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

She was tilting her head to look at the scenery outside the house, the sunlight shining through the door onto her still delicate face, as if age had only brought her a more graceful demeanor.

Why did you come to me?

Yoko lay on the table, leaning forward a little, and stopped when she was one finger away from him.

Keisuke Kaneda, is it time to get rid of him?

Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, his ears felt a little hot, and he pressed her shoulders again, trying to cover up his reaction.

Really, you are already so old, just talk about business, why are you staring at him with such... eyes.

After not seeing him for many years, he has become more and more open-minded. He doesn't look like a demon, but more like a monster...

Suddenly remembering the rumors about her in recent years, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Seeing that He Wensu did not refute, Muto Takashi also knocked on the table, and then several soldiers came in, grabbed the man and dragged him out.

Then his gaze turned to Shi Yan, who had just escaped from the tiger's mouth. Shi Yan's body immediately tensed up, with a look of relief on his face for surviving the disaster.

Regarding today's incident, whether Muto Takashi really believed it or was just taking this opportunity to deal with He Wensu.

For Shi Yan, it was a choice between life and death.

Therefore, his fate will take two possible directions.

One option is to be executed together with He Wensu, and the other is to be retained.

Muto Takashi just nodded at him and let him go.

Shi Yan walked out of the office and took a deep breath. He had barely passed this level.

However, he always felt that this matter was such a coincidence, as if someone had arranged it on purpose.

Like that poison.

Regarding the matter of Mr. Ren, apart from following the instructions and pretending to get the report from Mr. Ren in order to gain his trust, he had no say in anything else.

When Mr. Ren rushed towards He Wensu like a madman, he didn't react until he heard a bang, and then he completely understood Mr. Ren's intention.

There must be a lurker who had been arranged in advance. This is the only way it makes sense.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw Yoko who had quietly followed him out.

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. This woman has been pretending to be invisible in the office since just now.

It seemed that before things happened, he could always see her appearing next to He Wensu, but she always stayed out of everything.

Could it be that these things have something to do with her?

Then he shook his head secretly. He had investigated before coming here and the answer he gave was: not sure, but it can be won over.

Noticing Shi Yan's gaze, Yoko looked up and looked at him in confusion.

Could he have guessed something?

Yoko asked herself uncertainly, even though she knew his identity, she had no intention of having anything to do with him.

After all, they have their own paths to follow and there is no need to tie them together.

Taking a step back, even if Shi Yan guessed it, it wouldn't matter. He is a smart man and knows that not interfering with each other is the safest way.

After figuring this out, Yoko calmly walked out of his sight.

For some time afterwards, Yoko would still find ways to visit the imprisoned He Wensu in prison every now and then.

He was tortured beyond recognition. Even when Yoko came to see him, he could only lean against the wall and breathe. He had difficulty speaking and could only look at her pleadingly with his eyes open.

Yoko seemed very embarrassed, but finally agreed to his request.

He used He Wensu's existing connections to contact some people for him, intending to take him out among the pile of corpses.

Hua felt sick in her heart, thinking that if you, an old thing, weren't still of some use, how could I have let an old pervert like you take advantage of me!

"Uncle, are you making fun of me again?" Hua said coquettishly.

"Haha, girl, I really can't do anything about you. I heard that you went on a date today? Which boy is it? I can check for you as an uncle." Witt started to test.

This cunning old man, Hua cursed in his heart, thinking that he must be the one who sent people to monitor him today, but he also knew his methods, so he simply told him what happened today: "It's not a date, I just went out for a drink with a friend, and talked about some family matters."

"Really?" Witt naturally didn't believe it.

Seeing Witt's expression, he knew he shouldn't keep hiding it. "Actually, she is a member of our organization, codenamed Yue. Today, she just told us that she has discovered a traitor among us, but she doesn't know who it is. She wants us to find out within three days."

"Really? What do you think?"

"Niece has no idea, so she came to see her uncle!"

"Since you trust me so much, uncle might as well try to replace the original with the new one."

"Change?" Hua looked at Witt's eyes and instantly understood the meaning, but she was troubled.

Seeing that Hua was still hesitating, Werther advised, "Do you still have feelings for that person? Have you forgotten your sister?"

"No, I haven't forgotten. I just don't want to hurt anyone else."

"Silly child, in this world, your kindness cannot win the mercy of others. Just like your sister, do you want her to die with regrets?"

"Don't say anything, uncle. I know what to do." Hua lay in Werther's arms and sobbed softly. The scene of her sister being murdered kept flashing before her eyes. She secretly vowed to cut the man into pieces to commemorate her sister's soul.

But her husband... has never been someone she could ever dream of. She only hopes that she can behave herself and work wholeheartedly for him.

"Brother..." Bai Gui said hesitantly, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but I know what I am doing. Don't worry, I will keep my mind to myself."

The white ghost walked away hurriedly, leaving the man alone trembling slightly in the dark. It had been a long time since he heard this name. Since that incident, she had always refused to admit it, and even hid herself under a mask. It was not until she met the gentleman that she relaxed a little. However, when following the gentleman, the last thing she needed was love. No matter what kind of love it was, it might hinder the gentleman's plan. I hope she can recognize it clearly... A smile appeared on her usually cold face, and then she flashed into the dark.

……

"The old place? OK, I got it, I'll be there right away!" A woman turned off the phone, picked up her coat and hurried out the door.

Yue received new instructions from Bai Gui. Knowing that the matter was urgent, she notified Hua who was on the mission. What she couldn't understand was what exactly did the gentleman mean by this?

It stands to reason that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. That way, there won't be any fear of alerting the enemy. Or is this... a test?

Could it be that the gentleman doubted me and said that the most suitable person for this task was the mature and steady Feng, but he sent Hua instead?

Thinking of this, an idea intensified in Yue's mind, attacking her nerves. Without thinking too much, she quickened her pace to reach the agreed place.

"You're finally here!" Hua, fully armed, appeared in front of Yue. Yue looked at her and waved her hand in disdain, "Aren't you more eye-catching?"

Hua looked around and said, "You know my identity. There might be paparazzi taking pictures of me right now. It's all your fault for choosing such a crowded place."

Yue thought for a moment, lowered her voice and pretended to be nonchalant, "Okay, this time I came here because your father asked me to investigate your sister-in-law. That man does exist, and I heard there is more than one."

"What?" Hua stood up from her seat in surprise.

Yue raised her hand and pushed her down, pretending to be helpless and said in a normal tone, "This... after all, is your sister-in-law's family affair, so it's not right for us to interfere, right?"

Yue gave her a look, indicating that someone was watching her.

Hua finally suppressed her emotions and followed Yue's words, "Are you serious? If she really caused such a big mess, what will happen to my brother?"

"I heard what the head of the family said. We should find that person, settle the matter and then get divorced!" Yue said, and took a deliberate glance at Hua. Hua seemed impatient at this time, as if she cared about Yue's answer very much.

"Is... is that so? Then what does my dad say?"

"Your father thinks he has brought shame to his ancestors, and he is determined to find the cancer within three days. It looks like your sister-in-law will not recover." Yue said something that seemed to be true but was not.

"Does my dad have any evidence against my sister-in-law?" Hua's eyes flashed with anxiety.

The answer in Yue's heart was about to come out. Holding back the emotions that were about to burst out, she squeezed out two words, "No!"

After her, a man in a suit also left. When Yue noticed this, she slowed down her pace suspiciously, carefully identified the sound, and then quickly slipped into the alley. When the man saw that the man had disappeared, he turned around and went back as well.
