The one standing in front had a distinct hooked nose and a gloomy face like a ferocious mastiff.
The person standing behind her with his back to her was slightly shorter, wearing a dark grey dress, and had short, slightly curly grey-green hair.
It's Vesta.
And Clenamis.
Hitzfeld quickly recognized them from these features.
It’s really strange that these two people would quarrel?
Before she could start to wonder, the arguing suddenly stopped.
She heard deliberate footsteps, then the elevator door opening and the creaking sound of gears turning.
One of them just left.
This road is a dead end, if the other one doesn't plan to leave by elevator -
Realizing that her situation was not good, Hitzfeld immediately took off her shoes and ran quickly in the opposite direction of the road. She didn't put her shoes on until she reached the next corner. Then, when she stood up and took the first step, a shadow suddenly pressed down on her.
It was Clenamesis.
He was facing away from the light, so Hitzfeld couldn't see his expression. She could only feel that he was looking at her fiercely and almost squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Aisun...what are you doing here?"
"I don't think I need to report to you even when I go to the bathroom?"
Hitzfeld also narrowed his eyes and pretended to be calm as he ridiculed him.
"Hmph!" The gloomy man's face twisted, and then he raised the corner of his mouth in sneer.
"Are you looking up information on that case?"
"Nothing to do with you."
"You are someone I manage, how can you say it has nothing to do with me?"
He got closer and closer, forcing Hitzfeld to retreat continuously.
Until he forced her against the wall, he leaned his head further down and stared at her pretty face with narrowed eyes.
"Please respect yourself, Agent!"
Hitzfeld clenched his fists.
What on earth does this bastard want to do...
This is the headquarters of the Security Bureau...
Fortunately, it seemed that Kleinamis only wanted to scare her, and he quickly distanced himself and took a step back.
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
"for him?"
The gloomy man suddenly spoke.
"For Isendal, isn't it?"
Hitzfeld frowned slightly.
To be honest, she had no idea what it meant.
"You guys are always like this..."
Clenamis shook his head slowly.
"He looks easy to get along with, but in reality? He's arrogant... cold..."
"I don't believe that you are really doing this for his own good. That woman definitely just wants to catch him so that he won't take over the position of director that he had worked so hard to get..."
"It's all the same..."
"You are all the same..."
"Clenamethus!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from across the room.
Xia Yibing suddenly rushed out from the corner and blocked Hitzfeld behind her in one step.
"Stay away from her!"
"Don't make me beat you up!"
"Hey!"
Raising the corner of his lips, Clenamesis turned and left.
It wasn't until his back completely disappeared that Hitzfeld finally remembered to breathe.
This person just put too much pressure on her.
That's not the look a normal person should have.
Full of madness... disappointment...
Now she understood why Xia Yibing was always wary of Vesta's people.
Sure enough, Pippen was just a special case.
"Aisun?"
Seeing her opening her mouth to breathe, Xia Yibing bent down and supported her with concern.
"How did you... follow me?"
"I--"
Hitzfeld was suddenly stuck.
I worry about you.
But she was too embarrassed to say so, so she changed her words temporarily: "I see that you seem to care about Villefort very much..."
Then he tried to change the subject: "Um - I just saw Clenamesis and Vesta arguing. Could they be -"
"Will not."
Xia Yibing interrupted her.
"You think they'll fight among themselves?"
"will not."
"Because you may not know that Vesta once planned to raise him as a son."
"Huh?" The girl stared in surprise.
"So they do quarrel over random things occasionally, but they are not serious matters. Most of the time, it is just Kleinamis's unilateral willfulness."
"But I have no right to laugh at him."
Having said this, the woman looked at the wall next to her and pursed her lips.
"Villefort..."
"There was a time when I considered him a substitute for my father."

Chapter 96: Touching Things
Father's substitute?
Hitzfeld looked at the woman meaningfully, thinking that this was indeed the factor.
Her concern for Villefort went beyond the concern that an employee normally has for his boss, and Hitzfeld was prepared for this situation.
"This line of work is no different from other professions... As you can see, there are very few women in the bureau."
Xia Yibing first squatted down, and finally sat on the ground against the wall, and began to describe the past in detail to the girl.
"I am quite talented, but it was difficult at the beginning. It was Villefort who constantly supported me with his actions and words... I have always wanted to deny his position in my heart because I always felt that it was an offense to... my father, but what happened recently made me realize that it was not the case..."
"That's not the case, Aisuen." She turned her head and looked at the gray-haired girl who also sat down with her, tears flickering in her eyes. "Bati-Villefort should be my new relative. I can't accept... him falling into this situation."
"I understand." Hitzfeld said lightly.
This kind of feeling is essentially the same as her feelings for Mrs. Glee. Both of them were redeemed by someone at the lowest point in their lives and emotions after suffering a severe loss, and regarded that person as a lifeline.
The subtle influence cannot be ignored just by saying that you don't care.
"Do you think I'm too stupid..." The woman tilted her head and stared at her expression. "I've reached a new peak in my career because of this. They all said I was lucky and advised me to curry favor with the new director..."
Because Gunter Asfen Sara is a prince after all, he will not stay in the Security Bureau system for too long.
After the case of the Dead Woods is completely concluded, in half a year at least, or one or two years at most, he will definitely be transferred. By then, Villefort will not be able to be reinstated because of his serious mistakes, and when the bureau looks for a successor, Agent Xia Sha, who has experience as a deputy director, will have an advantage.
"I think this system was established to fight against evil." Hitzfeld blinked at her. "Some people obviously forgot what should be put first. They have long forgotten the original purpose of joining this system."
"Or maybe they all know the right choice, but that path is too hard, so they choose to give up."
See, that's why she went to all the trouble to follow him.
This woman was clearly under tremendous pressure, but she refused to tell anyone.
She is so proud.
After losing her entire family, she had gotten used to relying on herself to solve problems. It was unacceptable for her to show even the slightest bit of weakness like an ordinary woman—or even an ordinary human being.
So Hitzfeld could only try his best to comfort her in his own way and in a roundabout way.
Try not to hurt her proud heart.
Of course she wasn't blinking because she was trying to be sincere... she was blinking because she was very sleepy.
Yesterday was Friday, and she should have had a good sleep at night, but Guntra had asked her to go out on a mission, and her body was already very tired.
Fortunately, comfort is effective.
The two people stood up again, and the woman's expression had relaxed a lot.
"Can I have a hug, Esoon?"
Hitzfeld didn't hesitate and went straight over to hug her.
Xia Yibing gave her a tighter hug in return, almost making her feel like she was being strangled to death.
But it was short-lived, and she soon let go again.
"You are all saving me." The woman smiled at her sheepishly, "I didn't realize this until today."
"gone."
"I'll come down again when I have time."
Compared to when she left the Intelligence and Archives Department, the sadness that had been hanging over her brows had dissipated a lot, and she looked much more cheerful.
Hitzfeld looked at her back and opened his mouth. Suddenly he had an urge to call her and tell her, "I will always be by your side no matter what happens" and "You can consider me as your real family."
After all, they are barely in love.
It seems natural for lovers to say such things to each other.
But she was obviously a little slow... When she made up her mind and thought thoroughly about how to word it, the woman could no longer hear even the footsteps.
Then next time.
She pursed her lips and patted her hot face with her hands.
As long as we are all at the headquarters, it is easy to meet.
……
Time passed and another night came.
White Shadow Palace.
There are no magnificent palaces here, just ordinary stone walls painted white, with exquisite sculptures and sophisticated layout.
