Louis was locked in a small room less than 20 square meters by the military. He sat beside the bed, his legs were spread, his hands were folded, his elbows were supported on his knees, and his figure was slumped.
When Shao Zelin came in, he saw such a picture. He paused, then pulled a chair next to him and sat opposite Louis.
In just two days, a layer of cyan stubble had grown on Louis' chin. He slowly lifted his eyelids, and his eyes moved slightly after he saw that it was Shao Zelin.
"I heard that your Majesty came down just now."
Louis straightened up and hummed indifferently, "Scolded me, and then he left."
Their emperor had a bad temper when he was young, and now he is middle-aged, and his temper is getting worse day by day. Shao Zelin looked around. This is an ordinary temporary detention room. Although the sparrow is small and complete, it just looks a little rudimentary.
"Xiao An is still at my house, when can you go out?"
Since Shao Zelin walked in, Louis has been expressionless. Hearing these words, he looked over and his eyes sharpened a bit, "...Do you know that Xiao An is home?"
The two are obviously relatives, but their attitude towards each other really makes it impossible to see that they still have such a relationship. Shao Zelin's face was even colder than Louis's. He nodded, "Yes, I just came from home."
Louie's body suddenly became stiff, he pursed his lips and looked at Shao Zelin, a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, Shao Zelin said again: "Don't worry, he doesn't know you are here, and he doesn't know what you did in Scarlett, He thought you were in the Death Galaxy."
After listening to Shao Zelin's words, Louis did not relax at all, still staring at Shao Zelin.
This sentence exposed too many problems. Shao Zelin knew that he lied to Shao Ze'an, but instead of exposing him, he helped him hide it together, and even came to the military to see him. Also, he just said that he came from home, indicating that he was at home last night. Was he at home last night? Why
Lu Yi looked at Shao Zelin with vigilance and distrust in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. He just found out that his lover had been held hostage by the rebels for several months. Now he is still in a state of paranoia. Who knows if he will be around him? There are also rebels, Shao Ze'an was forced, but not others.
Shao Zelin knew what he was thinking, he was silent for a moment, and changed the subject: "Why did you cause a mental riot at Star Scarlett."
Louis narrowed his eyelids halfway. He was just about to tell the excuse that he was in love when he heard Shao Zelin's voice again, "Is it because of Xiao An?"
Louis looked at Shao Zelin, the two stared at each other for a long time, Louis's eyeballs moved stiffly, and then a strange and bitter laughter came out of his throat, after laughing, he said in a low and hoarse voice: " You know it too."
For two days and one night, Louis never slept his eyes at all. Of course, this level was nothing to his physique, but he would also feel tired, especially on the way back to the main star, he was locked in a In a small room like here, there is nothing to do, so there is more time for him to think.
"You know it," Louis didn't even think about concealing it, so he just admitted it directly.
Shao Zelin was quiet for three seconds, and then opened his mouth, "He didn't do it voluntarily. What he does now is not his original intention. My brother... Although he is not a good person, he is not a bad person either."
There are no filters in Shao Zelin's eyes. Everything he said is based on the facts. Although he said when facing his parents that Louis was Shao Ze'an's husband and would not hurt him, that was just a rhetoric to comfort his parents. At the time, Shao Zelin was not so confident.
Hearing Shao Zelin's words, Louis frowned. He understood Shao Zelin's meaning. He was justifying Shao Zean and interceding for him. He hoped to arouse Louis' sympathy and let him let Shao Ze'an go based on his past relationship.
"He is my legal partner. I care about him and feel sorry for him more than anyone else. You don't need to tell me this, because all I will do is protect him," after a pause, Louis assuredly said: "I will always It won't hurt him."
Hearing these words, Shao Zelin did not show a moved expression, but looked at Louis strangely, "You already know that Xiao An is being held hostage, so you should also know that he doesn't really want to marry you, but is watching him from behind. People asked him to do this, and when Xiao An is rescued, your marriage... will be voided."
There is no need for Shao Zelin to say this, Louis has long thought of it.
When he just learned that Shao Ze'an liked him, how happy he was, how sad he is now. It turns out that he has been affectionate for so long. It is no wonder that when he touched Shao Ze'an at the beginning, Shao Ze'an's body would become stiff. I am afraid that in his eyes, he is more terrifying than a flood and a beast.
After being rescued, the first thing he had to do was to divorce himself. After all, this was a robber-style marriage. Every day he lived with him, he lived a life of misery. When lying on the same bed, What was he thinking about
Do you feel desperate and pray in your heart with all your strength that someone can save him from such a terrifying situation
Is he willing to pay any price as long as he can leave the rebels and leave his side
Many emotions were hidden in his heart, and he kept turning the river and the sea. Louis closed his eyes. He felt that he was going to explode, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't make a sound.
Shao Ze'an didn't like him, even, probably hated him.
This sentence is like a red-hot iron, scorching his heart fiercely. The heart is the softest part of the human body, and it is also the weakest part of the human body. never speak.
Shao Zelin was also very silent, but there was a time limit for visiting, and he had to ask some questions quickly.
"You've been with Xiao An for a longer time, can you think of the people around him who might be monitoring him?"
Louis looked over, frowning subconsciously, "No one."
Shao Zelin was startled, Louis stretched out his hand and pointed to his head, "No one is monitoring him, and the one monitoring him is in his mind."
Combined with the current level of technology, after a little thought, Shao Zelin understood, his expression became serious, "You mean a monitor?"
Louie spoke slowly and quietly, "In the Death Galaxy, when we first found him, we saw Morris, but he ran away. Later, we searched Morris's laboratory and found a bunch of bombs that were blown up. Equipment, one of which is a machine, no one can see what it is for, it was sent to the Royal Academy after returning, and no research has been done until now."
Louis paused for a second and continued: "Xiao Ann said that he was in the same room as Morris, when he was lying on a metal bed with nothing around him. Looking back now, he should have been monitored by then. , there is a high probability that what he said is also a lie, he should have seen the real face of that machine and know what he was implanted with, that machine should be the thing that implanted the monitor for him."
Shao Zelin's voice became lower, "When we first came back, we checked Xiao An's whole body, and we did everything that could be checked, but we never found out that he had a monitor implanted..."
Listeners are more troublesome than human beings. If they are human, they can be caught and killed, but if they are listeners, the other party can implant such tiny listeners. Who knows if there will be other timings The bomb stayed in Shao Ze'an's body, maybe even Shao Ze'an himself didn't know what was in his body.
Shao Zelin clenched his hands tightly into fists, because he used too much strength, the blood supply to his hands was insufficient, his fingers quickly became cold, and he clenched his fists, he forced himself to relax, then looked at Louis, "What are you going to do next? ."
Louie replied flatly, "Take him to check."
"No way!" Shao Zelin didn't even think about it, "The surface inspection can't find it, and the deep inspection is too dangerous. What if there is a sensing device on the monitor? Besides, how do you take him to check? If it is a monitor, it is very dangerous. Possibly with a voice and echo device, when Xiao An knows about it, the rebels will also know about it!"
Louis looked at Shao Zelin with a cold look, "Do you think I haven't thought about what you said? But only by checking can we find out where the monitor is, and only when we figure it out can we find a way to take it out. The longer that thing stays in his body, the more dangerous it will be, and the longer it drags on, the higher the danger, you should be equally aware of this."
Shao Zelin didn't want to take such a big risk, but he also knew that what Louis said was right, and the room fell silent for a while. After an unknown amount of time, Shao Zelin stood up and it was time to visit.
"The only people who know about this are you and me, and my parents. The three of us will keep the same as before, and won't let Xiao An find anything different, how about you?"
Louis closed his eyes again, and he replied in a deep voice, "Me too."
Shao Zelin looked at him and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a few seconds, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
Obviously, Louis still has feelings for his brother, and his feelings are very deep, so knowing that his brother doesn't like him, he still hasn't given up on him. Just now Shao Zelin wanted to remind him to get out of this one-sided relationship as soon as possible, but he didn't say it when it came to his lips.
Call him selfish or insidious, but the truth is, the more Louis likes his brother, the higher the safety factor for his brother. One is a colleague with little friendship, and the other is a younger brother of a fellow mother. This choice is not difficult to make.
Walking out of the temporary detention room, Shao Zelin took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath.
-Sorry.
…
The adjutant came to Shao's house and told Chi Zhao that Louis would be back tonight. Chi Zhao listened, and immediately returned to the room to pack up his things, ready to go back with the adjutant.
At the gate, Mr. Shao looked at him hesitantly. He didn't even dare to hesitate. After he quickly told his younger son to be safe, he took a deep look at him again, fearing that he would be seen to be true. Feeling of emotion, Mr. Shao hurriedly returned to the house.
Chi Zhao blinked, then looked at the adjutant: "Let's go, did your mission go well this time?"
The order Louis gave the adjutant was that no matter what he asked, the adjutant was not allowed to answer, let alone reveal the slightest information. After being silent for a while, the adjutant said vaguely: "When the admiral comes back, you can ask him yourself."
Chi Zhao glanced at him inexplicably, but still didn't make things difficult for him, "Okay."
The adjutant breathed a sigh of relief. Look, his wife is not as self-willed and difficult as the rumors say, and she is still very talkative.
How could he know, that's because Chi Zhao knew his original fate, and now Chi Zhao is very sympathetic to him. If you put it in a novel, the adjutant is a stepping stone on the protagonist's road to success. Even if you die tragically, you have to be tortured enough and then die tragically, which is simply tragic.
Chi Zhao was very sighed, and the system was too hard to describe.
[…Host, don’t you think that you are the most tragic cannon fodder compared to the adjutant? The adjutant was only tortured for a month, but you were tortured for four years. The worst thing is that the adjutant goes to the tomb of the martyrs after his death. After you die, you don't leave a hair behind. Even if you leave it, you will be spat on every day.]
Chi Zhao: "..." That makes sense.
