Chapter 199 Judgment Gauntlets
Si Qingwan's voice was soft and alluring, carrying a hint of warm breath as it brushed against Lin Qiye's ear, "However, I still have to remind you, the label of 'subverting school order' isn't so easy to put on you. If you can't produce solid evidence, you'll be the one who suffers the consequences."
Lin Qiye's expression remained unchanged as he calmly met her gaze, which seemed to see right through him, and slowly said, "I'm the kind of person who hates trouble. If there's any trouble, it's best to resolve it all at once."
Upon hearing this, Si Qingwan was first taken aback, then giggled. The curves of her body beneath her pink combat uniform were breathtakingly alluring.
The admiration in those peach blossom eyes deepened.
"Alright," Si Qingwan's smile gradually faded, replaced by an unquestionable authority and decisiveness befitting a supervising teacher, "Since you've made your decision, then don't regret it."
She turned around, returned to her desk, and used the terminal to receive the authorization letter signed by Han Yingwen.
Using his own privileges, he added the joint signature of the court society and upgraded it to a "Level 1 Supervised Case".
"Si Linguang, come in here for a moment."
The office door slid open, and Si Linguang appeared in the doorway.
"Teacher Si Qingwan."
Si Qingwan directly transferred the electronic file to Si Linguang's terminal and calmly instructed, "From now on, establish a Level One Special Task Force, with you personally serving as the team leader. The sole supervisor of the task force is Lin Qiye. The target of the investigation is Yi Jingai, the vice president of the Law School Club. The charge is suspected inciting student conflict with the intent to subvert school order. Issue a formal investigation order to the Law School Club now."
The moment Si Linguang saw the contents of the document, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in his deep, icy eyes.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Qiye standing next to Si Qingwan, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
He didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded calmly.
"Yes."
After saying that, he turned and left, swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Once again, only Lin Qiye and Si Qingwan remained in the office.
"Alright," Si Qingwan resumed her languid yet alluring demeanor. She placed her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lin Qiye with interest through her peach blossom eyes. "Now, it's up to you."
She paused, a captivating smile curving her red lips: "Remember, you are the supervisor of the special task force. You have the authority to access all investigation materials and oversee the entire investigation process. Si Lingguang will report the investigation progress to you periodically."
Lin Qiye nodded and said calmly, "Thank you, Teacher Si."
Si Qingwan glanced at Lin Qiye with a charming look, her peach blossom eyes seemingly overflowing with tears. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was both sweet and seductive: "Saying thank you is not enough. What I, your teacher, want is genuine affection."
Lin Qiye's eyes remained calm, but the fire in his heart, stirred by the pure yet alluring enchantress before him, was slowly building up.
Although he still couldn't figure out why Si Qingwan was so fond of him, as Lin Yuechan's best friend and the head teacher of the court club, he didn't sense any malice in this favor.
There was no way he could resist the allure of her beauty.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you have any instructions, Teacher, I will do my best."
"Giggle..." Si Qingwan let out a string of silvery laughter. She nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, teacher, I do have something I need your help with, but... not now."
She took a step forward, her breath sweet as orchids, and looked directly into his eyes with her smiling, almond-shaped eyes. Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness that left no room for refusal: "Then, when your teacher ever needs your help, you can't refuse, okay?"
"Qi Ye will do his best," Lin Qi Ye solemnly promised again.
"Good girl." Si Qingwan praised charmingly, then changed the subject, "By the way, the student council didn't give you any decent equipment, did they?"
Lin Qiye looked up in confusion: "What equipment?"
Si Qingwan's smile remained, but her words carried a hint of coldness: "As an investigator, during a case investigation, you're bound to encounter some unnecessary obstacles. Therefore, appropriate equipment is also very important..."
As she spoke, she opened the terminal, tapped the screen a few times with her slender fingers, and then said in a cold, commanding tone, "Xuanxuan, take out a set of top-of-the-line trial gauntlets from the equipment inventory, with the note that they are to be loaned to a Level 1 Special Case Supervisor."
Soon, the office door slid open, and a tall, aloof girl walked in.
The girl glanced at Lin Qiye curiously, then gently placed a box of equipment bearing the emblem of the Court of Judgments on the table, and bowed and left without a word.
Si Qingwan smiled and asked, "Do you know who she is?"
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"She is Chen Xuanyi's older sister, Chen Xuanxuan."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow slightly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
Chen Xuanyi's older sister?
She beat her brother, and now she has an older sister?
What kind of approach is this?
Seeing his wary and puzzled look, Si Qingwan chuckled and scolded, "What are you thinking? She wants to get to know you; it's probably the Chen Group's idea. But she's not very good at making friends. She knows I know you, so she asked me to make the connection beforehand."
Lin Qiye looked bewildered and stared at Si Qingwan strangely: "Was she trying to get to know me just now?"
That aloof gaze, that unapproachable aura—why do girls always seem to be so cold and aloof?
"Sigh," Si Qingwan shook her head helplessly, but a playful smile appeared on her face. "Her mind is entirely focused on cultivation, so she doesn't really understand these things. She was probably a little nervous when she saw you just now. How about I treat you to a meal, and you two can chat?"
Lin Qiye shook his head without even thinking.
"Teacher Qingwan," he looked at Si Qingwan, his tone earnest and sincere, "I don't have time to waste on these things. I don't even have enough time for cultivation right now. If you need anything, just call me, and I'll do my best. If you invite me to dinner, I'll be there anytime! I know she asked you to tell me. But as for her wanting to have dinner or chat, I really don't have time."
"Tsk tsk, so clueless about romance." Although Si Qingwan said this, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "Alright, alright, I understand. Let's get back to business."
"Open it and take a look."
She then gestured for Lin Qiye to open the equipment box.
The box was opened, and inside lay a pair of dark gold boxing gloves, their surface engraved with intricate and powerful patterns.
"Weapons are not allowed in the school," Si Qingwan explained calmly.
"However, these trial gloves, as 'trial tools' used by our court society in enforcing discipline, are legal to use."
"As the supervisor of the special task force, it's not against the rules to temporarily borrow you for this case investigation."
She paused, a captivating smile curving her red lips, and added meaningfully, "Of course, if you want to use it long-term, it's more convenient to join our Tribunal Society."
