Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Me? Going to the military zone? Eating bullets...
Is Amu any use?
It was so funny. I never paid attention to anything other than Amu's wallet, so I was surprised to hear from Ali that Amu was a useful talent for the organization.
This level of surprise was no less than seeing Ali lecturing in a university classroom; absurd yet, in a way, quite natural. What if Ali was teaching how to kill people?
So what Amu taught on the podium was also killing...
Ali said, "He can go to the military zone with you."
I nodded. "Oh, so you can go to the military zone with me... Damn, why would I want to go to the military zone?"
"They asked you to go. You're part of the upcoming plan. As long as you succeed, you can become the vice-president when you come back."
I was furious, my hands shaking as I pointed at Ali's nose. "This isn't a matter of being the vice president! This is a matter of my life! Why would a senator like me go to a military zone? Go to the front lines and get shot? You wouldn't be able to collect all the bodies for me!"
A Mu frowned in disapproval. "Bai Wuyin is a cowardly scumbag. If you let her go, she'll be shot as a deserter in two days."
"...Amu, are you speaking for me?" I said, my face completely bewildered. "After all, I'm the senator and Carter's adopted daughter-in-law. They won't shoot me, will they?"
Just as Amu and I looked at each other, Ali opened her mouth and then forgot the words.
She then pulled the small note from her pocket, glanced through it quickly, and said, "Tomorrow morning, the news of Kathryn's disappearance in the military zone will be out."
Watching Ali opening and closing her mouth and reciting a string of cold words, I suddenly felt like I was having a myocardial infarction.
How many days have I been a senator? Not even a day has passed, and I have to face the fact that my supporters are running away?
Didn't Cutler promote me to the Senate just to pave the way for Cassina? Now that Cassina is missing, how can she have time for me?
Judging from the speed at which the gossip reporters in Shangxing City spread gossip, rumors of Cassina's disappearance tomorrow morning and her death tomorrow evening will be fabricated. After a few days of fermentation, even if Cassina is not dead, she will be nailed to death!
Unless Carter gives up and puts his focus on me, I will be trapped by others before I reach a higher level.
"Hiss—" Thinking of that possibility, I took a deep breath, my chest felt tight as if I was suffocating to death due to lack of oxygen. "Who did it? Ansa? How could he be so powerful as to kidnap a high-ranking military officer?"
Ali didn't even look at me and continued reading her script, "It wasn't Angsa who did it."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "So it was the organization that did it. That's fine then..."
Ali continued, "They said they wanted everyone to suspect you were the one who did it."
Me: "...Actually, I'm Rolatini's illegitimate daughter, right? Otherwise, why would she, a Pope, want to kill me? Shouldn't this be called an honor killing?"
Ali put the note away and blinked at me with a dull look. "They said you know what to do."
"Damn it! I know what to do and I just have to accept it? You guys are teaming up to get me together, right?" I was so defensive that I jumped up and down, and even blurted out something to ask Amu to go up and fight with Ali.
But it was obvious that Ali was a simple-minded monster with strong limbs. She kicked Amu down in a few moves and continued to look at me, "So what are you doing?"
"I won't do it!" I refused sternly.
Ali: "They said that the organization will give you a bonus, including reimbursement of the 10,010 yuan they owe me."
"I'll do it." I perked up immediately. "This isn't a question of morality or the rule of law. You know me, I'm always greedy for money. If you had told me there was money to be made earlier, wouldn't you have agreed sooner?"
I stepped forward and put my hand on Ali's shoulder with a serious and sincere expression. "Ali, from now on, tell me how much money you want me to do first, then what I want you to do. Do you understand?"
Ali seemed to understand but nodded obediently, "Okay."
I struck while the iron was hot, "Next time, please don't climb in through the window when I'm having sex with someone, okay?"
Ali frowned: "Then when will you stop messing around?"
Ah, you asked the wrong person.
When will I stop messing around? This is a serious question, but since you've asked, I definitely have to answer. However, this answer will take some time. Don't ask me when that will be.
After sending Ali away, I always felt that something was missing, and it was very important.
According to the organization's nature, if they arrange for Cassina to disappear tomorrow morning, something will happen tonight.
"What are you thinking about?" Amu asked me curiously when he saw that I was frowning.
Apart from a few sarcastic remarks at the beginning, he did not express any aversion to the organization's arrangements. Instead, he began to think about the preparations he needed to make for going to the military zone, and took out a notebook to write and draw.
I didn't answer Amu, but held the communicator, waiting for unknown news in an inexplicable state of anxiety.
The alarm clock on the wall started to ring, and when it stopped at eleven o'clock in the evening, I finally received the message that made me inexplicably anxious.
"At 10:37 pm on August 17, the President of the Senate was found dead in his study at home. Preliminary police investigations have confirmed that the case was stabbed."
I exhaled sharply, "Sure enough."
Amu also saw the message from my communicator and looked even more puzzled. "What do you mean? Can you stop playing tricks on me?"
I had nothing to hide from Amu, so I said, "The organization's original plan has been disrupted. To ensure that the next plan is not disrupted, we are speeding up the process at the risk of being exposed."
"What's the meaning?"
I found a comfortable seat and sat down. While chatting with Carter, I went over the information I knew in my head and expressed my guess. "It must be that Ansa did something big, which almost made the people of Ascend City notice the person the organization had planted. Lolatini... is the leader. She must have noticed the problem before the 15th, so she recalled Fansu from the military zone to protect her. And the disappearance of Kasena was to divert the attention of the people of Ascend City, so that Ascend City would not have time to deal with the organization's problems in the short term, giving the organization more time to hide."
"It was Fansu who assassinated the Senate President. Ali said that as long as I return safely from the military zone, I can take over the position of Vice President. This means that Fansu is not going to take the ordinary path, but will go to extremes."
The more Amu listened, the more confused he became. "That's not right, right? With the Senate President dead, wouldn't the Vice President just take over directly? Could it be that Fan Su wants to put the blame on the Vice President?"
"No, she wants to drag the other two senators into this," I explained patiently. "The Vice President is the least likely suspect. She can take office in just another month. Why would she kill someone for no reason? The smart people in Ascending City love to speculate wildly. Right now, everyone is suspecting Fan Su and other senators who are likely to run for Vice President."
Maybe because I had to take Amu to the military zone to suffer as a scapegoat, I was surprisingly patient at the moment. It was incredible.
Looking at Amu's face, which seemed to pretend to understand even though he didn't, my thoughts drifted back to the time when we were mining in the no-man's land. Okay, let's not get lost in the memories. There's nothing interesting there.
"I still don't understand what the assassination of the dean has to do with your going to the military zone." A Mu asked.
"If Kasena disappears or dies, Carter will lose his heir. Kanoka is a useless omega, so to ensure her previous efforts are not in vain, she has no choice but to focus on cultivating me. So from another perspective, I am the biggest beneficiary. To prove my innocence, I must take the initiative to investigate." I said, "Also, a move as big as Fansu carries a high risk of exposure. In order to minimize the risk and protect as many members of the organization as possible, transferring me to the military area will actually free up their hands and feet."
"...Okay." Amu struggled to wrap his mind around it, then turned his head away in grievance. "Who goes to college anyway? These schools don't teach this. It's better not to go to school."
My thoughts were interrupted by his sudden little emotion and I fell into silence.
Forget it, alpha men have such a strong self-esteem, just give him some space.
I took a deep breath and ended my communication with Cutler. I said, "Now we'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning. I can't stop them from doing anything. I won't know what I'm going to do in the military zone until I get there."
The most important thing is how can I protect myself from Ansa. If he knew I went to the military zone, he would definitely try every possible way to get me, maybe even use some despicable means to make me fake my death and force me to transform into an organic being.
Thinking of the two glandular hatreds between him and me, I suddenly felt a chill in my tailbone.
Hey, don’t think about it. Normal people can’t understand perverts.
So it’s normal that I can’t figure out Angsa’s methods.
"Let's go to sleep first." I said to Amu.
At six o'clock the next day, I had just opened my eyes when the door was opened by Kanoka from the outside.
He first pointed out the various decorations in my room with skill, and instructed Xiaolin to take note of them and replace them with something that suited his taste. Then he came to my closet, opened it and started to choose clothes to wear today.
I admit that although Kanoka is often stupid and refreshing, he is proficient in the skills mastered by omegas and even uses them with ease.
"You're so annoying." He watched me brushing my teeth and washing up leisurely, and for some reason he started to lose his temper again. "This is the first time you and I have appeared on camera together, can't you take it seriously? People at the bottom are people at the bottom. I'm so annoyed by you."
Amu had also woken up at this time. Hearing Kanoka's picky words, he rolled his eyes and said, "No match for you omegas. You make a fuss over the little things."
"Are you talking about me?" Kanoka frowned, his face full of displeasure. "If you weren't Brother Bai Wuyong, do you think you'd be qualified to attend the coronation ceremony? You should be grateful to me!"
I ignored their quarrel and continued to look through the communicator.
After a night of fermentation, major media outlets have made eight hundred speculations about the culprit behind the assassination of the Senate President.
But Fan Su is a professional "cleaner". After one night, the police not only did not find any valid evidence at the scene, but also had to find time to appease the dean's omega spouse who was 25 years younger than him, as well as appease the various reporters who rushed to report.
Looking at the public opinion in major media, I can already foresee what kind of situation the news of Cassina's disappearance will cause the entire Upward City to fall into.
The death of a retiring Senate president could only be described as a political struggle within Shangxing City. But if the deceased was the eldest daughter of a regimental commander, or a high-ranking officer in a military zone, then the nature of the matter would be completely different.
Everyone will become worried and anxious, wondering whether the rebels have infiltrated the Ascending City, or whether there is some other shocking conspiracy.
