The Secret of the Necklace
"Adam, you know quite a lot of things ~"
Although Phillips was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Adam's expression did not change. "It seems that I have guessed correctly. Currently, the J Organisation is divided into two factions. One faction supports Lilith as a puppet to control the J Country, while the other faction supports the establishment of a new King to control the J Country. I have spent so much effort on Lilith, so of course I will not sit back and watch others reap the fruits of my hard work. Furthermore, you have also placed quite a large bet on Lilith, so how can you watch as the fruits of your hard work are snatched away by others?"
"Oh, then what do you mean by saying so much?"
Adam looked at him seriously, his gaze filled with indescribable sincerity. "I know that you have enmity towards me, and I also do not have a good impression of you. However, didn't I say that there is always an eternal friendship? There are only eternal benefits. You have also said that this time our interests are aligned. Why don't we form an alliance and fight against this new power that has suddenly emerged? "
Phillips was moved. His other purpose in coming here was to form an alliance with Adam. However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he said solemnly, "Everyone is here to serve the J Organisation. How can there be a new power? Right now, there are only differences in opinion. What we need to do is to strengthen communication and reach an agreement. You are treating us as outsiders. "
Adam laughed inwardly at this person's hypocrisy. Who knew how anxious he was in his heart? Pretending to be serious in front of him was only because he did not want to reveal his trump card. He wanted to see how long he could endure.
"Take it that I have misspoken. Indeed, we need to strengthen communication. However, that would require you to be able to meet that Lord. Otherwise, everything would just be empty talk."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "That's all I wanted to say. If there is nothing else, I will return to Lilith's side."
Now that a new force had appeared, Adam was worried that Qiao Qiao would encounter another mishap.
Phillips, who was left behind, had a strange look in his eyes. He stood in place for a while, then a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he walked out.
When they returned to Qiao Qiao's ward, He Shaochen had already returned to Qiao Qiao's side. He was sitting at the head of the bed, looking down at her.
"Mr. He, long time no see!" Phillips smiled kindly at He Shaochen.
He Shaochen didn't have a good impression of Phillips because of what happened in the past. But now, he was just a person with "amnesia", so he only showed alienation to strangers. Adam also introduced him, and the two got to know each other again.
"When will the Queen wake up?" He Shaochen asked.
"I can't say for sure. It depends on the situation." Phillips walked forward and reached out to touch Qiao Qiao, but his hand stopped in mid-air. He Shaochen looked at him warily and asked, "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Phillips saw that he was on guard and chuckled. "Mr. He, you don't have to be so nervous. I just want to confirm if the Queen is still wearing the necklace."
"Necklace?"
He Shaochen's heart suddenly stopped beating for a second.
"An expensive necklace worth one billion. Its appearance is always accompanied by magical events, and the person who owns it always appears in all kinds of legends. Now, I want to confirm whether this red gem called the" Fairy's Tear "is still worn on Queen Lilith's neck."
"The necklace is related to the illness?" Adam looked fiercely at He Shaochen.
He knew that He Shaochen had spent a lot of money to buy this necklace. Now, Phillips deliberately said it at this juncture. Was he testing He Shaochen to see if he had recovered his memory?
Sure enough, Phillips's eyes were fixed on He Shaochen, observing his every move. He Shaochen was at a loss. He only asked, "This necklace is related to the Queen's illness?"
Phillips raised his eyebrows. "Yes."
He Shaochen's heart instantly fell to the bottom. He looked at Qiao Qiao, who was in a deep sleep, and his heart was beating fast.
Was it him who made Qiao Qiao like this? Was it all because of his self-righteousness that she was in a coma and had a strange bloodthirsty illness?
But now, he could do nothing but pretend to be at a loss. He looked at Phillips and asked, "If the necklace is removed, will the Queen's illness be cured without treatment?"
"Impossible, because the rays emitted by the gem have caused her to mutate. This phenomenon is irreversible. We can only guide and correct the direction of the mutation and let her return to normal." Phillips explained in detail.
"Guide? How can we guide her? "
"The injection just now is a drug to guide the mutation. After the injection, it will slowly start to correct the mutation. When Lilith wakes up, we'll see what happens."
"Your Excellency, can I ask you a question?" He Shaochen looked at him with a frown.
"Oh?"
"May I ask, why are you so familiar with the function of this necklace? And you even know how to use an injection to guide the mutation? Can I understand that as a subject, you want to murder Queen Lilith? "He Shaochen became more agitated.
Phillips raised his eyebrows. "Mr. He, I heard that you have lost your memory. Why are you so concerned about the Queen now? Have you recovered your memory?"
"Whether I recover my memory or not has nothing to do with you. It's just that after knowing that my wife may have been plotted against, I want to hold the person responsible. I think this should be human nature." He Shaochen's answer was watertight, making it impossible to guess whether he had really recovered his memory or not.
However, whether he had recovered his memory or not, or even if he knew that he was the culprit who caused his plane crash, Phillips was not afraid at all. This was because he had enough bargaining chips to make He Shaochen not dare to touch him. If he really did not recover his memory and continued to be docile and harmless, Phillips would be happy to see it happen.
Under He Shaochen's questioning gaze, he smiled easily and changed the topic. "Mr. He, is there any point in discussing this now? Shouldn't the most important thing now be to let the Queen recover? "
"Can we throw away the necklace after she recovers?"
He Shaochen now wished that time could go back. Then he would never bid for this necklace even if he died.
Phillips spread his hands. "This necklace is not my possession. You can do whatever you want with it."
However, he would not take any responsibility for what would happen after taking off the necklace.
He Shaochen had always been afraid of this young man. Although Phillips was young, he was sinister and cruel enough. If he was not careful, he would fall into this person's trap, and he would not even know how he died.
He said that they could do whatever they wanted with the necklace, but it was very likely that he only gave them one choice.
Whether the necklace could be thrown away or not, they still needed to be careful.
