Albert read out his nephew's full name in a harsh voice, which made Klein extremely uneasy. He wanted to say something, but coincidentally, there was a knock on the door at this time.

"come in."

Albert shouted impatiently at the door, and after he finished shouting, the door was opened by a staff member. He was very surprised that the prime minister was so angry. He was very curious about what had happened, but he was also keenly aware that what he was about to tell the prime minister would make him even more angry.

So the staff member whispered a few words in Darren's ear and handed him the document in his hand. This matter that would make the prime minister furious should be left to Darren, the prime minister's confidant, to tell.

Darren's mood instantly dropped to the lowest point after listening to the staff's story. The staff simply told him a few words about what happened in Wuyou Palace. More detailed information was on the document. Darren picked up the document and looked at it. After reading the content, he even had the idea of ​​not telling this to the prime minister.

"Darren, what does he have to report?"

Albert asked, he noticed the subtle changes in Darren's expression, which increased his uneasiness.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please take a look."

Darren didn't dare to tell the Prime Minister about the matter in person. He walked up and placed the document on the Prime Minister's desk. Klein was also frightened by Darren's appearance. He stretched his head forward to see what was written on the document, but was glared back by the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister picked up the document with some confusion and curiosity. He was curious about what had happened to make Darren like this, and he looked at the words on the document carefully.

While reading the document, Albert's fingers gripped the paper more and more tightly, causing veins on his right hand to bulge. After thoroughly reading the contents of the document, he once again raised his hand in anger and pounded it on the desk.

boom!

After a loud bang, a huge crack appeared on the desk, showing the other two people in the office how angry Albert was.

He put down the document, glared at his nephew, and said coldly: "Klein Constantine, do you know what happened at the Wuyou Palace?"

"Those brainless idiots killed your Majesty's driver!"

After hearing the news, Klein was stunned. This was something he had never expected. Didn't the club owner say he was just teaching them a lesson? Why did he kill someone while teaching them a lesson?

Albert picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it towards Klein's face. Klein did not dodge and the ball of paper hit him accurately on the forehead. It didn't hurt, but for Klein it was a sign of his uncle's disappointment in him.

"Take a look at this report yourself, and remember to tell me everything you have hidden."

Albert snorted coldly and waved to Darren, motioning him to come to his side. He had something to discuss with Darren alone.

After Darren came to his side, Albert whispered something in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and Klein picked up the piece of paper and looked at the contents carefully.

After reading the content, Klein felt more confused than angry. He wondered why they killed the driver. This was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it. The other party was the emperor's driver. The consequences of teaching him a lesson and killing him directly were completely different.

The club owner is not a fool, why would he do this? And he has no reason at all to kill the driver.

Klein couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought. While he was wondering about this question, Albert finished discussing it with Darren. He turned his gaze to Klein and asked, "Have you finished reading it? Are you still going to hide it from me?"

"After I finish reading it, I will tell you everything I have hidden from you."

Klein gave up hiding the truth. Things had come to this point, and there was no need for him to continue hiding it, otherwise Albert would really press his face to the ground and rub him.

"Go ahead."

Seeing that his nephew was going to confess everything, Albert's irritable mood improved a little.

Klein then told Albert about his and the club owner's plan. After hearing that his nephew was directly involved in this matter, Albert's anger surged up again. He raised his hand and hammered his desk for the third time. This time, the unfortunate desk was completely split in two by his angry attack.

The objects on the table were scattered on the ground. Darren hurried forward to pick up the important documents, and let the unimportant things fall to the ground.

"Klein, Klein, you really know how to cause me trouble!"

Albert stood up and angrily walked up to Klein and punched him directly, knocking his nephew to the ground. Klein did not resist or complain, but just stood there and quietly accepted his uncle's punch.

He knew that if he dared to resist or complain, he would be beaten even harder than this punch.

After knocking his nephew to the ground, Albert calmed down a little because of the pain from his fist. He had never been so disappointed with his nephew in the past. Albert never thought that his nephew would bring him such a trouble at the critical moment when he was preparing to carry out a government purge.

He shouted at Klein who was getting up from the ground: "Do you know that by doing this, the conflict between you and Fritz Hipper has turned into a deadly feud!"

"Even though you weren't the murderer, and you weren't the mastermind, you were involved. You asked me to transfer Bode away, which indirectly killed his uncle. What's more important is that you were involved alone, and you even involved me!"

Albert was getting angrier as he spoke. He raised his foot and wanted to kick Klein's calf, but he put his foot down again because he was worried that he would break his nephew's leg.

Even though he doesn't want this nephew anymore.

The prime minister's behavior made Klein feel very confused. Although his position as prime minister was a little unstable now, he was still the prime minister after all. Why did he seem to care so much about the Chinese man?

"Uncle, I don't understand why you care so much about that Chinese man? What big waves can he cause?"

Albert glared at him and said, "Do you think I care about that Fritz Hipper? I care about the people under him, his newspaper, and his relationship with His Majesty and Cecilia!"

"His tabloid was able to fight back and forth with the Central Daily News, and eventually even won the war of public opinion. Do you know what impact this incident would have if they reported it?"

The chancellor stretched out his right hand and pressed his fingers hard on Klein's forehead and said, "That fellow Paul Goebbels will report it like this: The chancellor's nephew and that group of racists killed your Majesty's driver."

"This time they assassinated your Majesty's driver. Will they dare to assassinate your Majesty next time? Does the Prime Minister have the intention of rebellion? If he does that, it will be troublesome. I will face the biggest trouble in history."

"If you hadn't been involved in this, it would have been fine. The conflict between you and that Chinese man was just a quarrel. But what about now? You indirectly killed his only relative. You personally turned the conflict between the two of you from a quarrel into a deadly feud. The fact that he didn't kill the murderer shows that he intends to take revenge further. He has shifted his target to the entire club and its owner."

"If he knew that you were involved in this matter, he would also list me as one of his enemies!"

Albert's eyes were wide open with rage. He didn't know what to say to Klein. Things had come to this point, and the Chinese man was bound to not give up.

"If those idiots were capable of taking care of the two men at once, it would be fine. However, they were totally incapable. They only killed your Majesty's driver but not the guy named Fritz, leaving behind such a troublesome source."

Just like Albert said, if both of them were dead, then things would be easy to handle, because there would be no evidence that could link them to his death. But now, there is one person left alive, which makes things difficult. Moreover, the one left behind is the younger one, and happens to be the most capable one.

Hearing his uncle's words, Klein quickly thought of a solution. He said to his uncle, "Uncle, we can kill him before His Majesty comes back."

This extremely brainless and stupid idea made Albert punch Klein again. He couldn't understand why his nephew had become so stupid.

"It's easy to kill him, but the murderer has been caught by the police and the media already knows about it. Even if we kill the Chinese man, it won't help. And how could you come up with such a bad idea? You could have just killed the three murderers!"

Albert scolded Klein bitterly, and Klein felt extremely ashamed. He really hadn't thought of that, but then he remembered that his uncle had already come up with a solution, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to talk about it. However, before he opened his mouth, Albert saw what his nephew wanted to say. He waved his hand at him and said, "Don't get involved in this matter anymore. Go home and stay in the detention room. You can come out when I let you out."

His uncle had already spoken, and it was obvious that he didn't want to see him again. Klein had no choice but to nod and turn away.

After Klein left the office, Albert took the notebook from Darren, glanced at the name on it, and handed it back.

Albert walked around the broken table and sat back in his chair. He bent down and opened the drawer of the table that was tilted on the ground. He took out a roster from it. While flipping through the roster, he said to Darren:

"When your majesty comes back, I will give you this booklet (with the names of corrupt officials). I am a little tired. I will not do things like purging officials. Let your majesty do it. If she really takes power in the future, she will need some merits to establish her authority. Cleaning out a group of corrupt officials is not a big deal, nor a small matter. It is just right for your majesty to do it."

If there were other people present, they would definitely be shocked by the prime minister's words, because another meaning of his words was that he was going to resign.

What is even more surprising is that the prime minister was extremely indifferent to this, as if he did not care about his position at all.

Darren was not too surprised by this. The prime minister had just called him over for a private talk to discuss these things. He simply nodded and said nothing else.

Albert flipped through a few pages of the roster and found Bode's name. After thinking about the information about this person for a while, he said to Darren: "Darren, send a message to His Majesty tonight and ask her and Lady Cecilia to come back immediately after the banquet there..."

Halfway through his words, the chancellor thought that today's news would definitely spread to Flanders and Wallonia. At that time, Her Majesty might decide not to attend Adalbert's son's birthday party and immediately set off back to Germany, so he changed the topic and said, "If Her Majesty wants to come back immediately, the train is always waiting at the border. If she wants to take a military train to rush back quickly, that's fine too. In short, all transportation facilities are waiting 24 hours a day."

"After they leave for Germany, please let Lady Cecilia come to see me first. I have something I want to discuss with her."

Darren nodded and kept these things in mind.

After saying this, Albert paused for a few seconds, swallowed his saliva, and then continued: "And next, let the Central Daily News and the Forward News condemn the group of racists together, and notify all departments to cooperate in investigating this case. In short, don't hinder it. Do you understand?"

"My Lord Prime Minister, I understand everything."

"As long as you know."

After saying that, the Prime Minister closed the roster, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He rubbed his temples with both hands and muttered to himself, as if he was talking to himself or Darren: "Let's give Captain Klein's position to that young man named Bode..."

The office was a little hot, but Darren felt a chill all over his body after hearing the Prime Minister's words.

This sentence seemed to be just an ordinary change of position, but having followed Albert for almost ten years, he knew very well what the prime minister's words meant.

Chapter 174 Insomnia

At five o'clock in the afternoon on the 11th, Louis drove Lin Shangzhou to the staff apartment. He wanted to stay here temporarily tonight, so Louis brought him here.

It was not time to get off work yet, and there was no one on the first and second floors of the apartment. They went to the third floor, opened the door and walked in. Louis walked into the living room and shouted Harvot's name loudly, but no one responded to him in the empty room.

"I guess he's researching on the fourth floor."

Louis muttered to himself. He turned around and wanted to say something to Lin Shangzhou, but found that he had already sat on the sofa alone. Louis came to Lin Shangzhou and said to him, "Hawter should be doing research on the fourth floor. You stay here alone for now. I will tell everyone about what happened today and ask them not to disturb you."

After a few seconds, Lin Shangzhou turned his head and looked at him. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded to Louis.

He wanted someone to be around, but he also wanted to be alone.

"If you need anything, use the communicator to find me. I'm going up first."

After saying this, Louis turned and left the room, closing the door gently as he walked out. After closing the door, he came to the fourth floor, where he found Harvot who was doing research inside.

He told Harvot what happened today, hoping that he would try not to disturb Lin Shangzhou when he returned to his room. Harvot was surprised and said that he could just stay on the fourth floor for the next few days. However, before Louis left, he stopped Louis and said, "Is it really okay to leave Fritz alone like this?"

Louis stopped and leaned against the door frame, thinking about this problem anxiously. He knew that he couldn't just leave Lin Shangzhou alone like this. There was a high possibility that the longer he was alone, the more likely it would be that something would go wrong.

Louis hasn't seen Lin Shangzhou cry since he saw him at his house. This is very wrong. Although Lin Shangzhou's emotions have stabilized from his performance, who knows what will happen in the end?

"I also wanted to go over and comfort Fritz, but he refused to let Letia and I get close to him..."

Louis sighed as he spoke, and Harvot also looked embarrassed. He himself had rejected other people's comfort, so there was nothing he could do. If he forced himself to go and talk to him, it might even disgust him.

"At this time, the comfort of family or lovers is most appropriate, but Uncle For is Fritz's only family, and he has no lover, so this is difficult to deal with."

As Louis spoke, he was thinking about whether he should bring Letitia over to take care of Lin Shangzhou, but Lin Shangzhou had refused Letitia's approach to him at that time. If he forcibly brought Letitia over, it might have a counterproductive effect.

"Now we can only see if he can come out of this by himself."

Louis said worriedly, and Harvotte nodded in agreement.

Then Louis left here and came to the newspaper office. Everyone in the newspaper office had already known the news of Lin Yangyu's murder, and they all expressed regret and concern for Lin Shangzhou. When Kevin learned that Lin Shangzhou wanted to be alone, he said that he could live on the first or second floor, and the third floor would be left for Lin Shangzhou to live alone.

They did the same thing afterwards. No one in the apartment disturbed Lin Shangzhou who was immersed in sorrow at night, and he sat on the sofa for more than an hour with a fuzzy mind. At half past six, he stood up because of hunger and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Lin Shangzhou found the ingredients for cooking in the kitchen. He picked up two potatoes, washed them, and then picked up a knife to peel them. After scraping off a little potato skin with the knife, he cut his finger absent-mindedly.

The wound was not big and not serious at all, it just hurt a little, and the pain made his brain less confused. Lin Shangzhou put down the potatoes, turned on the faucet and washed his fingers. After washing away the blood, he turned off the faucet.

The pain made him regain some of his sanity. He looked at the potatoes on the chopping board beside him, picked up the knife and potatoes and prepared to peel them again. But when he put the knife on the potatoes, he hesitated. He was worried that he would cut his fingers again. When this thought came to his mind, Lin Shangzhou smiled self-deprecatingly.

It was such a simple thing in the past, but today I don’t dare to do it because I accidentally cut my finger.

"Why can't I even cook..."

He laughed at himself and healed himself naturally, then put down the potatoes and the knife and walked out of the kitchen. Since he couldn't cook, he planned to go out for a meal.

When Lin Shangzhou arrived at the door and opened it, he saw Letitia standing at the door with the key in her hand, as if she was ready to open the door.

"Letitia, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Lin Shangzhou was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of Letitia. He didn't expect Letitia to come.

Letitia did not answer Lin Shangzhou's question. She stretched out her hand to push Lin Shangzhou away and walked into the house and asked him, "Let's not talk about me first. What are you going to do when you go out?"

"I'm going out to eat."

Lin Shangzhou answered honestly and hid his left hand behind his back. He knew how to cook but today he didn't dare to cook because he cut his finger. If Letitia knew about this, Lin Shangzhou would feel very embarrassed.

Letitia naturally saw his little action. She quickly reached out and pulled Lin Shangzhou's left hand out. Then she saw the finger that was still bleeding.

At first, Letitia was a little confused as to how Lin Shangzhou had hurt himself, but after a few seconds she realized that he had hurt himself while cooking.

It is very common to hurt your fingers while cooking, but Letitia was very worried. She was afraid that Lin Shangzhou would do something stupid, so she put down his hand and said, "Don't go out to eat. I'll make something for you."

"you?"

Lin Shangzhou looked suspiciously at Letitia who was in front of him and said she wanted to cook for him. In his memory, this girl couldn't cook.

"Why? You don't believe it? After all, I have been a maid in Wuyou Palace for two months. Although I can't cook complicated food, I can still make simple food with Noya's help."

Letitia frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy that Lin Shangzhou suspected her. Lin Shangzhou did not take remedial measures as he did in the past, but just said "Oh" lightly.

Such behavior made Letitia's mood change from unhappiness to worry. She pulled Lin Shangzhou to sit on the sofa and went to the kitchen to cook.

In the following time, Letitia watched Lin Shangzhou finish his dinner and watched him sitting in the living room in a daze. It was not until nine o'clock when she watched Lin Shangzhou go into the house to sleep that she tiptoed out of the room.

On the first floor of the apartment, Louis was discussing the next countermeasures with Goebbels and others. When he saw Letitia coming downstairs, he drove her back to the Sanssouci Palace.

Lin Shangzhou lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. He had repressed emotions in his heart and wanted to vent them, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get them out.

He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep, but he woke up again after a few dozen minutes. This time he couldn't fall asleep again until the sunlight shone through the curtains into the room. Lin Shangzhou didn't fall asleep again.
