Beauty and the Bodyguard

“I only have an elder sister, no younger brother.” Zhao Feng’s face darkened.

“Then there’s no other way.” Lin Yi grinned.

Just as Lin Yi was about to give the order for Wei Zhesheng and the others to get serious, an extremely thick aura pressed down on them.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel suffocated.

A tall figure descended in the middle of the courtyard. He was dressed in a green royal robe and had a five-clawed golden dragon. He looked majestic and was filled with a murderous aura.

Lin Yi’s eyes twitched-it was Zhao Wang.

“Father!” Zhao Feng quickly went up to him.

” Father!” Zhao Jixiong was delighted.” Father, save me!”

He knew very well that only King Zhao himself could save him from Lin Yi. No one else had the qualifications and confidence to do so.

Wei Zhesheng and the others didn’t move at all as they looked at Lin Yi.

They were from the Safety Inspection Division and were only responsible for the emperor, the king of Qin, and the three dukes. Even the seven kings, who were the top dukes, were not enough to make them bow down.

“Greetings, King Zhao.” Lin Yi cupped his hands.

“No need to be so polite. It’s not the first time we’ve met.” King Zhao waved his hand.

They had met a few times in the imperial court before, but they had never had the chance to interact in private. At most, they had only exchanged glances.

Zhao Feng was about to say something when King Zhao clapped his hands and interrupted her.

“I’m thick-skinned enough to ask for a favor from you. Can we call it a day?”

“End here?”

Lin Yi was stunned.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought that King Zhao would take the initiative to mediate. This did not seem like the legendary King Zhao’s style.

According to the information he had received, this King Zhao was an extremely valiant killing god level character. When he ascended the throne back then, it was also a bloody storm that caused the entire inner court to turn pale.

Such a character should be labeled as decisive in killing.

Even if he became the King of Zhao and became mature and prudent, he wouldn’t be so wishy-washy, right?

“Father and the others…” Zhao Feng hurriedly said.

As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by King Zhao’s gaze.

Lin Yi looked at him and shook his head.” King Zhao, you might have misunderstood. This isn’t a private matter of your residence. I’m the head of the security inspection department. It’s my duty. Please forgive me.”

“Is there really no room for negotiation?” King Zhao’s eyes darkened.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

With the Security Review Division’s reputation, no one could stop them if they really wanted to do business.

However, this King Zhao was an exception.

With the size and strength of the Zhao Estate, if they chose to fight it head-on, the Security Inspection Division would not be able to do anything to them.

Of course, with King Qin’s Mansion and other hostile forces eyeing them covetously, if King Zhao’s Mansion really did this, it would be equivalent to taking the initiative to send evidence to their doorstep.

Once King Qin’s Mansion used the name of the Imperial Court to make a fuss, the pressure would pile up. It was hard to say if King Zhao’s Mansion could still withstand it.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, the King of Zhao would not take this step.

Zhao Feng hesitated.

She didn’t want to let Zhao Jixiong go, but she didn’t want Lin Yi to fall out with her father because of this.

Lin Yi gave her a comforting look before turning to King Zhao with a light sigh.

“What do you mean?” The King of Zhao was stunned.

“Bring me all the evidence we’ve found in the past few days.” Lin Yi snapped his fingers.

Wei Zhesheng immediately handed over a stack of account books.

Zhao Wang narrowed his eyes and didn’t continue asking questions. He immediately flipped open the account book and flipped through it.

Then, his expression became uglier and uglier.

The corruption cases of Zhao Jixiong, Zhao Sancai, and the others were clearly marked in the account book.

Other than the initial three million Fate, he had found several more holes. Together, he had a total of seven million Fate.

This was not all!

With such a bunch of greedy vermin in the family, no matter how greedy the Prince Zhao’s residence was, it would be emptied out sooner or later.

Zhao Wang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Jixiong, a violent urge to stab someone flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Jixiong immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly argued,” Father, you are wise. These are all deliberately framed by them. They are clearly trying to smear me, and then smear the entire Prince Zhao’s residence. They want us to have internal problems. Father, you must not be fooled by them!”

He knew very well that the only person who could protect him now was the King of Zhao.

Only if King Zhao insisted on protecting him would he have a chance of survival.

“Zhao Sancai confessed, you can confront him if you want.” Lin Yi said faintly.

Zhao Jixiong choked.

Lin Yi wasn’t exaggerating.

The fifty people under him were all elites and professionals in every aspect.

There was no lack of people who were proficient in checking accounts, and naturally, there was no lack of people who were proficient in extorting confessions.

The journey from First-grade Restaurant to Prince Zhao’s mansion took less than 15 minutes, and Zhao Sancai had already given him a clean account.

At the same time, the six powerhouses of the royal power did not have much will to resist. In order to make up for their mistakes, they all showed great cooperation.

Under the verification of the two, this confession was very convincing.

Zhao Wang’s face turned black. There was no need to ask anything else. Just by looking at Zhao Jixiong’s performance, he already knew the result.

Zhao Jixiong opened his mouth and wanted to quibble again.

Bang!

King Zhao punched him in the stomach without warning. Zhao Jixiong was sent flying and only managed to stop himself after crashing into three walls.

Everyone was silent.

Even Lin Yi’s eyes twitched.

Even with his observation skills, he did not notice how Zhao Wang had attacked. By the time he realized it, Zhao Jixiong had already flown out.

Lin Yi’s understanding of the inner court’s top powers became clearer.

Other things aside, unless his home ground was in the New World, he really had no chance of winning against a monster of this level outside.

“Leave him here. I’ll give you an explanation later,” King Zhao said in a deep voice.

Lin Yi was shocked.

If Zhao Jixiong was the other party’s biological son, he could still understand Zhao Wang’s behavior. After all, it was only natural for a son to eat his father. Whether it was corruption or not, it did not matter to others. Only the biological father could say it.

However, Zhao Jixiong was only a stepson!

According to the past reviews of the Prince Zhao’s residence, it did not seem like the Prince Zhao treated his stepson better than his own son.

All the signs showed that King Zhao’s true love was still for his biological daughter, Zhao Feng.
