Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Kerlow was initially not eligible to continue living in Marquis’ mansion after he got married. However, his father and brother doted on him, so they let him continue to stay with them and enjoy their resources. However, as a son who could not inherit the title of Marquis, even if he stayed in the Marquis’ manor, he could only stay in a smaller side building. That was why he and his wife arrived later.
Officer Abel still held basic respect for Marquis Adrian. After all, he was a top noble of Luntan.
Abel bowed to Adrian, but Adrian’s expression did not soften.
“Marquis Shipley, do you know what happened in Soleil Alley today?”
Adrian frowned. “I don’t. What does it have to do with our Marquis residence?”
!!
Abel smiled. “It has a lot to do with you.”
Adrian looked at his eldest son, Adolf, and saw that Adolf was also at a loss. Then, he looked at his second son, Kerlow, who also looked confused. Adrian ignored Adolf’s and Kerlow’s wives and asked, “What exactly happened? Please tell us honestly, Officer Abel.”
Abel did not beat around the bush. He got straight to the point and said, “Today, there was a terrible shooting, an assassination attempt in Soleil Alley. Not only were guns used by both sides of the fight, but even artillery shells were brought out.”
Adrian was shocked.
Even though Luntan’s security was inferior to some countries, those who broke the law were usually only involved in petty theft and armed confrontations. Artillery shells were rarely involved. This was definitely a very serious matter.
“Officer Abel, you’ve brought so many people into my marquisdom. Don’t tell me that you believe this shooting incident is related to us?”
“Of course I do! Otherwise, why would I bring so many people here to arrest the criminals?”
Adrian was so angry that he laughed. “Officer Abel, My Shipley family is one of the top noble families in Luntan. We’ve always abided by the law. How could we do such a thing? You haven’t even investigated the case properly yet, and you’ve already brought so many people to arrest us without reason. You even called helicopters over. Do you know how much damage this has done to my manor?”
“I don’t know how much damage the Marquis’ manor has suffered. I only know that the damage done to the Duke tonight was phenomenal. Duke Eton is extremely furious. He demanded that we capture the criminals and bring him justice. I’ve already asked your bodyguards, and they’ve told me that two criminals are in your mansion.”
“Nonsense!” Adrian was furious. “My marquisdom is clean. How can there be criminals here?”
“Are Su Fei and Xu Yunyun here?” Abel asked.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and asked, “What crime did those two commit?”
“They hired someone to kill someone else. Marquis, do you know who they hired to kill?”
An unsettling premonition arose in Adrian’s mind.
He was a Marquis. If the police were willing to piss him off, someone huge was clearly backing them.
He had always been on good terms with the Empress—he was even more highly regarded than the three dukes in the Empress’ heart. There was only one person whom the entire royal family and the nobles of Luntan could not afford to offend…
Could it be…
Able saw Adrian’s expression souring, so he simply confirmed his suspicions. “Those two hired assassins to kill Miss Sunny.”
