"The mastermind?" Anne and Bazeer were both shocked. "Who could it be?"
"Have you encountered many assassinations in the past?" Tang Zheng asked.
"A long time ago, but not in the past few years." Anne recalled.
"The enemy came prepared this time. It's definitely not simple. What's the benefit of killing you? You don't have any grudges against them. "
"Her Highness is a member of the royal family. If anything happened to her, it would be a huge blow to the royal family and the entire country." Bazeer said.
"Who would have such a motive?"
"This … I don't know."
Anne waved her hand and said, "Don't guess blindly. Since they're carrying out a conspiracy here, they'll find some clues."
Just as she finished speaking, Anne's phone rang. She picked it up and listened for a while. Her expression became strange.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zheng asked curiously when she hung up.
"There's news. We've captured another group of mercenaries. They were lying in ambush at several places we might pass by, waiting for an opportunity to strike. We only met one of them."
Tang Zheng felt a chill run down his spine. This assassination was really costly. There were actually so many people lying in ambush.
Thump.
"Is there any news of the mastermind behind this?"
"Someone confessed. He said it was Alex who ordered it." Anne said angrily. "It must be because he made a fool of himself last night and wanted to take revenge on us."
"Him?" Tang Zheng was shocked. "The person he wanted to take revenge on should be me. Why would he assassinate you?"
"This …" Anne hesitated and said, "It's very simple. He must also hate me because I was helping you last night."
Bazeer was furious. "This person is too sinister. He actually dared to do such a crazy thing to Her Highness."
Although Tang Zheng didn't know Alex, he felt that this matter was a bit strange. He shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. I don't think he would assassinate you."
"He treated you like that, but you still speak up for him. You're too kind." Anne said.
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned and forced a wry smile, "No one has ever said that I'm benevolent. I'm not being merciful. I just feel that something is amiss. "
There were too many people in the hospital and too many secrets were involved, so it was not appropriate to say too much. Since the country's machinery was in operation, the other party's assassination was basically a failure.
Not long after, the door of the operating room opened and the doctor walked out. His expression was a little strange and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Anne's heart was in her mouth again. She quickly asked, "Doctor, how is it?"
"Your Highness, the patient suffered a gunshot wound, not a penetrating one. But we didn't find a bullet in her body. This …"
The doctor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He felt uneasy. He couldn't even deal with such a small injury in front of the princess. He felt a lot of pressure.
He found it a few times, but he couldn't find the warhead, so he had no choice but to come out and ask for forgiveness.
This was too strange.
Anne immediately guessed what he was thinking and said, "Doctor, I'm sorry. We forgot to tell you that the warhead has been taken out."
"Ah, you took it out? How could this be? I didn't see any traces of it being taken out. " The doctor was shocked. The warhead seemed to have disappeared into thin air. There were no traces of surgery. He had never heard of or seen this kind of technology before.
"He was the one who took it out. The others also saw it. If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Anne didn't know why the doctor had such a big reaction.
The others nodded.
"Sir, was it you who took out the bullet? How did you do it? "The doctor looked at Tang Zheng and asked curiously.
Tang Zheng guessed the doctor's thoughts. This kind of thing couldn't be explained by science. He didn't want to say it, so he said, "Doctor, this is a small matter. The key is how is she?"
"Yes, how is she? Is she in danger?" Anne also asked.
"She's fine. We have already stitched up the wound. The next step is to recover. But she lost too much blood and is still unconscious."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Anne said, "You must use the best medicine to treat her. Do you understand?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. This is our duty."
Bazeer saw this and hurriedly said, "Princess, can we go back now?"
Since the wounded was fine, there was no point in staying. The most important thing was to find the mastermind and get justice.
Anne comforted the little girl for a while and promised to visit often before leaving the hospital.
"Go find Alex." Anne ordered domineeringly as soon as she got in the car.
"Princess, His Majesty ordered us to return to the palace." Bazeer said awkwardly.
Anne said without hesitation, "Go find Alex!"
Looking at her determined face, Bazeer couldn't do anything. If he disobeyed again, he was afraid that he would have to pack up and leave.
Although Tang Zheng suspected that this was not Alex's doing, there was no harm in confronting him. He could get more direct information and make a better judgment.
The motorcade stopped in front of an antique castle. The Rothschild family's headquarters was not in Sweden, but they had properties in various European countries.
This castle was one of them.
When Alex came to Sweden, he naturally stayed here. Usually, almost no one from the family lived here, but there were still housekeepers and servants to take care of the castle.
When they saw the royal motorcade, the automatic door slowly opened and the housekeeper came forward to welcome them.
Anne was familiar with the place and asked directly, "Where is Alex?"
"Your Highness, the young master is in the castle. This way please." The housekeeper led them into the castle and a majestic historical aura hit them in the face.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes. This ancient family's heritage was deep. It was not something that the nouveau riche of today could compare to.
Dong dong dong!
Alex walked down the stairs and saw Anne. His face lit up with joy, but when he saw Tang Zheng, he immediately frowned and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Anne walked in front of him and asked directly, "Alex, did you send someone to assassinate me and Tang Zheng?"
"What, assassinate?" Alex was shocked, "What assassinate?"
"You're still pretending. I'll see how long you can pretend. You're clearly resentful of what happened last night. You actually used such a despicable method. If you have any ability, then use it openly. If you use this kind of scheme, I will look down on you even more. "Anne reprimanded without any trace of politeness.
Alex's face darkened and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. If I want to deal with this brat, I can defeat him openly. Why would I send an assassin? What a joke! "
"Is that so? But someone has already confessed. You're the mastermind. "Princess Anne said unrelentingly.
"Someone confessed?"
"Now you don't have any excuses. Humph, I've seen through you."
"Since you insist that I'm the mastermind, then I'm the mastermind. I hate him." Alex's face turned from black to red. He did not argue and personally admitted it.
"You've finally admitted it." Anne was like a victorious general.
"I've already admitted it. What can you do to me?" Alex asked provocatively.
"Bazeer, capture him. I want to bring him back to face the law." Anne ordered.
Bazeer had been in the royal family for a long time and already knew of Alex's identity. He was shocked and hesitantly said, "Your highness, calm down. This matter needs to be considered at length."
Alex not only represented himself, but the family behind him was the most powerful. If they casually arrested someone like this, then the royal family would not be able to escape responsibility.
"You're not listening to my orders?" Anne raised her eyebrows and the aura of a princess suddenly erupted.
Bazeer trembled with fear and did not know what to do.
Tang Zheng did not speak the entire time. He quietly observed Alex's reaction. Although he had personally admitted to this matter, Tang Zheng gradually believed that his judgment was correct. He was afraid that he had been wronged in this matter.
Since Alex was not the culprit, and the other party had specifically confessed that he was the mastermind, then this matter was worth thinking about.
A net seemed to be growing larger and larger above their heads, wanting to pull them all in.
"Wait!" Tang Zheng called out. Bazeer let out a sigh of relief. Anne looked at him with a frown and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This matter is a bit strange." Tang Zheng said in a low voice.
Anne did not think much of it. "What's strange about it? He already admitted it himself. "
Tang Zheng shook his head and explained, "Alex's admission just now was more like words spoken in a moment of anger. It can't be taken seriously."
"Don't tell me you can't take his words seriously?" Anne asked in a huff.
She was too concerned this time. She was truly angered by today's matter, so it was difficult for her to calm down.
Alex looked at Tang Zheng with an odd expression. How did he know that I was speaking in a moment of anger?
At this time, shouldn't he be hitting me when I'm down?
But does he think that I'll appreciate his kindness just because he said that?
Don't even think about it!
Alex sneered and said, "What right do you have to say that I'm lying? What I said is absolutely true, but what can you do to me? You're just a nobody from Hua Xia. How can you fight with me? "
Tang Zheng shook his head inwardly. At this juncture, he was still so stubborn. He did not know if his brain was made of paste. There was a limit to jealousy.
Immediately, Tang Zheng became more and more certain of his thoughts. This matter definitely had nothing to do with him. It was just that someone was secretly using this point.
Perhaps he also knew about Alex's bad temper. He was being schemed against but did not know it. He still wanted to jump into the pit. If it wasn't for him, who would it be for?
"Shut up! You're still trying to be brave at this time. Are you an idiot? Don't you know that someone is scheming against you? "Tang Zheng scolded in annoyance.
Alex was stunned. He did not expect that Tang Zheng would dare to be so impudent in his own territory.
Twice in a row, he had suffered in front of Tang Zheng. Although there were no other spectators this time, it made him even angrier.
Before he could flip out, he was stunned to see that Tang Zheng was also lecturing Anne. "If you don't calm down when something happens, it will spoil things in the future. Do you understand? Your identity is too sensitive. People with ulterior motives will use it to make an issue out of it. As long as there's even the slightest mistake, it will be too late for you to regret it in the future. Do you understand? "
