Chapter 451 Hidden Secrets

Inside the Ten Kings Division, the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

Jackdaw and Snowcoat stood side by side, their postures slightly cramped.

In front of them, a tall and majestic figure was glaring at them. This person was none other than their boss.

"You said that Yanou's body disappeared?" The boss's thunderous roar echoed in the hall, as if to shake the walls. His face turned red with anger, the blue veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and his eyes were wide open.

Jackdaw and Snowcoat lowered their heads, their lips trembling slightly, as if they wanted to explain something, but in such a rage, they did not dare to speak easily.

Jackdaw's hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

She didn't dare to say too much because she was not easy to lie.

He didn't even tell his sister Xue Yi about that.

One can imagine how much Jackdaw trusts Lin Yu.

I hope Lin Yu can do what he promised and let his sister be "free" and no longer rely on Huan Yang to act.

But Jackdaw knew very well that doing so would be tantamount to betraying the Ten Kings Division.

Because Xue Yi's life was given by the Ten Kings.

This kindness was like a heavy yoke, causing her to struggle painfully between loyalty and family affection.

Every time she thought of this, her heart was filled with contradictions and helplessness, but for the sake of her sister's future, she still chose to conceal it and chose to believe Lin Yu.

At this moment, facing her boss's anger, her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, filled with anxiety.

But she still bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to show her emotions.

The boss's sharp eyes were fixed on Xue Yi, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger and deep doubt.

"Although there are many bodies of Yanou in the Manufacturing Department, but Judge Xueyi, your body was abandoned in the Youyu Prison and disappeared. What do you think this means?" His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xueyi's heart hard.

Xue Yi raised her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained some composure.

She opened her mouth and tried to explain, "My Lord, I don't know why this happened."

"Perhaps some criminals have set their sights on Yanou's body and want to use it to do something. Please give me some time. We will start with the prison guard records and the people who may have come into contact with the body and do our best to find clues."

Xue Yi said this, she knew very well that as a judge, she had an unshirkable responsibility to keep and maintain her body. Now that her body was gone, she could not escape the blame.

"As soon as possible? Do you know the seriousness of this matter? If we can't find the body in time, the consequences will be disastrous!" He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Sir, it was clearly Hu Lei who killed my sister...it's possible that those Buli people took the body away." Jackdaw explained, hoping that her boss would understand the dilemma she was facing at the time.

"Bu Liren?" The boss stopped, frowned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"There was more than one judge serving as Yanou at that time, right?" the boss continued to ask, his eyes flickering between Jackdaw and Xueyi.

"Why did only her body disappear?" The boss' voice rose a few degrees, and his questions were like sharp blades, pointing directly at Jackdaw and Snowy.

"And knowing that you are not strong enough, why do you want to provoke that evil creature?" the boss roared, his face full of anger.

He was very dissatisfied with Xue Yi's behavior and thought that as a judge, she should be more cautious and rational instead of taking risks blindly.

"My lord, according to the Law of the Ten Kings, the circumstances at the time did not allow me to retreat." Xue Yi explained firmly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She was fully aware that her actions might have consequences, but under the circumstances, she had no choice but to do as the law required.

She hopes her boss can understand her difficulties and take responsibility for her actions.

"And..." Xue Yi was suddenly interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Enough!" the boss shouted. There was no point in arguing any further. The most important thing now was to get the body back as soon as possible.

"I'll give you time to investigate, but if there is no result within the specified time, you can expect severe punishment!" After saying that, he turned and strode away, leaving Jackdaw and Snowcoat there, their hearts full of worry and uneasiness.

"Jackdaw, what do you think we should do now?" Xue Yi asked softly. She looked at Jackdaw, hoping to get some advice from her.

Jackdaw frowned and thought for a moment. "Let's start by checking inside the Prison to see if there are any abnormalities. Then we can investigate whether there are any suspicious people around recently."

Xue Yi nodded and said, "This is the only way. I hope we can find clues as soon as possible, otherwise..." She didn't say anything else, but Jackdaw understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, sister. We will definitely find the body." Jackdaw comforted her, gently holding Xue Yi's hand.

"Jackdaw, are you hiding something from me?" Xue Yi suddenly asked, her eyes fixed on Jackdaw's eyes. That look seemed to be able to penetrate all disguises and directly touch the depths of Jackdaw's heart.

Xue Yi's expression was serious. She had already noticed Jackdaw's abnormal behavior and now she urgently wanted to get a real answer from him.

Jackdaw was shocked. She never expected that Xue Yi would ask such a direct question at this time.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

"I...I didn't, sister, why are you asking?" Jackdaw tried to hide her panic, but her voice trembled slightly unconsciously, and this slight tremor betrayed her inner anxiety.

Her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to meet Xue Yi's gaze.

Xue Yi looked at Jackdaw's appearance, and her doubts deepened.

Every subtle expression and movement of Jackdaw escaped her eyes. She knew her sister too well.

"I feel like something is wrong with you. Is this matter related to you?" Xue Yi continued to ask. Her tone softened a little, but the concern and worry in it became more and more obvious.

She didn't want Jackdaw to hide anything from her, especially at this critical moment.

Jackdaw quickly shook his head, "Sister, it really... has nothing to do with me. I'm just thinking about how to find the body."

She didn't dare look directly into Xue Yi's eyes, fearing that the secret in her eyes would be seen through by Xue Yi. She unconsciously clenched her hands together, her palms were soaked with sweat, and she could feel her hands trembling slightly, so she quietly hid her hands behind her back, not wanting Xue Yi to notice her abnormality.
