NovelEnglish1762 Mistress
The doctors did not dare to move at all. Zhuo Yun was holding them with a gun to their heads.
“I don’t think so.” Zhuo Yun spoke softly. “If you don’t hand over Miss Huo, these doctors can only wait out here.”
The doctors were Morey’s lifeline. With every moment they wasted out here, Morey would slowly die inside.
Countess Kerr finally felt scared. Things were not going as planned at all.
She did not expect the Huo family to disregard the count’s prestige along with all the influential families, government officials, and elders present.
“How dare you? Do you know the consequences of doing this?” Countess Kerr inhaled deeply and attempted to use her status to pressure them.

Even though the Weapons Bureau did not have the same kind of power as the Investigation Bureau, it was free of government involvement. Moreover, they provided checks and balances toward weapon advancement in each country.
Even the royalty would not offend the Weapons Bureau if they could avoid it.
Who did Morey think he was?
After all, the royalty could always replace Count Kerr.
When Countess Kerr heard this, she was briefly stunned. At this moment, she finally noticed that Zhuo Yun was not wearing the Huo family’s crest.
Wasn’t he from the Huo family?
Someone behind her had already recognized Zhuo Yun and said in shock, “Doesn’t he look like the guy who works for the Weapons Bureau? Isn’t he the chairman’s aide?”
“What do you mean by ‘looks like’? It’s clearly him!”
“If Zhuo Yun is here, does it mean the chairman of the Weapons Bureau is here as well?”
Min Yu rarely appeared in public. Instead, Zhuo Yun took care of a lot of important matters, so people only recognized him. Even if Min Yu showed up in front of them, it would not dawn on them that he was the chairman of the Weapons Bureau.
When Countess Kerr heard the guests’ chatting, her mind instantly went blank.
What was her husband trying to do?
The girl they targeted was from the Huo family. Why was she involved with the chairman of the Weapons Bureau?
Also, Zhuo Yun had referred to her as his mistress.
After Countess Kerr digested the information with great difficulty, she finally thought about the guest whom her husband was talking to in the side hall. He was probably the chairman of the Weapons Bureau.

Countess Kerr inhaled deeply and forced herself to calm down. She looked at Zhuo Yun. “Mr. Zhuo, do you think this is right? After all, my husband just took a shot for your boss. How could you do this to his savior?”
“Savior?” Zhuo Yun looked sideways at Countess Kerr. “Are you sure?”
“Of course! If my husband didn’t take the shot for him, he would not have gotten severely injured!” Countess Kerr instinctively retorted.
Zhuo Yun smiled ambiguously. “Countess Kerr wasn’t present, yet you know everything so clearly. I can’t help but wonder if there’s more to this.”
Countess Kerr’s face turned stiff. “Something happened to my husband. Isn’t it understandable for me to find out how he got shot?”
“Of course, it’s understandable. The question is the count has already fainted and my boss was the only witness. How did you get to know so much?”
Despite Zhuo Yun’s soft tone, he cut straight to the chase.
The questions left Countess Kerr’s hands sweating coldly. She parted her lips for some time but was unable to say a word.
“Allow me to remind you. We can afford to wait, but I can’t say the same for the count.”
