The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 89

“What really happened? Why can Prince Yu's Residence burn?” Xie Hongyi asked hurriedly at the female servant who looked frantically at the fire.

The female servant did not reply, perhaps too shocked at what had happened. He just stood stupidly with a trembling body. Xie Hongyi wanted to repeat the question again, but not so because someone suddenly shouted.

“Quick extinguish the fire! Don't let the fire spread anywhere else!” It was Prince Yu's voice.

Someone frantically answered her words. “The water is not enough Sir! We have to take it again!”

Prince Yu shouted back. “Then take it again!”

The waiter replied in a voice that was still panicking.“But sir, if we take any more water, maybe this building is already burned.”

As Prince Yu spoke, Xie Hongyi saw the figure of Huang Long coming. He was about to say hello, Huang Long even stayed away. It seems like the man did not see her at all.

Huang Long suddenly stepped towards the building that was engulfed in flames. Seeing Huang Long's unusual actions, Xie Hongyi immediately walked over and pulled him over quickly. Then he said angrily. “What does His Majesty do? Didn't you see a big fire?”

Huang Long's eyes became dazed for a moment. The moment he saw Xie Hongyi, his consciousness returned. He did not say a single word. Huang Long simply held Xie Hongyi's hand tightly.

Xie Hongyi furrowed his brows. He felt astonished by Huang Long's strange behavior. He had not yet thought, there was a panicked cry from around him.

The fire quickly spread throughout the building. The situation went bad causing those people to panic.

Xie Hongyi frowned, then he shouted to the person who was frantically going there and there. “Snow gallery on the side of the building! Create a line to separate the burning buildings!”

Everyone's movements suddenly stopped as the loud screams sounded. They then turned their heads towards the source of the voice, and looked at the old Xie Hongyi.

Xie Hongyi's eyes glared at the response of everyone who became silent. “What are you waiting for? Quickly do!”

Prince Yu was also annoyed to see the actions of his dodgy servant momentarily in the situation that was getting worse. “Do what it says!”

Then, the servants dug the snow on the side of the building quite deeply. Their work seemed slow because they dug snow with makeshift tools. Then when the other waiter brought a tool to dig from the warehouse, the job was quickly completed.

Prince Yu looked at Xie Hongyi, waiting for what to do next. “Let the building burn. The fire will not spread. So do not panic and immediately find water to extinguish the rest of the fire.”

A moment later, everyone could sigh in relief.

The spread of fire was successfully prevented. The servants who worked hard to put out the fire sat on the snow while rubbing their foreheads. Their faces look very tired.

This incident did not happen because it was not intentional, but it was planned.

The perpetrators who caused the fire have been arrested. They're in lockups in the warehouse. Right now, Pengeran Yu's men had already obtained information from them.

Prince Yu sat on a wooden chair. He looked at the man kneeling before him, waiting for the man to speak.

“They said that they were sent by An Ziming.”

An Ziming was the man who served as the minister of war. Prince Yu recalled that he had been in conflict with her due to disagreements. Was it for that reason that An Ziming told people to burn down his residence?

Prince Yu hesitated for a moment. There was a lot of speculation in his mind. But one thing was certain, he should not be rash to say An Ziming was the perpetrator. Because all he knew, An Ziming was not the one to blatantly avenge his dislike. After all, her confidant with An Ziming happened a month ago. If he still had a grudge against Prince Yu, why would he do so now?

But tomorrow the news of this fire must be heard by the Emperor. Prince Yu had to tell him a statement. He also did not know who was behind this incident, hence he had to look for the scapegoat for a while.

“Then tell An's residence that the people are here. I want to see what he wants to do.’

“Good.”

Behind the outside window, Xie Hongyi listened to the conversation from start to finish. The system suddenly tells him to do a side mission that is to investigate the actual perpetrator of this fire incident.

Speaking of Huang Long, he upset Xie Hongyi half to death because after the fire was overcome, the man left without looking and said a word to him. Xie Hongyi's hella followed, but the system suddenly gave him a time-limited mission.

“System, why do I feel all this is a little weird?” After seeing the room empty, Xie Hongyi said quietly.

The system on his shoulders answered. “Why do you think like that?”

Xie Hongyi held his chin with his hand. He's thinking. “I was just wondering why an offender could reveal the truth so easily. Prince Yu must also be hesitant with what they say.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

Xie Hongyi stepped away soundlessly towards the warehouse where the perpetrators were being held.

Upon arrival at the place in question, Xie Hongyi opened the fragile wooden door of the warehouse at the termite meal. He wondered why the door was still so strong.

Inside the warehouse, Xie Hongyi saw three figures of men with battered faces tied up on a pole. Their heads that initially drooped then pitched when they heard the sound of footsteps. Their shapeless faces looked calm, as if they had already known that Xie Hongyi was coming.

Without further ado, Xie Hongyi raised a question directly. “Say, who told you? If you lie, I'll break a finger. And if you lie again, I'll cut off your hands.”

One of the people who was tied up said quickly. “I-it was An Ziming! He told us to burn the House of Prince Yu.”

Hearing the unsatisfactory answer, Xie Hongyi slowly approached the man while saying in a low tone. “I told you, if you lie I'll break your finger."

A second later, a scream of pain sounded. The two pairs of other people's eyes stared in horror at Xie Hongyi's hand that was bending the middle finger of their comrade upwards. In each other's minds, they wondered who this cruel woman was.

“One more time, who told you?”

They were still silent with absolutely no intention of answering Xie Hongyi's words. Inwardly, Xie Hongyi praised their cleverness. They choose to be quiet rather than lie.

Xie Hongyi still asked. “What did he promise you so you guys would obey him?”

The lips of the perpetrators were still tightly clenched. Xie Hongyi smiled looking at those stubborn ones. “Alright, if you don't want to answer, how about we play?”

A black colored object appeared in Xie Hongyi's hands. Wordlessly, he pulled the trigger and caused a bullet to be lodged in the knee of one of the arsonists.

The man shouted as he felt a stinging pain on his knee. What weapons did this woman use? Why does it feel more like a saki than an arrow?

Graciously, Xie Hongyi gave them an explanation. “Small objects issued by this object will make you directly meet the King of Hell. Now, there's only one little thing in it. I'll ask you guys. One question and one pull. You just need to answer yes or no.”

“Is An Ziming the one who told you?” After finishing his words, Xie Hongyi pointed the gun at the head of the perpetrator who was closest to him. The perpetrator was still silent with a pale face. When Xie Hongyi started pulling the trigger, the man suddenly experienced a fear that shook his mind greatly.

“Aih, I forgot one thing. In addition to answering yes or no, do not answer also I will pull it.” Xie Hongyi said innocently. Then his finger pressed the trigger.

No sound of anything was heard.

Xie Hongyi smiled at the man before him. He said with a sweet tone. “You're lucky.”

The invisible system, had its own thoughts when it saw Xie Hongyi's behavior. He could complain about the cruel Huang Long, while himself was not much different from the man! Both are the same, will use violence to achieve what they want.

Not knowing what was happening in the system's brain, Xie Hongyi continued his actions. He shifted his body to get closer to the second culprit. The woman pointed a revolver-type pistol at her sweaty temple. “Now it's your turn. Pray that the Buddha bless you now.”

Xie Hongyi repeated his question. “Did An Ziming tell you?"

The second man also experienced the same fear as the first man. But, his head was also hard like his partner. He simply pursed his lips tightly while turning his gaze the other way. Obviously the man was being frightened, he even held his breath.

Xie Hongyi's hand pressed the trigger. He then sighed. “You are also lucky.”

After Xie Hongyi shifted again, the man was finally able to breathe.

The next part, Xie Honyi took a break by playing around with the gun in her hand. “Can luck happen three times? Let's see if you're as lucky as they are.”

When Xie Hongyi took a pause, the third man whose leg was shot thought quickly. The man said if they were caught, he would help them escape. But the man didn't say anything if they were killed on the spot! Is his life worth the money? The woman was also right, the first and second man could be lucky not to be killed by the black object, but different from him who had felt the small object lodged in his body! So before Xie Hongyi repeated the question to the other time, the man hurriedly said.

“No! It wasn't him who told us.”

The man's statement was successfully rewarded with panicked gazes from the other two people.

One of them screamed in panic. "I told you that we were told by An Ziming! If you want revenge, then just kill him!"

The interrupted Xie Hongyi felt displeased, he then snapped out in a loud voice. "Shut up! I didn't ask you!"

Xie Hongyi still pointed the gun at the third man. He twirled the place of the gun bullets so that it made a sound of iron clashing. In the third man's mind, that voice seemed to be the voice of his death's introduction.

“Then, who is it?”
