"If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come to me." Ryan looked at Shen Zhexi, and said very seriously, "Don't lie to me."

Shen Zhexi was startled when she heard the words.

He knew that Marshal was a very nice person, and he had helped him more than once. Sometimes the two would chat about their daily life, and they seemed no different from ordinary friends.

But maybe it was because of the difference in status and the gossip and gossip before that he was always used to avoiding the existence of the marshal.

If the marshal finds him, he will definitely respond to the other party as soon as possible, but on the contrary, he is unwilling to take the initiative to cause more trouble for the other party.

So when he heard what the marshal said to him, he couldn't help being moved.

He really didn't expect that the marshal would say such a promise to him, as if telling him: From today on, I will protect you.

Recalling that when I first arrived here, Shen Zhexi was also lying on the bed, looking for various information about the ancient earth in a daze, and realized that I should not be able to go back, and I will stay in this strange world to survive from now on. It is inevitable that there will be a bit of sadness and indifference.

But now, he is no longer alone.

He has friends who understand him, and a marshal who wants to protect him.

The corners of Shen Zhexi's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, and he replied softly, "Okay."

After getting out of bed, Shen Zhexi inexplicably felt that she was full of energy, and all the fatigue and weakness just now disappeared.

After washing up, the two went downstairs to have brunch together.

When she went downstairs, Shen Zhexi heard the midday news from the TV in the living room.

It seemed that a reporter in front was reporting some front-line news at a fast speed.

Mo is wearing a small royal blue apron today, which matches the owner's eyes, and he is pushing the small dining cart to serve food seriously.

Seeing plate after plate of unknown food being brought to the table, Shen Zhexi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Mo, these are...?"

After setting the last plate, Mo looked up and said, "This is a nourishing meal I tailor-made for you."

Shen Zhexi: "..."

Due to Mo's serious expression, Shen Zhexi sat down obediently and picked up the spoon.

"Mo has been guarding you outside the room last night. It has been busy charging overnight. Try it." Ryan took the initiative to explain to Shen Zhexi.

A shy expression hangs on the small screen on Mo's chest, "No, no! Actually last night, the owner didn't..."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw his master suddenly filled a spoonful of vegetable soup and stuffed it into its open mouth.

Mo chewed with a question mark on his face, and looked at his master, "Master, I don't need to eat."

Ryan calmly changed a new spoon and replied, "It's good to replenish your brain."

Mo: "..."

Seeing Mo staring at herself with an aggrieved expression of "Is the master scolding me?", although Shen Zhexi didn't understand what the master and servant were for, she quickly lowered her head and fed herself a spoonful of vegetable soup.

Because it is specially used to nourish Shen Zhexi's body and recuperate, the taste of the vegetable soup is really not delicious, but Shen Zhexi still takes one spoonful after another.

Just as Shen Zhexi was trying to drink the soup, he finally noticed what was being broadcast on the noon news at the moment.

On the screen, reporters from different media organizations are swarming outside the gate of the Imperial Administration Hall, waiting for the appearance of Grand Duke Charles.

Most of them have already rushed here in the middle of the night, just to grab a good position for interviews and photos.

After all, this time it is about the grand duke's nephew Homan, so there must be more headlines.

Shen Zhexi stared at the picture on the TV, and slowly put down the spoon, "Marshal, is this... because of what happened yesterday?"

Lane nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the reporters on the screen suddenly exclaimed.

"Out!"

"It really came out!"

"It's Grand Duke Charles!"

A group of reporters and cameras rushed towards the main entrance of the hall, and it was dark as far as the eye could see.

Not long after, Grand Duke Charlie finally came out of the hall in formal attire.

The Grand Duke, who was already over fifty years old, had an unconcealable exhaustion on his face, and a lot of anger in his eyes.

"Grand Duke—do you know about your nephew Homan's abduction of a civilian girl?!"

"Grand Duke, may I ask if you have contacted Lord Homan at present?"

"Where is Mr. Homan now—"

A series of questions rushed towards the Grand Duke like a flood. Originally, they thought that the Grand Duke would rely on the guards to forcefully break through and leave this place. All the reporters were mentally prepared, but unexpectedly, the Grand Duke would just stay where he was. It was so overwhelming to be surrounded like this.

It seems that he is ready to be interviewed, Ryan thought in front of the TV.

Sure enough, after a while, the Grand Duke's deputy began to control the order present, signaling to the reporters to be quiet, and the Grand Duke was willing to accept everyone's interviews.

The reporters surrounding them finally fell silent.

Grand Duke Charlie lowered his head and sighed heavily, then raised his head again, and began to speak to the media reporters.

"Everyone, it's a pity that we are gathered here for my unworthy nephew. If I had known that today would happen, I would have used family law to break Homan's leg, so that he would not have the opportunity to go out and commit crimes!"

The reporters who had prepared a bunch of pungent questions to ask suddenly fell silent.

No one expected that the always strong Grand Duke not only took the initiative to accept the interview, but also took the initiative to bow his head to the public and public opinion.

"Things have already happened, and the result is irreversible. Please give me some more time. I will definitely try my best to make up for the losses of the victims. I will punish Homan severely and never tolerate his mistakes!"

Now the reporters are in a mess.

Before they asked anything, the Grand Duke explained everything at once, without even a reason to ask.

From receiving an anonymous report in the middle of the night, to rushing over to watch the shift in a hurry, I didn't expect it to be in vain, and I didn't catch any explosive scenes.

After the Grand Duke finished speaking, the court gradually cleared up.

The picture of the news was also taken back and transferred to the host of the TV station.

Shen Zhexi, who had been watching the news intently, felt mixed feelings for a while.

It seems that someone reported Homan's abduction of Xue'er yesterday and the atrocities, but judging from the reporter's questioning just now, it seems that no one mentioned about him.

Seeing Shen Zhexi's doubts, Ryan explained: "I didn't expose your matter."

Although the accident took place in the bar area, it happened to be the time when the bar had the least business. In addition, Homan intentionally cleared the venue, and maybe even booked the venue directly. Certainly convenient.

Moreover, the situation of Xueer and Shen Zhexi was different. She was bullied but not drugged; while Shen Zhexi was drugged but did not suffer the most substantial harm.

Moreover, that drug is the latest banned drug launched by the L organization on the black market, and it involves many hidden interests. If it is revealed together, more forces will inevitably be involved.

After discussing with Dolan, Ryan chose to conceal the fact that Shen Zhexi was drugged because he wanted to protect him.

If it really broke out at the same time, not only would it be difficult for Shen Zhexi to get any real benefits, but he would immediately become a thorn in the side of the drug interest group, not counting Grand Duke Charlie and the others.

And a nobleman like Grand Duke Charlie has the most face. When he knows that the abducted civilian girl is the Shen family that most people in the empire have heard of, he will definitely help cover up Xue'er's identity and minimize the public opinion.

As for the fact that Shen Zhexi was banned from the black market, as long as she wasn't a real fool, she would definitely try to cover it up. Who would want to offend multiple forces at the same time?

After such calculations, it is undoubtedly the best solution at the moment to only expose Xueer as a victim.

After listening to Ryan's explanation, Shen Zhexi deeply felt the intricate relationship between the forces behind it.

I can't help but get scared in my heart.

He had really heard of this L organization before. It is said that it is a drug organization that can move sideways in the black market.

After lunch, Ryan, who had taken half a day off, had to go to work in the military.

Shen Zhexi rested for a while, feeling that she was in much better health, so she planned to see how his cousin was doing.

After all, the marshal has said that his cousin's situation will not be very good.

The Marshal specially called Dolan, and wanted to ask him to help escort Shen Zhexi, lest Homan, who was cornered, would make another move.

Dolan on the other end of the phone immediately responded to the matter, but he also said: "Horman's legs have been discounted, and he is not allowed to use drugs. He has already applied for long-term sick leave. He won't be able to come out for a while. .”

The author has something to say: After this incident, Xixi will officially have a winter vacation, so what should I do?
