Chapter 1446: King’s order 1445
Lin Yu couldn’t pass up this opportunity. He quickly pulled out his high-definition video camera and started recording.
Tan Rou didn’t use her full strength, holding back a bit of power. If she had, she could have killed someone with a single strike. She wanted to teach these unreasonable people a lesson, but she didn’t intend to take a life.
It was only when there were no standing people left that Tan Rou threw away the stick in her hand and asked, “Does anyone else want to give it a try? If you do, better make it quick.”
The man who had started the trouble got up from the ground. Covering his injured wrist with his uninjured hand, he said, “You’ll see, my dad will never let you get away with this!”
“Oh,” Tan Rou said indifferently, “that’s fine, you can tell your dad to come find me.” She took out a very small device from her pocket and played a recording from the elevator.
After listening to the recording, the tall man was still not afraid and shouted at Tan Rou, “What does this recording prove? My dad is a Duke, he will definitely take revenge for me.”
Tan Rou naturally didn’t think this recording would threaten these noble scions, but she didn’t record it for them to listen. She meant to play it for the person with the most power.
In this country, no one has more power than the King. As long as His Majesty the King was on Tan Rou’s side, she wouldn’t get into trouble. However, His Majesty the King probably didn’t have time to listen to the recording recently, but that wasn’t an issue, the King had a sister.
Tan Rou tapped a few times on her phone and sent the recording to Princess Samiyi.
Soon, she got a reply. Samiyi told her the issue was resolved and asked her not to be angry.
Tan Rou was indeed angry, but not because she had encountered these rude noble sons. What really irritated her was the outdated equipment in the research building. Now that she had dealt with those men, her anger dissipated, and everything seemed right in her eyes.
“You just wait, my father will come for you soon, and when he does, you won’t be leaving our country alive!” the tall man said through gritted teeth.
Tan Rou pointedly asked, “Oh, is your father’s power that great?”
“Of course it is. My father is very powerful. Even His Majesty the King has to show some respect to him,” the tall man bragged.
Lin Yu put away his video camera, walked up to them, and said to the arrogant man, “Mr. Xite, I advise you to talk less. If you keep on, your father won’t be able to save you either.”
Tan Rou stopped Lin Yu, “Mr. Lin, don’t interrupt him, let him continue. I am quite curious to know how his father plans to deal with me.”
Lin Yu said helplessly, “Miss Rou, we have important business to attend to. Let’s not waste time here. They’re not worth it.”
Tan Rou disagreed, “I quite enjoy talking with them. We had a pleasant chat in the elevator earlier. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
Lin Yu rolled his eyes. A pleasant chat? Wasn’t that just one-sided harassment?
Just then, a squad of guards suddenly burst in and headed straight toward Tan Rou. Tan Rou thought it was that noble son’s father coming to settle accounts with her and was ready to fight again when the leading guard spoke.
“Miss Rou, I apologize for the disturbance today. We are here by His Majesty the King’s command to escort you back to the palace. Please come with us,” the lead guard said.
Tan Rou nodded slightly, “Alright, let’s go.”
The King was still bedridden, so these guards must have been arranged by Samiyi. Tan Rou thought Samiyi was quite efficient; she had just sent the message, and Samiyi had already arranged for someone to escort her.
“She can’t leave!” Xite blocked their way, “She broke my hand, and she must be punished!”
The guard gave Xite a glance, then moved him aside, “Miss Rou, we are here by His Majesty the King’s orders to take you back. His Majesty has decreed that if anyone obstructs, shoot on sight.”
With those words, the guard took out a black pistol from his belt holster, then loaded the chamber with bullets.
