Chapter 182: The Elder Forced the Palace
(Not caught bugs, subscribe later.) )
Three hours later, Hibiscus took the elevator all the way to the top of the building. Walking into your own office room, one word is spacious and bright. The smell of ink and the smell of paper and plants wafted through the house.
The interior of the house is simple and quaint, but the wolf's head on the wall and the saber on the knife holder on the table add a bit of toughness and gore to the room.
Although there are some things that she doesn't like, most of them are still very much to her liking.
After accompanying Duanmu Hibiscus to walk around the rooms where several rooms were opened: "Little Miss, if you want to modify the room, you can hand it over to your subordinates." ”
"Not for now. You go out first, and I'll be there later. ”
"Yes. Aiyi immediately bowed and withdrew.
A crack appeared on his calm face just now, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
Through the contact with the five people just now, Duanmu Hibiscus understood one thing from their conversation. The five of them are the right-hand men of the new generation that Admiral Duanmu has cultivated for the next person in power.
Indeed, the Admiral has a very good eye for people, and these people currently agree with her existence. And it's in the same boat with yourself.
But they were not the only ones in the darkness, but there were also eight elders in addition to the five of them. The five right-hand men actually belong to Duanmu Hibiscus's side, and the elder is actually the executor of the task, and it is also the place where Duanmu Hibiscus whip can't grow. It is also the largest part of the dark that is most difficult to manage.
It's a bit like the imperial system of the predecessors. The emperor is supreme, but if any of the links are unstable, the throne will be in jeopardy.
And the words of the five right-hand men also hinted that because of the sudden accident of the general, the elders had already behaved strangely. The elders with monstrous ambitions have begun to raise funds to support the children of the Duanmu family as puppets. However, the premise is that Duanmu Hibiscus himself is not willing to be an obedient puppet.
Disobedient puppets have only one result, death.
"Puppet?" even if I haven't seen it in person, I know from so many ancient histories in my previous life that puppets are not easy to do. She was reborn as a hibiscus, and as a new youth in the 21st century, she couldn't come to a new space to be a puppet.
Fortunately, Eye One knew that it was powerful, and he had already recruited several other almighty people back. The admiral had already made preparations, and the only people who knew Duanmu Hibiscus were now.
"Those who go along prosper, and those who go against die. If you want me to be a puppet so much. Then I can only let you taste the punishment of those with bad intentions. ”
Duanmu Hibiscus suddenly wanted to take a puff of cigarette and rummaged through the drawer for a while. I only found cigars that resembled those I had seen in my previous life. I knew that this kind of thing was not easy to smoke, but I still pinched one, lit it with several lighters in it, and sucked it up.
The first bite made Duanmu hibiscus doze off again and again, but he got used to it. In the next second, with tears in his body, he leaned back on the leather chair and looked at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
At the top, people are only an arm's length away from the white clouds in the sky. The white clouds glimpsed freely across the blue sky, as if you could smell the sunshine and hear the song of the wind.
With a cigar between her slender white fingers, she looked at the city under the floor-to-ceiling windows. I can't help but feel refreshed. Full of pride.
Take a sip of a fragrant cigar. The expression on Duanmu's face was submerged in the shadow of the sun. I saw this scene when I pushed the door in. His eyes were full of surprise.
This kind of appearance is actually not common in the old master. The old master has the blood of a soldier, but he does not have the evil that he should have as a person in charge of dark forces. An ethereal temperament.
Seeing Duanmu Hibiscus in a trance, a voice in her heart told her that this was what the real dark master looked like. The angry contemplation on his face when he entered the door just now had turned into full confidence.
"What's the matter?" Duanmu's ears moved. Hearing the footsteps of Aiyi, he asked slowly. At the same time, his brow furrowed slightly.
If it weren't for something important, Aiyi wouldn't suddenly disturb him.
"I just received the news that some of the elders have heard that you have been found at the headquarters. ”
It's fast enough, and the eyeliner they put in is really good. knew that the other party was menacing, but Duanmu Hibiscus could only learn to be a coward to dodge at the moment.
"Is my appearance revealed?"
Looking at the fiery bright spots in the shadows, he shook his head affirmatively and said: "There are not many people in the public relations department, and every situation is checked by someone every day." There was a problem that was dealt with early in the morning. The subordinates can guarantee that the elders do not know what you look like yet. ”
"Thank you for your hard work. I left first. ”
"I've got people to protect you. "Aichi also knew that he needed to come down and deal with these elders now. But the safety of their own masters cannot be taken lightly.
Duanmu Hibiscus you pinched out the cigar and shook it: "I can only leave alone." ”
Just in case. There is a kind of human eye that is fiery and sharp, and it is very accurate to catch the breath of the same kind.
"Since they only listen to me. On the contrary, it is safer for me to leave on my own. After all, Duanmu Hibiscus thought that this building must have her equipment that could leave quietly.
"Little miss, just in case, you might as well have someone follow you. ”
"Can you guarantee that the people who follow me will not be noticed by them?"
"I can guarantee it. "Aiyi still has full confidence in his direct subordinates.
"Actually, then. ”
Half an hour later, his confident face was dead and ashamed. Just now, someone disguised as Duanmu Hibiscus, and the person who followed the protection left through the secret passage of the building.
Just a few dozen minutes. The pretending person is already dead.
And in the recording from the time sent back by a hand, Duanmu's conjecture was completely confirmed.
From the other party's chatter, they knew that it was because of the exposure of these protective people that they had become innocent accomplices in the other party's search for people.
"You're clever and you're being clever, do you think we're not going to stay outside the building and wait for you? If this short-lived person had come out alone, we wouldn't have noticed her abnormality......"
With a pop, her eyes knelt down in front of Duanmu Hibiscus, and she had a double fear at this time.
While knowing that his direct subordinates need to be further perfected, he is also worried that the new master will misunderstand that he has bad intentions.
"What are you?" Duanmu Hibiscus frowned lightly and looked at the eyes on the ground.
"Little Miss, I am loyal to the darkness, and the master of darkness is my life. I admit that I have trained my men so poorly, and I am willing to accept the punishment. But I don't have the heart to hurt you. ”
Did she think that I, the new master, would be suspicious of her? Although she was wary of everyone, she gave them a basic trust as these people who wore it with her.
Besides, if Aiyi really wanted to kill himself, he would have almost met with Hades now.
"I believe in you. ”
The eyes looked up cautiously and looked at Duanmu Hibiscus's expression, which was not lying. There was a stirring in the bottom of the eye. "Little Miss, did you really decide to go down on your own?" there were other ways to avoid what had just happened. It's just that the losses will also be huge.
"Lead the way. ”
"Yes. ”
Ten minutes later. In a coffee shop on the first floor of the building's five-story commercial building, Duan Hibiscus sits on a window table gently stirring the hot coffee in front of him, and a few shopping bags are placed under the table.
At this time, the commercial building is still calm, and there are still many people coming in and out. It's no different than ever. But in secret, the people on the other side must be paying close attention to everyone here.
But at the moment, she is just a shopper, drinking a good cup of coffee while casually looking at the phone in her hand.
The phone is still the same as before, but the core inside was replaced with a new one just now.
At this time, she was watching the live video in her hand like a gang movie.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Duanmu Hibiscus turned off the sound, but there were subtitles on it.
Just now in Duanmu, Hibiscus knew that he could see the live broadcast of the elders coming up, so he asked if there were any subtitles. His eyes were slightly stunned. At the moment, it is very guaranteed that the subtitles are synchronized.
Much later. Duanmu hibiscus only knew. In fact, there was no such feature before. Fortunately, there are many talents in the dark forces, and Duanmu's request was immediately realized.
From the video, you can see two energetic old men in their fifties, with multiple bodyguards standing at the door of the office where they were just staying. Eyes and hands under the expressionless blocked doorway.
From the face of the face, I knew that these two elders were not easy to get along. The compelling momentum is not as restrained as the five right-hand men. On the contrary, it is domineering and exposed.
"Suddenly I heard that the new master is at the headquarters, why aren't you going to let us meet? Or have you already done something to the new master?"
Hit a rake. Out of nothing, these two elders don't seem to be as brave and resourceful as they appear.
Duanmu Hibiscus guessed that if these people were willing, they would be able to succeed even if they tied up a few eyes now.
In the next second, a few people in the picture were surrounded by more than 20 bodyguards.
One of the elders gave them one last chance to go in and meet their new master, so that they could be sure that the new master was safe and sound.
At the top, one of the elders whispered to the other, "Are you sure that person is still in there?"
"Even if it's not inside, it must still be hidden in this building. In either case, you'll need to get through this door to catch her. Look at the secret passage for signs of being activated. ”
Because he is very confident in his own deployment, since there is no report from the people below now, there are suspicious people appearing. Then she must still be in this building.
In fact, the elder had miscalculated. Duanmu Hibiscus was still in the building, but he didn't have any bodyguards with him. Her plan to use bodyguards to find out who the new master was on the run was unlikely to succeed.
At this time, the eyes in the video strongly disagreed with them entering the room. In the blink of an eye, those bodyguards wanted to subdue the two of them, and a fight broke out for a while.
Suddenly, Duanmu's hand holding the phone also stiffened, and he looked up to see a man and a woman coming in through the door. Judging from their temperament and looks, they found that the other party should be the person left downstairs by the two elders to investigate.
Their eyes were like X-rays, and Duanmu couldn't be sure if she would be spotted by them at such a close distance.
