"So you had this in mind from the beginning?"
"It's not a calculation, but just a hunch."
There were voices, and it sounded like two men were talking about something.
"What's the premonition?" the man asked.
"I have a feeling that Irene Adler is not such a simple person. She must want to do something else, but we don't know it yet." Another man replied.
"So this was a trap you set? You used me, you bastard!" The man's voice got louder.
"It's not really taking advantage of her, it's just preparation. I guess if Irene wants to do something, the time alone with you is her only chance. We are not here, only you, her defeated general, are here." The other man continued.
"What do you mean by defeated general?"
"Haven't you been fooled by her once? If it's you again, this will make her let down her guard."
"Let your guard down? She almost killed me!"
"But I changed the bullets, especially for you. Otherwise, when she shot you, she might have used live bullets, and you would be a corpse now."
"So I should thank you, right?" The man's words were filled with anger.
"You can thank me if you want." The other man said shamelessly.
"Lorenzo!"
Red Falcon's voice got louder, and he was about to greet Lorenzo when he was interrupted by Lorenzo.
"She seems to be awake."
After he finished speaking, a blurry big face appeared in his field of vision. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, but then he felt a slight pain in his neck.
"The Florend potion should help you sober up... Wow, Red Falcon, you're really cruel. Can't you be gentler to the lady?"
"She almost killed me, Lorenzo! Almost, just that little bit!"
As the two of them were quarreling, Irene gradually woke up.
She didn't know what the so-called Florend potion was, but the effect after the injection was obvious. She felt that her head was taken out of her skull, then soaked in cold water, and then roughly stuffed back after cooling down.
Irene blinked hard and finally saw her surroundings clearly. She was lying on the bed and tried to move, but her limbs were obviously tied up by something. Lorenzo and Falcon were sitting on either side of her, one on each side.
Hong Yan's arms were completely tied up with bandages, with a protective gear hanging around his neck. There were many more wounds on his face. Irene remembered that they were caused by the beatings she had just given him.
Lorenzo on the other side was the same as usual. He was looking at him seriously, but in the depths of his gray-blue eyes, there was a hint of teasing.
He won, and Irene couldn't help herself and showed her true colors in front of Lorenzo.
"Although you said you came to help us, how can I believe the words of someone like you?"
Seeing that Irene had regained consciousness, Lorenzo began to tell the story slowly.
"Did you do all this on purpose?"
Irene's voice was a little weak. She felt a headache. But when she thought about it, it made sense. The blow from the Red Falcon was very powerful. In order to bandage the wound, the doctor cut off Irene's long hair and wrapped it around her head again and again.
