Chapter 13 The Final Plan
The whole interstellar was now under heavy guard.
Shang Xu took us back to his secret villa.
In the bedroom, he removed the rough bandage and redressed my wound.
Looking at the scene that felt like another lifetime, I deliberately turned my face away.
Shang Xu pressed his lips together. "Do not be angry anymore, Ji Shutong. I did not mean those words back then. I did not want to hurt you."
Tears rushed out at once.
So he knew it would hurt me.
Back then I dreamed of his cold face every night and woke up crying.
I still refused to look at him.
Shang Xu said helplessly, "Actually, four years ago when I first entered Extreme North Prison I already noticed the Queen's problem. A time bomb had been installed on me. I did not want to drag you down."
I turned back with tears. "In your eyes I am just a coward? I am not afraid of death at all."
Shang Xu held me and apologized gently, "All right. Our Ji Shutong is the bravest. It was me who judged your heart with my own small mind."
My tears soaked his shirt.
I looked up. "For the Empire, we must take down the Queen."
Shang Xu looked grave. "I did not want to involve you, but now it seems only you can do this."
Me?
He told me the plan.
Three days later, I returned to the Royal Palace as a Correction Officer who had arrested two S-level prisoners to receive my reward.
