Chapter 1392 Not Staying To Celebrate For Me?For the sake of his own reputation, Hammond would not kill Said either. However, banishing him was for certain.
Said long knew that he was not going to die. At the very most, he would be banished.
But he was so close. He was so, so close to being king.
But it had to be when Gu Jingze helped Hammond in the dark.
It could only be blamed that Gu Jingze hid things too well. After a long period of brewing, deliberating, and planning, it was really scary.
Meanwhile, on the outside…
Lin Che saw chaos on the streets. On the way to the airport, she got out of the car and was about to enter when someone in front suddenly stopped her.
“Miss.”
Lin Che got a fright. She looked up and saw Dong Zi standing in front of her.
Lin Che patted her chest.
“Dong Zi, you’re here.”
Dong Zi said, “Sorry I scared you, Miss.”
Lin Che shook her head. “Where is Shiyuan?”
“We’ve already made arrangements for Little Miss. Don’t worry, she is fine. When you left just now, we transferred Little Miss. She is now resting in a secure location. We found you after you left the palace. I have been following you secretly until it was safe to reveal myself to you.”
Lin Che understood and nodded. “What about Gu Jingze…”
“Sir is fine too. Don’t worry. I’ll take you over now.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Having gone through incident after incident, her personal guards have also matured.
She and Dong Zi soon arrived at a villa.
Gu Jingze was at the entrance. He saw Lin Che and stepped forward.
Lin Che ran into his arms.
Gu Jingze hugged her and gently patted her back. “Everything is fine now.”
Just then, they saw a line of soldiers walking in.
Lin Che panicked for a second. She looked up and saw that Hammond was right at the front in clad military uniform. He was smiling at Lin Che and Gu Jingze.
“Gu, Lin, you guys are together. Just in time, the palace is making preparations now. You guys can go over and take a look. We’re holding a memorial for the king soon.”
“Will it also be your enthronement ceremony?”
Hammond smiled. “Yes.”
Gu Jingze shook his head and held Lin Che close to him. “No thanks. We won’t be joining. You’re going to be king and everything has come full circle. I should go home.”
Hammond said pitifully, “You did such a huge favor for me. Aren’t you going to stay and celebrate with me?”
Gu Jingze said, “It’s too much of a wave. We’d prefer to rest quietly.”
Hammond heard this and shrugged. “Alright, then. I’ll get my people to send you off.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che beside him. His eyes were filled with warmth again.
Lin Che had just returned and she saw she already had received countless missed calls. Some were from the program team.
Lin Che called the program team.
The staff picked up her call and were extremely anxious.
“Lin Che, you’re finally contacting us. Where are you now? We’re stuck here and can’t go home. Can you look into this?”
Lin Che said, “Don’t panic. Some things cropped up here, but everything will get moving again real soon.”
“Oh, that’s good that’s good. You have people you know here, so you can ask around. Otherwise, the staff here can’t say why too. We have no idea what happened and are all worried sick.”
Lin Che said, “I’ll go take a look immediately. It’ll be fine. It should be all over already.”
Lin Che put down the phone and told Gu Jingze about it.
Gu Jingze said, “I’ll get Hammond to charter a plane for you guys.”
“Is the airport temporarily closed now?”
“The matter has just ended. Many people who cannot leave will leave with the crowd. Hammond will definitely guard against this. The airport will probably be closed to the public for the time being. It’s not good for you guys to stay for too long either.”
Lin Che nodded and listened to everything he said.
Lin Che rushed to the program group. Everyone was resting and waiting at the hotel for updates. The TV was on and everyone watched for any news. But nothing new came out from the TV and this made everyone more anxious.
Just then, Lin Che arrived. The program group immediately surrounded her.
“Sister Lin Che, you are finally back.”
“Sister Che, what should we do now?”
“Sister Che, do you know what’s happened?”
Lin Che said, “Alright, everyone, don’t panic. I’ve already asked around. We’ll have a flight back home tomorrow. Just prepare for it.”
After hearing Lin Che’s words, everyone immediately felt at ease.
“Really? That’s great.”
“We were getting too anxious waiting around here. We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to go home.”
“Exactly. Did something happen here?”
Lin Che said, “You’ll probably know in a few days. It’s not convenient for me to say anything now. Anyway, we can go home. Isn’t that all that matters?”
Everyone listened and knew that it was probably confidential so Lin Che could not say anything. She was right, anyway. They could go home and that was all that mattered. In any case, they would know everything that happened here when they got home.
When everyone heard this news, they were very happy. They packed up and got ready that night.
But some were skeptical. There was no clear news, but there would be a plane for them despite not seeing any planes around. Meanwhile, the news said that the airport was still closed and there would be no flights in and out.
Some naturally were worried. They wondered if Lin Che was telling the truth or if she was exaggerating.
But on the next day, someone really came to take them to the airport. Everyone then felt more relaxed.
When they arrived at the airport, Lin Che was also there. The airport lounge was empty and the outside was crowded with people asking when they could leave.
The group went in and really believed that they were indeed receiving special treatment. After all, other people could only wait outside. They couldn’t leave.
Not long after.
A staff member came in and said to them, “Everyone can get ready to board.”
“Ah, really? That’s great.”
The few mothers looked at Lin Che. “We owe you one.”
Lin Che smiled. “Not at all. I didn’t do anything.”
Cheng Huanhuan scoffed at the side. “Owe her? More like it was all because of her.”
Lin Che turned back and glanced at her. Just then, they heard the TV broadcast some news.
It was an announcement from the royal family.
The old king had indeed passed away and the new king’s identity was already confirmed. Hammond would assume the throne.
This was also written in the old king’s will and the result of a unanimous consent from all of the royal family members.
“Wow. So, there has been a political change for the past two days?”
“No way. Was there some palace conflict and that’s why the airport was on lockdown?”
“Hmph, how timely for us.”
