Chapter 472: Chapter 472

Yan Yao looked at Andelle and asked, "Is it okay?"

Now, the clues that Yan Yao held in his hand were, after all, related to the political affairs of the Morris Empire, and under normal circumstances, should not be shown to Yan Qianyi.

So he wanted to consult his wife’s opinion.

Without hesitation, Andelle said, "Of course it’s okay. Although Qianyi is from the Federation Empire, to us, she is family. This concerns Ah Lie, so we should tell her."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"`You don’t need to thank me.` We’re family, and I can understand how you feel right now."

With an understanding look, Andelle gazed at Yan Qianyi. If the roles were reversed and it was Yan Yao who had gone missing, she too would be worried and would do whatever it took to find him.

"Yao, you should talk to Qianyi quickly," urged Andelle.

Yan Yao nodded, lightly tapped his wristband, and projected the Light Screen, displaying the clues and information to Yan Qianyi.

Currently, there were two suspects that Yan Yao had in mind.

One was the King of the Warner Empire, whose wife was Andelle’s cousin.

The Warner Empire had always been at odds with the Federation Empire, so they were against the Federation Empire making a friendship treaty with the Morris Empire.

Recently, the Queen of Warner had spent a long time in the Morris Empire until the day of the Cold-faced Commander’s incident, when she returned to the Warner Empire.

Thus, it was possible that she knew the Cold-faced Commander was going to the Federation Empire and, in order to sabotage the treaty between the Federation Empire and the Morris Empire, designed an ambush.

The other suspect was Andelle’s uncle by marriage, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of the Morris Empire—Dempsey.

The reason the treaty of friendship between the two nations had not yet been signed was Dempsey’s persistent opposition.

Dempsey argued that once the treaty was signed, it was very likely that the Morris Empire would be annexed by the Federation Empire after the alliance.

From then on, the Morris Empire would vanish from the Universe, becoming a part of the Federation Empire.

The Federation Empire was so named because it had once annexed other empires.

After listening to Yan Yao’s analysis, Yan Qianyi asked, "Brother, who do you think is the more likely suspect of the two?"

Yan Yao glanced at Andelle, his expression grave, and said:

"I think it’s probably Dempsey. Although the Queen of Warner was born in the Morris Empire and her family holds important positions there, she doesn’t have the capability to cause such uproar within the territory of the Morris Empire."

"Even though her maternal family members are also opposed to the treaty, just like Dempsey, it is Dempsey who is leading the opposition. Moreover, Dempsey has been acting very out of character lately, and I’ve already sent people to secretly monitor him."

Yan Qianyi nodded, noticing that Yan Yao seemed to be conscious of Andelle’s feelings when mentioning Dempsey, and Andelle’s expression had darkened considerably.

She asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have a good relationship with Dempsey?"

Andelle sighed, "My aunt and I are very close, she has always cherished me, and their daughter Lina is the most dear to me among many siblings."

"Lina?" Yan Qianyi found the name somewhat familiar.

Yan Yao said, "When you and Mu Yunlie visited before, at the masquerade ball, you met her."

"Oh, I remember now!" Yan Qianyi’s mind immediately conjured up Lina’s face.

Lina was very beautiful, but the reason Yan Qianyi still remembered her wasn’t just because of Lina’s outstanding beauty, but also because during the dance, Lina had approached Ah Lie to strike up a conversation.

At that time, she had seen that Lina was interested in Ah Lie.

"So... If it really is Dempsey, what do you plan to do, sister-in-law?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Andelle took Yan Yao’s hand, "Although I have a very good relationship with my little aunt and Lina, I cannot forgive Dempsey for committing acts that destroy the peace of the nation, no matter how Yao decides to handle it, I will support him."

With Andelle’s words, Yan Qianyi felt reassured.

"Brother, could you send me the detailed information on both parties? I want to investigate personally."

"It’s possible, but how will you investigate? I know you are very capable now, but they are not simple characters, it’s not something that can be resolved with force, and you are pregnant now, you shouldn’t be overexerting yourself."

In Yan Yao’s eyes, his sister would always be a child, how could she possibly contend with those adults.

Yan Yao advised, "Since you’re here, just stay in the Royal Palace, I will clear this up, and I will find Mu Yunlie as soon as possible, you don’t need to get involved, it’s too dangerous."

Yan Qianyi insisted, "Brother, I can’t just sit and wait, I must find Ah Lie myself! Don’t worry, I will protect myself, look at how strict the security is at your Royal Palace, and I managed to slip in without any noise."

Yan Yao frowned, "No! No matter what you’ve done since you were young, I’ve supported you, but now this matter is of great importance, involves too much, and is very dangerous!"

Andelle urged, "Yao, why not just let Qianyi go then, I know you’re worried about her safety, but she’s so determined, you can’t keep her here anyway, Qianyi is an adult now, I believe she can judge for herself and will protect herself."

Yan Qianyi nodded, "Sister-in-law is so nice, even better than my brother at understanding me."

Yan Yao wanted to say something else, hesitated for a moment, but seeing Yan Qianyi’s resolute appearance, he helplessly agreed, "Fine, I’ll send it to you now, but you must promise me, you must protect yourself, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

Yan Qianyi’s face immediately lit up with a smile, "Okay!"

Yan Yao immediately sent the information to Yan Qianyi, adding, "I’ll arrange for some people to protect you."

"No need, I move better on my own, too many people would just get in the way." Yan Qianyi glanced at her bracelet and saw that she had received the information, "Then I’m off."

"So late, where are you going? Stay here tonight."

"No need, it’s not convenient to stay in the Royal Palace, I have my own arrangements."

After saying that, Yan Qianyi walked towards the window.

Before Yan Yao could react, she had already opened the window and flipped out with agile movements.

"Qianyi!" Yan Yao hurriedly went to grab her, but she had already slipped away.

He stuck his head out of the window to look.

Under the night sky, Yan Qianyi’s figure was no longer visible, as if she had vanished into thin air.

Yan Yao was stunned; he knew that since his sister had joined the Federation Military Academy, her records were exceptional.

But this skilled agility was simply not like someone who had studied only for one semester.

"Yao, just let Qianyi go, she has her own resolve, and you can’t keep her," Andelle consoled, "I feel like Qianyi has suddenly grown up a lot, she is no longer the little girl she used to be."

Yan Yao said helplessly, "Actually, I know I can’t keep her. From childhood, once she sets her mind on something, not even nine bulls could pull her back; she’s very stubborn."
