At the Ministry of Heaven, the main office.
It was clearly late at night, but a study room deep within the main office was brightly lit.
Gao Qunshu was diligently writing something at his desk, completely focused.
Suddenly, a voice called out from outside the study room.
"Gao Qunshu!"
Gao Qunshu paused, recognizing the voice immediately.
Before he could respond, the door to the study room was pushed open.
Seeing the serious expression on Lu Guangmu's face, Gao Qunshu had to set down his brush.
"Why has Lord Lu come?" Gao Qunshu inquired.
"I've come about my daughter-in-law's matter," Lu Guangmu replied.
Gao Qunshu was not surprised. He said, "His Majesty has personally ordered to cease the investigation. With the reopening of the Demon-Sealing Tower imminent, the Ministry of Heaven lacks manpower to pursue the mastermind behind this matter."
However, Lu Guangmu shook his head. "I've already arranged for people to investigate. The extreme Yin areas within a hundred miles have all been searched, except for one place."
