There was no way, in the eyes of others, it was impossible for Xiaobai to climb over the wall and run into the room on his own. The blame for this could only be firmly placed on Wayne's back.
However, in fact, he did the right thing...
He didn't know what he was thinking of again, and even Chris looked at him with a strange expression.
Wayne nudged her angrily, "Don't think about random things."
Chris immediately hit him back unconvinced.
"You're not me! How do you know if I'm thinking about some random things..."
The two people here were joking around, but Duke Elliot, who was seated last, had a solemn expression and his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
Probably sensing that the atmosphere at the table was not quite right, Chris finally gave up after giving Wayne a hard squeeze, and turned into a caring little cotton-padded jacket: "Dad! Today's soup is very good." It’s delicious, I’ll get you a bowl~”
She got up and started working very diligently.
"Well..." Elliot came to his senses and looked at the family sitting around the table again.
"Get down, maids," he said.
Generally speaking, this sentence means that he has something very important to explain.
The servants of the Wenche family have always been well-trained, and the only few maids present did not behave at all when they heard the order. Instead, they took a few steps back gracefully and lined up.
The heavy door of the restaurant was shut tightly.
When the indoor structure was first built, security and confidentiality were specifically considered to ensure that conversations at critical moments would never be leaked.
Affected by Elliot's attitude, Wayne's expression unconsciously became more formal.
——Did something else happen?
"The commander-in-chief of the city guard, Bulwer, was imprisoned for intentional murder." Elliot told a shocking piece of news.
Wayne:? ? ?
"How could it be? When did this happen?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Just last night... the king temporarily blocked the news, but this matter is no longer a secret among the top brass."
Even though his favorite daughter filled the soup and handed it to him, Elliot just put it aside and was not in the mood to eat.
Chrissy didn't know much about Bulwer, and she couldn't help but look confused in surprise.
"Is that commander close to our family?"
"No, it's not us who are closely related to him, but..." Before he finished speaking, Elliot shook his head.
"This matter has been basically confirmed. There were many witnesses at the scene. Bulwer broke into the house privately and went crazy, killing innocent people by force."
"The victims are a family of three, parents and daughter. However, their identities are a bit special. They are cousins of Earl Chapman."
Upon hearing this relationship, Wayne's eyes narrowed.
Bulwer also has another identity, he is the officer in charge of the Chapman Incident Investigation Team!
"Chapman lost his father when he was young, and was even fostered into the cousin's house for a period of time. But later he successfully inherited the title of earl, and that less-than-glorious experience was forgotten."
Elliot sighed, "Although it can be said that he was raised...but the cousin's family had already declined. Chapman probably didn't think it was a pleasant experience at the time, so the two parties had almost no contact after that."
"As for why Bulwer wanted to kill that family, the inside story is still unclear."
He guessed: "Maybe it's because some secrets have been discovered?"
But then he immediately denied the possibility himself.
"No, no... doing this will only make Bulwer rational and unclear."
After understanding these situations, Wayne also found it a bit puzzling.
It stands to reason that Bulwer should be on the side of His Majesty the King in principle.
According to his previous conjecture, the king should have specifically put Bulwer in charge of this matter in order to protect Chapman. After all, there is conclusive evidence that Bulwer accepted bribes from Chapman, and he was also one of the protective umbrellas behind Chapman.
But the reality is obviously not going in the direction he thought.
Did you guess wrong?
But if Bulwer really intends to investigate this matter thoroughly, and that family is the key clue he traces, then he shouldn't kill the witness directly...
Even if Chapman himself is killed, it may be much better than the current situation.
On the other hand, the king's reaction is also very thought-provoking.
Is it to protect Bulwer by locking him up and keeping him away from the outside world?
Or should he be punished immediately because he disobeyed his orders?
Wayne didn't think Bulwer was a person who acted recklessly when he was hot-headed, so he couldn't figure out why Bulwer would do such a thing in such a big way.
Elliot also couldn't figure it out, so he just sighed in distress.
"In short, there is something obviously unreasonable about this matter," he said.
"——Unreasonable means being manipulated."
Upon hearing this, Wayne was slightly startled.
"The situation has become more complicated, and our family must be prepared." It can be seen that the latter part is what he really wanted to warn this morning.
"Wayne, Chris, you two should stop causing trouble in the academy these days, and go home as early as possible after school to avoid any accidents." Elliot frowned, "From today on, I will send Hall The butler will bring you to pick you up."
"I know, I know."
Chris pouted unhappily.
He obviously called out two people's names at the beginning, but they kept staring at him when he said these words. Wasn't it just that he didn't mention them by name?
Although I understand that my father is also thinking about his own safety, he still feels a little uncomfortable with his distrustful attitude.
Besides, what does it mean to cause trouble everywhere? How can I cause trouble...
Wayne on the side cooperated very eloquently: "I will also protect Chris well."
So Elliot nodded.
"It's also important to protect yourself."
…
at the same time.
Lowns Palace.
George II had already lost his temper, but now he still felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
It made him restless and unable to sit or lie down at ease.
He walked around the palace after almost no sleep all night, but the magnificent furnishings around him only made him more manic.
Obviously they are all chosen according to their own wishes, but why are they all useless trash!
The longer I stay in this place, the more I have the urge to smash all these rubbish.
No...you can't let those rubbish affect your sanity and wisdom.
As a king, he must maintain supreme dignity and calmness.
After closing his eyes and adjusting for a while, George II walked out.
