'None of the five Beast Husbands would ever call her that.'
And yet, not long ago, he had heard Xie Youchen call Jiang Qingli that over the surveillance feed.
But...
Ye Linyuan raised an eyebrow, typed out a reply, and switched off his terminal.
The sound of dripping liquid came from behind him.
Besides Ye Linyuan, two other people were in the dimly lit room.
The sinister-looking young man glanced up. The man standing in the corner immediately reported with utmost respect, "City Lord, Ying Wang still refuses to talk..."
As the man spoke, he glanced at the collapsed form of Ying Wang at his feet.
Ying Wang had been around since the City Lord first came to power. Many had tried to kill the City Lord and usurp his position, but Ying Wang had always remained loyal, serving in a place as crucial as the Twelve Cities.
He hadn't even wavered when the old City Lord tried to poach him a few months ago.
