Both of you are here to piss me off!
On the other side of the collapsed building, in a tall building.
"Adam Dexter Walker … That man's actions have always been unpredictable. This time, let me find out more about him." A man with a silver mask stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling glass, looking down at Adam who walked out of the tent as he muttered to himself.
One of his subordinates said, "Sir, Prince Ravel has already rushed to the hospital where Lacey is. It's not convenient for our people to make a move."
"Oh? Ravel went to see Lacey? I was wondering why he left in such a hurry. " The man lowered his eyes and laughed softly, "This is quite surprising. In Ravel's eyes, Lacey's position is not as simple as just an executive. Perhaps she has some value."
The person beside him agreed, "Indeed. When the building collapsed, Prince Ravel was always there. When he found out where Lacey was trapped, he immediately rushed to the frontline to rescue her. After that, he ignored the chaos at the scene and followed Lacey's ambulance. It can be seen that he really cares about Lacey."
"What an unexpected gain."
The man smiled, "I originally thought that this was just Ravel putting on a show. I didn't expect that he actually had feelings for her. This is very beneficial to us. If we want to control this man in the future, we have another bargaining chip."
As he said that, he ordered his subordinates, "Help me send a text message. Set Lacey's movements to an observation period. Without my orders, don't kill her. All the people who ambushed her in the hospital are to withdraw. Also, send a message to Lacey's terminal and ask her to cover her mouth tightly."
"Yes, sir."
At this moment, there was a series of knocks on the door.
"Come in."
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. If one were to observe politics frequently, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was an active high-ranking official in the political arena. However, when he came here, he respectfully bowed to the man with the silver mask and said, "Sir, everything is ready. The elders are waiting for you."
"That's fast." The man with the silver mask nodded. He took off his mask, revealing a face as pure as an angel's. He looked like a young man of 18 or 19 years old. He looked so harmless that people couldn't help but have a good impression of him. He smiled slightly, and his clear and bright voice was completely different from the gloomy tone just now. He said, "Then, get ready to go."
"Yes!"
Before he left, the man … No, it was more appropriate to call him a young man now. He seemed to think of something, and a coldness that was inconsistent with his angelic face. As he took out his sniper rifle, he muttered, "I almost forgot to give everyone a greeting gift.."
He loaded the gun.
As he said that, he quickly.....
....
Adam was currently giving commands at the scene, and Qiao Qiao was standing behind him. She was currently at a loss as to how to resolve this knot in her heart with Adam. Just as she was about to step forward and speak, Adam's entire body immediately felt danger approaching. He suddenly turned around and pushed her to the side.
...
... The bullet was shot into a stone on the side. With the hole as the center, fine cracks appeared around it.
Looking at this scene, the young man let out a hearty laugh. His eyes flashed with a fiery glow. "His reaction is indeed as fast as the rumors say. Adam Clancy Walker, I'm really looking forward to the days ahead."
He casually threw the gun to the side, making a "pa" sound. He put on his windbreaker, put on his sunglasses, and said to the subordinates behind him, "Let's go."
Under the tall building.
Adam looked sharply in a certain direction. His dark red eyes were murderous. He said to the subordinates beside him, "Immediately lock down that building and thoroughly investigate everyone inside!"
"Yes!"
Qiao Qiao stared blankly at the big stone that was shot. Her face was full of surprise. "Adam, what happened just now?"
Adam hugged Qiao Qiao tightly in his arms. He vigilantly checked the surroundings and said calmly, "There's a sniper. There are too many tall buildings in this place. It's easy for those people to hide. Lilith, you go back first. I'll deal with the aftermath here."
Qiao Qiao still had a lingering fear of what happened just now. The things that happened in the building began to reverberate in her mind. She shook her head and said, "Then aren't you in danger too?"
"What are you two doing?"
He Shaochen walked over and frowned at the two people who were hugging each other.
Although he let Adam beat him up just now, but that was because he felt guilty towards Qiao Qiao. He didn't say that this man could touch his woman without restraint!
He pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms and stared at Adam vigilantly.
Adam also looked at He Shaochen with sharp eyes.
Seeing that the argument was about to start again, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but have a headache. At this time, couldn't these two people put aside their prejudice against each other?
"Shaochen, there was a sniper just now!"
"Sniper?"
He Shaochen frowned.
He looked at the terrain here, protected Qiao Qiao in his arms, and said calmly, "The person who installed the bomb in the building is missing. The organizer of the auction also doesn't know where he went. This is probably a conspiracy. Not to mention who their purpose is, it's still very dangerous to stay here. Your performance at the scene just now was recorded by the media. It's enough for a face-saving event. Let's go back."
"But Adam …"
"Your Highness Lilith, I'm fine. If you stay here, I won't be able to move freely."
Adam said honestly.
Qiao Qiao also felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to stay. She sighed and said to Adam, "I was wrong about what happened just now. Please don't take it to heart."
Adam pulled his lips, and a complicated expression flashed through his dark red eyes. He said, "I was too impulsive just now. Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."
Although Adam said so, Qiao Qiao still felt that there was a thorn in his heart, and this thorn was also stuck in her heart. It was a little strange.
In the car.
He Shaochen saw that Qiao Qiao was absent-minded. His eyes darkened, and he stubbornly pressed her head into his arms and said domineeringly, "You're not allowed to think about other men when you're with me!"
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're not jealous because of this, are you?"
He Shaochen helped her up, pressed her shoulders, and seriously stared into her eyes. He said word by word, "Qiao Qiao, don't you think that you care too much about Adam? Even if you said harsh words to him, do you have to keep thinking about it? "
He knew that he shouldn't be jealous because of such a small matter.
But He Shaochen was unhappy. When they came out, it was because of Adam. Qiao Qiao was like this. Now that they were going back, it was because of Adam!
He wouldn't allow Qiao Qiao to have another man in her eyes!
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "Adam and I don't have that kind of relationship."
"Then what kind of relationship? Don't you think that when you're with him, it makes people's imaginations run wild? "He Shaochen asked jealously.
Qiao Qiao didn't know what to say.
She felt that there was nothing to doubt about her relationship with Adam. Because Adam was her confidant, wasn't it normal for her to confide in him? Why did it sound so strange in He Shaochen's words?
"I'm innocent. I don't have that messy relationship with Adam!"
Qiao Qiao's tone was very firm.
He Shaochen felt very hurt. The place where Adam hit him hurt, but his heart hurt even more. He said unhappily, "Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? You go in and out with Adam every day. It's normal for people to think otherwise. "
"He Shaochen, you have to understand that Adam is my executive officer! It's normal for him to go in and out with me. Can you not speculate about my relationship with him? "
"Then why are you angry now?"
He Shaochen narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiao Qiao.
Isn't it because you've been looking for trouble?
Qiao Qiao opened her mouth to refute, but when she saw He Shaochen's questioning eyes, she felt very uncomfortable. She felt that she couldn't explain it clearly. Her mind couldn't help but recall the corpse that had fallen to the ground. That bright red color stimulated her visual nerves and made her feel very irritated. She originally wanted to talk to He Shaochen about this matter, but now she wasn't in the mood.
It was better to wait for Adam to come back and talk about it later.
Qiao Qiao thought gloomily.
After sending Qiao Qiao back to the Imperial Palace, He Shaochen left.
The two parted on bad terms.
When she returned to the Imperial Palace, Qiao Qiao's lower abdomen suddenly felt a faint pain. She pressed her abdomen and thought gloomily, Your father is angry at me. Now, you little bastard, you're not even born yet and you're already angry with your father! You two are deliberately working together to mess with me, aren't you?
"Your Highness, should I call a doctor?" The attendant saw that Qiao Qiao's complexion didn't look too good and asked in a low voice. Then he said, "Your Highness should go change your clothes."
Qiao Qiao was stunned. Only then did she realize that her entire body was covered in dust and there were many abrasions on her body.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel angry. He Shaochen felt a wave of displeasure. She thought resentfully that his eldest young master didn't know how to bandage wounds at all. But considering his feelings, she resisted the urge to say it. He didn't apply medicine where it should be applied, and applied it where it shouldn't be applied. Did this person really think that he was doing a good job? Very considerate?
She was clearly taking care of his emotions, okay?
Thinking of how He Shaochen didn't even say goodbye to her before leaving, she felt depressed and angry.
He Shaochen was indeed a big bastard!

Lacey was still in the emergency treatment.
Ravel stood outside the emergency room. His expression was grave and stern as he ordered his subordinates beside him, "Go to the building again and see if you can get the surveillance footage."
"Your Highness, all the surveillance footage has been destroyed. I'm afraid it's impossible to investigate what happened just now."
The subordinate said in a low voice.
"Destroyed? Man-Made? "
"This is still under investigation. Because of the explosion, it's not easy to find out whether it was man-made destruction or other factors."
Ravel's face darkened. "Then investigate the people who attended this auction, including the organizer!"
"This …"
Lavel glanced sideways at his subordinate who seemed to be in a difficult position. He said coldly, "You're always making excuses. Do you not want to continue working?"
"No, I'll do it right away!"
At this time, the lights in the emergency room were turned off.
The doctor walked out and reported to Ravel, "Your Highness, Executive Lacey is out of danger and is now being transferred to the intensive care unit."
"Well, well done."
Ravel nodded.
He saw Lacey being wheeled out and was about to follow to check on her condition, but another subordinate stopped him and whispered, "Your Highness, there was an urgent message just now. The Elders' Zachesis stepped down and the new speaker is about to hold a press conference …"
Ravel's expression changed. "Zachesis stepped down?"
"Yes, the news came five minutes ago."
This time, even Ravel could no longer calm down. He looked deeply in Lacey's direction and struggled for a while before finally turning around. "Go to the Elders' Hall immediately to attend the inauguration ceremony."
"Yes!"
At this moment, in the Elders' Hall.
The youngest speaker in history, Phillips, overwhelmingly defeated Zachesis' faction with 67 valid votes and became the new speaker of the Elders' Hall.
At this moment, the young man's slightly immature face had a faint smile as he stood on the stage and made a declaration.
