Chapter 21: The Crown
In the living room, Su Bai leaned lazily on the sofa and watched TV. The ghost sat quietly on the other side, keeping its eyes on him.
Little Lucy curled up beside him like a kitten, her big beautiful eyes unblinking at the gorgeous crown displayed on the TV screen.
The hostess was saying in a very emotional voice: "This crown is a treasure of the British Empire, a symbol of the strength and prosperity of the former empire......"
"Does little Lucy like it?" Looking at the little girl's focused appearance, Su Bai couldn't help but gently pinch her red puffy face, and said with a smile.
Lucy slapped his hand away, pouted, and said, "Even if I like it, can you give it to me as a birthday present, uncle?" ”
This Nizi.
Su Bai couldn't cry or laugh, and then joked seriously: "If my brother gives it to little Lucy, then how does little Lucy plan to repay my brother?" ”
The little girl seemed to take his words seriously, and thought about it seriously.
Su Bai was amused in his heart, reached out and touched her little head, and teased with a smile: "It has to be the most precious thing of Little Lucy." ”
The hostess continued: "It is reported that the Imperial Crown will be sent to the Tower of London on the 20th of this month for exhibition, and the general public is welcome to visit and get a glimpse of this crown......
And at this time, Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked up at Su Bai, her big eyes sparkled and said, "If your uncle gives it to Lucy, Lucy will marry her uncle in the future!" ”
Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and then his face instantly became extremely exciting.
He reached out and pinched the little girl's nose, and said angrily: "Little Lucy, you are too unambitious, you bought yourself in order to break the crown." ”
The little girl shook off his hand hard, her nose wrinkled, and she snorted, "Because it was my uncle who sent me." If it were someone else, I wouldn't! ”
"Oh? Is it? Su Bai hugged the little girl into his arms and asked with a smile, "If my brother doesn't send it, won't little Lucy marry my brother?" ”
The little girl's face instantly became entangled, and she said hesitantly: "Mom said that you must have at least a diamond ring when proposing, so if my uncle gives me a diamond ring......"
Su Baiqiang couldn't help but laugh and continued: "But what if my brother is so poor that he can't even afford a diamond ring? ”
"Huh?" The little girl grew her mouth, and then hurriedly said, "Actually, Lucy doesn't really want a diamond ring, so if it's something else, it's okay." ”
Su Bai couldn't help but laugh.
The little girl suddenly understood, pouted and said unhappily: "Uncle is lying to me again." Hum! I don't like my uncle anymore. ”
As he spoke, he broke free from his arms, ran to the other side of the couch, and pinned his little head to it.
Su Bai stopped laughing and leaned over with a smile: "Little Lucy, don't be angry, okay?" ”
"Nope! Good! The little girl snorted angrily.
"Then my brother will take you to see the exhibition of the crown, okay?" Su Bai said in a seductive tone.
The little girl was suddenly a little moved.
At this point, Rose walked over and said, "There's movement over there in Abstergo. ”
"Got it, I'll be right here." Su Bai replied.
He touched Lucy's little face and said, "Okay, my brother is going to work, and little Lucy will play with Sister Muna first." ”
Then he beckoned to the girl not far away and said, "Muna, you take care of little Lucy first." ”
After saying that, he got up from the sofa and followed Rose towards the study.
"What's going on with Abstergo?" Looking at Emmett, who was sitting in front of the computer and concentrating on the operation, Su Bai asked.
"They've found the first clue." "One of their expeditions found a ship in the snowy fields of Iceland, and I have no way of knowing what it found. Damn, that little white face named Drake really has two hits! ”
"Can you figure out how to figure out where they're going next?" Rose asked.
"I'm trying." Emmett replied, and after a moment, with a soft sigh, muttered to herself, confused, "Strange. Their expedition didn't seem to be going to do anything for the time being, and the group's top brass even gave them a vacation. ”
Hearing this, Su Bai frowned.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Rose also frowned.
At this moment, Laura pushed the door open and walked in.
"I've found a clue that the location of that tomb is likely related to a crown of the British royal family."
"Crown?" Su Bai suddenly thought of the news on TV just now, and an instant flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, "Imperial Crown!" It must be the Imperial Crown! ”
"What?" Laura looked at him puzzled.
Su Bai didn't speak, and looked at Emmett sitting in front of the computer.
Emmett was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and got up from the chair: "I'll go outside to blow the wind, you guys talk." ”
Seeing him leave the room and close the door with his hand, Su Bai took a deep breath and said, "Just now it was said on the news that the 20th royal family will send the Imperial Crown to the Tower of London for exhibition. It must have something to do with Abstergo, and it's likely that they wanted to take on the Imperial Crown that day! ”
"Oh, they're so daring." Rose gasped, "This is the most serious provocation to the royal family. If they succeed, the whole of Britain will go crazy for it. ”
"We've got to stop them!" Laura immediately said, "I'm going to contact Her Majesty!" ”
As he spoke, he turned and left.
Su Bai grabbed her and shook his head: "It's useless, Laura." ”
"Sue is right." "This exhibition is a public relations exercise by the royal family to boost its own prestige, and unless there is definite evidence, it is unlikely that it will be abruptly terminated after the time of the exhibition has been announced to the public." That would be too much of a blow to the royal family's reputation. Abstergo is a top-tier multinational conglomerate, and they have the ability to deny our accusations, or even bite back. ”
"We have to at least warn them to be vigilant." Laura said loudly.
"We can't do that, Laura." Su Bai pulled her back, "Don't forget, soon you will be the Earl of Crawford." You must be responsible for the honor of the Crawford family. If the Imperial Crown is indeed stolen, it is very likely that some ill-intentioned people will use it to discredit the Crawford family, and even affect your succession to the earldom. ”
Laura bit her lip suddenly.
"What's more, if Abstergo had everything ready, the final outcome would probably not have changed much even if we had warned the royal family and the police." "The security at the time of the crown was top-notch, and it was expensive. They can't afford to pay more for a warning with no evidence to raise the security level. ”
"Can we just watch them succeed?" Laura said reluctantly.
