all blood

A string in my heart broke with a crisp sound.

Ive tried his best just to open the envelope, the thin kraft paper was like a steel plate, making him sweat profusely.

A corner of the white leather paper was exposed, and the red seal on it pressed down the stamp of "Vampire Population Control Planning Committee". Ive paused for a few seconds, he recognized this stamp.

It was written on the paper in the language of the blood race, and it roughly meant that there is any objection to the results of the second inspection of Yves Arcat's population control plan, please cooperate with the investigation.

It was mentioned during the interview.Back then, the blood race made a political show, and Yves was one of the lucky ones who made an exception and woke up from the population control plan.After the political show, they will also face a second random inspection, and the standards for the second inspection will be lowered accordingly. If they can meet the minimum standards, they can continue to live. If they cannot, they will consider returning to fulfill the population control plan as appropriate.

The people of the tribe often only pay attention to the "population control plan" itself, and know little about the second inspection. Ive has indeed gone through the second inspection. After lowering the standard, his report results show that he is qualified.Now this letter raises objections to the results, in other words, casts doubt on his eligibility to remain in the Empire.

"..."

Ive is like a rusty machine, he can't move while holding the paper, and every time he moves, he feels tearing pain, not in his muscles and bones, but in his heart.

I don't know how long I stood there, the office door rang one after another, the footsteps were dense, and everyone rushed over. Obviously they also understood the situation, and seeing Ive's distraught look, they stopped by his side.

"Yves...Yves!" Reid couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, trying to warm him as much as possible, but the cold skin was heartbreaking.

Neil was standing at the back, and he was also in a daze, chanting.

"For Satan's sake, I shouldn't have put you on that goddamn talk show! Yves, I'm a fucking idiot!"

Reid turned around and grabbed Neil's neck, and pulled it roughly in front of his face. The veins on his forehead tensed up and jumped up and down, as if blood would burst out at any time.

"You have the guts to say it! It's because of that damn talk show you arranged that Yves was brought to the forefront!"

As soon as the talk show was aired, it triggered an explosion in the ratings. Many people didn't know about Ive's past in the "population control plan". Crazy to find out about Yifu's past and report it.

Reid clenched his teeth, fists trembling, and questioned Neil: "You once told me that if you dared to mention Yves' past, you would kill me. Now I want to kill you!"

Neil's face was very ugly, his lips were pursed again and again. He always looked down on Red, but now he accepted all the blame.Some time ago, he got carried away with complacency, thinking that "Hot Kiss" had reached its peak, and then his emotions began to swell, becoming slack and arrogant.Under the lure of someone with ulterior motives, he persuaded Yves to participate in the interview. Even though he emphasized not to ask unnecessary questions, the TV personality who was eager for quick success and quick profit didn't seem to take the agreement seriously.

"I...I'm sorry..."

"What's the use of talking about it now!" Red reprimanded sharply.

"Stop arguing." Eve whispered.

Red and Neil looked at Yves at the same time. He was like an exhibit in a wax museum, delicate and stiff, with no signs of emotion on his face, cold.

"Get out, I want to be alone."

*******

The job was handed over, and now Neal and Red just concentrate on Eve's business.

"Damn it, I can't stop it no matter what!" Neil yelled and cursed in front of the computer. He asked someone to delete all the reports about Yves, but he couldn't delete them. The provocative and inducing clowns surrounded him like locusts Yves' past experience is making a big fuss, and a large number of people are contributing to the flames.

Not only that, what was even worse was the rumor that Ive bribed the inspectors to pass the assessment during the second inspection of the population control plan. This is undoubtedly another fatal story that is not good for them.

After the incident spread, public opinion was divided into several positions: one is that Yves is a liar, he continued to live in the empire by buying off prosecutors to deceive the public, and he has been cheating for so many years; the other is purely for the low The contempt of the bloodlines, thinking that the eliminated products can be mixed, the prospect of the empire is worrying; there are also some clansmen who support Eve, but because there are too many trolls and brushes, some good people's remarks Pressed down, resulting in a misleading situation.

"The comments are overwhelmingly unfavorable to Ive, which is very abnormal." Reid frowned.

"It's organized, someone is trying to put Yves to death!" Neil's computer desk trembled, furious, "They actually recruited a large number of people to induce public opinion, and it is difficult to clean up in a short time , When it is under control, I am afraid that a situation that is unfavorable to Ive has already formed."

"Is it from Pullman?" Reid deduced.

"It's probably them. It is estimated that the Mystic Blood faction is also secretly supporting their actions." Neil frowned.

The comments on the screen swiped one after another, and Reid carefully analyzed the above comments. Since the news that "Ive bribed the inspectors to pass the assessment" was revealed, the situation has completely collapsed. In other words, everyone is Stuck on this issue.Reid came up with an idea: "We should investigate the inspector first. If he lied, things could be reversed in our favor."

Neil also agreed, but just as they were about to take action, another person walked in.If it is not a high-level person, it is not qualified to enter the company's internal area. The person who came was Mr. Hugo, and there was a man in a suit next to him.

"Mr. Hugo, you are here too." Reid saluted.

Neil pointed to the unfamiliar face and asked, "Who is this?"

"One of my own." Mr. Hugo introduced, the new face is his family's lawyer, who has served their family for hundreds of years, has rich experience and is absolutely reliable.

After introducing himself, the lawyer opened the briefcase and took out the documents. He pushed his glasses and spoke.

"The prosecutor who was rumored to have been bribed by Mr. Akat has been detained for investigation. I went to fight for permission to interview him, but the approval was delayed after going through the proper procedures."

"..." Everyone was thinking about the meaning of these words.

Reid lowered his voice and said, "It's certain that someone is behind the scenes."

The lawyer nodded and continued: "The current situation has a great negative impact on Mr. Akat. Many remarks are to push the topic to extremes, and Mr. Akat did not respond in time. Even if you want to calm the matter with external forces In other words, what Mr Ackat himself said is equally important."

"Can we investigate the situation of Yves during the second audit, if we can prove that the inspector is lying, it will be very beneficial to us." Reid hoped that Mr. Hugo could help collect the information at that time, and he personally went to check.

"Yes." Mr. Hugo agreed, and he summed up the next thing, "We must first let Yves respond, and then investigate separately, so that he cannot continue to be wronged."

Everyone nodded, and if the incident spread, it would undoubtedly be spilling blood and silver on Ive's wound.But at this time someone sang a different tune.

"I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain."

The naysayer is Yves himself.

"Ive." Reid said, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. Ive's eyes were empty, and there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, which was mocking.

He ignored everyone and announced in public, his voice was hoarse and bloodshot, completely opposite to his usual crispness.

"There's really nothing to investigate, I haven't been wronged, no, because..."

"I just bribed the inspector during the second review to pass. The rumors are true..."

"I lied to...everyone."

His tone became more and more sad, and there was a solemn sadness in the silence, so sad that it made my heart ache.

Mr. Hugo supported his forehead, Neil slumped his shoulders, Reid clenched his fists tightly, and Eve squatted on the ground, watching the ground as if sinking into the bottom of the water, gradually drowning.

*******

Things have become extremely difficult, and their situation is very passive, because the other party is using the real truth. If they forcibly reverse the situation, it means that they need to tell more lies.

The lawyer proposed to ask Yves to have another "Comprehensive Evaluation of Vampire" examination, which was arranged by Mr. Hugo. Only when we understand the situation can we propose the next countermeasures.

Eve stood in the corner like an innocent child, quietly listening to their arrangement, having no choice.

……

Today's night is particularly bright and clean, and the round moon seems to have been solidified, frozen into a large piece, like frozen butter.

Red checked the equipment, night suit, and carried a few light weapons.Yves was temporarily handed over to Mr. Hugo and Neil to take care of him, and he couldn't just stand by and investigate.

After leaving the old house, Red took a detour to the street and got the car ready in the woods.

After starting the engine, the car was just driving towards the road, when suddenly a figure flashed by, lying in front of the car, and Reid quickly stepped on the brakes.

The headlights in front of the car illuminated a familiar figure, it was Neil.

"Human, although I have been displeased with you for a long time, but this time for Yves, let's act together."

Red didn't answer, looking at Neil through the windshield.
