Would Yu Miao think she’s a good person?

How should she face Yu Miao afterwards???

Oh god, oh god, oh god! Just thinking about it makes her feel ashamed!

Yi Jing felt on the verge of breaking down.

Twice on the verge of breaking down in just an hour, even Yi Jing, with her strong heart, felt like dying.

And these things weren’t even the biggest problems she had to face! The more serious predicament was clearly the Yi family, which seemed impossible to defeat.

She was appointed as a police officer, and anyone with eyes could see her youth. She had been dragged by her aunt through the banquet hall for a long time, and yet no one expressed shock at her being appointed as a police officer at such a young age and without any experience.

The only explanation for this reaction was that this kind of thing happened frequently…at least none of the guests present would be surprised.

Even a powerful position like a police officer could be arbitrarily arranged, showing the Yi family’s position in Jing’an City. Even a fool could guess how difficult it would be to snatch someone from such a family.

The banquet behind her was still lively, guests chatting and laughing, Yi Jing, feeling extremely tired, quietly hid in a corner of the banquet hall, staring at a vase, wanting to cry without tears: How many more shocking things will happen in this broken world??

This thought had just popped into her head when the clear sound of clinking glasses brought Yi Jing’s attention back.

Continuing the Yi family’s core style of being “big” from the inside out and top to bottom, the banquet hall was excessively spacious. The exquisite and luxurious decorations covered everything from top to bottom. This banquet hall alone occupied almost the entire floor of a building in the Yi family’s mansion complex—anyway, the Yi family didn’t lack grand buildings.

Yi Jing glanced at the guests toasting and chatting in the banquet hall, and found that many of them were wearing uniforms very similar to hers, and at a glance, she knew they were government officials.

Yi Jing felt even more headache.

There really were.

The fact that politicians, including herself, could attend wearing their uniforms was enough to show that this behavior was allowed, at least other bureaucrats in this world wouldn’t come out to sanction them…or weren’t able to sanction them.

Good, blatant collusion, raising the difficulty level again.

No wonder Yu Miao had such a hard time escaping the Yi family after entering it.  The Yi family was like the ultimate boss in a horror novel, impossible to defeat at a glance.

Oh, and they were.

To a certain extent, the Yi family was indeed the ultimate boss in the rapidly deteriorating horror novel of ‘Yu Miao’s Life’.

Yi Jing sighed softly, even more eager to find Yu Miao.

She didn’t know where she was…how she was doing…if everything hadn’t happened yet, could she prevent Yu Miao from getting into this mess?

Anyway, she was a member of the Yi family now, come on! Fight fire with fire!

Let’s see who’s more vicious, her or the Yi family!

Just as Yi Jing was thinking this, the quiet murmur of the guests behind her drifted into her ears.

The two ladies didn’t seem to have noticed Yi Jing’s presence, whispering about her: “Do you think the Yi family’s insistence on placing that child in the Supervisory Office before the election is for some ulterior motive?”

“What else could it mean? No matter how old she is, that child still bears the Yi surname, and the Jing’an City Judicial System is already the Yi family’s domain,” the other lady smiled, answering confidently, “Old Master Yi is doing this now, most likely to grasp the new trends of Jing’an City’s reforms in the next quarter.

The election is imminent, and no matter what actions the higher-ups want to take, they will have to wait until after the general election. District Thirteen is the core area of Jing’an City, and if there are favorable policies, they will certainly be implemented starting from District Thirteen. Old Master Yi has the best ears, and he certainly wouldn’t miss this crucial moment.”

Election? Supervisory Office? Reform?

Yi Jing keenly caught the keywords. Could the Yi family’s arrangement of her actually have ulterior motives…?

The woman who spoke first lowered her voice and asked again, “So, the Yi family is determined to get that position?”

Which *position*?

Yi Jing also pricked up her ears to listen, and heard the woman who had been answering give a cryptic warning: “Shut up, can you say this here? …Psst, Police Officer Yi?”

Ah, discovered.

Yi Jing, who had been intently eavesdropping, stiffened, silently cleared her throat, put on a calm expression, and looked back at the two women, nonchalantly nodding to them—as a greeting.

Yi Jing herself felt embarrassed, but luckily her face was intimidating enough. When she wasn’t speaking or smiling, she looked scheming and tough, strong and cold, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

The two ladies were already feeling guilty about secretly gossiping about others behind their backs. Seeing Yi Jing’s enigmatic expression, they couldn’t help but suspect that everything they said had been secretly noted by Yi Jing and would be reported to Old Master Yi, and they immediately panicked, making a few nervous excuses before finding an excuse to escape.

Yi Jing looked at their backs with some reluctance, thinking, why don’t you say a few more words?

Unfortunately, from the reaction of these two ladies, she also roughly guessed something—at least at this banquet, among these guests, no one would be willing to tell her the truth.

Those who knew the inside story would think she was a beneficiary, an unreachable member of the Yi family, with more resources than them, so they wouldn’t say much to her; those who didn’t know the inside story would only have envy and fear.

And the Yi family would think she was already one of them and couldn’t possibly not know anything.

She was caught in the middle, actually lacking even basic common sense.

…It’s really killing her…

Both sides thought there was no need to tell her much, what was she supposed to do?

Yi Jing felt very distressed, the target mission was of epic difficulty, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere in the middle.

Just as Yi Jing was in a daze, there was another commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, as if some high-ranking figure had arrived. The guests automatically gathered around, making a lot of noise, and those on the outside couldn’t see who it was at all.

Yi Jing was listless and lost interest after just one glance.

Oh, so annoying.

Anyway, there wouldn’t be any gains at this banquet, she might as well go for a walk.

Yi Jing was really not interested in anything at the banquet, put down her champagne glass and quietly slipped out of the banquet hall.

It has to be said that the Yi family’s mansion was indeed very large.

Yi Jing avoided the crowds and servants, quietly strolling towards a less crowded area.  The banquet was in progress, most of the Yi family’s servants were in the front hall, Yi Jing walked towards a secluded area, and after walking for a long time, she saw some old buildings with unique characteristics.

The style looked a bit like an imitation of an old church, but the color of the exterior walls had faded, looking grayish.

Logically, the Yi family shouldn’t have such dilapidated facilities, but this church somehow remained, looking abandoned, with no lights around, and the interior was rather dark.

It seems quite quiet…Yi Jing hesitated, glancing back at the corridor where servants occasionally passed by.

She had just passed through a connecting corridor from a brightly lit building to this building opposite the old church. Looking back at the noisy scene behind her, Yi Jing inexplicably wanted to go to the church to be quiet…

Said and done, Yi Jing didn’t bother with the locked door, and directly went in from another building with an open door next to the church.

The Yi family’s buildings seemed to be planned in blocks, and there were connecting corridors and passages between each group of buildings. Yi Jing didn’t have much trouble sneaking into the church.

There was indeed no one here, it was very quiet, even the wind became more noticeable.

It was dusk, the sun hadn’t completely set yet, and although the sunlight coming in from the window was a little dim, it was barely enough to see things.

Using the not-so-clear light, Yi Jing looked around the church.

It was very old, the building materials seemed to be deliberately imitating ancient styles, at least it looked similar to what Yi Jing saw when she traveled to other places before transmigrating. The stone bricks on the ground were also grayish…um, it seemed that a layer of dust had really settled…even the doors of the rooms were deliberately made of black wooden doors.

Yi Jing was a little curious, stepped forward, and tried to pull the iron ring on the door.

She couldn’t pull it, the door was locked.

The security of this church was sloppy, the main door was only symbolically locked, and it was easy to sneak in from other buildings. Would the rooms here be well-arranged?

Yi Jing didn’t believe it, quickly walked a few steps and pulled the next door.

The result was the same.

After wandering in the corridor for a long time and not being able to find a door that could be opened, Yi Jing finally admitted: This church was probably completely abandoned, there was nothing here.

But Yi Jing didn’t want to return to the banquet hall just like that, so she lingered in the church for a while longer.

Anyway, there was nothing to do when she went back…

Yi Jing wandered back and forth in the church, and suddenly found that this church seemed to have a hidden space design. She was in the core area, and there seemed to be other rooms in the outer layer.

Interesting…

Yi Jing strolled, idly intending to find a way to the outer layer and try to play.

The old church was large, and Yi Jing walked for a long time before passing a semi-open viewing platform…Yi Jing glanced casually and froze.

This platform was clearly one of the connections between the inner and outer layers. Here, Yi Jing could see the lower spaces of the outer layer, and through the open windows of the outer layer, she could see the scenery outside the church—

Yi Jing saw a person.

It was a slender woman, with long, grayish-blue curly hair scattered behind her, being blown by the breeze. Her back was beautiful, a simple soft white shirt and black A-line skirt easily outlined her slender figure, making people inexplicably itchy.
