At that night, Jiang Yue made a call to Gideon and told him that she was coming to M Country. However, to her surprise, the latter did not agree with her plans and told her that it would be too dangerous at that moment.
He even told her not to go to M Country in the following month. Even if she used a disguise, everyone would be waiting for her arrival, so it would be difficult for Jiang Yue to get past the authorities waiting for her. Of course, Gideon was not aware that Jiang Yue was already in the country at this time.
The King's panicky words instantly puzzled Jiang Yue. It was not even a week since he was trying to convince her to come to M Country. Yet, now, he was telling her that it would be too dangerous.
Jiang Yue had a sleepless night after her talk with Gideon. The night in the city was too strange, too quiet for her. As if, a great storm was coming.
And just like what she had expected, she received a call that morning from Shen Rong. She was using a landline while telling Jiang Yue that she was arrested for attempting to murder her cousin Shen Jingsi.
The whole Shen Family also provided some incriminating evidence against Shen Rong. They had even asked Shen Rong's family to leave and told them that they would cut all the ties with them after what Shen Rong had done to Shen Jingsi.
Jiang Yue immediately ask if she could pose a bail, but Shen Rong said that it was a high profile case, as her cousin was a celebrity. A lot of Shen Jingsi's fans wanted to attack Shen Rong. Thus, the police were prompted to treat the case with caution. They would not agree to let her pay the bail until she got a piece of proper evidence, which would prove that she was not the one, who paid Shen Jingsi's attacker.
The police also used the reasoning that they wanted to keep Shen Rong safe from Shen Jingsi's fans, who were threatening to kill her for hurting their idol.
"This must be the reason Gideon warned me not to come last night," she said after her call with Shen Rong ended.
"I have called some of my men to stand outside of the Police Station." Fu Jin said. "Do you want to get her out of prison?"
"Not now..." She answered instantly before calling Bai'Li. "Hey, I need your help."
An hour after Shen Rong called, a shocking news rocked the Tech Industry in B Country. Jiang Yue agreed to collaborate with M Country's military team for a piece of brand new equipment, which would be enhanced by an Artificial Intelligence system.
No one predicted that Jiang Yue would eventually agree to collaborate with M Country, but many did not find this collaboration surprising at all. After all, M Country's technology was really advanced. It would only be reasonable for Jiang Yue to work with them.
Not long after the news was released, the media of M Country got ahold of the news and wanted to know when Jiang Yue would visit the country. They tried and called some government officials to confirm that news, yet, everyone seemed to be unaware of this collaboration.
"That woman is very smart." the Queen narrowed her eyes as her hands slowly squeezed into fists. She was sure that this news had been intentionally released by Jiang Yue to attract the media's attention. She wanted everyone to know when she would arrive.
If her guess was right, then Jiang Yue had already contacted the media to receive an interview, the moment she stepped out of the plane.
"Mother... That woman is very clever. Do you think she has any idea about our plans?"
"Of course not! She was just getting prepared for the worst ahead of time! She must have known from that useless Zhang Family that I was the one, who has sent them to check her out!" She fumed before looking at her son. "Don't worry, the throne is yours. I promise that woman won't even have the chance to step inside this palace!"
"Gideon is dying. The poison is perfectly doing its job… I'm sure Gideon won't last for too long." She added.
While the Queen was stressing out about this, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were also working on the evidence that could help Shen Rong get out of the prison.
Jiang Yue was able to gain access to the evidence that the Shen Family had produced. From the evidence, she was able to deduce that everything had already been planned long before Shen Rong arrived in the country.
The most amusing thing was that the only evidence that they had was an image of Shen Rong in a cafe, signing a piece of paper with a man. The same man was also captured on the CCTV records as the person, who drove the car and intentionally bumped into Shen Jingsi.
Jiang Yue instantly smirked as she remembered her conversation with Shen Rong when that man approached her and told her that he was a fan of her work. She remembered Shen Rong thanking the man before giving him her autograph.
The only thing that people did not know about was that Jiang Yue had a habit of always recording her phone calls.
