Chapter 1356: Chapter 868: Top Secret Letter_3
This distance is quite terrifying; it means he only needs to stand outside the Patrol Defense Office to eavesdrop on the movements of acquaintances inside.
Then Da Xiong egged on, urging Beibei to test whether this magic artifact’s abilities were as formidable as she claimed.
This kind of challenge works well on Beibei, so she immediately decides to find someone for an experiment.
At this moment, Yang Xiao suggested with a smile that she try eavesdropping on Director Nalan, asking if she dared.
"There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare." Beibei was eager to try, closing her eyes and picturing Nalan Shuo’s image in her mind.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao keenly sensed a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.
This fluctuation was very subtle, which was a good thing since it meant that using this magic artifact had minimal, almost negligible repercussions for Beibei.
About ten seconds later, a faint sound began to echo in the room, not very clear at first, but soon everyone present realized something was off.
Because it was a woman’s voice.
"Mmm~~"
"There... that’s not possible..."
"Ah~~"
"No~~"
"I told you to listen to Director Nalan. What kind of inappropriate station are you eavesdropping on?!" Yang Xiao was confused, finding Beibei’s Thousand-mile Eye very unreliable.
"I am listening to Director Nalan!" Beibei kept her eyes tightly closed, and it was clear she was more distressed than the three of them.
Suddenly, Yu Shu seemed to realize something, wrote in his notebook, and quickly held it up, showing two words: Ms. Wen.
Yang Xiao: "!!!"
Da Xiong: "!!!"
Xi Menxiu: "!!!"
Beibei... uh... she couldn’t see because her eyes were closed.
But soon, as the sound became clearer, everyone recognized it was Ms. Wen’s voice, and Ms. Wen was Director Nalan’s assistant.
"Whoa, office romance!" One side of Xi Menxiu’s nose bled, and he got excited, "This is too thrilling!!"
"No way, Director Nalan doesn’t seem like that kind of person." Only Yang Xiao still trusted Nalan Shuo.
"Why not? You might think the Director is very serious, but I tell you, the more serious someone seems on the surface, the more playful they are behind the scenes. Haven’t you heard of sexual repression? I feel like that’s the Director!" Xi Menxiu was always very engaged in such topics.
"I’ve always felt there was something between them, really, Ms. Wen’s way of looking at the Director was off, I never expected they’d been together for so long." Xi Menxiu paced back and forth in the office, excited.
At this moment, Beibei also stopped eavesdropping. The whole eavesdropping session lasted barely two minutes, and there wasn’t a single word from the Director the entire time, only Ms. Wen’s occasional moans, pleas, and rapid breathing.
"I’ll go check if the Director is in any danger." Yang Xiao knew this might be unethical, but his instincts told him something was off.
"Hey, Captain, don’t hog everything, take me with you!!"
Xi Menxiu didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity, knowing Yang Xiao had a magic artifact that could teleport, literally a peeping godsend.
But before Xi Menxiu could follow Yang Xiao’s steps, he was stopped by Beibei and Yu Shu. Beibei slapped Xi Menxiu on the back of his head, and Yu Shu also raised his notebook, tapping it on Xi Menxiu’s head twice.
"You stop me but not him?!" Xi Menxiu clutched his head, feeling wronged.
Swish, swish, swish—
Yu Shu wrote in his notebook, then quickly raised it, showing it earnestly to Xi Menxiu.
The notebook bore elegant handwriting: You’re different from the Captain, the Captain’s a gentleman!
"Huh, how can a gentleman have an illegitimate child and unclear relationships with several women?"
Xi Menxiu mumbled quietly, clearly unconvinced as he went to his seat.
In the Mirror World, Yang Xiao struggled internally for a while and eventually decided to take a look at the Director’s office.
If the Director is really in trouble, he’ll immediately intervene; if not, he won’t reveal himself or pry and will leave at once.
After returning, he’d cover for the Director and Ms. Wen in front of Beibei, Xi Menxiu, and the others, saying that Beibei’s magic artifact had malfunctioned.
Yang Xiao had no less than three ways to make Beibei’s magic artifact malfunction, so fooling his old colleagues would be a cinch.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiao focused his mind and immediately appeared in the corresponding Mirror World of the Director’s office, peering inside through a small mirror.
The next second, Yang Xiao slowly widened his eyes, seeing the office door was closed, Ms. Wen lying face down on the expensive leather sofa in the office, with Director Nalan partially leaning on her.
Giving her a massage.
Whenever Director Nalan used too much force or pressed on a sore spot, Ms. Wen responded accordingly, laughing to tears.
Yang Xiao: "... Director Nalan truly is a model for us, even during a massage, maintaining a serious expression. I must become a man like the Director!"
After making up his mind, Yang Xiao remembered the key point, since he was here, he took out the Human Bone Staff and quietly probed Director Nalan’s strength.
After probing, Yang Xiao was a bit confused; Nalan Shuo’s strength was roughly at the mid-Fierce Grade level, nowhere near the strength to contend with Marquis Zhengdong.
Marquis Zhengdong was the strongest among the Four Major Families of the original Xiang Ma Town, with strength above mid-Ghost Level. There was a significant gap between their powers, and even if Nalan Shuo had the Innate Nine Treasures, it wouldn’t help.
Yang Xiao first wondered if Nalan Shuo was hiding his real strength, having encountered similar situations before, as Sheng Yanlin had such abilities.
