"How about this? I don't want to make things difficult for you but you must take our feelings into consideration too. These private areas include my room and Sister Tang's room. It's not suitable for a bunch of men to enter our rooms," Li Yinfei continued.

"Of course. That is why we brought a few female investigators. We won't dare to offend you." The leader heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and he hurriedly explained their arrangement.

"I don't like people entering my room. I'm sure Sister Tang feels the same way too. However, if I don't let you in, you won't feel at ease too." Li Yinfei smiled at the leader. The leader felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. The pressure when meeting his goddess was greater than meeting his superiors.

"I have a suggestion. I'll allow you to send one female investigator into our rooms. She will take a look at the room and leave quickly. If you can't fulfill this wish, I'm afraid that I can't let you search the starship." Li Yinfei sounded firm. There was no room for more discussion.

The leader quickly discussed with his assistant. In the end, they agreed to Li Yinfei's request.

Li Yinfei shifted her body to allow the people from Mai'er Fa to enter the starship. The maids and workers under Tang Yingying were unhappy that she was acting as the owner of the ship. But, since their young miss didn't say anything, they kept quiet too. They just glared at the people from Mai'er Fa.

After the people from Mai'er Fa entered the starship, Li Yinfei asked Tang Yingying to follow them along with her. Tang Yingying walked behind Li Yinfei. She used hand gestures to ask Tang He to remain on his guard. If he noticed anything amiss, they would lock the starship down. She was ready to protect her brother cousin all the way to the end.

Soon, the people from Mai'er Fa searched through most of the starship. The only locations left were Tang Yingying and Li Yinfei's room.

"I'm sorry. These places are safe. However, there are two places we haven't searched yet." The people from Mai'er Fa wouldn't give up halfway. Hence, they reminded the people from Beitang when they noticed that they didn't plan to bring them to those two places.

Tang Yingying's expression turned dark. She wanted to say something but Li Yinfei shot a glance at her. She was unable to speak.

Tang Yingying was shocked. She wondered if Li Yinfei knew what she did so she planned to give her cousin brother to Mai'er Fa to please them. She started to get agitated and helpless. She was just a young lady slightly above 20 years old. She never experienced such situations before so it wasn't easy for her to remain calm until now.

As Tang Yingying was getting agitated, Li Yinfei opened her mouth. "If you keep your promise, I'll bring you to our rooms."

Li Yinfei scanned the crowd as she said this. Everyone thought that she was looking at them. They started to lose focus so no one noticed that Little Yang had left.

"Of course. Don't worry." The leader of the search team made his promise. They sent a handsome-looking female inspector. If she didn't have the curves of a female, most might have mistaken her for a man. She was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. It was an outstanding achievement for a lady.

Li Yinfei nodded. She asked everyone to remain on the spot and took the female investigator into her room.

The female investigator scanned the room before walking in. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What is that?"

Li Yinfei followed behind her calmly. She said nonchalantly, "What are you pointing at?"

The female investigator pointed to a hidden corner. "I saw a figure there."

Li Yinfei smiled at the female investigator. The female investigator tensed up. Li Yinfei said, "Since you said that you saw a figure there, go and take a look carefully."

Before the female inspector could reply, Li Yinfei walked over beside a shelf and started playing with a precious artifact. She pretended to mutter to herself, "She's still young but why is her eyesight so bad? She can't even see properly."

The female investigator felt awkward. However, she still walked to the hidden corner and inspected it carefully. Then, she turned and said awkwardly, "I must have seen wrong."

Li Yinfei didn't turn around. She just continued playing with the artifact in her hand. "Look carefully next time. Don't miss anything. However, don't accuse randomly."

The female investigator hurriedly replied, "I won't. I won't do it again." She walked passed Li Yinfei and went to the other side of the room. She heaved a sigh of relief when she did so, as the pressure on her shoulders lessened.

Soon, Li Yinfei walked back with the female investigator. The female investigator shook her head.

Li Yinfei walked beside Tang Yingying and said in a low voice, "Sister, she is just a lady. It's okay to let her see your room. She doesn't have the ability to do anything to you. They'll feel at ease after looking around. Hmph, don't forget what I did for you." Li Yinfei glared at the people from Mai'er Fa when she said the last sentence. The people from Mai'er Fa wiped their cold sweat. Their actions still angered their goddess in the end.

Tang Yingying calmed down after hearing what Li Yinfei said. She looked at the lady who didn't have a strong force of presence. She remembered the abilities of her cousin brother and his comrade. She decided to take the risk.

As the young miss of the elite Beitang family, Tang Yingying was decisive when she should. She nodded and said, "You're right. If I don't let them look around my room, they might think that I have some hidden secrets." She walked up to the female investigator voluntarily and said, "Follow me. However, I have to remind you that everything in my room is precious. You can't touch them. If you break anything, I won't let you off."

The female investigator frowned when she detected the threatening tone. However, she knew that her mission was more important. She controlled her anger and replied, "Don't worry, Miss Tang. I won't touch anything in your room."

"That's good." Tang Yingying raised her head arrogantly. She portrayed the image of an arrogant young miss from an elite family to prove that the dignity of the elite family was not something people could easily step on.
