When he first met Boss Xue, he was just an unremarkable businessman. Later, through in-depth contact, Bradley found that this man had a great talent for business. Moreover, he was straightforward and worthy of deep friendship, so Bradley had been investing in him.

It could be said that Boss Xue owed his success today entirely to Bradley.

There was very little information in the materials. All the background information about Boss Xue before was blank. When it came to the identity of Yelü An, there was only the label of a former member of the Yelü royal family.

Bradley knew that these materials couldn't reveal much, so he went to see Yelü An again.

At this moment, Yelü An was drinking tea. When he saw Bradley come in, he greeted him warmly. "Bradley, you're just in time. Sit down and have some tea with me."

Bradley sat down opposite him and got straight to the point. "You just said that you had an affair with a woman. What was her background?"

Yelü An was about to take a sip of tea. When he suddenly heard this, he almost spat out the tea.

Why was he still dwelling on this issue after all this time?

"Bradley, why are you so curious about this?"

Bradley raised his eyebrows and said, "I just have a friend whose mother was taken advantage of. I want to confirm if it was you who did it."

Yelü An almost choked to death on his words.

Heaven and earth witness, he had only done one wrong thing.

What did it have to do with him if someone else's mother was taken advantage of?

"Don't put the blame on me. Although I was a bit of a scoundrel in the past, I'm not that shameless."

At that time, his eldest brother refused to get married even though he was over thirty years old. Coincidentally, the two of them went to the capital city on business. Driven by his playful nature, he came up with such a bad idea. He didn't expect that this matter would ruin his eldest brother's reputation, and the two brothers had a big fight because of it.

In the end, he left the family in defeat.

If he could turn back time, he would definitely not do such a thing.

Not only did he harm that woman, but he also put his eldest brother in a difficult position in the struggle for the throne, almost causing him to lose his current status.

"Then why haven't you gotten married at your age?" Bradley asked.

Yelü An pinched the center of his eyebrows, really wanting to curse out loud.

But the person in front of him was not only his friend but also the king of Solterra. He didn't have the guts.

"I haven't gotten married because I haven't found the right woman. By the time I wanted to find one, I was already too old and didn't have the energy." Yelü An sighed.

This was true. Over the years, he had been trying to prove that he could live a good life even after leaving the Yelü family, so he had been working hard on his career.

When he finally stopped to look around, he found that he was all alone. He had originally thought of finding a woman to get married and have children with, but the women he dated were not suitable. All those women were only interested in his money.

Moreover, he had been busy looking for the woman and didn’t got time to marry.

Bradley crossed his arms and looked at him from head to toe with sharp eyes. "Tell me, who was that woman?"

"What woman?"

"The woman you hurt."

Yelü An thought for a moment, and his mind drifted back to the past. Then he said softly, "I don't know who she is either. I only know that she was pure and beautiful. I noticed her the moment I saw her in the crowd and was attracted to her. But after that night, she disappeared. I've been trying to find out where she went all these years, but I haven't found any clues!"

"Oh, by the way, she looks somewhat similar to your wife. When I first saw my sister-in-law, I thought I was dreaming. How could there be someone so similar in the world? But then I thought, my sister-in-law is only in her twenties, while that woman was in her forties back then. How could they be the same person?"

At this point, the answer was beyond doubt.

The only person who could be similar to Freya was her mother, Bai Zhilan. There was no one else in the world.

After hearing this, Bradley said indifferently, "Not bad. You slept with someone and didn't have to take responsibility. You really got away with it."

"What?"

Yelü An suddenly sat up straight and looked at Bradley helplessly. "I wanted to take responsibility, but she didn't give me the chance. Besides, I didn't sleep with her. It was..."

Here, he stopped.

Back then, his eldest brother was able to inherit the throne smoothly because he took all the blame and admitted that he had taken advantage of the girl, so his eldest brother was spared punishment.

This matter was also suppressed. Everyone knew that Yelü An, the second prince of Yelü, was unruly, often indulging in romantic affairs, and even went to the capital city to seek pleasure for excitement.

He was already covered in dirt. If he dragged his eldest brother into it at this time, it would only bring shame to the Yelü royal family again.

Moreover, this matter had passed for so many years. Why bring it up again?

"Forget it. Have it your way." Yelü An waved his hand and didn't want to explain anything.

But Bradley didn't want to end it like this. He said in a solemn voice, "You took advantage of that girl. Maybe she even got pregnant with your child and is hiding in some unknown corner, living a life worse than death."

These words made Yelü An suddenly stand up from the sofa.

From the beginning until now, Bradley had been prying into his affairs, and his men had also reported that someone had been secretly investigating him recently.

Could it be that...

Did Bradley know something?

"Brother, do you have any news about her whereabouts?"

Bradley looked at him and then sneered coldly. "How would I know about your woman? Besides, when you were still flirting around, I was only a few years old. Aren't you asking the wrong person?"

Yelü An sighed in disappointment.

Yes, how could Bradley know these things?

There was a big age difference between the two of them. According to seniority, Bradley should call him uncle. But he was reluctant to admit his age and insisted on being brothers with him.

Bradley clearly saw Yelü An's expression.

Having known this old friend for so many years, Bradley knew that he wasn't the kind of irresponsible person. It seemed that he had always felt guilty about hurting Bai Zhilan.

But it was too late to regret now. After all, the grievances that Bai Zhilan had suffered over the years and the harm done to Freya had already been done. No amount of compensation could bring the dead back to life.

Without staying any longer, Bradley left Yelü An's place and was about to explain all this to Freya when he met Blue Book, who was rushing over, on the way.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"What is it?"

Seeing Blue Book's flustered expression, Bradley frowned and asked.

Blue Book came closer and reported, "The envoy sent by Huaguo. After leaving the hot spring pool, he had an allergic reaction all over his body and even went into shock just now."

Hearing this, Bradley's expression changed obviously.

He asked, "What's the situation on Yelü Qi's side?"

"He has already sent a doctor to rescue him, but the situation doesn't seem to be good."

The envoy of Huaguo had an accident in Country Z.

If this person couldn't be saved, Yelü Qi was going to be in big trouble.

"Keep an eye on the situation. I'll go back to find Freya."

After leaving these words, Bradley walked back to the room.

At this time, Freya heard the continuous noisy sounds outside. She was curious and came out to ask about the situation, only to learn about the accident that had befallen the envoy of Huaguo.
