Dr. Hei Cha Bai and Minister Gao both felt something was the identities of the three men in their camp have been confirmed, the remaining Earl Mellis can only be the unidentified man from the Dawn Association.
Such an important role happened to fall on the enemy.
Imagine that the identities of both parties are reversed, and now it is the Dawn Association team that comes to the banquet hall to make this suggestion. Minister Gao, as the only male in the team, faces this sudden event that he knows was created by the players of the enemy camp. Will he choose to lend a helping hand?
will not.
Minister Gao came to the conclusion without even thinking, he had already mentally prepared himself for a violent death.
But Melris chuckled, "I feel that it is more rude of you to speak to me like this, Armand."
"That servant's name is Haier, right? Arnold, go over and help check him out."
This unexpected change was unexpected by everyone, even Ranran couldn't help but feel surprised.
Asking a servant to help other servants was obviously not in line with aristocratic status, but Melris insisted despite Armand's objection... Why...
Among the people present, except for Melris who was giving orders and had an indifferent expression, only Leonor who was sitting at the innermost part of the banquet hall smiled.
That smile brought life to her whole face, like injecting blood back into a corpse.
However, what was most attractive was not the smile on her face, but the admiration, almost crazy admiration, surging under her seemingly calm eyes.
The object of this worship is naturally self-evident.
Armand didn't say anything to stop him. He sneered and watched Dr. Bai start to examine Minister Gao.
After a set of tedious procedures, Dr. Bai put away his stethoscope. He examined Mellis even more carefully than he had just done.
Of course there was a reason for doing this. He wanted to prove that Haier, who had been to the punishment house, was indeed fine.
"To the two earls and ladies, Haier is in good health."
On the other side, Ah Fu had asked the servants to verify Eve's statement. Haier had indeed been to the punishment room and was even carried in by several servants.
But Haier is fine, so the problem can only be...
Ah Fu looked incredulous. "How is this possible? How could there be a problem with the punishment house? The master helped build it!"
Armand's eyes darkened.
Minister Gao was shocked. It turned out that such a perverted place was built by Armand! He was obviously a handsome man, how could he be so perverted!
He suddenly felt that the Punishment House was very similar to Count Armand, both of whom were the subjects of a great contrast between appearance and inner self…
The punishment room looked like a simple little room, but the things inside were so brutal... Minister Gao didn't want to recall it...
Although the injuries on his body had been healed by Doctor Bai, he still felt phantom pain whenever he thought about them.
"Afu, nothing in this world is foolproof." There seemed to be nothing in Armand's cold gray eyes, and that kind of indifferent contempt almost filled his eyes.
“Because the world is changing every moment.”
"Even for an ancient family like you and me that has always adhered to tradition, changes are inevitable over a long period of time, let alone just a house."
Ah Fu was sweating profusely after hearing this. He leaned forward and said sincerely, "The Evans family will always belong to the noble Gould family. Ah Fu is your slave according to the old custom, just like Ah Fu's father was the slave of your father, and it will be like this for generations."
Such words of loyalty shocked the ten souls from modern society.
Isn't this equivalent to making himself and his descendants slaves forever? How can such words be said so sincerely? It's too outrageous. The same words can make Armand smile. "Don't be afraid, Alfred. I'm not warning you. It's just a pure metaphor."
His cold grey eyes calmly scanned everyone present. "Since things have developed to this point, I guess..."
"Should we go check out the punishment house?"
The four-member team's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this. This was exactly the result they wanted!
It is not necessary for everyone to check the so-called punishment room, but once Armand, as the owner of the castle, makes this decision, the rest of the guests will definitely follow suit.
What they wanted was for Leonor to be able to move from the magnificent banquet hall to the dark outdoors, as that environment would be suitable for them to test quietly.
Otherwise, under Armand's nose, people of their status would rashly talk to the Count's fiancée... they would definitely be in trouble...
After knowing that the Punishment House was invented by Count Armand, Minister Gao was even more convinced that they would die miserably!
A group of people walked out of the castle in a mighty procession. The servants had never seen such a scene before. The master took all the guests to explore the punishment house late at night.
Even an oil lamp in each of their hands was not enough to drive away the darkness.
Zhong Ning was already visibly happy. According to Minister Gao, the more people there were, the more chaotic the situation would be, and the more favorable the situation would be for them.
Heicha approached Leonor intentionally or unintentionally as he moved forward, waiting for the right opportunity to speak and test her.
The probing question couldn't be simpler, "Where's my second nephew?"
After all, Evil Child is a new member of the Non-Investigation Bureau, and the Dawn Association doesn’t know her information yet, so this is a question that only Evil Child can answer correctly.
But Leonor was worthy of being Armand's fiancée. Even though it was very obvious that Armand disliked her, the servants of the castle were still very tactful and protected her closely, fearing that this noble lady might get into trouble in the dark.
The servants saw clearly that although the owner of the castle, Count Armand, did not like the marriage, he had never refused the marriage with Miss Leonor.
Like most men in the world, Armand is very "clear-headed" and can distinguish between love and interests.
Heicha was therefore unable to get completely close to Leonor, and it was even more impossible for her to say something private to her. Just as she tried to use her authority as the head maid to make the maids retreat, Zhong Ning hurriedly grabbed her from behind.
"Hei...Eve, something terrible has happened!" Even though he was afraid, Zhong Ning still lowered his voice.
"Why are you so flustered? Isn't everything going according to plan?" Heicha didn't even look at Zhong Ning. She stared at Leonor's back intently.
She needed to get closer to her!
"Eve, do you remember what I told you before..." There were people all around him, and Zhong Ning didn't even dare to say the words "reward for the side quest."
"…A rose from a forbidden place at midnight?"
Now Hei Cha's attention shifted to Zhong Ning, and her expression became serious. "Did the clue appear as we guessed?"
As she spoke, she took out the watch from her pocket and checked the time.
The hands were all pointing straight up; it was exactly midnight.
“…Not a hint…” Zhong Ning pointed his finger at the ground with a frightened look on his face.
"There's a big red arrow on the ground, and it's still bleeding! It follows me wherever I go!"
Just as Armand said, the dinner that lasted until midnight finally came to a climax.
Hei Cha stared into Zhong Ning's eyes, "So the arrow is pointing to the forbidden place!" (End of this chapter)
