Chapter 185: The Wind Rises and the Undercurrent Surges
Thomas von was depressed, and now everyone suspected that he had done it, and that the Habsburgs had the ability and reason to do so, and that the means were consistent with some of the family's previous misdeeds. If he swapped places with Zhuo Yang, Thomas would have suspected the Habsburgs at first, but he knew it wasn't.
Although Thomas is young, he has a strong voice within the family, and many family affairs are handled by his hands. If the dark forces were really dispatched to teach Zhuo Yang a lesson, it would definitely be Thomas who arranged it, but he didn't know about it. These family powers were already in his hands, although Thomas didn't like them.
Thomas communicated with his grandfather, Otto Von, the Archduke of Habsburg, and learned that his grandfather had not bypassed him. Thomas put the suspicion on Prince Ergul, the crown prince of Monaco, when he went to Barcelona to warn Zhuo Yang in private, that it was Ergule who made a request to his grandfather.
But Thomas also knew that although Ergul was a beautiful person, he was actually a straw bag, and he had almost no real power in the Monegasque royal family, he was just a pampered gentleman, unable to mobilize money and power without authorization, and he could not deploy such a professional attack on his own. If you just spend money to hire a murderer, this is actually a very dangerous thing, and it is easy to be caught, and no one in the aristocracy does this. Moreover, Prince Albert II also endorsed Ergul, assuring that he did not do it, and that the prince could be trusted.
Suspicious, Thomas decided to ask Ergul in person. Love and hatred can make people lose their minds, and it is not uncommon to do anything to make people lose their minds under jealousy.
Ergul was so angry that he jumped up and down when he received the call, and he almost qualified for the Olympic high jump preliminaries.
"Thomas, you don't have a bloody mouth! My father scolded me, and you also want to put a basin on my head? I'm a prince of Monaco, and I'm going to sneak up on a yellow-skinned monkey? You Habsburgs have not been able to manage your own women well, and you will wipe your ass for the troubles you have caused, and you will not come to talk nonsense with me. β
"Crown Prince, it's not your best job. Now that we Habsburgs are being pointed out by thousands of people, I will surely find out who is making us take the blame. The Habsburgs were not afraid to do anything, but if they didn't do it, no one would try to pour dirty water on us. β
"Then you go and check, what nonsense are you talking to me here! Thomas, I now feel that you Habsburgs are very ineffective, and it seems that in the future I will have to reconsider the relationship between Monaco and Habsburg. β
"Hehe, let's talk about it after you take power, my esteemed prince."

In the quiet and solemn quaint courtyard, the elderly secretary walked lightly into the office building.
"Chief, we have received news from Europe that Zhuo Yang and his girlfriend were attacked during their trip to Spain two days ago."
Xue Yuanshan raised his gaze, leaned back, looked at the secretary, and motioned for him to continue.
"Zhuo Yang and his girlfriend were traveling in the mountains of northwestern Spain when they encountered three knife-wielding gangsters, and they had a physical altercation with the gangsters, but fortunately the two escaped without injury, and the three gangsters also escaped. The origin of the gangsters is unknown, and it is now uncertain whether it is an ordinary criminal case, a personal vendetta, or any political background. β
Zhuo Yang's sister temporarily suspected that the Habsburgs were responsible, because they were very opposed to Zhuo Yang falling in love with his girlfriend, and warned Zhuo Yang in person. Zhuo Yang's girlfriend was born in the Habsburg family and has status in Europe. β
Xue Yuanshan nodded lightly, he knew some things, but a small Habsburg family was not worth his attention.
"What is Zhuo Yang's attitude now?" Xue Yuanshan asked the secretary.
"What Zhuo Yang's sister Zhuo Qiu meant, before it was time to use the power of the state to attack the Habsburgs, seemed to be making a big fuss, and there is indeed no conclusive evidence that the Habsburgs did it."
"Hmm." Xue Yuanshan nodded again: "Respect the opinions of the Zhuo family, but Zhuo Yang's safety must be guaranteed." β
"Yes! Security measures have been taken on Zhuo Yang's side, and I will inform my comrades in Europe to keep an eye on them. β
"Zhuo Yang, this kid, offended people in the torch relay that year, and we need to find out if they did it."
"Yes! Those people have been under our watch, and it seems that they should have nothing to do with them at the moment, and I will order the comrades there to continue to be vigilant. β
"Okay, I got it."
"Yes!"
After the secretary left, Xue Yuanshan started his busy work again.

Somewhere in Europe, the bright sunlight that pours into the room doesn't illuminate the gloom.
"Why did you miss it?"
Schmering said that they underestimated Zhuo Yang's force, and because they only wanted Zhuo Yang's hands and feet to be abolished, they had some hesitations at first. But the most important thing is that I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Princess Christine, Her Royal Highness Princess's archery skills are too powerful. Otherwise, even if Zhuo Yang can fight again, he won't be able to escape this time. β
"How's it going? Will it implicate me? β
"The three of Smalling should not die, but they are all in ruins, I asked Philip to send them to Toulon overnight, where they will be able to walk around for a few days after recuperating from their injuries, and then go to Corsica, they will definitely not be traced down on the Spanish side, let alone traced to you. Later, I will arrange for them to go to Venezuela and make them disappear if necessary. β
"Three idiots! Alasβ"
"Otherwise, I'll go there in person, Zhuo Yang's three-legged cat kung fu is not worth mentioning in front of me."
"Alas, forget it! I'll think of another way, and you won't make your own decisions about my affairs in the future. β
ββ¦β¦ Be! β

Coco was angry, but also sad. Although Joseph's family did not have a good relationship with the Habsburg family, Coco was very close to Cousin Thomas, and she was also the lubricant between the two major mountains of the family, and everyone liked her, even Otto Feng, who was in his last years, saw that Coco's face was also kind and kind.
Because of the existence of Koko, the contradictions between the two factions of the Austrian Archduke and the Habsburg Archduke have not been intensified, and have even eased a lot over the years, unlike when Koko's grandfather, Archduke Ludwig, was alive.
The relationship between Chloco and Cousin Thomas is very good, and the two have a common goal and tacit understanding that the Habsburgs will be united from old grievances, and they have been working hard to achieve this with their own charisma.
But the appearance of Zhuo Yang seems to have made all these years of hard work in vain, and this incident has completely intensified the contradictions within the family. It was impossible for Kou to lose Zhuo Yang, and she didn't believe it was Cousin Thomas who did it.
Thomas is put on the cusp, and Koukou's father and the head of Otto's family are close to breaking up, which is a scene that Koukou does not want to see. But the world is safe and perfect, since he has chosen to fall in love with Zhuo Yang, he can only face all this.
Coco was sad, but for the sake of Zhuo Yang, she could still cut off contact with the main Habsburg vein without hesitation, but she always had the blood of the same ancestor in her body, so she was still sad. This is the most important reason why Zhuo Yang and others were reluctant to make the conflict public, but now they can no longer hide it.
Perhaps, it takes a move that is not broken or standing, and it needs a long-term and small opportunity.
