I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 437 - 29: Exposed

Li Xin was also hesitant. Night Patrol doesn’t keep idle people; he never doubted Dragon Capital’s quality. And since Li Kuo had been troubled for so long, Night Patrol wouldn’t take it lightly. If there were no hidden issues, it was most likely a conflict between this father and daughter.

He wanted to let Li Jingyun go, but doing so would bring trouble to himself, so he shook his head, "If you need, I can try to help you communicate with your father. Really, anything can be talked about between a father and daughter; there’s no need to be so extreme."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyun stopped struggling, her face suddenly turned cold, "You’re all the same, using the pretense of my own good to bind me and enslave me. If you don’t help me, I’ll tell my father you harassed me. Think it over, the last Night Patrol agent who wasn’t tactful has already been fired and jailed!"

Li Xin furrowed his brows, looking at Li Jingyun silently, saying nothing.

From a victim’s point of view, Li Jingyun’s current situation was indeed astonishingly captivating, exerting a strong allure, yet her face portrayed increasing grievance. "I’ll count to five. If you don’t untie me, I’ll start shouting. One, two, three..."

Li Jingyun gritted her teeth, counting, "four, five..."

"Help, help..."

The Li Jingyun inside the room began to call out urgently, with hurried footsteps coming from downstairs. With a bang, the door was kicked open, and Viscount Li Kuo glared angrily at Li Xin, "Li Xin, are you seeking death?"

Li Xin looked at the glaring Viscount Li Kuo, then turned back to see Li Jingyun looking pitiful, tears glistening and gently rolling down her pale cheeks, truly evoking sympathy.

Li Xin spread his hands helplessly, bitterly smiling, "Captain Tang Chendan, is this considered my initiation test?"

Instantly, the room fell silent. Li Jingyun’s expression quickly shifted from a vulnerable girl to one of astonishment, her gaze at Li Xin sharp as a knife.

Bang, bang, bang...

The ropes on her body broke, and Li Jingyun sat up from the bed, adjusting her clothes so they seemed less revealing, her cold eyes fixed on Li Xin, seemingly still in disbelief.

"Did he see through it? Did something go wrong on your part?" Li Jingyun asked coldly, looking at Li Kuo.

"Li Kuo" shrugged innocently, "Why would I do such a thing?"

"Brother Jiang?" Li Xin tentatively asked.

Viscount Li Kuo burst into laughter, dropping the pretense, "Well done, brother. Quite a few have come and gone in Shadow Owl, but you’re the first to reach this point."

"Li Kuo" rubbed his face, the slim body transforming through a wave of spiritual ability into Jiang Wu’s tall and mighty form, "Congratulations, you’ve successfully passed Shadow Owl’s initiation test."

Li Xin couldn’t help but laugh and cry, so it was real; this almost capsized him.

"Where did it go wrong? How did you know it was me? Have you seen me before?" Tang Chendan looked at Li Xin, a bit hostile as she spoke. She found it hard to believe that a young man could stay calm and think clearly under such circumstances.

Li Xin shook his head, "Not really, your acting was good; I nearly believed it. It’s just during our conversation; you kept rubbing against me, creating a flirtatious atmosphere, which didn’t fit your character."

"Character?" Tang Chendan looked at Li Xin, perplexed.

"Yes, the character setting. A person willing to destroy herself to love a man and rebel against her father wouldn’t seduce a stranger like that."

"I was merely struggling, seeking survival in a desperate situation. Otherwise, it was a dead end!" A flicker of astonishment flashed in Tang Chendan’s eyes.

"The distress of being forced to seduce cannot be faked, compared to the allure of actively seducing someone. The eyes don’t lie; you know this better than I do. Actually, anyone staying calm could feel it. A woman deeply in love wouldn’t act so smoothly," Li Xin pointed to his head, "I think this was also part of the test."

Jiang Wu applauded, "Haha, well guessed, very precise deduction. The quality of Night Patrol is paramount; nearly no one can resist our Tang Yinxiao’s charm. Tang Yinxiao, no need to argue. Li Yinxiao is young but has gone through many major cases like you." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How did you know it was me?" Tang Chendan stubbornly wrinkled her delicate nose, visibly unwilling to accept.

"If it’s not a case, it’s a test. After all, it’s our Shadow Owl’s matter, and using outsiders might make us a laughing stock. For such a test, it’s better to use one of our own. In Shadow Owl, there’s a beautiful female Silver Owl about my age. I wasn’t sure, but it didn’t matter. It’s always good to guess boldly and verify cautiously." Li Xin explained.

"Oh, then how did you guess it was me?" Jiang Wu poured tea for the two and curiously asked.

"I just arrived at Shadow Owl, barely settled, and coincidentally there was a case. Given Shadow Owl’s situation, there didn’t seem to be any urgency. The timing of Viscount arriving was also too coincidental. I had barely grasped the situation when he arrived. At first, I didn’t think along these lines, but upon finding these inconsistencies and backtracking, it seemed coincidental. Also, Brother Jiang, although you did well, there wasn’t too much difference in your body types. When we spoke, I unintentionally felt a familiar vibe. For a stranger, especially encountering someone like Viscount Li Kuo, he should have looked at anyone with displeasure. The initial act was decent, but later his gaze became calm, the wariness suddenly vanished, and his behavior had traces of performance," Li Xin explained, "this was strongly at odds with Tang Yinxiao’s earlier accusations of being harassed by a Night Patrol agent."

Jiang Wu shook his head with a wry smile; Night Patrol’s disguise skills needed improvement, but it also showed that Li Xin wasn’t a conventional follower.

Tang Chendan stood up to stretch. Her wrists were still red and swollen, and her face truly pale, her injuries genuine.

"Brother, don’t mind. Everyone joining Shadow Owl must pass the test; there’s no problem with your strength. However, indulgences of wine, wealth, and color tested your judgment. Your judgment is top-notch, your drinking and wealth are not concerns, leaving the tests of color and temperament. In the carriage, faced with irate victims, you kept your composure well—the color test. Ahem, Tang Yinxiao, please evaluate."

"Hmph, not like a man." Tang Chendan coldly glanced at Li Xin, raised her head, and walked out barefoot.

Inside the room, the two men exchanged wry smiles, "Tang Yinxiao is just like this. Others are out on missions. I’ll introduce them to you one by one later."

"What if I had made any moves earlier?" Li Xin curiously asked.

"Tang Yinxiao’s special ability is poison. If the contact was normal, then okay. But if with ill intentions, it would depend on her mood. Of course, being our own, it wouldn’t generally be fatal," Jiang Wu replied with a laugh.

Li Xin was a bit speechless; was this something to be happy about?

"Shadow Owl’s situation is indeed not great. Previously Shadow Owl held too much power, and over the years it has been dismantled into what it is now. It was a necessity of sorts. Don’t mind it too much; just focus on our jobs. Viscount Li Kuo’s case is resolved, aligning with your initial guess. Li Jingyun had a boyfriend in the Canon Law School for a long time but didn’t dare let Viscount Li Kuo know. Faced with forced marriage, Li Jingyun chose fierce resistance, eventually meeting a tragic end, and Viscount Li Kuo fell seriously ill and soon passed away. However, our investigation shows that the man with Li Jingyun wasn’t a good person, focused on Li Jingyun’s family background while seeing several women at once. Viscount Li Kuo’s opposition wasn’t entirely due to his family background, also because he didn’t want his daughter deceived; though his expression of this was rather intense."

Communication between people is a difficult matter, especially under Li Jingyun’s preconceived notions.

"What about that scumbag?"

"Scumbag, how vivid," Jiang Wu said blandly, "While in bed with a woman, he was castrated by Tang Yinxiao."

Li Xin took a sharp breath, slightly exhilarated. Though he decided to keep at least a one-meter safe distance from Tang Yinxiao in the future.

"Alright, is there anything else you want to add?" Jiang Wu asked with a smile. He very much hoped Li Xin would pass smoothly, not only passing but with such good results, adding another capable member to his team.

"Shadow Owl doesn’t delay wages, right?"
