaningfully, then turned and left.
Sylvie came quickly and left quickly.
It was as if she had never been there, but she left an indelible mark on this banquet.
Su Ming felt that he had also been branded by the other party, and the way people around him looked at him was obviously different.
As soon as Sylvie left, the sticky air in the room suddenly became unobstructed, and the inexplicable feeling of oppression instantly disappeared. The nobles' discussions started again, and everyone looked at Su Ming with a hint of caution.
"Hahaha, it's almost time for dinner. Does anyone feel hungry? I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone!" Ye Feng clapped his hands.
Everyone began to move towards the restaurant in an orderly manner. On the way, Su Ming figured out why Sylvie appeared here. She wanted to weaken the Ye family's already limited trust in him.
Sylvie didn't want him to side with the old nobles, so she did this unexpectedly. Now everyone can see that the minister is giving him special care, so it will be even more difficult for him to gain the trust of the nobles.
"What are you thinking about so intently?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.
Su Ming: "My head hurts from thinking so much."
"Tell me what you have to say. Maybe I can give you some advice." Xia Xiaoyu wanted to help again.
“Now the old nobles want to win me over, but the minister doesn’t want me to be won over by them. But in fact, I just want to use the power of the Investigation Bureau to hunt monsters with low risks, and at the same time gain the power of the old nobles.
To be honest, a neutral state is best for me, but the Minister will definitely not let me be neutral... It's a headache."
Xia Xiaoyu was completely stunned. She wanted to offer some original insights into Su Ming's troubles and help him relieve his worries, but after listening, she realized that the problem Su Ming was thinking about was such a complicated one.
She was actually not good at political struggles because she had no practical experience and no need to learn.
“But at least it’s not a big problem now. Even though these nobles don’t trust me enough, I still have Flora.
I believe that as long as I have a fake marriage with Flora, it will be enough to dispel these people's concerns.
Oh, by the way...where's Flora? Where did Flora go? I haven't seen her since we separated."
Su Ming looked around, searching for the other person.
Xia Xiaoyu's face darkened and she glanced sideways at Su Ming , feeling extremely jealous.
Flora Flora, all I know is Flora! Are all men like this? No matter how fragrant the flowers are around them, they can't smell them. No matter how smelly the shit is in the distance, they still want to play with it.
"Forget it, let's eat first." Su Ming shook his head.
