Chapter 254
Carl still had other things to do, so he sent them into the hall and left in a hurry. Xi Ning walked around for a while. It was like a small villa. There were several rooms on the second floor. Xi Ning chose one facing the west and let the servants bring things over and tidy up the place.
After everything was settled, Xi Ning lay down on the bed, tilted his head and asked Louis who was standing near the table, “What are you guys saying when we were in the car?”
Now that the two of them are safe, Louis no longer hid the matter from him, saying that they were almost attacked that night.
He thought Xi Ning would be afraid or worried, but seeing that he was very calm and only said “oh” in a daze.
Xi Ning said to the system, “It turns out that before I knew it, the plot of the assassination was over, and now even the plot of the poisoning has passed. The plot should be able to proceed smoothly to the last one, right?”
He felt puzzled again. “I didn’t hear a single sound that night. Did the Beast clan get afraid and escape halfway?”
Seeing that he didn’t have a strange expression at all, Louis breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed Xi Ning’s face, and told him that Carl had secretly sent someone to protect them.
Xi Ning had a reaction this time. He opened his eyes and sat up. After a while, he lay back down. “He is so kind to you.”
Louis lowered his eyes. “He just wants to protect you.”
Laying down with him, Xi Ning rubbed over and turned over on top of him, listening to Louis’ steady heartbeat. “No, he did this because of you.”
Louis did not refute this time. He held Xi Ning in his arms and stayed quietly for a while, then turned his head to look out the window. “The weather is good today. Do you want to go to the yard to play?”
There was a swimming pool in the yard, and Xi Ning immediately became interested. “Okay.”
–
Xi Ning was sent to Carl’s place, and Nighthawk couldn’t find a chance to assassinate Xi Ning again, so he came crying to Fei Shi. “I really can’t get into the residence of General Carl, I’m sorry that my mission failed.”
He didn’t expect the president to make such a ruthless decision. He directly sent Xi Ning out of the palace, and he didn’t worry that Xi Ning would be in danger elsewhere, plus Carl’s mansion was harder to enter than the palace. Not even a fly could go in. There were more surveillance cameras than in the presidential palace, and there were no blind spots.
Fei Shi frowned. “We have to wait for now. It’s impossible for His Royal Highness Sea Clan to not come back on the wedding day.”
“Wait?” Nighthawk vaguely sensed that he was probably hiding something from the clan. “But I will report the situation on my side truthfully.”
Both of his operations failed, and Nighthawk was ready to receive the penalty. As for Fei Shi, NIghthawk still reminded him, “The longer you drag the matter on, unexpected situations might happen. At present, we can only try to assassinate Morrison. If you need help, you can contact me at any time.”
Fei Shi responded and hung up the communication device.
Ever since he and Morrison have had an undeserved relationship, it seemed that everything was out of control. Before Morrison and Sea Clan settled on a marriage, he felt the happiest when spending time together with him.
After the alliance between the Federation and the Sea Clan, their next action would definitely be unfavorable for the Beast clan. One side was the person he likes, and the other was his own clan. Fei Shi sat alone in the study room until dawn.
Before going to the parliament in the morning, he opened the drawer at the bottom of the desk, took out the small knife attached to the wooden board, checked it, and put it in a hidden place in his clothes.
At the same time, the Federation was also strictly investigating everyone in the palace. Every servant and guard had to be checked. Nighthawk was so scared to death that he urged Fei Shi to make a decision quickly, otherwise he would go back to the Beast clan first.
Compared with the tension of the original plot, Xi Ning and Louis had a very comfortable life here with Carl, and he almost forgot about the mission.
After a month, the time for the final mission was gradually approaching. The central system found that Xi Ning was too far away from the mission site and had been there for a long time, and issued a primary warning to him.
Even though it was a warning, in fact it was just a reminder. It only suggested that Xi Ning return to the mission site and wait, as to avoid any unexpected situation in the plot or he will be too late to deal with it.
Xi Ning was hesitating. He tried to ask Louis when he would go back. Louis half-jokingly said, “We won’t go back anymore.”
When Xi Ning didn’t know, Carl had talked to Louis once, and euphemistically said that if Louis would accept his identity, he would ask the president to change Xi Ning’s marriage partner, and he would also deal with the Sea clan and the president.
Xi Ning is not favored in the Sea Clan, plus the Sea Clan advocated the strong. The only son of a general not much different than the President’s son. As long as the Sea Clan is dealt with, the Federation will be more easily dealt with.
Louis had guessed some of Carl’s thoughts early on, and he has been struggling recently.
And he found that when facing Carl, he was still too naive. This place had even tighter security than the Federal Palace, so it was more difficult for him to escape.
