The atmosphere in the safe house was depressing, and Mrs. Nashley stopped talking after finishing the phone call.

The bodyguard pulled up the detailed report and showed them to them.

At 9:42 this morning, Duke Bai Yin's car passed through the central square and was shot by a sniper ambushing a nearby building. The armor-piercing bullet shattered the bulletproof glass of the back seat. The bodyguards in the car immediately covered the Duke.

After being evacuated, the military police near the central square quickly surrounded the building.

The sniper committed suicide before being captured.

So far, no organization has claimed responsibility for this incident, and the media has unanimously concluded that this was an act of private revenge - but can "private individuals" obtain enough armor-piercing bullets to penetrate the back seat of Baiyin?

"How is Edmond now?" Mrs. Nashley listened to the radio for a long time, but did not hear any news about Mr. Baiyin.

"The situation is unknown."

"Unclear?" Mrs. Nashley looked like she was about to faint.

Karan quickly took Alice from her hand.

"Madam, no news is good news. If he had died, the news would have been all over the sky by now."

Mrs. Nashley gave her a deep look.

Karan is no more relaxed than her now.

Because if Siovel dies, the last barrier between her and the discriminatory society will be gone. Arnold and Raphael cannot protect her and Alice maturely. Because of inheritance issues, their mother and daughter may also have to face the consequences of

Death threats to the Davis family, and at this time, it is difficult to judge the sides of Arnold and Raphael.

Mrs. Nashley tried to calm down, but her lips were still pale and trembling: "Maybe he learned Dunant's lesson."

Callan knew only a little about the Dunant assassination.

On the day she arrived at Thornbird Manor in a slave car, Theowell gave a speech in Congress on the issue of the Fourth Amendment, but was openly interrupted by Dunant.

This is actually a small matter.

Because the royalists in the House of Lords never calmed down when the Prime Minister gave a speech. But the royalists had double standards. They found Dunant's blatant opposition to be extremely offensive and completely unacceptable.

Soon after, Dunan was hospitalized due to a car accident.

The person who caused the accident while drunk refused to defend himself and directly confessed.

Not long after, Dunan died in the hospital. The cause of death was unknown.

The media generally believed that he died due to ineffective treatment.

But from what Mrs. Nashley said just now, it seemed that the royalists wanted to plot Dunan's death in a car accident but failed, so they had no choice but to sneak into the hospital to assassinate him.

Dunant is the favorite to be the next prime minister.

As soon as he died, the Prime Minister was frightened and left the country.

After the Prime Minister avoided the limelight abroad for a period of time, internal conflicts within the royalist party intensified, and Bai Yin Gong and Bai Xue Gong were in trouble. The Prime Minister returned to the country to stabilize the situation.

Now it can be considered that this is a comeback.

Because after he returned to China, the domestic opposition to the Fourth Amendment became more and more intense, and university campus parades almost became a daily sight.

Shortly after Bai Yin Gong compromised and withdrew his troops, Bai Xue Gong was assassinated at the university.

This is also an unsolved case whose truth remains unclear.

Xiovel once told Karan that Snow White directed and acted himself.

Karan thinks it makes sense now.

Because Xiovir had just compromised and completely withdrawn its troops from the Eastern Front.

At this time, Snow White, as a peaceful and conservative man, is likely to become the target of revenge for him and the Davis family. Therefore, Snow White takes the first step and plans a fake bombing, making it miserable in front of the Queen and the public, and pointing the finger at the biggest suspect.

The Xiovir faction made him restrained and did not dare to move.

Then less than a month later, Bai Yingong was assassinated.

This time the sniper was well-trained and well-equipped, and committed suicide immediately after completing the mission.

This must be the work of a rival party.

But Karan couldn't think of who did it.

Xiovir should be injured now, but no relevant information should be revealed, otherwise we will refer to Dunan's fate. Until his injury stabilizes and the cause is found out, Kallan and the others have to stay in the safe house.

The assassination of Bai Yingong caused a great stir.

Recently, all campus parades have failed to pass approval, and club activities within the school have also been strictly restricted. The patrol time of the military police has nearly doubled than usual, and fighter jets can often be seen flying over the capital. From time to time, people are taken for questioning by the security department.

talk.

The entire empire was shrouded in wind and rain.

The royalists maintained a solemn calm, and even the always high-profile Snow White significantly reduced his public appearance time. The Democratic Party was silent. Anyone who asked the prime minister "how he views this incident" would only say "waiting for the results of the investigation."

Earl Davis visited the palace many times and stayed for a long time each time.

In the entire Theoville family, only Lady Tilling appeared in public.

She cried in the camera and flashlights, covering her face weakly and helplessly, and won great sympathy from the public.

Amidst all the buzz, Constance discovered that Karan and Raphael had dropped out of school together.

Karan was in poor health and had taken a semester of medical leave before. It was not suspicious to suddenly take a leave of absence from school. But she lost contact immediately after the assassination and disappeared at the same time as Raphael, which was very strange.

Constance never understood the relationship between her and Raphael.

The two of them are very familiar with each other and don't usually communicate. Only when something happens will Raphael take the initiative to come to Karan.

Constance thought about Karan's secret love affair with him.

Because Raphael was already engaged, the two could not be together publicly and could only be together secretly.

But that doesn't make sense either.

If it was an underground love affair, they would not both disappear at the same time after the assassination.

This is an "underground love affair" after all.

What would it be like if Duke Bai Yin found out that his eldest son was taking a secret lover to avoid the limelight?

Raphael was very ambitious to inherit the title.

"Sigh... Thinking about it this way, Karan is a bit pitiful." Constance sighed.

She and Raphael are destined to have no ending.

"I wonder how she is doing now..."

"Yawn!" Karan yawned.

She, Alice, Mrs. Nashley, and the bodyguards have been staying in the safe house for a whole week. There is plenty of water and food here, as well as books and game consoles to kill time.

The only drawback is that they cannot communicate with the outside world.

The security guard has a satellite phone that can receive orders, but no one else can carry communication tools.

Karan was very happy that he sent the cat to Rebecca's house for foster care.

The owl can hunt its own food, so it will definitely not starve to death.

"Did you catch a cold?" Mrs. Nashley looked at her with concern.

"Yawn!" Karan sneezed again, "No...I feel pretty good."

The bodyguard gave her boiled water and two cold medicines.

"Your resistance is really weak." Mrs. Nashley said worriedly.

Karan took the medicine, looked at the sleeping Alice, and asked in a low voice: "How many more days do we have to stay here?"

"Three days at most." The bodyguard told her, "The Duke has been discharged from the hospital."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Mrs. Nashley's eyes: "Is he okay? Where is the injury...is there any disability left?"

"No, he's very fine."

The bodyguard was not trying to appease her. The actual situation was that Mr. Bai Yin was doing very well now.

The sniper shot through the bulletproof glass of the back seat, but failed to hit the target. Because Mr. Bai Yin had a bunch of lucky rabbit feet hanging on the back seat window, blocking the sniper's view, resulting in that shot.

It failed to hit the target. When he wanted to fire a second shot, the escort vehicles nearby had already surrounded it to protect it and drove into the bunker.

The bodyguard explained: "He suffered some scratches on the side of his face, so he didn't show up in public until today. I will send you back when I hear news from him."

"Oh, my God..." Mrs. Nashley sighed heavily and took a deep breath, "He is alive, he is alive. I have been preparing for the worst these days... If something happens to him, I

I will have to go back to the Siouville family cemetery to mourn him."

Mrs. Nashley took another deep breath.

She turned around, her back facing them. Karan saw her holding up the black veil and wiping her eyes. Her shoulders were shaking and she looked very thin.

"Madam..." The bodyguard wanted to say something, but Karan stopped her.

After a while, Mrs. Nashley gradually calmed down.
