Chapter III: Summons
In the court.
The gracefully dressed queen sat in a chair and looked at the petite girl who was walking towards her with a smile on her face.
"Her Majesty." Laura walked up to the queen and bowed.
"Come and sit, Laura." The queen looked at her kindly.
Laura walked to the seat next to her and sat down, looked at the queen and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for me for?" ”
"Or for the same thing." "The government has taken action to search the London branch of Abstergo Industries. In addition, the NSA team captured Warren Rikkin and another explorer, Nathan Drake, in a catacomb. ”
Hearing this, Laura's heart tightened, and her eyes showed nervousness.
She did not speak, and continued to look at the Queen.
The queen paused, then continued, "From that explorer, we have recovered the missing Starlight Gem from the crown. It was determined that there was indeed a hidden map. ”
Speaking of this, ****** changed his words and said to Laura in a sincere tone, "I have to thank you, Laura. I was able to recover the crown this time, thanks to your help. ”
"This is what I should do, Your Majesty." Laura smiled reluctantly and said, "And I didn't contribute anything other than provide some information. ”
Shaking his head, he smiled again and said, "I have one more good news for you." This time you have saved face for the royal family and the British Empire. Thanks to your merits, your offer to inherit the title of Earl of the Crawford family has been approved. We're planning to hold a separate knighthood ceremony for you in a month's time. I think it will be a glorious moment that will attract the attention of the whole world. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
If it had been, Laura would have been thrilled to hear the news. However, now that she was worried about Su Bai's safety, she didn't have the heart to think about anything else.
Seeing her absent-mindedness, ****** eyes showed a little consternation. Then he smiled and said, "In addition, in view of what has happened recently, the government plans to publicize your knighthood ceremony widely to recover the damage caused to the reputation of the United Kingdom due to the previous incident." So they may need some cooperation from you. ”
Hearing this, Laura hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I need to think about this matter." ”
"Of course." The queen chuckled and said, "We won't force you, you can think about it for a while." But it's best to get back to me within three days so that we can prepare accordingly. Of course, personally, I hope you agree. After all, this is a good thing for both the Crawford family and the United Kingdom. ”
"I'll think about it." Laura nodded, and then couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, since the government has confirmed that Abstergo and Warren Rikkin are the real culprits who snatched the crown, can it be declared that Su and those Huaxia students are innocent?" ”
Hearing this, the smile on ******'s face gradually retracted, and he said, "Laura, in this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an answer for the time being." The government must go through a rigorous process before it can announce the final results. Until then, they will not be found innocent and released. ”
"But ......"
Laura also wanted to defend herself, but ****** interrupted her: "But don't worry, I will urge the government to complete the investigation as soon as possible and announce the results to the public." ”
Laura took a deep breath and asked, "So I want to know, how is Sue doing now?" ”
Hearing her question, ****** hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "In fact, we don't know. In that catacomb, he broke through the defenses of our squad and left. ”
Hearing this, Laura's heart suddenly relaxed.
At this time, ****** said again: "Laura, if you want that Mr. Su Bai to be found innocent, I'm afraid there is still a small problem. ”
"What?" Laura asked subconsciously.
"According to the report of our operatives and the confession of Warren Rikkin, that Mr. Su Bai took a 500-year-old burial object from the tomb. The value of that thing could be very precious, and it should belong to the British. ”
Apple of Eden!
Almost immediately, Laura thought of what was being taken away by Su Bai.
He continued: "So if you see that Mr. Su Bai again, I hope you can tell him and ask him to return that artifact to the authorities as soon as possible." Otherwise, the government is likely to prosecute him for stealing antiquities. That would be very bad for him. ”
After she finished speaking, she found that the girl next to her was stunned.
The queen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she shouted softly, "Laura, Laura? ”
"Huh?" Laura came back to her senses and immediately replied, "I see, Your Majesty. If I see him, I'll relay your words to him. ”
"That's good." Smiling and nodding, "If he can return the cultural relics belonging to the UK to the authorities as soon as possible, I think it will be very helpful for the government to give the results of the investigation as soon as possible." It's a win-win thing. ”
……
Coming out of the court, Laura only felt relaxed all over her body.
Of course, this is not because the queen said that a knighthood ceremony will be held for her in a month, but because she learned from the other party that Su Bai was not caught by the government.
Now that Su Bai had escaped, she believed that he must be safe and sound now.
He was able to handle such a dangerous situation when he was on that isolated island before, and he would definitely not have any problems now. Besides, there is also Shanmansha, who has the power of the entire Nishimura group, helping him......
Thinking of her best friend, Laura's mood suddenly became complicated.
"Sam, I'm not going to lose to you." The girl muttered softly.
When I returned to Crawford Manor, before I entered the door, I heard a burst of talking from the living room, and little Lucy's crisp and pleasant laughter.
A familiar voice teased the little girl, making her laugh like a silver bell.
"Sue?"
Hearing this voice, Laura's eyes widened suddenly, and her body subconsciously reacted, rushing into the living room quickly.
A few people in the living room turned to look at her, but the girl's eyes only had that figure that made her extremely concerned.
"Sue!"
She rushed forward without hesitation.
Su Bai put the little Lucy in his arms on the sofa beside him, then stood up and just hugged the girl who rushed up into his arms.
"Laura, long time no see."
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to caress the hair of the girl in his arms, and said softly.
