Chapter 377 Next King
The Cabinet eting was sothing that usually took place quarterly. However, it could also be called in case of ergency. It was like a private eting with the King, the Pri Minister, the Crown Prince, and all the Ministers.
Since it was an ergency eting, it was being held behind closed doors, in a highly-secured place, deep underground of the palace area.
The eting was being held in a secure room with a big, oval, mahogany table and leather-bound chairs. Outside of the room, around twenty guards always were being stationed. Moreover, the security in that area was impeccable.
Jiang Yue stared at the group of guards who were escorting her to the eting room. There were actually six of them. They were all wearing complete body armor and holding long arm weapons. She wondered if this was sothing that they usually did during every eting or it had sothing to do with the upcoming attack. Did Gideon prepare this as a security asure?
"Alright. We are here. You may co in now." She heard the leader of the group say after he opened the door of the room. ’It seems that so people have arrived early,’ she thought when she saw the Crown Prince and the Pri Minister already sitting on their seats. Aside from them, Secretary Jia and other two Ministers were already present too.
"Good morning, Gentlen," she greeted as she walked towards her designated seat, located just at the right of the King. She looked at the seating arrangents and was sowhat wondering why was the Pri Minister and not the Crown Prince seated at the left side of the King.
Was Gideon finally showing his claws towards his fake son?
With that in mind, Jiang Yue started preparing for her presentation, as more and more Cabinet mbers were arriving and occupying their seats. She was working on her laptop when she noticed her phone vibrating. Jiang Yue imdiately checked it out and was sohow surprised seeing the context of the ssage from Fu Jin.
Soone was trying to hack into the traffic system of Dongsu City and six other big cities in the country.
Jiang Yue imdiately clenched her jaws as a thought ca into her mind. Was Li Qiang trying to cause chaos on the outside by sabotaging the traffic lights? It would imdiately cause countless accidents and maybe even deaths.
But why choose the traffic system?
Then, another ssage ca through.
This ti Fu Jin was telling that the sa was happening to the power system and communication towers.
"Is everything alright, Miss Jiang?" She heard the Crown Prince ask, his tone was full of mockery.
"Yes... I just forgot to feed my cats." She answered while smiling at him. She wondered if this lousy Crown Prince was mocking her for coming here and falling into their trap, or he was mocking her for frowning.
"Oh... cats. I love to eat cats." Carlisle said. "They are good."
"Really?" Jiang Yue smiled at him before propping her head onto her hands. Her face was full of interest in the topic. "I love to eat people who eat cats." She then stared at him intently. Her eyes traveled from his head to his arms, before she licked her lips.
Her actions might seem seductive to so other people. But to Carlisle, they were really scary, to the extent that the hairs at the back of his neck raised, as Jiang Yue continued staring at him.
"You..."
"Pfft..." Jiang Yue suddenly laughed. "I was joking... Your Highness." Once again, she laughed at him. "You don’t have to get that scared. I don’t eat people. I just kill them, that’s all."
"I promise..." she added before she winked at Secretary Jia who was trying to hold back his laughter. Seeing that she had already achieved her goal, Jiang Yue turned her attention back to her laptop as she opened a new window and started typing a new series of codes.
Carlisle, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth. He was about to retort and accuse Jiang Yue of threatening the Crown Prince, yet the Pri Minister held him back. Clearly, the Pri Minister was trying to stop him from falling into Jiang Yue’s trap and creating a ruckus out of nothing.
He could only watch, as Jiang Yue happily typed on her computer while occasionally smiling to herself.
Carlisle looked at his wristwatch and smiled inwardly.
Five more minutes and the eting would start. Then, at nine thirty... his mother would co, barging in, as the attack on the city would begin. He smugly looked at Jiang Yue, as he was silently mocking her in his mind. No matter how smart she was, she could not possibly have counterasures against sothing that she was not aware of.
Mr. Wu told him that he had been preparing for this attack for months. There was just no way that Jiang Yue could counter their attack on the sa day.
Today, Jiang Yue would end up being locked in prison while he... the Crown Prince of this country would get recognition and complints. He would solidify his position as the one, who would be the next King after the current King’s death.
And it would happen today...!!!
