Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Less than an hour after the interrogation ended, a text message came from the west wing of the Rose Palace—that is, the place called the cabinet by the people of the empire.The Prime Minister wants to speak to someone from MI and Home Affairs.Lu En had no reason to refuse this meeting, he looked at his subordinate standing behind him, and showed a shallow smile.
The Rose Palace was very familiar to Lu En. When he arrived at the west wing, it was already brightly lit.After passing through several security doors, Lu En came to the meeting room smoothly.
"Oh, it's you." The senior military secretary raised his head the moment the meeting room door was opened, but his smiling face disappeared the moment he saw Luen.
This was not the first time Lu En had seen such an expression.He had seen such an expression since the first day he became the Chief of Military Intelligence.Don't think he will be sad because he won't.Luen Pixar is not just Luen Pixar, he is also a person who is fighting on the road to power composed of countless schemes and bones. "Marshal Oberstein, nice to meet you. My name is Lune Peake, and Tim is the Chief of Military Intelligence." Luen walked up to the Secretary of Military Affairs with a smile on his face, and politely greeted and introduced himself.
But the Secretary of Military Affairs apparently ignored him.In the empire, being an Omega is always more difficult than being an Alpha.
At this moment, the director of the Department of Internal Affairs walked in.No, or rather, he stood outside for a while, until he saw that Lu En was left out in the cold, he walked in contentedly.He opened his hands, walked up to the Secretary of Military Affairs, and said, "Marshal Oberstein, long time no see."
Different from his indifference when facing Rune, this old Alpha who occupied one-third of the empire's power stood up.He hugged him.An Alpha and another Alpha.Perhaps they were not so familiar with each other, but in order to embarrass Lu En, they made a more intimate gesture than usual.But if they think that they can do it just by relying on this, they are very wrong.
Not only did Lu En's face remain unchanged, but he didn't even feel uncomfortable in his heart.He scanned the long tables in the conference room, and then sat down on the seat with his name printed on it.Not long after, the prime minister appeared.This prime minister, who is only a little younger than the queen, is the most inconspicuous person among the previous prime ministers of the empire.But as long as he is still the prime minister, on the surface, he is the commander of the entire imperial government except the empress.
The meeting started shortly after the "prince", Prime Minister Prince, came in.
Anderson Andward was framed.Lu En was sure of this, and from the first second he entered the interrogation room, he knew that the people inside had no guts to plot against the Queen.Why do you say that?Because a person who dared to murder the queen would not be so timid.But others don't think so.
"As I said, he's not the person we're looking for." Lu En sat behind the long table in the conference room, smiling, but his tone was full of doubt.In fact, on such an occasion, he shouldn't speak in such a tone.But he is sitting here, besides representing himself, he also represents the Military Intelligence Department.Although at such a meeting, both the Military Intelligence Department and the Department of Internal Affairs are just a small part of the cabinet, and they are nothing in front of the Prime Minister and the Secretary of Military Affairs.
Prime Minister Prince, who was already quite old, withdrew his eyes on his brain. He stared at Lu En thoughtfully, but before the Secretary of the Strong Military spoke, he first expressed his attitude: "Military Intelligence Department I understand what you mean. What about the Department of Home Affairs? Andrew, I want to hear your opinion."
Andrew Sen—the director of the Department of Internal Affairs, that is, the male Alpha that Lu En met yesterday with the same epaulettes as him, clicked on his brain, and projected the information of Anderson Andward onto the In the middle of the long table. "First of all, I would like to thank Director Pixar of the Military Intelligence Department for his assistance. Since the suspect Anderson Andward was captured by our department, I think I have more say in this matter." He paused and scanned the audience. The person continued, "As Director Pixar said, our company has all the information about Anderson Andward. First, he is an Omega; second, his partner has been confirmed as an alliance A secret agent lurking in the empire; third, he is pregnant. Other than that, I have nothing more to say."
This is also called nothing to say?Lu En closed his eyes and opened them again.He slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, half-smile.He stretched out his finger, tapped the table lightly, and said in a tone that seemed to be both mocking and approving: "Director Sen's words are very correct. The behavior of dogs is always easy to be misunderstood. People guessed, didn't they?"
Such a serious insult is actually not suitable for such an occasion.But if Andrew was allowed to chatter there, both Lu En and the Military Intelligence Department would lose face.Who told him to be an Omega? Omega would always have a bad temper for a few days every few months.
Andrew is not a good-tempered person, he has never known what forbearance is, even on such occasions.As soon as Lu En spoke, he raised his fist and rushed in front of Lu En: "You damned Omega! Get out of Pixar!"
Of course, Lu En would not be caught without a fight. He sneered, not only did not dodge Andrew's fist, but instead met him head-on and grabbed the fist he swung: "Director Sen, you are rude."
Andrew stared into Lu En's eyes, and he suddenly felt that he had underestimated the Omega in front of him.After a long time, Andrew put away his fist and laughed loudly: "Dear Pixar, you are not serious, are you? This is just a joke. You know, no Alpha will do anything to an Omega."
"A joke? I hope." Lu En pursed his lips and revealed a soft smile.He didn't chase after him relentlessly, the proper persecution was to show his own strength, but this measure needed to be carefully grasped.Once passed, it is easy to arouse the resentment of the few authority figures here.
"Okay, both of you. I don't think the purpose of our gathering here is to watch the petty conflict between the two of you. I don't care at all whether this Omega, Ann or something, is a participant. What I care about is the safety of the Empress. "The Prime Minister slowly stood up from his chair.Although he is an Alpha, his character is not considered strong, even a little weak.Of course, this is one of the reasons why he survived successfully between the Queen and Prince Philip. "To reiterate, the only thing I care about is the safety of the Empress." Prime Minister Prince propped his hands on the table, scanning a circle of everyone present.This time, he did not choose to be weak.Because, in the empire, no one dared to risk the queen's safety.
After a pause, Prime Minister Prince sat back in his seat.He turned on his intellectual brain, pulled out the Queen's itinerary in his hand, and said, "Everyone, Marshal Oberstein, I think you have already received this Queen's itinerary in my hand. I need your assurance that after Before finding out who is behind this terrorist operation, all places where the Empress needs to attend must be completely emptied."
Marshal Oberstein, the Queen's most trusted military secretary, took the lead in agreeing. "In my jurisdiction, I can guarantee this." He said, looking sideways at Lu En.
This is provocation.If Luen doesn't answer, he will appear weak.Once he shows weakness, he can't sit firmly in his position. "I'm fine too." Luen said without hesitation, "According to the Queen's schedule, she will pass by between 28:[-] pm and [-]:[-] pm after finishing her reception in the fief at [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th. My jurisdiction—that is, Mullins Street. At that time, there will be a power outage. No one will appear there except the Queen." Since Andrew Sen wants to embarrass him, he won't mind at this time, Kick the ball back.
"Very good. Then Andrew, can you guarantee it? The Queen's fief is in your jurisdiction." After Lu En finished speaking, the Prime Minister shifted his gaze to Andrew Sen. "Can you empty it?"
"Empty?" Andrew deliberately raised his tone, frowning, "Although Rose is under my jurisdiction, the nobles there won't be happy..."
"That means you can't do anything?" The prime minister's brows gathered together, and he tapped on the table, "I'm very disappointed in you, Andrew. You know, you're an Alpha."
This is a very serious accusation.In a place like the Rose Palace, goodness means satisfaction and disappointment means blame.Lu En watched Andrew's face slowly turn pale, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.If it weren't for such an occasion that it was not suitable to add insult to injury, he really wanted to say another word.
"I understand, Prime Minister." Under Lu En's gaze, Andrew agreed. "I will clear all the streets of Rose."
"Very well, since that's the case, the meeting is over." After the prime minister finished speaking, he turned and left.Then came the Secretary of the Military Commission, and then Andrew.Lu En waited until everyone had left before slowly standing up from the chair.
He looked around quietly for a week, looking through the meeting room.Soon, whoever made him suffer today will pay for it.Thinking of this, Lu En showed a charming smile.
But will everything really go as smoothly as Lu En thought?of course not.Any action to scramble for power will inevitably involve the appearance of blood.
