Chapter 1813 This is your sin
Lu Yanjue spoke quickly, his tone without any warmth: "Princess, you think too much. Today I am not here for Ruoli, but for those people who were almost harmed."
At this point, he waved his hand, threw out a list, and said, "King, you might as well take a look at the list of guests who appeared in the club last night. Among them, there are children of nobles, descendants of major companies in Country G, and even high-end research talents from the Royal Research Institute.
But because of an accident, they almost all died in that club.
I just want to ask, do you know what the consequences would be if we didn't retreat in time last night?"
After hearing this, the king quickly took it and glanced at the list on it. His expression changed after reading it.
He never expected that the list above would be so shocking.
Everyone inside is a well-known figure in Country G.
If there had been an explosion last night and the fire had gotten out of control, these people might have been buried in there, and then... the situation would have become very tricky.
How could he not know the seriousness of this matter?
The king was in mixed emotions at the moment and was speechless for a moment.
Lu Yanjue noticed that his expression had changed drastically, so he said, "It seems that the king has realized the seriousness of the matter. That's fine."
Then, he turned his cold eyes to Princess Cindy and continued, "Let's talk about Princess Cindy again. You allowed your men to set fire to the club under Katie's orders, but you claimed that you knew nothing about it. Do you really think that your brother and I are easy to fool?"
Princess Xindi continued to argue, "It's possible that they were my subordinates and had been bribed by Katie. Katie couldn't hold it back, so she pinned the blame on me. I won't accept such a serious charge."
Lu Yanjue felt extremely disgusted when he saw Princess Cindy who was still quibbling.
As a member of the royal family, he had no awareness of the seriousness of the matter.
Today, no matter what, she must bear the consequences and give everyone an explanation.
Lu Yanjue's eyes were cold and he said sarcastically, "Your guards were assigned to you by your brother, right? Did you know that when they were trained, they were ordered to obey the orders of their master alone. If they did not get permission and were not ordered by outsiders, even if it was the king himself, it would not work."
When Princess Cindy heard this, her face changed.
The closest guard to her was indeed newly assigned to her by her brother, in order to better protect her safety and to keep an eye on her...
After all, she was in a bad mood some time ago.
Therefore, the king did not tell her about this.
I never expected that I would be exposed here.
Princess Cindy subconsciously glanced at the king with an expression of disbelief.
Why haven't you ever told her about this?
The king frowned and glared at her.
Then he seemed to consider whether to plead for his sister.
However, Lu Yanjue did not give this opportunity.
He told the king: "Yesterday's dangerous situation has aroused the anger of the people. Today, many people petitioned the police station and asked the royal family to investigate this terrible accident.
Just now, the news broke, and the king was thinking, how should we deal with this matter? "
His tone was calm, but it was not a question, but rather sharp.
In his opinion, if the king had not repeatedly indulged the princess and turned a blind eye to her behavior, how could Princess Cindy have behaved so willfully and recklessly?
The king's face froze when he heard this...all the words were stuck in his throat.
If Lu Yanjue came here for Jiang Ruoli, then he could try to negotiate in private, and there might still be a chance to save the situation.
But unexpectedly, Lu Yanjue moved out the masses.
He has just ascended the throne and the people's hearts are still unstable. If he defends his sister at this time and the news gets out, it will make the people disappointed in him as the new king.
By that time, if we lose the support of the people, how can we govern the country?
Thinking of this, the king did not dare to act rashly and did not know what to do for a moment.
On one side is his sister, and on the other side is the people's support.
This was indeed very difficult for him.
Cindy's heart sank when she saw her brother was silent.
She also didn't expect that Lu Yanjue would use this trick.
She felt a chill in her heart, and for the first time, she felt how terrifying the man in front of her was.
He obviously wanted to vent Jiang Ruoli's anger, but he deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the whole matter to force her.
Princess Cindy quickly came over and reminded the king, "Brother, the people don't know the real situation of this matter at all."
The implication is that as long as she doesn't admit it, others won't know it was her who did it.
How could the king not understand the meaning of her words?
But Lu Yanjue interrupted her fantasy and said, "Last night, among the guests in the club was the son of Count Fari! You should know his identity, he is the cousin of the third prince! He was the one who broke the news on the Internet, open your eyes and take a good look! This is your sin!"
As he spoke, he threw the tablet beside him, on which was the headlines of the webpage.
The content clearly stated that the person who set fire to the club last night might be Princess Cindy of the royal family.
The news was so straightforward, obviously not intending to let her get away with it easily and trying to arouse public outrage.
Lu Yanjue said in a cold voice: "After my people found out about this, they suppressed it immediately, so the heat didn't rise. If I hadn't intervened, do you think you could still stand here and talk to me properly?"
Princess Cindy looked pale.
She didn't expect that things would be so serious.
She just wanted to use Katie to punish Jiang Ruoli.
The king also looked unhappy.
But he knew clearly in his heart that unless he went along with Lu Yanjue in today's incident, his sister would not be able to escape.
The king took a deep breath and asked Lu Yanjue, "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
"We can suppress the news and hide it from the public for now. However, most of the guests last night know about it. What do you think the king should do to appease the public anger?"
Lu Yanjue asked back, leaving the decision to the king.
The king looked at him with a stern gaze.
Lu Yanjue's eyes were indifferent, but his aura was not weaker than his at all, but even stronger.
After a long while, the king finally gave in and said, "Cindy...hand her over to the Punishment Hall and punish her according to the rules!"
The king wanted to protect his sister, but he was powerless under the current circumstances.
Lu Yanjue threw the decision-making power into his hands and asked him to make a choice.
Therefore, it is impossible to cover up.
If we don't appease the public anger, no one knows what kind of trouble will arise.
So after thinking it over again and again, I decided to let Cindy bear the consequences of her own actions.
"Brother, are you crazy?"
Princess Cindy's heart trembled, her face full of disbelief.
Her own brother actually agreed to send her to the Punishment Hall!!!
