Chương 705: Initiative

Chu Li sat in the main hall, listening to their report and then smiled. "This is good news. It's great that the Mei Yi Courtyard has snatched away this hot potato. Perhaps Centurion Chen is doing this with the best intentions." 

"Since when has Centurion Chen been so kind?" Qin Jin shook his head. "He embraces the spirit of the Celestial Wolf. (TN: In China, the Celestial Wolf is another name for the star "Sirius", which is possibly associated with the myth of the Heavenly Dog. According to the myth, it's a black dog that has been causing eclipses by trying to eat the sun and moon.) He's always trying to snatch everything away, and he'll never let go of any opportunity to claim the credit. He has been humiliated last time. This time, he must've snatched this case away, because he thinks he can make a bigger impact by investigating the Public House."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Is that so?"

Qin Jin and the others nodded.
