The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

In Elder Guido's private residence, Viola was helping her current husband tie his bow tie, preparing to send him out of the house as usual.

"You stay at home for the next two days. I will send someone to take care of Felice."

"Okay, sir."

After tying Guido's bow tie, Viola answered with her head lowered, without any sign of abnormality on her face.

Guido was very satisfied with his wife's obedience. He had worried before that his wife, who was much younger than him, would send someone to rescue Felice in the confessional because of her love for her son. But unexpectedly, she had been quite well-behaved in the past few days and had not even done anything out of line under his nose.

As usual, Viola watched Guido get on the car to the Presbyterian Church before closing the door of the villa and returning to the house.

The smile on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like the closed door.

Viola has received the news from her mother's family, and has also learned that Felice has been taken away by a force.

Her husband would probably not be at peace after going to the Presbyterian Church today, but she really didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these things now.

Now Huang Niao is in the hands of her mother's clan's confidant, and this is her only valuable trump card.

She didn't know whether her husband would still be as kind to her as before when he came back in the evening.

When she walked back into the villa, she saw at a glance the fresh flowers that the maid had trimmed and placed in the vase in the living room early in the morning. For some reason, the annoyance that she had been suppressing suddenly emerged, and the originally fresh and lovely flowers became an eyesore in the blink of an eye.

Viola walked quickly into the living room, took out the bouquet of flowers from the vase with her bare hands, and threw them hard on the clean carpet in the living room as if to vent her anger.

"What kind of useless people did I raise? They can't even do something as trivial as saving people! I might as well raise an obedient dog!"

Viola ruthlessly stepped on the flowers with her exquisite high heels, repeatedly crushing them with her toes while cursing loudly and without restraint.

The fragile and delicate flowers were silently destroyed under her feet, gradually turning into a mess on the ground.

The maid who was about to enter the living room to continue cleaning stood there in silence, not daring to move forward or backward, for fear that any slight move of hers would anger the lady.

I don't know what this lady has been through. She usually pays so much attention to her image, but she got so angry and did something she would never do normally...

After crushing almost all the petals on the ground into powder, Viola, feeling a little calmer, finally took her exquisite high heels away from the flowers and rubbed the soles of her shoes lightly on the clean part of the living room carpet with an expressionless face.

"What are you still doing standing at the door? Look at what you have done! Clean up this mess quickly and stop upsetting me!"

Viola turned around and saw the maid standing honestly outside the living room. She suddenly became angry again and yelled at the innocent maid without thinking twice.

The maid, who had been mentally prepared, was not scared by Viola this time. She just bowed respectfully to Viola, took the cleaning tools and walked to the mess of flowers, and began to clean up their "remains".

After all, in this family, even if the lady didn't get angry, the master would get angry, and the servants were used to being the punching bags.

Viola didn't even look at the maid. She went upstairs in her high heels, returned to her and Guido's room, and sat in front of the dressing mirror.

Looking at her still delicate eyebrows and features in the mirror, Viola's anger disappeared without warning, and she began to concentrate on appreciating her own beauty.

In her eyes, her beauty and means are the best tools to help her hold on to her current husband, even if she is not the only woman he has in his heart, so what!

As long as Felice is here, as long as she is still the elder lady, this old guy will never turn his back on her and kick her out!

Having calmed down, Viola shifted her gaze from her own face in the mirror to a seemingly ordinary drawer on the dressing table.

This drawer, which she rarely opens on weekdays, contains a mobile phone that she rarely uses, and she has never taken out this phone in front of her husband.

——This is her dedicated phone for contacting her mother's family and the farm. It is also a Pandora's box that contains countless evidence and secrets.

After sitting at the dressing table for a long time, Viola finally calmed down the strong resentment in her heart and began to seriously calculate her chips in her mind.

Having been with Guido for such a long time, she spent a lot of time to gain the old man's trust and also spent a lot of time to let the old man relax his vigilance, so that she could collect so much evidence that would allow the Elders Council to expel Guido.

She knew that Guido, the old fox, had a backup plan, and she also knew that compared to the powerful Gallo family, she could not cause any trouble on her own, so unless it was necessary, she would not turn against Guido.

——Unless you are completely abandoned.

Viola hesitated again and again and did not take the mobile phone out of the drawer. She just checked whether the lock of the drawer was intact, and then she felt relieved.

Huang Niao is still controlled by her confidant. If the group of subordinates from her mother's family are not worthy of hope, then she is not worried at all about the confidant who is taking care of Huang Niao.

This is a sharp sword raised outside the family by the mother's family and is generally not used.

And this sword once owed her a great favor when she was young, so she was not worried that this person would betray her.

Viola had no idea how much she had changed as a person since she left her mother's home, but that didn't matter.

As long as he keeps an eye on Huang Niao, the most important bargaining chip, as long as she is there, no matter which force takes her son away, they will have to send him back honestly in the end.

Just as Viola was planning how to maximize Huang Niao's value, Xu Yiyu, who was on the Hughes Plateau, glanced at the movements of Shandao's tour group very naturally, and then turned his gaze back.

The members of the tour group that Shandao joined have gathered together. Judging from the tour guide's movements, they are likely to get on the bus and head to the next destination.

Shandao did not stand out at this time, but got on a tourist bus parked on the roadside with other ordinary tourists.

Shandao didn't look back at Xu Yiyu, and Xu Yiyu's attention was not on Shandao.

On the contrary, Hinata and her group, who were summoned by Yamashima, saw that Yamashima had already gotten on the bus, so they all returned to the small van they took when they came here. It was unclear whether they were preparing to follow him or return to their previous base.

After seeing the two cars leave the Hughes Plateau together, Xu Yiyu suddenly remembered the ten crocodiles he encountered while exploring the road before.

If nothing unexpected happens, these ten unfortunate crocodiles should have been placed in the mountains by the people of this archipelago.

As for the purpose, it is most likely to cause some trouble to the forces that are tracking them and disrupt their pace.

Although the four-member scouting team did not take any other action after tying the crocodiles' mouths, and they did not know where they would crawl to after waking up, if their mouths remained locked, they should not cause too much trouble to the tracking forces.

After Xu Yiyu whispered a few words to Tian Lin behind him, he stood up and gestured to the treasure hunting team about the location deep in the Hughes Plateau and spoke to them in Chinese.

"If we go deeper, there won't be a suitable environment for rest like the Hughes Plateau. If everyone has no objection, we can continue our journey now."

Everyone on the treasure hunting team stood up from the lawn and quickly packed up their picnic blankets and supplies.

After putting his outdoor bag on his shoulder, Xu Yiyu glanced at the treasure hunting team that had made all preparations for departure, and then turned his gaze to the depths of the Al Mountains.

What she, Xu, and the other members are about to face next is real danger.
