Chapter 194 was exposed.
After dinner that night, Simon took the initiative to find Lu Xia: "Do you have time tonight? I want to talk to you alone about something."
Lu Xia's heart skipped a beat. She had a hunch about what Simon was going to tell her, but she didn't expect that he would find out so quickly.
She nodded, stood up and said, "Come with me to the study."
Watching the two of them leave, Cecil looked at Smelian in confusion: "What does Simon want to talk to my sister about?"
Smelian shook his head: "He didn't tell me just now, how should I know?"
Cecil gritted his back teeth: "This guy, I always feel that he is taking every opportunity to get close to my sister."
Hearing this, Smelian glanced at him indifferently, and his silent eyes seemed to say, "Aren't you the same? We are all thousand-year-old foxes. What are you playing here? Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio."
Cecil didn't seem to feel the sarcasm in Smelian's eyes. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip unhappily, then pouted and said, "I'll go back to my room first, you eat slowly."
Smelian had actually finished eating a long time ago. After Cecil left, he didn't sit for long and went to the garden.
The roses in the garden have bloomed again these days, and they are so beautiful that they are about to burst into bloom. It just rained again, so Smelian picked a few and planned to take them back to the room and put them in a vase, thinking that
he would give them to Lu Xia later, and she would definitely like them. At this time, in the study, Simon took the black tea that Lu Xia poured for him and held it in his palm.
"Your Excellency the Duke should know what I am going to say, right?"
Lu Xia did not say anything else, but asked directly: "Have you found any results from your investigation?"
Simon nodded: "Thanks to you for giving me the direction, some evidence does show that Grace should be in the Alliance Army."
He did not use "rebel army" to define Grace's current situation and identity, but used the three words "Alliance Army", which inevitably made Lu Xia look at him.
Hearing this result, Lu Xia was not so surprised. Recalling the abnormalities of Grace before she left, it seemed that she had the answer at this moment.
She just didn't know why Grace chose to take such a path. As a major general of the first military district of the empire, he should know very well that this is a road with no turning back, but he still walked up without hesitation. What exactly was the reason that she cared about.
Seeing Lu Xia silent, Simon asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Simon paused slightly, rubbed his fingers on the wall of the teacup, and said hesitantly, "The investigation also showed that Smellian and Cecil were both in contact with him."
This answer surprised Lu Xia. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Simon, "Are you sure?"
"There are some clues pointing to it, but they can't be guaranteed to be true. It may also be that our investigation is in the wrong direction."
Simon didn't say it for sure, but Lu Xia knew that if there was no certain evidence, Simon would not say so. So did Smellian and Cecil really keep it a secret from her about their contact with Grace?
"Well, these three guys are really..."
Lu Xia didn't know how to evaluate it for a while. She was still a little angry, but because she knew their personalities, she didn't think they would do anything to hurt her. On the contrary, she didn't feel any fear.
She looked at Simon and nodded, "I see. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, after the gene fusion degree is improved, you can choose a gene you want. I believe this is not difficult for you."
After all, Simon has successfully found two alien genes for her, and it is probably only a matter of time to find the third one.
"Okay, I will pay more attention."
Simon didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity.
"After you go out, call Cecil in."
Simon knew that she might want to get the answer she wanted from Cecil.
Thinking of Cecil's character, Simon glanced at Lu Xia. It was obvious that Lu Xia knew their personalities very well and who would have a better chance of breaking through.
Not long after he went out, Cecil came in happily from outside.
"Sister, you are looking for me?"
He was very happy that Lu Xia took the initiative to find him.
He leaned over and sat directly next to Lu Xia with a smile on his face. Lu Xia looked at him: "Cecil, do you have anything to say to me?"
Cecil was slightly stunned: "What, sister, I don't understand what this means?"
He thought about it carefully and it seemed that he didn't have anything to say to Lu Xia.
"Then let me remind you, Grace, do you have any deal between you?"
Suddenly hearing the three words "Grace", Cecil's smile suddenly froze. Obviously, he didn't expect Lu Xia to call him in for this matter.
So what did Lu Xia know? How much did she know? How did she know? Did Simon tell her?
At this moment, Cecil's mind was flooded with many thoughts, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, his throat was dry, and he looked at Lu Xia with trepidation.
His emotions were obvious, and Lu Xia knew it with just one look.
"Don't want to say it, or can't say it?"
Lu Xia's voice was still gentle, as if she didn't blame him for this matter, but because of this, Cecil's sense of crisis in his heart became even greater.
He pursed his lips: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's better for you not to know about this."
He knew very well that if he continued to choose to conceal it at this time, it would only make the situation worse.
"Then you admit that you have a connection with Grace, right?"
Cecil nodded: "Yes, there is a connection between him and me, but our original intention is for your own good."
"For my own good?" Lu Xia snorted. "Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Cecil bit his lip and said, "Grace doesn't want you to continue to be suppressed by Her Majesty the Queen and endure those grievances, so he chose to open up a new path. I think he is right. Smellian thinks so too, so the three of us are in contact. But don't worry, sister, we have never done anything that goes against the people or breaks the bottom line. We just want to change everything."
Seeing him say this, Lu Xia said, "Since there is also Smellian's matter here, you can call him in too."
Soon, Smellian An appeared in the study. Cecil had just found him and briefly explained everything. Looking at Lu Xia at this time, Smelian's expression was not as calm as usual. He spoke first: "Xia Xia, if you are angry, you can punish us, but don't hurt yourself."
Lu Xia looked at him: "Who said I'm angry, there's nothing wrong with my body, don't worry. Do you two want to explain everything now, or should I go and ask Grace myself?"
Cecil looked at Smelian, but Smelian did not respond to him. Instead, he said: "Xia Xia, whatever you want to know, we will tell you."
Cecil also nodded vigorously, indicating that he thought so too.
