148 Strange Things Happen Every Year
Li Xiaofeng is not the kind of indecisive person. He is the kind of person who is anxious and moves forward with a goal. What's more, Princess Anne is also the confidante he pays special attention to. Not to mention that if there is a suspect, even if there is no one, he will turn Petrograd into the sky.
Without caring about the dust, Li Xiaofeng rushed out of the apartment like a gust of wind and ran wildly towards the direction of the Abramovich villa. So on this night, many pedestrians and passers-by on the streets of Petrograd witnessed a stunning scene. A black shadow flashed through the street like a ghost, causing a storm to blow people's eyes.
As a result, the front page headlines of many newspapers changed their attention to current affairs the next day, and vividly described the "supernatural incident". The charlatan with ulterior motives shamelessly interpreted the truth of the incident, saying that too many bloodshed and sacrificed since the revolution was caused by the unjust soul.
The perpetrator Li Xiaofeng naturally had no time to pay attention to all this, so he rushed into Abramovich's villa, and looked through the three floors inside and three floors outside, where was the shadow of Princess Anne? Li Xiaofeng was also a little hesitant about this. Could it be that Abramovich and his group did it? If not, then who was it?
Li Xiaofeng felt that he was extremely big and had no clues. Could it be that he really rummaged through Petrograd inch by inch? Even if he was an immortal, the pressure of doing this was not small, and his little immortal power was really unbearable. But if he didn't do this, where would he find clues? Princess Anne has been kidnapped for three days, and these three days are enough to happen a lot. Li Xiaofeng doesn't believe in the professional ethics of the kidnappers. With Princess Anne's beauty, it is normal for something disharmonious or inappropriate for children to happen.
When Li Xiaofeng thought of the delicate princess's wife being ravaged, he almost went crazy, but what's the use of madness? It can solve the problem? For a moment, Li Xiaofeng was extremely frustrated. For the first time, he found that he was so small that he could not even protect his beloved. Even if he could stand at the top of power, what's the point?
The confused Li Xiaofeng was wandering around the streets like a headless fly, and before he knew it, he actually walked to Princess Anne's villa in the suburbs. Thinking about the good days when the two of them lived and envied the gods more than ten days ago, and thinking about the miserable and miserable reality of life and death. Li Xiaofeng was so upset that he couldn't help but feel the idea of escaping from this place immediately and loading his head in a sand pit like an ostrich.
Just as he was about to flash, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from the villa, and the sound seemed to be a confrontation between several men and women. Li Xiaofeng frowned, and he was familiar with these voices. The oldest male voice was Princess Anne's housekeeper and the loyal Old François. As for the other three women and one man, the middle-aged female voice was Princess Anne's mother-in-law Princess Pali, the two young women were Princess Pali's daughters Elena and Nalita. As for the last young one, Paul's youngest son Vladimir Paulvich.
Li Xiaofeng was very strange. Logically speaking, as a servant, the old François was unlikely to quarrel with his master's mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, which was not in line with etiquette and even more in line with the rules. The loyal old François definitely did not make such a mistake on purpose.
Suddenly, Li Xiaofeng became interested, one of the wall-walking techniques and the other of the invisibility techniques, sneaked into the villa and saw what was going on.
"François, are you deliberately trying to refuse to save us, or do you want to embezzle our property!" Princess Pali shouted in a sharp voice.
Vladimir next to him was not polite, and said sarcastically: "He just got malicious and wanted my elder brother to die sooner!"
The remaining two little sparrows, Elena and Nalita, were not polite, chattering and saying some ugly words, constantly squeezing old François.
Faced with the heavy siege, although Old François was alone, he was really a bit of a lone hero. He did not give in at all and resolved the other party's siege one by one: "Your Highness the Princess has given orders long ago. Without her permission, no one can move the property under her name!"
Princess Pali became angry and cursed: "What is the property under her name? She is the daughter-in-law of the Romanov family. Her property belongs to the Romanov family and her husband Prince Dimitri. Now we are just using money to rescue her husband, what's wrong with this! Does she want to kill her husband on purpose? I will never allow such a horrifying thing to happen in our family!"
Li Xiaofeng frowned. He could have heard a clue. It should be that after Princess Anne was kidnapped, Abro Movich's accomplices threatened Dimitri's prodigal son, who had been tied up with meat tickets, and asked Princess Pali to pay for redeem the people. So the family could not find Princess Anne, so they had to catch François and force the money.
As Princess Anne's confidant, Francois had known the truth about tying meat tickets for a long time. In a sense, the old man really didn't like the prodigal prince. He wanted him to die early so that Princess Anne could be freed. How could he be the sucker and pay for the redeem?
After a while, the two sides had a dispute, and no one was willing to give in. If it were the broken incident of the big family in the past, Li Xiaofeng would not bother to pay attention to it, but now it is different. It is not that he felt sorry for Francois's alone or wanted to help his lover save his property. What attracted his attention was the timing of this small incident.
The incident happened so strangely. Li Xiaofeng, the Dexing of Princess Pali's family, had heard Princess Anne talk about it. The princess was originally a wife, but somehow she hooked up with Grand Duke Paul, who had just died, and was fascinated by the eldest Duke, and eloped to Paris together regardless of it.
It has been said before that the old Tsar Alexander II was very disliked and almost cut off the title of Grand Duke Paul. Later, under the implementation of the "Volunteer Intermarriage Act", the Romanov family admitted the marriage and gave Princess Pali, whose original name was Olga.
However, even though Princess Pali had a title, she gave birth to a fat boy for Grand Duke Paul. However, this fat boy named Vladimir was not qualified to inherit the title of Grand Duke Paul. Only Dimitri's prodigal son, born to the righteous wife of Grand Duke Paul, had the title of prince and was the legal heir to the Grand Duke.
As the heir, Dimitri's prodigal son inherited his inheritance is certainly not comparable to Vladimir. Even though Grand Duke Paul has not returned yet, his title is still only a prince, but his property under his name is dozens of times that of Vladimir. Princess Pali has always had a lot of opinions on this, but who made his mother a genuine princess, while Princess Pali is a commoner!
So she could only bear it. Anyway, with Grand Duke Paul here, she was not afraid of her son's grievances. At worst, just blow the pillows and wind. But the situation was very different after the February Revolution. Grand Duke Paul was in prison, and most of the family's property was seized. Princess Pali was suddenly in a dilemma of being in a pot without rice.
Prince Dimitri is different. Although he has suffered a considerable impact, who has made his wife, Princess Anne, a Frenchman, or a very identifiable Frenchman. He is determined to please the provisional governments of Britain and France, how dare he offend Princess Anne? So the princess’s life is quite decent, at least ten thousand times better than Princess Pali!
Princess Pali has always been unbalanced. Now that the two families have compared each other, it is really a matter of people to throw away. The embarrassing reality makes this petty princess even more unhappy. Now Princess Anne's inexplicable disappearance has made her see hope, and immediately seized this god-given opportunity to embezzle her daughter-in-law's property.
Of course, Li Xiaofeng could see through Princess Pali's sinister intentions, but the excuse of the other party's attack really surprised him. How could Princess Pali care about Prince Dimitri's life or death? To put it bluntly, she probably wanted the prodigal son to die sooner so that he could spare the inheritance rights of the Grand Duke to his son, how could he be kindly used to redeem the people with money?
According to the princess' usual thinking, it is best to not give money to let the kidnappers tear up the tickets directly, and then use Princess Anne to disappear and get the inheritance or supervision rights of the property. But now, she actually uses Prince Dimitri to be tied up for money. What does this mean?
This shows that Princess Pali is likely to have contact with the kidnappers. Maybe the kidnappers are giving her advice and waiting for the money to be forced to pay, and then they will sit on the ground to share the spoils.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly became shocked. The whole thing that had no clues had already made him catch the flaw. Who was the one who kidnapped Prince Dimitri? Abramovich's accomplices were preparing to make a big profit and sex last time. Needless to say, they were the ones who instructed Princess Pali to come to the door to force money, and I'm afraid they were the ones who kidnapped Princess Anne.
The only thing that Li Xiaofeng couldn't understand was that if this group of people had kidnapped Princess Anne, if Princess Anne fought to the end, they would not give money. Then they could kill Princess Anne. At that time, as Princess Anne's husband, Prince Dimitri could reasonably and legally inherit all the property of his deceased wife.
This is the easiest and most direct way. The prodigal son who is cartilled will definitely surrender and will obediently deliver the property with both hands. But the other party did not do this. Instead, he took a turn and found Princess Pali and his family to "save the country in a curve". Why is this?
Li Xiaofeng really couldn't figure out why he had to make a simple thing complicated. This was completely illogical and economically not cost-effective. But the other party did this, and there must be a reason. Li Xiaofeng was sure that the reason why the other party had to do this was closely related to Princess Anne's safety. As long as this was discovered, all problems would be solved...
