Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 270 Hongmen Banquet

On the way to the main house, Abile quickly explained to Li Lin what was going on.

However, Li Lin could see that even though she was born in the Philos family, she was still an ignorant little girl, even simpler than Orianna and Seraphine, and she would feel nervous talking to a stranger like him.

After some messy explanations, Li Lin managed to extract a general context from Abier's narration, and then made a summary based on his own knowledge and understanding:

A few days ago, Camille approached Li Lin and went back to Philos' home. Since he failed to succeed, he forced him to agree to make a Hex core for Stevan, so that Stewan could undergo Hex augmentation surgery.

Stevan didn't expect his sister to miss, and he was very angry about it, and complained to Camille.

Camille, who was beaten up by Li Lin, was in a bad mood. Coupled with Stevan's bad attitude, she couldn't help but quarreled with him on the spot.

Later, Camille basically seemed to be a different person, almost never showing up at home, and she was mysterious every day, not knowing what she was doing.

The same is true for Stevan, who arranged for people to follow Li Lin, and tried to send people to sneak into Gilaman's house, looking for opportunities to spy on his process of making the Hex core.

It's a pity that Li Lin was already building the defense system of Gilaman Manor at that time. Combined with the brain and the camera, the Philos spies failed to achieve their goals.

Evolution Day is approaching, and Stevan witnessed Li Lin's new technology and enjoyment of the future at the Evolution Day Conference, and his heart became more depressed, and his thoughts on Hex's core grew deeper.

Later, Camille seemed to have discovered something, and had a big fight with Stewan, and then called Abil to her room every day, asking her to learn something she shouldn't have learned.

For example, how to deal with the world, how to arrange family affairs, how to solve various major problems and problems, etc.

Tonight, knowing that Stevan sent his confidant Bonnard to meet Li Lin and lead him to visit Lanxun Manor, Camille also sent Abier to send Bonnard away, and asked her to take Li Lin Lin went to see himself.

Of course, most of the content here is made up by Li Lin himself.

If we simply summarize it according to Abier's description, only my aunt and uncle had two quarrels and conflicts, and then my aunt began to ask her to study...

When we arrived at the main house, more servants passed by in the corridor.

Abile restrained his childlike style, and began to imitate adults with a stern face.

According to her previous statement, it was Camille who taught her to show the seriousness of a "superior" outside.

But according to Li Lin's observation, these servants seemed to be familiar with it.

Maybe in their opinion, Abil has found something interesting recently.

After all, she is just an innocent girl of fourteen or fifteen years old...

It was less than half an hour before the party started.

Li Lin and Aibil climbed the steps and soon reached the top floor of the main house.

Turning and turning in the maze-like corridor, the two finally stopped in front of a very ordinary wooden door that didn't even have carved decorations.

dong dong dong-

Abile looked nervous, stretched out his small hand and knocked lightly on the door three times, then turned the handle carefully.

With a soft "squeak", she slowly pushed the door open.

Contrary to Li Lin's stereotyped prediction, Camille was holding tea and sitting in a very dim environment without any lights. The only light source was the blue light from the core of Hex on her body.

The room is extremely bright and bright, with powered chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and small table lamps with uniform styles and exquisite workmanship are placed on the surrounding small tables.

On the wall facing the door, there are two chairs next to a simple and elegant table, and Camille, who is wearing a gray and white tuxedo, is sitting on one of the chairs, holding a teacup in her hand, taking a sip of tea .

Seeing Li Lin and Abile enter the room, Camille motioned to her grandniece to lock the door, then asked Li Lin to sit on the chair next to her, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and pushed it across to her.

"Let's have a cup of tea first."

"Thank you."

Li Lin thanked him, without being polite at all, went straight to Camille and sat down, picked up the teacup, blew on the hot air, and took a sip.

Abil, who had just locked the door and turned around, saw the scene in front of him, couldn't help but covered his mouth, widened his eyes, and almost exclaimed.

what's going on? !

The relationship between my aunt and Mr. Li Lin is so good?

I just complained to Mr. Li Lin about how my aunt forced me to study...

Terrible, what should I do now!

Abil's little face gradually turned pale, and his beating heart was about to jump out of his throat.

It's just that Li Lin and Camille's attention and topic were not on her at all.

"You're still here." Camille couldn't help sighing as she looked at Li Lin who was drinking tea with her crystal blue electronic prosthetic eyes.

Li Lin put the exquisite teacup on the snow-white tray, raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Huh? Shouldn't I come?"

"You really shouldn't have come..."

Camille looked hesitant to speak.

"This is the invitation letter sent to me by the owner of Stewan. Your brother signed and sent it to me. Wouldn't it be shameful for me not to come?"

Li Lin leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, as if he regarded this place as his own home, and seemed a little free and undisciplined.

Moreover, Camille didn't care about his behavior.

Aibil on the side felt that he was "petrified", and his mind went blank.

"It's a conspiracy."

Li Lin was not too surprised by Camille's words, and still had a calm expression.

He had long expected that this party might be a grand banquet, after all, he had once refused Camille to make a Hex core for Stevan.

"You're not surprised?"

"I'm not surprised." Li Lin shook his head, and turned his gaze to the sluggish Aibier, "But I'm curious about one thing, you say this in front of her... is it really okay?"

"She will be the next head of the family, and it's time to understand some of the dark side of the family."

"Oh, I get it."

Li Lin knew that Camille would support a new puppet master after killing his younger brother, as if he was his relative.

It's just that it's been too long since the time of time travel, and he has a lot of things to do during the period, and he has forgotten a lot of details about the background.

When Camille said this, Li Lin remembered that the puppet master she supported was her grandniece.

What he didn't expect was that Ai Bier would be such an innocent little girl.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Lin came to a realization again.

After what happened with Stevan, it is easier to control everything by choosing a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

Camille looked at his plain expression, wondering, "Aren't you surprised by this?"

"It's normal, you found me before the banquet, you have already discovered your brother's secret..."

It was at this moment that Abil, who had just reacted, let out an exclamation of unknown meaning: "Well-aunt, grandma, you just said, you want, you want me to be, be the head of the house?!"

"That's right, I wanted to tell you about this later... Well, to be precise, after tonight."

After saying that, Camille ignored Abil, Hex's prosthetic eyes flashed with blue light, and stared at Li Lin's eyes very seriously.

"You're right, I discovered Stevan's dirty little secret." She almost spit out each word with a slightly sad expression, "Hex's core blueprint, he has always kept a backup, and there is no such thing as Destroy it as we agreed."

Li Lin didn't interrupt, and gave Camille enough time to tell what happened from the Evolution Day to the present.

"I confronted Stevan with the blueprint, but he said it was found from a certain alchemy baron in Zaun. I saw that he was lying and didn't expose him at the time.

"Later, I found out that he secretly met a girl who was underage but very athletic without telling me. Stevan gave her a fortune and ordered her to customize a good weapon for himself, and then went to ..."

Just as she was speaking, Camille's words stopped abruptly, and the operation of the Hex core in her chest made a faint noise.

She took a deep breath and continued: "Go to Hakim...Stevan already knows where Hakim has lived in seclusion for decades."

When he heard that the family was so secretive, Abil's breathing gradually became short of breath, he couldn't hold his breath, and stammered: "Auntie, grandma, why don't I, I, I go out..."

When she was a child, she heard her father tell about Camille's former lovers, but there were not many of them.

Later, she questioned her eldest brother Yabus, who had always loved her, but he was seriously warned not to talk about such things.

The young Abile had never seen Yabus showing such an expression, and he had a shadow of Camille in his heart.

But then Camille loved her grandniece very much, and her performance in all aspects was not as horrible as what Yabus said. This shadow was deeply buried in her heart.

But now...

Yabusi's warning brought back Abil's long-forgotten memories.

Why do I always encounter this kind of thing!

Abile wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Don't be nervous about Abil, this is something you should understand." Camille tried to comfort her in a calm tone.

Then, she continued to talk about the follow-up events; "Before the girl left Piltover, I found her, tortured her, and knew that her name was Afye, and Hadley actually returned to his home after so many years. My hometown, Shurima, is in Kenneth."

Camille was a little absent-minded, and murmured in a low voice: "I should have known... other than here, the only place he can go is his former home..."

After a pause for a few seconds, she took a few deep breaths, suppressed the sadness welling up in her heart, and returned to the expressionless state, "Sorry, I lost my composure."

"That girl, you..."

"I killed her, it's obvious." Before Li Lin finished speaking, Camille replied, "Since she chose this path, she knows her possible end."

"I thought you would let the tiger go back to the mountain." Li Lin chuckled, "So...does Stephen know about this?"

Camille hesitated for a while, "I am the top secret agent of the family, and all the secret agents of the Philos family were trained by me. As far as I know, no one can surpass me."

Which means Stevan doesn't know about his planned bankruptcy.

Li Lin nodded, "Then tonight's 'Hongmen Banquet', do you know the specific arrangements for Stevan?"

"Hongmen Banquet?"

"Well, it's his plot... I mean, the plan."

"There's nothing wrong with talking about a conspiracy."

After understanding what Li Lin meant, Camille's expression gradually became gloomy.

"He thinks he has kept it from me, and he did it perfectly, but he doesn't realize that compared to himself, I am the one who knows him best.

"He wants to use a special magical toxin, which is similar to the sleeping flower used by Verizel who kidnapped the congressman a year ago, but it can also work on me.

"Stevan wants to force you to make a hex core for him, and if you don't agree, he'll kill you, and then..."

Camille didn't finish her sentence, Li Lin naturally knew what she wanted to express.

If I disagree, Camille's hex core is a backup, just like the one in the original world line.

"But, but... Aunt and grandpa, haven't you always had a good relationship with your uncle?" Abil finally couldn't bear it, and mustered up the courage to interject.

"Everything is subject to change, children, especially people's hearts... This is the thing that cannot stand the test of time among all things in the world."

Camille uttered a philosophy that Li Lin had never heard in the game.

"Remember what I said, Abil, no matter when, you can't completely trust a person...even if he is your favorite relative."

I think that this thing can't be killed with a stick, in fact, it has something to do with the individual.

Li Lin has a different view in his heart.

But he is not an atmosphere and topic terminator, saying such words on such an inappropriate occasion.

He was silent for a long time, and looked up at Camille, "What are you going to do?"

And she only said four words: "Clean the door."
