Chapter 305: Selfishness is Hard to Predict
The final plan was simple. Edrien and Qi Mohan left for the palace together, while the rest of them stayed in the hospital waiting for news.
Pei Du secretly installed tracking devices and surveillance cameras on both of them to ensure that they could remotely monitor the movements of the palace.
Adrian tied all the ropes used to escort Qi Mohan into a knot. He changed into a pure black suit and even used hairspray to fix his hairstyle before leaving.
Qi Mohan leaned against the wall, not knowing what he was thinking. His eyes kept glancing at Edrien, and he couldn't help but say, "Hurry up, how long are you going to keep dawdling like this?"
Edrien had just polished his leather shoes until they were spotless. Hearing this, he glanced at Qi Mohan and said in an unclear tone, "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to see His Majesty in the palace so badly?"
"I'm not in a hurry to see Your Majesty. I just want to survive. After all, it's not in a good situation now. Who knows, it may be scrapped someday." Qi Mohan said in a calm voice.
Adrian stood up and said, "You sound very knowledgeable. Do you know where Goujue Tousheng is?"
"I don't know." Qi Mohan said, and then he tilted his eyes towards Adrien. "You have such a good relationship with him, but he didn't tell you where he was going, so I have no idea."
"How can our relationship with him be good? It's just so-so." Adrian sneered. He had a feeling that Qi Mohan was not a good person, so he just casually said, "Okay, okay, I'm ready. What do you say?"
Qi Mohan was also very decisive. He punched himself twice in front of Adrian. After two "bang" sounds, blood immediately flowed from his nose.
"This body can't take a beating, this is the best it can do." Qi Mohan said vaguely with his eyes half swollen.
Adrian: “…”
He glanced at Qi Mohan's left face, which had turned purple, and handcuffed his hands: "Actually, you don't have to do this. I don't really mean to hit you... Let's go."
Qi Mohan: “…”
Adrian took Qi Mohan into the black car prepared outside. He glanced at the driver in front and gestured to him.
Shen Yu received the signal, he lowered his military cap and stepped on the accelerator.
The place where they were now was not far from the palace. After about twenty minutes' journey, the black car stopped in the dense forest not far from the palace.
Edrian escorted Qi Mohan out of the car. He took out the fake ID he had prepared and walked towards the guard at the door with a clear purpose: "This is the pass given by His Majesty, the first-level alert mission."
The guards took the documents and checked them. They could recognize Qi Mohan's appearance, so they voluntarily made way after receiving instructions from their superiors.
"Come in."
Seeing this, Edrien secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He followed the soldier leading the team in front of him and arrived at the door of the palace without any obstruction.
There seemed to be no guards or sentries in this huge palace. Edrien looked around on the way here. Apart from a few soldiers standing in the shadows, there were no other people who could resist the foreign enemies.
Edrien frowned slightly. He had surrounded the Zerg palace with a lot of female soldiers for protection, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yanshu's palace was so loose, like an empty city.
The further we went inside, the fewer people there were, and there was no one guarding the main hall.
It took Edrian little effort to enter the hall. The Mermaid King sitting at the top of the hall was obviously not as particular as Edrian. He wore a half-gold mask on his face and only a simple black robe on his body. Perhaps the robe was too big and it dragged on the ground.
He had set his sights on Edrien from the moment he entered the hall.
"…Edrien?"
Edrien had just finished kneeling down. He secretly looked at the Mermaid King above him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am Edrien."
Zhou Yanshu said no more. His silver eyes were cold under the mask. The only exposed lower half of his face was abnormally pale, and even his lips were completely bloodless.
He stared at Edrien motionlessly, from his half-curled white hair to his bright golden eyes.
"Your Majesty, I found Qi Mohan in the suburban area and captured him after a fight." Seeing that Zhou Yanshu did not ask anything about Qi Mohan, Edrien had to speak himself.
Zhou Yanshu just glanced at Qi Mohan and didn't care.
Edrien talked for a while. He found that Zhou Yanshu didn't care about Qi Mohan at all, so he said, "Your Majesty, I came here this time because someone asked me to do so. I wonder if you have heard of Gouqiutousheng..."
Zhou Yanshu stopped folding his sleeves, looked up at Edrien, and said slowly, "How about trying to survive?"
"That's right, just live a miserable life." Edrien was just testing the waters at first, but when he saw Zhou Yanshu's expression change slightly, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Gouqiu Tousheng had previously said that Zhou Yanshu was his lover, and now it seems that it was true.
"He told me to come to you if I got into trouble, and I..."
"Heh... come to me when you encounter difficulties, this is your refugee camp?" Zhou Yanshu laughed twice inexplicably, frowned, and said in annoyance, "Get lost."
Adrian: “…”
"Uh, that's not what I meant. Your Majesty, Xiao Gou Gou actually asked us to help you. I know you are injured now. I have a friend who knows a lot about medicine..."
Adrian changed his tone instantly, but before he could finish his words, someone approached him from behind and grabbed his back, forcing him to half-kneel on the ground.
Adrian: “…”
Zhou Yanshu didn't want to hear any more nonsense from him. He waved his hand towards Yu Xiangwan and said, "Lock him up first."
"yes."
Yu Xiangwan's expression was cold. He grabbed Edrien and glanced at Qi Mohan beside him. "Your Majesty, how do you deal with him?"
"Killed."
Zhou Yanshu frowned, and his face beneath the mask revealed a hint of coldness and depression for no reason.
Yu Xiangwan was about to take Qi Mohan away with him when he heard the order. Qi Mohan moved the handcuffs on his hands, and suddenly narrowed his swollen purple eyes and said, "Host, we haven't seen each other for a while... Don't you recognize me?"
Zhou Yanshu paused and looked at Qi Mohan. Qi Mohan looked at him with a smile on his face, but in his pupils, layers of gray data quickly emerged that only Zhou Yanshu could see.
...strategy system.
Zhou Yanshu sneered and said slowly, "No need, Qi Mohan will stay for now and take Adrien away."
Yu Xiangwan stood there for a few seconds, then turned around and said, "Yes."
After a few chaotic footsteps, Yu Xiangwan and Adrian disappeared at the door together.
Zhou Yanshu moved his gaze downward, stared at Qi Mohan and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and help you." Qi Mohan stood up from the ground, he struggled to get rid of the ropes and handcuffs on his hands, and his eyes moved slowly from Zhou Yanshu to him, "You...how come you have lost so much weight?"
