Freya thought this matter could be either minor or major and must be handled properly. Otherwise, in the end, it would not only damage the relationship among the three of them but also possibly involve the two children.

"Dr. Xu, how about this? I'll discuss with Bradley how to solve this matter, and then I'll contact you again."

Regarding Gabriel, only Bradley could go and inquire.

The most important thing now was to know what Gabriel planned to do!

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Without saying more, the call ended.

Freya held her phone and went to the yard. From a distance, she saw Blue Book reporting work to Bradley.

"The investigators from Huaguo seem to have reached an agreement with the Yelü royal family and will leave Yelü Qi's bedroom soon. However, there are still no clues regarding Mr. Ouyang's poisoning."

Blue Book told everything he had learned one by one. "But the investigators from Huaguo requested to take away the secretary's body, which was refused by Yelü Qi. After all, before any clues are found in this matter, the secretary's body is still a crucial key to solving the case."

Bradley nodded. "Keep an eye on this matter. Also, ask Ying to send some members of the Dark Web to lurk around. It's essential to ensure that all the guests can leave safely before the truth comes out."

"Yes."

Blue Book stepped back, and Freya approached and stood beside him in the moonlight.

The night wind was slightly cool, blowing Freya's hair, and a few strands brushed against Bradley's neck.

The man turned around, took off his black trench coat, and put it on her. Then he put his arm around her shoulders and they sat on the nearby wicker chair together.

"Have you finished dealing with the matter?"

When he asked this, the jealousy in his voice was still obvious.

Freya nodded and looked at the man with a serious expression for a long time. Just as he was about to ask in confusion, Freya said, "Xiaolan's situation is not good. She needs psychological counseling."

Bradley was stunned for a moment.

"Xu Yan told me that Mr. Lu and Lan Xiaoling are getting very close. Did you know about this?"

Bradley's eyebrows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly. He had talked to Gabriel before. At that time, Gabriel still hadn't arranged for Xiaolan to meet the two children, and the two children were being taken care of by Lan Xiaoling.

He had thought it was inappropriate at that time. After all, a man and a woman living together alone would definitely cause problems sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, the thing he was most worried about had happened.

"Gabriel never talks to me about matters of love. I really didn't know about this." Bradley said truthfully.

Freya hummed. She believed that Bradley didn't know.

"Xiaolan's mood is fluctuating now. Xu Yan said that when he was on night duty, he caught her and Gabriel quarreling several times. I guess she must have noticed something between Gabriel and Lan Xiaoling, so her jealousy is taking over."

Freya told him the situation, hoping that he could help and ask Gabriel about his thoughts.

This kind of thing definitely couldn't be delayed. If it wasn't handled well, it would hurt both sides and also have a significant negative impact.

"I'll talk to Gabriel and find out the situation. Don't worry. I believe Gabriel will handle the relationship among the three of them well." Bradley had always trusted Gabriel. He always knew where to draw the line when doing things.

If he really had other thoughts about Lan Xiaoling, he wouldn't have chosen to abandon everything to take care of Xiaolan.

"Yeah, I just hope Mr. Lu will be okay, and the relationship between Xiaolan and Xiaoling, the sisters, won't be affected because of this." Freya let out a deep sigh.

Bradley held her hand tightly, pulled her head onto his shoulder, and said in a solemn voice, "It will be okay. Everyone has their own trials to go through. I believe Gabriel can also overcome this hurdle smoothly."

The two of them snuggled up to each other and looked up at the starry sky above. Although it was so bright and dazzling, there was always a strange atmosphere lingering around.

...

At three o'clock in the morning.

Yelü Mingshuo woke up from his coma.

He tremblingly touched his face with both hands, and the unbearable pain hit him like crazy, causing him to roar hysterically.

"My face..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold sensation suddenly passed across his neck. Yelü Mingshuo widened his eyes and didn't dare to make a sound.

A dark figure appeared in front of him, and his pitch-black eyes emitted a cold light.

"Don't shout, or I'll kill you."

The hoarse male voice sounded as if it came from the ancient times.

Yelü Mingshuo raised his eyes in fear and looked at the person in front of him, whose face was covered with a black cloth. He said in a hoarse voice, "Who... who are you?"

"The one who comes to save you."

The other person's voice was obviously processed by a voice changer, and it was so hoarse that it made people shudder.

Yelü Mingshuo looked at him in confusion. "What do you want?"

In the middle of the night, being able to sneak into his bedroom past so many guards, this person was definitely not an ordinary one.

Yelü Mingshuo didn't dare to move, for fear that he would die without a burial place in the next second.

Seeing that he had settled down, the other person put down the dagger in his hand and directly sat down beside Yelü Mingshuo.

Given Yelü Mingshuo's situation, it would be effortless to kill him, so he didn't need to be overly cautious.

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

The other person took out a handkerchief from his body and wiped the blade of the dagger in front of Yelü Mingshuo.

The already extremely sharp dagger glinted coldly under the moonlight.

Yelü Mingshuo was stunned for a moment.

Before he could speak, the other person said again, "Do you want to know who set fire to your bedroom?"

"Who?"

Yelü Mingshuo asked eagerly.

The other person curled his lips and said word by word, "BRADLEY!"

Suddenly, Yelü Mingshuo's pupils shrank sharply. His originally weak body, somehow, got a sudden burst of strength and trembled several times.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it was him."

When his bedroom caught fire for no apparent reason, the first person he thought of was Leonard.

Now he was in pain all over and could only lie here like a useless person. Hatred and vicious murderous intent welled up in his chest, and his eyes were filled with ferocious bloodshot.

The man in black clearly saw his expression, and a hint of complacency appeared in his eyes.

Putting down the dagger, he crossed his hands and said sinisterly, "If you want to take revenge, I can help you. We can become the best allies."

Yelü Mingshuo was also a cunning person. He carefully considered the man in black's words in his heart. After a moment, he said, "Do you also have a feud with Leonard?"

"Yes, an irreconcilable feud!"

The murderous intent in the man in black's eyes became even stronger.

Yelü Mingshuo squinted his eyes and asked again, "What benefits will I get if I cooperate with you?"

The other person seemed to have heard the funniest joke and laughed a few times with his head tilted back. "Do you think you're in a position to negotiate terms with me? Prince, don't forget that you're in a disabled state now. And you're not of the Yelü royal family's bloodline. Do you think you can rise to power just by relying on a few women?"

"Stop daydreaming. If you want to get what you want, you need to use your own means. And I can give you a helping hand from behind."
