Chapter 2120: Speaking with Gu Jin in Person

Captain Luo heard this and immediately scolded, "Shut up."

After scolding his subordinate, Captain Luo looked at Gu Zhiqi, "My men are rude, please forgive us."

Gu Zhiqi casually waved it off, reached out, tapped twice on the Man in Black Robe, and then stood up with him.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi was about to leave, Captain Luo spoke, "Miss, please wait a minute."

Gu Zhiqi turned her eyes towards Captain Luo.

Captain Luo: "You took the person away; I can’t explain to my superior. Can we, perhaps, interrogate first?"

Gu Zhiqi: "Who is your superior?"

Captain Luo: "Gu Jin."

Gu Zhiqi responded, and right in front of Captain Luo, she took out her phone and sent a message, "I’ve already contacted him, so you don’t need to report to him, just tell him factually."

Upon hearing this, Captain Luo felt a bit wary of Gu Zhiqi’s identity.

The person next to Captain Luo, oblivious to the situation, sneered slightly at Gu Zhiqi’s words, "Just because you say you contacted him, we’re supposed to believe it? How do we know you’re not lying?"

"You say you know Manager Gu Jin, well, I could say I know the Pavilion Master."

Upon hearing these words, Captain Luo once again loudly scolded, "Shut up."

The subordinate reluctantly kept quiet after being scolded.

Gu Zhiqi glanced at him indifferently and then withdrew her gaze.

Looking at Gu Zhiqi, Captain Luo continued to ask, "According to procedures, I need to confirm your identity before handing the person over to you. Do you have any proof of identity?"

Gu Zhiqi searched through her space but indeed found no proof, "Would a verbal confirmation from the City Lord’s Mansion be acceptable?"

The young team member standing beside Captain Luo lightly curled his lips, muttering softly, "I bet you’re not from the City Lord’s Mansion at all, but planning to take the person to the City Lord for credit?"

There’s an order in Nine Stars City that anyone capturing an Angel and sending them to the City Lord’s Mansion would be rewarded.

Therefore, people from Nine Stars City, upon seeing an Angel, wouldn’t be scared but would instead find ways to capture and send them to the City Lord’s Mansion.

"I guess if we say a verbal confirmation isn’t possible, would you then give the person back to us while making excuses about not having any proof?"

"I’ve seen this drama too many times."

Hearing this, Captain Luo frowned almost imperceptibly but didn’t scold his team member again.

Because, indeed, the same thing had happened before.

The daughter of a prominent family once used a similar excuse as this girl to take away someone from Angel they had captured.

As fate would have it, the Angel’s person escaped midway.

Because he hadn’t confirmed that lady’s identity, Captain Luo had been punished with half a year of grueling training by the manager.

Gu Zhiqi, not too concerned by Captain Luo and his team’s distrust, thought it prudent to be cautious, "Well then, I’ll go with you to the Heavenly Domain Pavilion and speak with Gu Jin directly."

Hearing this, Captain Luo and others were taken aback for a moment, but finally, Captain Luo nodded at Gu Zhiqi, "This would be a trouble, thank you."

The young team member was unwilling about losing a person, though he kept silent.

After all, he wasn’t the one who captured the person; he just felt it was unfair to the captain.

Previously, the captain was about to be promoted, but then a lady from a prominent family caused trouble.

Logically, if they managed to capture a high-order Ancient Martial Artist this time, it would garner merit and might lead to a promotion, but unexpectedly, someone from the City Lord’s Mansion appeared again.

Unaware of the guards’ thoughts, a Man in Black Robe managing Xu Yuan arrived, "What about her? Should we escort her together?"
