The weapon of the country

In this bedroom, the pointer of time is stopped by an invisible hand.

The young man fell asleep with his fair side face leaning against the bed. The next morning the sun shone into the room and he struggled to open his eyes.

I actually fell asleep?He was in a trance for a moment, came back to his senses, and immediately leaned forward to touch Shen Han's forehead.

"The temperature has dropped." Shen Han held his hand.

Getting too close, Zhuang Ye saw that he was only looking at himself.

He just looked at me and watched me sleep.There is a shadow under the eyes, and there is a little green stubble that pops out.

Although Shen Han was in a relaxed state, he was always neat and tidy.The length of the hair meets the standard, and the face is shaved every day.

Zhuang Ye had never seen him look slovenly, or look a bit downcast, but the strange thing is that at this moment, he clearly realized that this man loves me.

Love can't offset deceit, Zhuang Ye thought, so I'm still angry.What can counteract deceit is an apology, explanation, and behavior to prove that such a thing will not happen again.But those must be suppressed, and the moment is obviously not the time to consider personal feelings.

Zhuang Ye looked directly at him, "What shall we do next?"

Shen Han couldn't bear it, "Rely on Miss Wood."

"Her family has fallen." Zhuang Ye pointed out the reality.

Shen Han said, "Everyone thought her role was to bring Zhong Jiaqi into Fucheng, so she was useless when her family fell. In fact... the decline of her family was the beginning of the plan. She was judged useless Instead, the chess pieces are the key to breaking the game."

Three hours later, they sat down with Kay Wood.

Shen Han washed and took care of himself again, and the paleness caused by blood loss could hardly be seen.

He was tall, and the fit and ascetic black priest's robe suited him better than the shirt and trousers at this moment.

Miss Wood's eyes turned from this handsome and calm man to Zhuang Ye, and then back to Shen Han.

Shen Han gestured, "Please sit down."

"What do you want to tell me?"

Her expression and tone were full of boredom.

Shen Han said, "You have the right to know the whole plan related to you."

Kay Wood looked at him coldly with those ridiculously large eyes.

Shen Han leaned back, "The encounter between you and Zhong Jiaqi was not accidental. Since the first day you entered Wharton University, she has received orders to approach you."

Miss Wood stiffened.

"You're not the only one she's approaching. There are many dignitaries at Wharton University who hide their family backgrounds. You are the most suitable candidate for the bait."

Kay Wood suddenly started laughing wildly at himself, his face flushed with laughter, and tears came out of his eyes.

She thought... at least they met by chance, and Zhong Jiaqi just used her after discovering her identity.Unexpectedly, she was targeted long before they met. Her teenage dreams, those nights of tossing and turning for Zhong Jiaqi, worrying about gains and losses, jealous madness, all came from design.

Shen Han said, "The reason we chose you is not only because of your feelings for Zhong Jiaqi, but also because of your background—your biological mother was a slave of the empire, and you have always hated the empire."

Her mother was a slave brought to the floating city by the imperial people, and was bought by her father with a big gamble, changed her name, became a commoner, became a mistress, and died for no apparent reason not long after giving birth.

Everyone in the Floating City knew that the youngest daughter of the Wood family was born to an unworthy slave, so her father sent her to the empire.No one in the empire knew who she was, she lived an upper-class life, but laughed at everything around her in her heart.

If the princes and ladies who play and spend money with her know that she was born in slavery, these people will avoid her like the plague, and will whisper vicious things behind her back.

She hated why the empire had slaves, and hated that the nobles of the empire were superior and pretentious.

She didn't expect that this kind of hatred would one day lead her to be selected by such a plan, to be deliberately approached by others, and to be reduced to the current situation.

Kay Wood deadpanned, "What do you want me to do?"

Shen Han slowly told her the next steps.

The young lady had disheveled brown hair, her pointed face looked smaller, her face turned pale, and she stood up staggeringly.

"You are crazy!"

"I will give you enough time to think about it." Shen Han looked at her, "You have the right to refuse. Don't worry, even if you refuse, I will contact someone to protect you from Fucheng."

She had a sullen face, but panted heavily, "Then, Zhong Jiaqi—"

"This is the method with the greatest chance of winning. Without your cooperation, she will die." Shen Han said calmly.

Tears instantly blurred her vision.

Shen Han turned his back to her, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room. Zhuang Ye walked out silently and closed the door.

Behind them came hoarse cries and the sound of tables and chairs being pushed down.

Zhuang Ye asked in a low voice, "Do you think Miss Wood will agree?"

This plan requires her to make greater sacrifices after she has already made sacrifices and her family is ruined.

"When she is willing to run back to the pier for Zhong Jiaqi, she knows that she will do anything for Zhong Jiaqi." Shen Han looked at Zhuang Ye and said, "She loves Zhong Jiaqi, and Zhong Jiaqi loves the Federation."

And he loves the Commonwealth as much as he does.

Shen Han's face was backlit, Zhuang Ye could only see his deep outline.

He knew that loving the Federation was not as noble and beautiful as the news and stories, but he didn't know that loving the Federation could be a bloody and cruel thing.

Zhuang Ye asked himself at that moment, if I were Zhong Jiaqi, would I use innocent people in order to bring important achievements back to the Federation?

So far he didn't have anything to feel guilty about, but Shen Han had enough.

He and Shen Xiao didn't take care of their mother, didn't take care of the nursing home, and didn't share anything for her.Forever putting the duties of the Union and the military ahead of her, and leaving her with untold grief for her son's funeral.She raised them, and they rewarded her with death.Shen Xiao is dead, and Shen Han's situation is not safe.

Shen Han said, "Sometimes I think, my mother has raised Shen Xiao and me for so many years, it's really better to have two dogs."

Zhuang Ye had nothing to say.He can't share this burden for Shen Han, this burden will follow Shen Han until the day he dies.

They stood outside the door, listened to venting inside the door, smashed tables and chairs, smashed water glasses, and finally fell into a silence like stagnant water.

Zhuang Ye knocked on the door lightly, but there was no movement, he said, "I'm sorry..."

The door was opened, the room was in chaos, and Miss Wood sat with her knees folded, her face buried deep in the chaos.

She raised her head, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said hoarsely, "I will cooperate with you."
