Chapter 410 Chapter How to Avoid Embarrassment

Although it sounds like a very socially deadly question, when Diana asked it, it was only full of curiosity, without any questioning or accusation in her tone.

The rosy lips are close to the ear, and the moist breath from the mouth blows on the face. The expansion and contraction of the pores makes the cheeks begin to itch, and the itch goes all the way to the heart of the writer.

If it was a different place, a different time, if there were only two people instead of four, Lin You would definitely have kissed her right now; but...

"Lin You turned the topic aside, avoiding Diana's gaze and her questions; at the same time, he deliberately coughed heavily twice: "Cough cough!
What to do when you are embarrassed? Of course, try to make others more embarrassed!

The coughing startled the man and woman who were playing office games. They subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, stretching their necks and looking back at the same time. But when they saw that the sound was made by Lin You, their reactions were different.

Holmes' face was filled with embarrassment, he didn't know where to look, and he struggled to get up from the chair; Irene Adler, on the other hand, had a look of dissatisfaction on her face, staring at her boss who suddenly appeared, as if blaming him for ruining her good thing.

As if she felt that Holmes' panic-stricken movements made her sit unsteadily, Irene pressed down hard with both hands and directly suppressed the man under her; after stopping the famous detective's panic, the female thief calmly stood up from the other's thighs.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency; who is this beautiful girl?" Irene greeted gracefully.

"My name is Diana, the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and a princess of the Amazons." Diana answered without thinking, not realizing that the person Irene was asking was actually Lin You, not her.

"Hello, my name is Irene Adler, Mr. Count's subordinate."

The two women introduced themselves to each other, and the two men looked at each other; when the women were not embarrassed, the men would only be doubly embarrassed.

Holmes seemed to be stunned. It took him a long time to remember that he was still lying on the chair. He hurriedly climbed up from the chair again. He seemed to have twisted his waist because he had maintained the same posture for a long time or because he did not use proper force when he stood up.

"Hey, I mean, this girl... ahem." In order to avoid being asked about what happened on the office chair, the most embarrassed Holmes hurried to change the subject, but after he opened his mouth, his slow mind finally turned around; "Who do you say you are, the daughter of Hippolyta?"

Diana nodded blankly, thinking that this wretched middle-aged man was very strange.

"Is it the Hippolyta I know?" When asking this question, Holmes turned to look at Lin You; fortunately, he had known about the existence of gods long ago, so he could still control his expression and tone at this moment, so as not to be too out of control.

"Yes, it's the Hippolyta you heard about in mythology when you were a child. She is the Amazon queen that Hercules met when he was undergoing the Twelve Trials." Lin You gave an affirmative answer and also made additional explanations.

"But doesn't the myth say that she is dead? Although the reasons for her death are not consistent in different stories, they all say that she is dead."

There was something a little abnormal about Holmes' voice, as if he had inadvertently amplified the volume; if there were experts in psychology here, they might be able to immediately determine that this was an unconscious action taken by a person trying to cover up something.

"Myths are sometimes not accurate. Hippolyta did marry Theseus and participated in the war between Athens and Amazon; but unlike the myth, she did not die. She just lived in seclusion on an island and did not care about external affairs." Lin You gave a detailed explanation to the famous detective. This action also had an abnormal deliberateness.

The two men cooperated with each other tacitly to avoid the embarrassment they had just encountered.

This little trick could only be hidden from the young and ignorant Diana, but how could it escape the eyes of the female thief Irene Adler?

Fortunately, although this woman is eccentric, she still knows how to take care of men's face; because one of these two men is her man.

"So, I'm holding the hand of a demigod hero now?" Irene took Diana's hand to show intimacy.

The female thief was very smart. Although she didn't know why her boss was embarrassed even though she and Holmes were caught on the office chairs, she was very clear that her boss's embarrassment must have come from this naive and lovely girl.

Sure enough, as soon as the topic changed, Lin You immediately seized the opportunity to continue the conversation: "That's right; Hippolyta is the daughter of Ares, so Diana has at least a quarter of the blood of a true god."

"Really? I'm so honored..." The expression of surprise and honor on Irene's face was just right. She is worthy of being a legendary female thief who can dress up like a human and a ghost.

Lin You silently gave his subordinate a thumbs up.

When the female thief deliberately flatters, she can make everyone who listens to her feel warm and at ease. A fledgling Wonder Woman was easily coaxed into smiling. But after the greetings, when they got down to business, how could Diana still remember what questions she had asked Lin You before?
"The situation in South Africa has been very tense over the past two years, but it has only completely deteriorated in the past two months." Irene handed Lin You a document. "This is the news we received from Parliament yesterday. Six members of the House of Commons submitted a joint proposal on the situation in South Africa, urging Parliament and the government to resort to war to completely resolve the conflicts between the Cape Town Colony and Transvaal and Orange. Three members of the House of Lords also expressed support for this statement."

"Is there anything special about this proposal?" Lin You took it but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked another question.

Irene's answer was meaningful: "You can look at the list of MPs who proposed the motion, and the names of the three members of the House of Lords who expressed their support in the remarks."

"Hmm...haha!" Lin You turned directly to the end of the document and laughed out loud when he saw one of the names; "Sir Patrick Morgan!"

"I've heard you mention this name more than once. It seems to be closely related to many conspiracies. But every time I plan to take action against the Morgan family, you always stop me, saying that the two Patrick Morgans are not the same person." Irene Adler could not hide her confusion.

"They are indeed deeply connected, but they are definitely not the same person." Lin You considered what words to use so as not to expose the truth of the big world while explaining the problem clearly. "This is some kind of method used by the gods. Patrick Morgan - even the entire Morgan family may have been controlled by the evil god. The Patrick Morgan who stayed in the House of Lords in London is just a substitute. The real body of the evil god secretly left to carry out more conspiracies."

"That evil god...why does he make things so complicated?" Holmes frowned, already entering the investigative state of a famous detective.

"Controlling the Morgan family is to avoid the attention of mortals; arranging substitutes is to avoid the attention of other gods." Lin You still left some words unsaid.
