Yuo noticed Zhou Yuan’s embarrassment and awkwardness, although he was puzzled, he considerately took him on a less crowded route, reducing Zhou Yuan’s discomfort from the social embarrassment.
After arriving at the lounge, Zhou Yuan expressed his gratitude and opened the paper bag, taking out a small bag of roasted beef cubes.
The bag of beef cubes was neatly wrapped in parchment paper, looking very appealing. At the same time, the aroma of the meat inside was enticing, and Yuo couldn’t help but glance at it several times on the way.
Politely, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “Thank you, Vice Captain Yuo. I didn’t have time to prepare a snack at lunch, so this is freshly made roasted beef cubes for your kind consideration of Asta.”
Yuo raised an eyebrow in surprise, but his reaction was too quick for Zhou Yuan to see. Then he said sincerely, “Thank you, Lord Dixia. It’s what I should do as Marshal’s aide.”
Yuo accepted the bag of beef cubes from Zhou Yuan and excused himself as he still had things to attend to.
After leaving the lounge, Yuo didn’t linger. With the neatly wrapped bag of beef cubes in hand, he knocked on Asta’s office door.

Yuo first made a serious salute and said, “Marshal, Lord Dixia has arrived.”
“Hmm,” Asta responded indifferently, continuing to review the documents in his hand.
After waiting for a while without hearing any footsteps leaving, Asta raised his head and looked at Yuo. “Is there anything else?”
Yuo cleared his throat pretending to be serious and raised the parchment paper bag in his hand.
Asta raised an eyebrow in confusion, but his reaction was too quick for Yuo to see. Then he explained earnestly, “This is something your lord specifically brought for you. As a bribe for me, he even prepared a bag for me too.”
Asta didn’t respond, just lowered his eyelids again, concealing his emotions, making it difficult for Yuo to guess what Asta was thinking at the moment.
After a while, Asta said lightly, “Has the information about Dixia for this month been collected? Send it to me.”
“It’s already been collected,” Yuo sent the information to Asta, and then he was politely ushered out of the office by Asta, so he had to return to his own office to handle documents.
After receiving the file, Asta didn’t attend to any official business anymore, but instead carefully examined Zhou Yuan, or rather, the situation of the original host for this month.
Dixia, born into the Wengel family, had no other branches in the family, only their own. His sire had one mistress and two concubines, and Dixia was born to the mistress, along with a half-brother, Ashur.
Dixia’s sire and mistress had a good relationship, doting on Dixia since childhood, keeping him by his sire’s side, while Yashu helped out around his sire from a young age, but wasn’t close to Dixia, or rather, Dixia didn’t want to be close to Yashu.
Six days ago, Dixia was still as Asta remembered, either gambling at the casino with male zergs he knew online, or inviting them to the villa for parties, getting drunk as mud.
Until six days ago, after waking up the day after a party, Dixia never contacted anyone again, but instead stayed holed up in the villa, flipping through the books in his study every day.
He slept until he woke naturally every day, then watered the flowers, read books, or went out for a walk.
This kind of change was very common for other male zergs, after all, male zergs had always been capricious and whimsical, wanting the moon one day and maybe the sun the next.
But Asta found it very suspicious. He sent a message to Yuo, asking him to investigate who attended Dixia’s last party and what they did specifically.
[Yuo: …]
[Yuo: Understood.]
