Why do I Keep Transmigrating Into an Extra?!

3.10| The Timid Princess Xing Ruo

Hearing the roar of their master, a male servant hidden in the corner was pushed out by his colleagues into the spotlight. His trembling figure looked extremely pitiful under Fu Heng's scrutinization.

"Y-yes, right away. Uhm, d-do I need to call the physician to tend to the Madam?"

Yes, the woman who was abused by Fu Heng was in fact Fu Heng's wife of eight years. She had lived under his abuse for so long. She was caged and rarely appeared in public so anyone barely recognized her anymore. But who would have thought that the woman he abhorred would be pregnant with his child one day?

No matter, it was a dead baby now.

Fu Heng's indifference was clearly apparent on his face. He calmly pulled out a cigar from his pocket and inhaled the grey smoke before blowing it out.

"Do whatever you deem fit."

"U-understood."

Two servants came into the room and immediately dragged the unconscious woman out. From the beginning till the end, they never did once raise their heads, their gazes lowered the ground.

The male servant thought that his order was done, and was about to retreat when his master's voice rang out again.

"You."

"Y-yes!"

"Find out which bastard dare to fuck up my plans."

"Y-yes!"

"I'll give you a week to find out. If you can't do it, your family will be living six feet under the ground."

The male servant trembled under Fu Heng's cold gaze and barely stuttered out, "U-understood."

The news of Prime Minister Wei's death spread throughout the dynasty, and most certainly, Princess Xing Ruo who has one of the biggest information networks, heard about the news too.

In the study room, the young lady sat at the edge of the desk, her eyes coldly swept over the man that kneeled on the ground.

"You're saying that Prime Minister Wei's death was caused by Commander Fu Lin?"

"Yes, master." The man cladded in black cloak spoke up, "Yesterday afternoon, Commander Fu Lin entered the Happy and Merry Pub in the black market, which was in fact an illegal slave trading establishment disguised as a tavern. I investigated, and found out that the tavern was built by Prime Minister Wei 12 years ago. It has escaped the government's radar and suspicions because it was too hidden deeply inside the black market. They would always erase any trace of transactions they made, some was through bribing and others were through killing people."

"Hm... continue."

"Commander Fu Lin might've gone into the black market to investigate their empire's missing citizens and perhaps to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots (1). After all, how could he leave anyone with the blood of their own citizens to exist in this world?"

"Any investigation results as to why he came out injured? Or to be exact, who injured him?"

"That... We might require more time."

Displeasure appeared on her face, her thin lips pressed tightly. Xing Ruo had built her information network since she was young and first-handedly trained each and every one of her men. The fact that they couldn't even fulfill one of her requests was a disappointment and a proof that they needed harsher training.

The young princess was about to issue a punishment to her subordinate until someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.
