Chapter 471: Chapter 471

Xia Ziyu said, "To be honest with you, even if you don’t open it, as long as you have that software installed in your system, I can know where you are."

"Damn it!" Yan Qianyi cursed. "Are you actually spying on me?"

"No! I usually don’t spy on you. But these past two days have been exceptional. I was worried you might be implicated, and I feared you might find it annoying if I asked you directly, so I secretly checked your location. Goodness, I got a shock when I looked; you had actually run away! How could you do this to me?"

Yan Qianyi replied impatiently, "I didn’t run away."

"Then what were you doing in the Morris Empire?"

"Looking for someone."

Xia Ziyu continued to press, "Looking for whom?"

Yan Qianyi said, "It’s none of your business."

"Do you forget I’m the best at tracking people? Are you sure you don’t want my help?"

Yan Qianyi gave it a thought. It indeed would be more convenient with Xia Ziyu’s help.

So she said, "I’m looking for Ah Lie. He came to Morris Empire with the Commander and has lost contact too."

"I was wondering. You’re pregnant, and he’s not by your side." Xia Ziyu asked, "So, what are you planning to do now?"

"First, I’ll secretly sneak into the Royal Palace to find my brother and see if there are any clues there."

"Yes, at least we need to figure out exactly who those ambushers were. Otherwise, we won’t have any leads. I’ll check on my end too."

Yan Qianyi’s furrowed brow relaxed, "You believe me? You don’t suspect that I ran away?"

"As long as you speak, no matter what it is, I will believe you."

"Hei Zai, thank you."

"Hey, you being so polite all of a sudden, I’m not used to it."

"Then I take back my thanks."

"Don’t! A mere verbal thanks lacks sincerity. How about you break up with Mu Yunlie after you find him and be with me?"

"You’re looking for trouble!"

"Hahaha..." Xia Ziyu laughed loudly. "That’s the you I know. But I was just joking. Just don’t forget the promise you made to me before."

"Damn! Have you forgotten?"

Yan Qianyi recalled for a moment; she really couldn’t remember any promise she had made to Xia Ziyu, "Remind me please."

"The medicine! You said you would take care of all my medical needs for the rest of my life!"

"Oh, that I remember. Didn’t you refuse it back then? You even said I was cursing you to fall ill."

"Anyway, for any problem in my life, I’ll come to you, and you have to treat me for free and continually supply me with health-enhancing medicine."

"Alright, alright, no problem. Now go investigate the ambush and keep in contact."

After hanging up, Xia Ziyu immediately got down to work.

Even though there was really no chance for him and Yan Qianyi after Mu Yunlie was found.

Being able to help her and remaining lifelong friends with her, he was content.

In the dead of night, Yan Qianyi sneaked into the heavily guarded Royal Palace.

Meanwhile, Yan Yao had just returned to his study from an emergency meeting and continued to review the documents submitted by his subordinates.

Andelle walked in with coffee.

Seeing Yan Yao’s fatigued expression, she said with concern, "Yao, rest tonight, please. You haven’t slept for days. It’s too hard on your body."

Yan Yao rubbed his brow, "I’m okay, finding the Cold-faced Commander and Ah Lie is more urgent."

"But you look so tired."

Yan Yao took a sip of the coffee Andelle handed to him.

"I have to keep going. It’s not just about the peace between two countries now, but also about my sister’s happiness. She’s pregnant; what if something really has happened to Mu Yunlie?"

If this issue didn’t find a resolution soon, the Federation Empire might declare war on Morris Empire.

He dared not even imagine the worst outcome.

"Alright then, I won’t disturb you," Andelle sighed and walked to the window, preparing to draw the curtains.

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the window, startling Andelle into shrieking and stepping back.

"Yao! There seems to be someone outside!"

Yan Yao immediately pulled out a handgun from the drawer, quickly walked forward, and shielded Andelle behind him.

At that moment, Yan Qianyi’s face appeared outside the window.

"Qianyi!" Yan Yao exclaimed in shock, put away his gun, and stepped forward to open the window.

Yan Qianyi climbed in and smiled at Andelle, "Sister-in-law, sorry for scaring you just now."

"I’m fine," Andelle quickly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Qianyi said, "I’m here to find Ah Lie."

"Nonsense!" Yan Yao frowned. "You’re pregnant; how can you travel ?"

"I’m fine. My body is strong, and my belly isn’t very big yet; it doesn’t hinder my movement."

"Even so, you should have told me in advance! Sneaking in , what if you were harmed by the Royal Palace guards thinking you’re a spy?" Yan Yao’s brow furrowed deeply.

He had rarely spoken to Yan Qianyi in such a stern tone since they were children.

Yan Qianyi knew her brother was really angry and said in a small voice, "After all, I am from the Federation Empire. I was afraid of being seen, and I knew you must be busy..."

"Yao, don’t be harsh on Qianyi. She must be very worried about Mu Yunlie," Andelle said.

"Sister-in-law understands me." Yan Qianyi quickly moved next to Andelle.

Andelle smiled, "But you know, your brother is just worried about you. He hasn’t slept a wink these past days because of this."

"So that’s why brother looks so worn out." Yan Qianyi took a bottle of medicine out of her backpack, poured out a few pills, and handed them to Yan Yao, "Here, take these. They can maintain your energy and strength for a day."

Yan Yao accepted the pills with confusion, swallowing one with his coffee.

He instantly felt much more vigorous and alert, and his tired body also regained strength.

Yan Yao looked surprised, "What’s in these? How come they work so well?"

"Don’t worry, they contain no banned substances and have no side effects. I developed them myself."

A smile finally appeared on Yan Yao’s face, "Your medical skills are truly impressive now. Give me some more."

Yan Qianyi put the medicine bottle back in her backpack, "The few I just gave you can last a few days. Get through these days, and then rest properly."

Yan Yao’s smile gradually stiffened, "A married-off sister really is like spilled water. You used to be generous to your brother in childhood."

Back then, his sister would generously share her favorite snacks with him.

"I can’t carry much in this backpack. I only brought one bottle, which might be needed later. When I get back, I’ll make some more and send them to you."

"That’s better. Just don’t forget later."

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget. Brother, let’s discuss important matters. I need all the information and clues you’ve gathered so far."
