Chapter 60
He Qin's character is straightforward and somewhat impulsive.
The enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light. He has been attacked and assassinated many times, so he can no longer swallow his anger.
In today's situation, He Qin did not think that Wood Hill must be the mastermind behind the scenes. He just wanted to find out the truth directly because he was too lazy to beat around the bush.
The nobles of each race are not simple, and the powerful ones among them are even more so. They either have some means or some schemes. He Qin just thought that Wood, who was warned by Lin Bo, was good at scheming, was not a big problem.
Now it seems that Wood has something to do with those things.
"Wood, I'm just asking, why is the reaction so big?" He Qin's question just now was a bit joking, but now it is very serious.
Wood realized that he was overreacting. "No, I was just a little surprised. How could you think of me, Green? How could I, your cousin, who has the same blood as you, harm you?" The result of a guilty conscience was that this explanation was too stiff.
"You really have nothing to do with those things?" He Qin released his mental power like he did with Qi Lun, trying to check Wood's heartbeat.
But Wood's whole body was covered by a protective shield, and he couldn't find any loopholes.
This was even more suspicious.
"Do you know why I went to Qi's house? I went to ask him about the mastermind. So, Wood, guess whether he told me?" He Qin decided to use a trick to set a trap for Wood. A
person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. If he had not done those things, it would be the best.
Wood Hill couldn't keep calm. When he heard He Qin's direct question, his head suddenly became hot and he couldn't think calmly. "I don't know this." He couldn't hide his guilt in his words.
Circumventing the topic was Wood's way of avoiding the question.
"Mr. Qi Lun was very cooperative. Before you arrived, he just said the name of the person behind him."
He Qin smiled. He noticed that the corner of Wood's mouth twitched quickly.
In the Earth Army, psychology is a required course for the soldiers of the Fifth Division. He Qin also has a good grasp of micro-expressions.
Wood's eyes were erratic, and he touched his nose several times while talking, which meant that he wanted to cover up something.
He Qin decided to increase the gamble. Success or failure depends on this.
"According to Mr. Qi Lun, the assassinations and espionages were all ordered by you. He was just a scapegoat."
The atmosphere in the room was very strange. Both male insects had a tense feeling as if an arrow was on the string and was about to be launched.
"What kind of joke is this?" Wood moved his hand to his back. "This is a frame-up. Qi Lun is notorious. He wants to frame me."
Wood will not admit it easily. Once he lets it go, the power and mass base he has built up over the years will collapse in an instant.
"Oh, is that so?" He Qin raised his eyebrows, full of confidence, and opened the cloud to the recording interface, and a clear picture was projected into the air, "Fortunately, I prepared in advance. This is the recording that Qi Lun personally pointed out. Why don't we contact the chief now and play the recording in front of him?"
Wood was visibly nervous, and the smile he used to pretend disappeared. A gloomy look climbed onto his face, and his eyes stared straight at He Qin.
At this time, He Qin did an amazing thing. He put his hand on the play button and pressed it down, and a clear conversation came.
"Who is the person behind the scenes?" This was He Qin's voice.
Then, Qi Lun's nervous answer was also played, "He, he is also a member of the royal family, he is..."
Before the recording was finished, the man angrily pulled out his weapon and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at He Qin's head.
Without any extra words, Wood fired several shots in a row without hesitation.
After all, he was still a male insect with a coquettish habit. The recoil of the laser gun was a bit strong. The moment the bullet was fired, Wood was also shocked and stepped back a few steps.
Unfortunately, in He Qin's eyes, the movement trajectory of the bullet was clear.
He tilted his head slightly and moved his arm, and the laser bullet passed over his face and shot into the wall behind him. The walls of this room are all made of soundproof material, and bullets can only make a muffled sound when they enter.
Looking at He Qin's side, there is not even a scratch.
"Your Highness Wood, you are still too impatient." He Qin said, and played the recording again.
"He just...hiss...ding..." This is the end of the recording.
It turned out that Qi Lun couldn't finish speaking, and He Qin didn't record Qi Lun's words pointing out that it was him.
He was fooled!
"Green, you really like to joke with your cousin. Now, you still have no direct evidence to prove that I want to kill you."
As long as he holds his tongue and refuses to admit it, the chief and the government will not be able to sentence him to death.
"You seem to have missed something." He Qin turned his head to the corner of the room and raised his chin, "My Reese is still in the room."
The situation was so tense that Wood forgot the existence of the third insect in the room.
However, why did the female insect, who put the male's life safety first, not stop him when he shot at He Qin?
Wood thought of something, his eyes widened, and pointed at He Qin, "You..."
"Yes, Reese has recorded the scene of you shooting me."
After saying that, at the instruction of the male insect, Reese raised the cloud in his hand and showed the video to Wood carelessly.
Reese also took out his weapon and pointed it at the male insect's head. He Qin then asked, "Wood, I have no grudge against you, why do you have to kill me?"
"Oh, do you think the return of a male insect who truly inherited royal blood will not have an impact on my power?" Things have come to this point, Wood laughed and was too lazy to even disguise himself.
"Just because of this?"
"I, Wood Hill, have received orthodox royal education since I was a child. I don't know how much suffering I have endured before I succeeded in making people recognize that I represent the imperial family. You, a lucky male insect who returned from outer space, can't take away everything from me like this." Wood was like a mental breakdown, shouting hysterically at He Qin.
He Qin had never thought about fighting for power, but having power is the original sin, and there will always be insects like Wood who will judge others by their own standards.
"Come on, take His Highness Green and Major General Reese away and keep them under guard." Wood was too lazy to continue explaining and shouted out the door.
Wood had already prepared a private guard outside the door. He gave an order and dozens of fully equipped female insect guards surrounded the door.
"Are you going to put us under house arrest?" He Qin remained calm and exchanged glances with Reese. Reese received the hint and silently sent a message in the dark.
At the same time, the guards outside the door obeyed the orders of their highness and surrounded He Qin with weapons in hand.
It seemed that Wood had been prepared for this.
"After all, you are still my cousin. Please stay in the room first, Green. Don't worry, when I successfully succeed as the chief of the empire, you will be able to come and go freely." Wood waved his hand, and the guards pointed their weapons at He Qin at the same time.
Wood didn't want to hurt the little male insect for the time being. He was just worried that He Qin's appearance would affect his bid for the position of chief.
After he took over, He Qin would be just a royal prince in name only. It would be up to him to decide how to deal with him.
Wood had checked He Qin's information and knew that he was not an ordinary weak male insect.
Therefore, he personally selected dozens of private soldiers to participate in the mission. All the soldiers were female insects with the best comprehensive strength in the empire.
"Oh? Do you think these twenty-odd soldiers can stop us?"
Contrary to his usual behavior, in the investigation report, He Qin, who was easily impulsive and very confident in his strength, did not drag Reese out to fight, but still crossed his arms and looked confident.
"Green really hasn't seen the fighting power of my private soldiers. Why don't you try it?"
He didn't believe that only one male insect and one female insect could escape from the heavy encirclement.
If they couldn't be caught alive, they could just be shot on the spot.
Wood's ruthlessness and decisiveness were also important reasons for his successful control of the royal private soldiers.
It was just that under his deliberate concealment, the imperial insects only thought that he was a graceful male insect with great talent in politics.
"I thought you were one of my closest family members, but I thought too much." He Qin sighed, a hint of pity flashed across his eyes, and then he pursed his chin towards Reese.
"Wood has repeatedly planned to kill the royal bloodline and male insect eggs. You all heard it!"
Who is he calling?
Wood looked around and did not find the figures of other insects.
After a while, a burst of laser guns came from downstairs. His competitor, Patton Walker, followed by a hundred female insect soldiers, walked into the room with his head held high.
"Your Highness Wood, your conversation has been synchronized to the Chief in real time. Please come with me."
"Patton Walker!" Wood no longer had the royal demeanor, and gritted his teeth and shouted the male insect's name.
"Major General Reese is still thoughtful. As early as Wood rushed into the Qi family villa, he asked the soldiers to bring me the news." Patton threw a mocking look at his current subordinate, "Otherwise, the Chief would not know that the kind-hearted His Highness Wood is such a villain."
Once this incident happened, Wood Hill would completely lose his eligibility to run for election, and he might even lose his life.
He Qin had already sent someone to tell him privately that he would not participate in the election for the position of Chief, and just wanted to live a normal life with his family in peace.
Judging from the current situation, the person who will successfully obtain this important position in the chief handover ceremony two months later must be Patton of the Walker family.
"Bring His Highness Wood to the chief and listen to the chief's decision."
"Yes."
From today on, Wood Hill will no longer be the representative of the royal male insect. The victorious king defeats the enemy, and the era of Wood has come to an end in the empire.
He Qin did not expect that this would lead to a bigger conspiracy.
