When Nuo Te appeared in front of Xia Zuo, she had a completely new look.

Her long curly hair was coiled up and adorned with a silver hair accessory.The light makeup concealed her haggard face, and she looked much more energetic.Because of the wound on her hand, she had to choose a long-sleeved white dress, which made her elegant and beautiful.

Xia Zuo was proud, this is his daughter, so beautiful.

"Dear daughter, welcome home." Xia Zuo stood up and opened his arms.

"Daddy, I'm afraid..." Notte threw herself into his arms, buried her face in his chest, and couldn't help but shed tears.Only at this moment did she realize that the only people she really trusted and relied on were her own family members.

She looked at Xia Zuo for help, "Daddy, is there no other way? I don't want to marry someone like that..."

"Don't be afraid. I will be with you." Xia Zuo hugged his only daughter distressedly, but he couldn't persuade his daughter to escape.Because their surname is Merovingian, they can live a life that ordinary people do not have, and because their surname is Merovingian, they have to sacrifice for what ordinary people do not have.He had to persuade her to sacrifice for her family, just like himself, "But, Notte, you can't escape."

Xia Zuo pulled Nuote to sit down, and asked gently, "My daughter, do you remember your identity?"

"Remember. I will be the future head of the Merovingian family, but not the decision-maker. Just like the king in a constitutional monarchy." Nuo Te lay on Xia Zuo's shoulder, with a muffled voice, "That's why the training I have received since childhood It's about human interaction."

"This is your own choice." Xia Zuo touched her face lovingly, "I don't care who will be the head of the family in the future, as long as you are a little happier. But things have come to this point, Nuo Te, you need to consider choosing again. gone."

"There are only three days left to get engaged." A look of despair appeared on Notte's face, "It's too late."

"How could it be too late?" Xia Zuo's voice was extremely gentle, "You are only 16 years old, and you still have a lot of beautiful years. Can a Magnussen ruin the rest of your life?" Pause , he sighed, "I protected you too well...but now you have to be strong, you know?"

The collar of the skirt that Notte wore was very low, revealing her delicate collarbone.Xia Zuo touched the bloody reverse cross on her shoulder, "It is said that the person with the red cross in the Merovingian family is destined to be the king of a country. But you are the reverse cross, we don't understand why, but they believe that you are destined to be extraordinary ,I believe too."

"The cross is opposite, maybe you are destined to suffer more than others." Xia Zuo murmured.

"Father." Nautella grabbed his sleeve, looked up at him, his eyes were shining brightly, "I can do it, trust me."

"Everything will pass." Xia Zuo wiped away the tears on her face, and hugged her gently, "Trust me."

"Ah."

"Oh, dear. Your mother misses you very much, go and see her." Xia Zuo patted her shoulder reassuringly, and reasoned her lightly.

"Okay, I'll go now." Notte wiped away tears.Her mommy can't bear it in her heart, and she needs to coax her mother back to this matter.

Xia Zuo watched Nuo Te leave, his eyes sank, and he raised his hand to ring the bell.

His assistant came in, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Go, spread the news of Nott's engagement. We must ensure that the British side can get the news, and we must pay attention to it, so that this matter cannot be suppressed in the future."

"Yes, sir."

Xia Zuo looked at the wall in a daze.

Should he say that Notte deserves to be his daughter?The two men he picked up might be able to help him out of this predicament if he used them well.

There are two flowers, one on each side.

Nuote left and turned off the phone after sending a breakup text message very irresponsibly.Sherlock checked the GPS and found that the location had been outside the airport, and it was obvious that she had thrown the phone away.

It can be seen that she is determined to break up with him, and Sherlock is very irritable because of this, and the direct expression is that the smiling faces on the wall are almost turned into solid circles by him.

After Sherlock finished playing, he started to play the piano, and played all night.The first thing I said to Watson early the next morning was——

"Watson, where is today's paper?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe it hasn't been delivered yet." Watson lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Sherlock's face.

He was nervous all night, if he knew the news that his girlfriend, Pipa, was engaged to someone else overnight, he would really have a hard time living this day.

Sherlock had no interest in poking him at all, and took out the newspaper that Watson crumpled up from the trash can

Watson: "..."

He quickly reached out to grab the newspaper, but Sherlock reacted faster and easily avoided Watson's attack by virtue of his height advantage.

Watson: "..."

This day is over.

Sherlock opened the newspaper, flipped through a few pages quickly, and paused with his fingers.

Miss Merovingian was engaged to Mr. Magnussen three days later!

There is not much content under the capitalized title, not even a group photo, but a brief introduction of the information of the engaged parties, forcing it to be a match made in heaven.

Watson comforted him cautiously, "Magnussen is over 40 years old. Obviously, this is a business marriage. Sherlock, you still have a chance." He knew in his heart that it was because of a business marriage that it was difficult However, if there is a change of heart and there is still a chance to save, the commercial marriage will basically not change.

Sherlock threw the newspaper and walked out.Watson stopped him, "Sherlock, what are you doing?" Don't go back to snatch a marriage, right?

"I'm going to Stoker."

"Oh." Watson breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became nervous again, "You won't fight him, will you?"

"Of course not, I'm just going to discuss about snatching a marriage." Sherlock added.

"Wait! I'll go too." Watson groaned in his heart. It might as well be a fight.

"You don't have to go." Stoke walked in with a sullen face, also holding a newspaper in his hand. "Because I'm here."

"It seems that we have reached an agreement on this matter. Then we can discuss specific arrangements." Sherlock quickly cut to the chase.

"Okay." Delrin lost his usual gentleness in front of Note, and was frighteningly gloomy, "But I still have a friend who wants to join."

"Sherlock, I didn't expect that I would cooperate with you one day."

Hearing this sound, Watson shuddered, and sure enough, he saw Moriarty walking in, also holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Welcome." Sherlock pointed to a chair casually, "Please sit down."

Moriarty and Sherlock seemed to be at odds, but sat on another chair. "I'm not interested in who Miss Merovingian will marry, but..." He smiled slyly, "I hope Magnussen is dead."

"No problem." Sherlock's voice was indifferent and terrifying, and he didn't take human life seriously at all.

"Oh, that's right." Moriarty said suddenly, "Mind if I bring a companion? He wants Magnussen dead just like me."

"Yes." Stoke nodded, "Of course, the more helpers, the better."

"That would be great," Moriarty called.

The handsome and mature man greeted him politely, "I'm Hannibal Lecter, from the United States." After speaking, he stood by Delrin's side, hinting his position.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows. Lecter, he deduced from a few words from Notte, seems to be a cannibal, a man, a madman, a demon.

Watson's intuition was that the situation was not very good. There were three people on Delrin's side, and on Sherlock's side, he might not be able to support half of them.

"It's so lively, don't you mind adding me?" Mycroft heard the voice first, obviously speaking to Sherlock, "I see the hope of the next generation of Sherlock Holmes in your girlfriend."

"As far as I know, Miss Meroving has already broken up with Sherlock, she is an ex-girlfriend." Moriarty did not forget to stab the knife at this time, and blew into the air, "Your hope is shattered."

At this moment, even Watson felt that his smile was particularly awkward.

"Now that everyone is here." Sherlock was abnormally calm at this time, "We can start discussing specific arrangements."

It seemed that six people sat down to discuss, but in fact Watson was very soft-spoken, and his opinions could basically be ignored.The outsider Hannibal didn't have a deep relationship with the others, and he always acted as a listener.The people present were divided into two factions, and they fought several times. Mycroft relied on his status and IQ to sit firmly in the command, and Stoke served as the second-in-command.Several people divide the work.

"So, what should I do?" Watson couldn't help but see that they had almost forgotten about themselves.

Mycroft glanced at him, "Doctor Watson, it's better for you to stay on Baker Street. If you join us, it will lower the IQ of the team."

"Mycroft!" Sherlock called out warningly.

"Okay." Mycroft shrugged compromisingly, "Watson, you are in charge of the logistics. The specific content is to stay at Baker Street to look after the house."

Watson: "..." There seems to be a big difference.

After the discussion was over, everyone left one by one.Sherlock was playing the violin, his expression still heavy.

"Sherlock, what are you still worried about?" Watson couldn't help asking.

"How many of them do you think are trustworthy?" Sherlock paused and asked.

Watson was silent.Who can be trusted?Even he may not be credible for McCoff's reason.

Sherlock's piano sound was suppressed, and Watson's heart sank little by little.
