After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

In the following days, I kept looking for opportunities to get close.

Unexpectedly, this time, she had some unexpected gains.

Just a while ago, I deliberately chose the time when I was escorted back to prison to come and look for him.

Sure enough, a car came straight in from the gate with a person lying on it, but the person was covered with a cloth and it was difficult to see who it was.

In a blink of an eye, he had a few stones in his hand, hid them behind his back, and threw them towards the target.

The person on the front right was not paying attention and was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground. A corner of the white cloth on the stretcher was lifted, revealing half of a weathered face.

I was excited, and because I was relatively close to them, I stepped forward to help those people when they fell. When I left, I slipped the note I had prepared into my hand.

In a daze, he felt something extra in his hand. He wanted to open his eyes to see who it was, but he didn't have the strength and just held it tightly out of instinct.

I felt mixed emotions as I watched him being carried back to the prison.

She wrote down everything that needed to be said on the note.

She will not participate in the operation here. Whether the people can be rescued depends entirely on the cooperation of the three parties.

After being carried into the prison, he was given a separate room to recuperate.

When the person who was watching him relaxed, he unfolded the note in his hand, glanced at it quickly, then put it in his mouth, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.

He felt the sunlight coming in through the window and smiled calmly.

In fact, from the moment he was captured, he never thought about getting out alive.

If this was true, he would not want his old friend to make such a big sacrifice for him.

If it is false, that would be even better. I could take this opportunity to seek death to prevent myself from being unable to bear it and speaking out.

After betraying my own beliefs, how can I have the face to meet my old friends in the underworld?

In his hand he held the poison packet he had just taken from the note, just in case.

If the rescue fails, this will be his last resort.

Staring blankly at the tiny grain, his originally distracted and weak eyes gradually became firm.

Just like at the beginning, he always has the faith and oath engraved in his heart.

On the day of the action, it was already evening, and they were ready at their respective locations, heading to attend an auction held by an upper-class person as agreed.

The person she was working with this time was someone she had done business with a few years ago.

I hope you are well.

Hearing the voice, he turned around, temporarily put aside all social engagements, and walked quickly towards him.

I think it’s been three or four years since our last collaboration.

Not really.

There was a young woman not far away. She was not as pretty as the others at the time, but she looked a bit more immature and green than the other girls around her.

As soon as she saw her, the woman trotted over, took her arm and shouted crisply.

I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, looking at the girl in front of me with a smile.

I have lost a lot of weight. It seems that the food abroad is not nutritious.

He just stuck out his tongue quietly without refutation, and then patted her arm rhythmically three times.

This is the sign that everything is in place.

The partner is not so much

As the host of this auction, someone who is familiar with the venue and responsible for overall arrangements is indispensable.

I didn't want to let you participate in this operation this time.

First, she was too young and inexperienced; second, she was not even sure of the extent of the danger this time, so she didn't want to involve this little girl.

If the operation fails, they will basically be killed.

But if you insist on participating, you can only follow their instructions.

I took her upstairs to see the rest room prepared for her. It was on the third floor, and three rooms to the left from downstairs was where they were going this time.

After becoming familiar with the entire route of action, he went downstairs alone to continue, while I stayed in the compartment on the second floor with those people and waited for the opportunity.

Following the gatekeeper's loud shout, everyone's eyes were focused on the gate.

The key person has appeared, and he is the opportunity they have been waiting for today.

Speaking of this person, he started doing business in his early years and now he is considered a top figure.

Especially in recent years, it has firmly controlled the economic lifeline.

However, I heard that in recent times, the company suffered a series of attacks from a person from China and lost a lot of business.

Even if only some superficial touches are made, it is enough to make people secretly feel happy.

He is arrogant and willful, ruthless, and has offended many people by relying on his father's influence.

After greeting everyone, she saw the man who was drinking alone nearby. He walked towards her with his daughter, smiling and bowed.

How are you doing lately?

No matter how famous she was, as long as this last name was added before her name, he had to be respectful to her.

To be precise, it's not her who wants to curry favor with him, but the forces behind her.

Everything is fine, thank you for your concern.

Come to think of it, my brother mentioned this to me a few days ago.

really?

After getting the answer he wanted, his expression became noticeably more excited.

I'm just an outsider, what's there to be proud of? You never know when I might be discarded like garbage.

The woman behind him snorted quietly, and her gaze was not as respectful as her father's.

The smile on his face quickly disappeared, but there was no sign of anger. He just glanced at her calmly.

You are right, thank you for your reminder.

After saying that, he looked at the time, returned the gift, put down his glass and left.

He had been waiting at the stairs. When he saw her coming, he leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Then the two of them sneaked upstairs together.

About an hour later, a large number of troops suddenly arrived outside the hall and surrounded the entire meeting hall tightly.

Everyone looked at the intruders in panic, and without saying a word, those people searched the rooms upstairs.

There was still a long time before the auction started, and most people were getting impatient and went back to the rooms prepared for them to rest early.

Some guests who were already in the room were taken to the lobby on the first floor for custody.

Even though he had just returned to his room, he walked out with a depressed look on his face.

When we searched the third floor, the few people who had just finished their search had just come out of the secret passage.

Hearing the noise outside, he turned around and told those people to hide back in the secret passage, while he went out to deal with the situation.

As soon as she opened the door, a man suddenly jumped in, pulled her back into the room and pushed her against the wall.

Now that she thought about it, he had claimed that when they were in the room just now, but she was so focused on what was happening outside the room that she didn't notice.

She looked slightly embarrassed. The other person didn't take her threat seriously at all, but she still pointed a gun at him.

But why do I feel like I have encountered this feeling somewhere before?

At this time, the lobby on the first floor was already full of people, and they didn't go too far. They just asked people to come down and restricted their movements.

He lifted the ban, walked up to them, and invited the father and daughter into the car.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't stay here any longer.

I quietly moved up to say goodbye and followed.

The mission here is considered completed, and next she has to go back and check the situation over there.

Before the car drove into the gate, we met a man who was about to go out with a tired look on his face.

My heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but have a bad feeling, but I ignored the strange feeling and parked the car on the side of the road.

Where are you going? Let me take you there. I don’t have anything else to do.

Hearing the voice, he quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes and returned to his usual calm self.

Thank you for your hard work. I will go and have already rushed there first.

Even though I wanted to know the truth, I didn't ask along the way.

The two arrived and turned the corner to see someone standing against the wall.

At this moment, he looked nothing like his former flamboyant self, and looked several times more decadent than when he had just been seen at the door.

She walked over quickly and patted his arm with concern.

What happened? I just went out, how did it turn out like this?

He looked up at her dully, without saying anything.

Seeing that he didn't want to speak, she turned her gaze away.

Under normal circumstances, he would just talk nonsense to us, like a madman.

While we weren't paying attention, he bumped into the wall and then quickly sent the person over.

The hand that was holding him suddenly felt heavier, but it had already gone numb and he didn't feel anything.

Why would you choose the last desperate road...

They had obviously made all the necessary preparations for tonight and were absolutely sure they could rescue them.

But now, how could this happen...

He pushed the door open and shook his head at the people waiting outside.

Upon hearing this, he slumped down to the ground, looking as if he had lost all desire to live.

I stuffed it into his hands personally when we first met.
