Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 202 Blood Test

They all stood silently in every corner of the banquet hall.

Everyone felt insecure and dared not make any unnecessary movements, nodding frantically.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers wearing silver armor and blue cloaks suddenly rushed in from the door.

They were silent and orderly, all armed with weapons, and as if they had rehearsed it long ago, they poured into every corner of the banquet hall and replaced the police.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more silent and eerie.

"This seems to be the Lan family's royal guards."

Seeing that Colin stopped talking, someone whispered and pointed at the blue rose family emblem on the cloak behind the Royal Guards.

As he finished speaking, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw two beams of high beams coming towards him. A black Maybach was speeding in the rain, and the front of the car also had the conspicuous blue rose family emblem.

Yuri got out of the passenger seat, opened a large black umbrella, walked to the back seat and opened the door.

Garland's shiny leather shoes stepped onto the water-stained marble floor, and then, the always tall and straight figure gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

However, the door did not close immediately.

Garland straightened his black suit and reached out to the car, until a small white hand placed on his palm and slowly walked out of the car.

Everyone then realized that the person coming down must be the little princess of the Lan family.

Evelyn, wearing a black velvet high-slit long skirt and black high heels, took Garland's arm and walked towards the hotel entrance.

Thunder and lightning were roaring in the cloudy night sky. The ice-blue lightning cut through the dark sky like a prelude to another storm, illuminating the delicate profiles of the two people.

"Look, the Lan family is here!"

"The little prince is here too! Looks like we're going to have something interesting to watch today!"

Everyone could no longer suppress their excitement and started talking to each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

When the two appeared at the door of the banquet hall, the reporters and media who had been ready to make a move all swarmed over.

The dazzling flash lights kept flashing on their faces.

The Royal Guards were ready early and formed a human wall in front of a group of crazy reporters.

He separated Garland and Evelyn from the reporters who were rushing over and did not return to his own seat until they safely walked onto the stage and took their seats.

"First of all, thank you all for taking the time to come to the Lan family's press conference today."

Oli raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then spoke as a representative.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of shutter clicks ringing in the huge banquet hall.

"Everyone's purpose for coming here today is very clear, and the Lan family will also show the utmost sincerity to face all your doubts and rumors."

"The national disease control department will be here today, and Minister Liu will personally do blood tests for your two highnesses."

"Time is precious, so let's start now."

As Oli finished speaking, Minister Liu and his two deputies went on stage and showed the testing equipment in their hands to everyone one by one.

"To allay everyone's doubts and for the sake of fairness, all of the testing equipment today is brand new and unopened."

"We will open it together on site, in the presence of the media and the Senate."

After that, Minister Liu’s two deputies showed everyone the seal with the national seal and opened the testing equipment in front of everyone.

"The first set of equipment is the most primitive test strip test. Your Highness' blood is dropped into water, and the test strip is placed in for three seconds to soak."

"If the test paper turns red, it means the person is infected with the LE virus. If the test paper does not show any change, it means it is safe."

"To prevent anyone from replacing the water, the water will be provided by the Senate."

As he spoke, Colin nodded politely to Minister Liu and smiled coldly and distantly.

"Everyone knows that since ancient times, the president of the Senate has been promoted by the Lan family. The two sides are simply grasshoppers in the same boat."

"In a situation where everyone prospers together, how can you guarantee us that the Senate won't do anything to the water?"

At this time, voices of opposition suddenly arose, and the reporter's words were not without reason.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people nodded in agreement.

Garland was getting impatient that the Lan family, with such a high status, now had to prove itself based on some unfounded rumors.

Just like a monkey being watched, his anger had already reached 80%.

"Then what do you want?"

Evelyn's sharp gaze was directed directly at the reporter who first objected, while Colin had a fake smile and looked indifferent.

Ever since the Senate brought people to Edward's funeral to seize the throne when he passed away, Evelyn impeached the former president of the Senate.

Today, the Lan family claims that he suffers from a very serious mental illness and that they are providing for his retirement out of humanitarian considerations.

The former president of the Senate was placed under house arrest forever in a mental hospital in the suburbs.

Garland, however, refused to give up because he had done everything he could to embarrass Evelyn in the past.

He confiscated all his property and rights and cut off all his connections with the outside world.

Although the Senate is the highest institution that handles all affairs of the royal family and the great nobles, more and more voices believe that the Senate is in cahoots with the Lan family and has covered up many crimes.

It was precisely because of this opposition that Evelyn decided to amend the law that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The Senate is completely independent, and each president is elected by the masses and the great nobles.

Of course, with the previous dean who wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, Evelyn naturally considered the possibility of such a thing happening again.

In this case, the point is made again.

Evelyn's treatment of the former dean was also a disguised warning to the new dean not to have second thoughts.

She believed that the fate of the previous director, who would never be able to leave the mental hospital in his lifetime, was a clear example before her eyes.

No one would dare to have any other thoughts, even if there were.

He also has to think carefully about whether he can escape the Lan family's pursuit.

Whether he can withstand Garland's wrath.

And the current president of the Freshman Senate, Colin, came from this perspective, so Evelyn didn’t quite know what kind of person he really was.

I just heard that the general public had almost unanimous positive comments about Colin.

He is young and promising. Not only is he honest and upright, but he is also one in a million in appearance.

So overall, everyone is very satisfied with the current Senate.

After being asked such a sharp question by Evelin, the reporter didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In fact, he didn't know what method he could use to satisfy everyone.

"Bring up your water."

After a long moment of silence, Garland pointed to the reporter and drank half a bottle of mineral water.

The reporter was stunned at first, then carefully picked up the water and walked to the front of the stage.

Just as he was about to go on stage, Yuri, with a stern face, stretched out his arm to block his way.
