<h4>Chapter 377 Next King</h4>


    The Cab meeting was something that usually took ce quarterly. However, it could also be called in case of emergency. It was like a private meeting with the King, the Prime Minister, the Crown Prince, and all the Ministers.


    Since it was an emergency meeting, it was being held behind closed doors, in a highly-secured ce, deep underground of the pce area.


    The meeting was being held in a secure room with a big, oval, mahogany table and leather-bound chairs. Outside of the room, around twenty guards always were being stationed. Moreover, the security in that area was impable.


    Jiang Yue stared at the group of guards who were escorting her to the meeting room. There were actually six of them. They were all wearingplete body armor and holding long arm weapons. She wondered if this was something that they usually did during every meeting or it had something to do with the uing attack. Did Gideon prepare this as a security measure?


    "Alright. We are here. You maye in now." She heard the leader of the group say after he opened the door of the room. ’It seems that some people have arrived early,’ she thought when she saw the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister already sitting on their seats. Aside from them, Secretary Jia and other two Ministers were already present too.


    "Good morning, Gentlemen," she greeted as she walked towards her designated seat, located just at the right of the King. She looked at the seating arrangements and was somewhat wondering why was the Prime Minister and not the Crown Prince seated at the left side of the King.


    Was Gideon finally showing his ws towards his fake son?


    With that in mind, Jiang Yue started preparing for her presentation, as more and more Cab members were arriving and upying their seats. She was working on herptop when she noticed her phone vibrating. Jiang Yue immediately checked it out and was somehow surprised seeing the context of the message from Fu Jin.


    Someone was trying to hack into the traffic system of Dongsu City and six other big cities in the country.


    Jiang Yue immediately clenched her jaws as a thought came into her mind. Was Li Qiang trying to cause chaos on the outside by sabotaging the traffic lights? It would immediately cause countless idents and maybe even deaths.


    But why choose the traffic system?


    Then, another message came through.


    This time Fu Jin was telling that the same was happening to the power system andmunication towers.


    "Is everything alright, Miss Jiang?" She heard the Crown Prince ask, his tone was full of mockery.


    "Yes... I just forgot to feed my cats." She answered while smiling at him. She wondered if this lousy Crown Prince was mocking her foring here and falling into their trap, or he was mocking her for frowning.


    "Oh... cats. I love to eat cats." Carlisle said. "They are good."


    "Really?" Jiang Yue smiled at him before propping her head onto her hands. Her face was full of interest in the topic. "I love to eat people who eat cats." She then stared at him intently. Her eyes traveled from his head to his arms, before she licked her lips.


    Her actions might seem seductive to some other people. But to Carlisle, they were really scary, to the extent that the hairs at the back of his neck raised, as Jiang Yue continued staring at him.


    "You..."


    "Pfft..." Jiang Yue suddenlyughed. "I was joking... Your Highness." Once again, sheughed at him. "You don’t have to get that scared. I don’t eat people. I just kill them, that’s all."


    "I promise..." she added before she winked at Secretary Jia who was trying to hold back hisughter. Seeing that she had already achieved her goal, Jiang Yue turned her attention back to herptop as she opened a new window and started typing a new series of codes.


    Carlisle, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth. He was about to retort and use Jiang Yue of threatening the Crown Prince, yet the Prime Minister held him back. Clearly, the Prime Minister was trying to stop him from falling into Jiang Yue’s trap and creating a ruckus out of nothing.


    He could only watch, as Jiang Yue happily typed on herputer while asionally smiling to herself.


    Carlisle looked at his wristwatch and smiled inwardly.


    Five more minutes and the meeting would start. Then, at nine thirty... his mother woulde, barging in, as the attack on the city would begin. He smugly looked at Jiang Yue, as he was silently mocking her in his mind. No matter how smart she was, she could not possibly have countermeasures against something that she was not aware of.


    Mr. Wu told him that he had been preparing for this attack for months. There was just no way that Jiang Yue could counter their attack on the same day.


    Today, Jiang Yue would end up being locked in prison while he... the Crown Prince of this country would get recognition andpliments. He would solidify his position as the one, who would be the next King after the current King’s death.


    And it would happen today...!!!
