When they returned to the room, Bradley told Freya about the old doctor's death. She had been thinking about how to explain Mr. Ouyang's death to the investigators from Huaguo. Hearing this suddenly, she stood up from the sofa.

"Dead?"

Bradley pressed her shoulder and made her sit down again. He said in a cold voice, "Someone killed him before Blue Book arrived and threw his body into the deep sea. I suspect that our every move has been secretly monitored. The other party knew that we would find this old doctor, so they took the lead in killing him to destroy the evidence."

Hearing this, Freya's face changed slightly. She turned to look at the man and said, "So, the entire palace is being monitored?"

"That's right."

Bradley nodded and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes is very familiar with everything in the Yelü Palace. Or rather, there are his people deep in the palace. They work together from the inside and outside, manipulating the whole case without anyone noticing."

"So, Freya, we need to be careful recently and don't trust anyone easily."

The Yelü Palace now was like an abyss. Everywhere they went, they might be trapped in the quagmire and unable to get out.

Everyone was trying to protect themselves, hoping that the tragedy wouldn't happen to them.

Bradley even had a hunch that this matter wasn't that simple and that some big things would still happen.

"They say that the court is a dangerous place, and everyone schemes against each other for power and position. I used to see it on TV, but I never thought that one day I would experience this situation myself."

Freya still felt as if she had been in a dream.

She had just come to attend a wedding banquet, but somehow she had fallen into a chess game and become a pawn in someone else's hand.

"I'll go and meet the investigators from Huaguo later. You can rest in the room."

This matter had to be dealt with. After all, the Yelü royal family had shifted the blame for Mr. Ouyang's death onto Freya, and the investigators from Huaguo already knew the truth.

If they dragged it on, the situation would only get worse.

"No, I want to go with you. I caused this trouble, and I should bear the responsibility myself."

She had been thinking about what to say, trying to make the investigators from Huaguo believe her words.

She wouldn't shirk her responsibility, but she also wouldn't let those villains behind the scenes go.

Bradley didn't want her to get involved in this mess, but since Freya insisted on going, he had no choice but to take her with him.

The two of them went to the room of the investigators from Huaguo, and Bradley knocked on the door himself.

After a moment, someone came to open the door. It was the secretary of the investigator.

"Your Majesty of Solterra, our sir has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in." The secretary made an inviting gesture.

Bradley held Freya's hand and they walked in together.

A man in a suit was sitting on the sofa, reading a literary weekly carefully. From a distance, his silver hair was particularly eye-catching.

When the two of them approached, the other person put down the weekly, stood up, and motioned to them, "Your Majesty of Solterra, Your Highness of Solterra, please have a seat."

Bradley held Freya's hand and they sat down together, and then the old man sat down too.

Freya first nodded to the other person and then took the initiative to state her purpose. "Mr. Su, I'm very sorry about Mr. Ouyang's accident."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to the other person.

Bradley furrowed his eyebrows deeply but also stood up and accompanied her.

No matter what, the thing had happened. What they needed to do was to quell the anger of Huaguo and find an opportunity to clear Freya's name.

Unexpectedly, the other person stroked his beard and smiled. "Your Majesty and Your Highness of Solterra, there's no need to blame yourselves. I've already had someone look into the cause of the incident. At that time, Mr. Ouyang's situation was extremely critical. Even without that oversight, it would have been very difficult to save Mr. Ouyang."

He spoke very calmly and showed no sign of anger at all.

This surprised both Freya and Bradley.

Before they could speak, the other person said again, "I know that the two of you came here to apologize. In fact, there's no need. I'm not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong. I can see clearly what really happened.

Moreover, I also believe in the character of Your Highness of Solterra. Since she was able to save the eldest prince of Yelü, how could she want to harm Mr. Ouyang? I'm afraid that some people with ulterior motives want to take this opportunity to sow discord between Huaguo and Solterra. Your Majesty and Your Highness of Solterra, don't fall into the villains' plot."

Not only was Freya stunned, but Bradley was also quite shocked.

They had already been prepared to accept the blame from Huaguo, but they didn't expect Mr. Su to be so reasonable and not blame them at all.

"Since Mr. Ouyang's accident, Your Highness of Solterra has been cooperating with my investigation and helping to find clues. If I were to blame Your Highness of Solterra at this time, wouldn't it make Huaguo seem very unreasonable? I will have this matter investigated clearly, but I also ask Your Majesty and Your Highness of Solterra to give your assistance and make sure that the real culprit doesn't get away with it."

Freya had been paying attention to Mr. Su's eyes. This person had sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

It was an honor for Huaguo to have such an outstanding person.

Freya said firmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Su. I will definitely help you investigate this matter clearly and clear Mr. Ouyang's name."

The conversation went very smoothly. Mr. Su didn't blame them at all. Instead, he showed great trust in the two of them.

Even after they left, Freya was still sighing with emotion about Mr. Su's reasonableness.

But Bradley didn't think so. Having gone through so many dangerous and difficult situations, he knew very well what people with status were thinking. Although Mr. Su seemed to believe Freya on the surface, his unnoticeable eyes still revealed his true thoughts.

It could be said that this Mr. Su wasn't simple at all.

But what exactly was he plotting? Everything still needed to be tested.

After the two of them left, the secretary brought tea and came closer. He asked in confusion, "Sir, why did you let them off so easily?"

Mr. Su took the tea and took a sip. His sharp eyes showed a bit of turbidity, and his tone wasn't as kind as before but was somewhat cold.

"Who is Leonard? He's the king of Solterra. Even if Your Highness of Solterra was responsible for Mr. Ouyang's death this time, do you dare to hold her accountable? Don't forget that Leonard's influence spreads all over the world. Even if Solterra is small, with those several forces of unknown origin and countless informants in the entire Yelü Palace, what can we do to them?"

The secretary understood and said, "You're still more thoughtful, sir. It was my oversight."

"No, you don't understand Leonard's methods. So now, we can only wait." Mr. Su stroked his silver beard, and a hint of obscurity flashed in his eyes.

This time, he was in charge of the investigation of Mr. Ouyang's incident and had contact with the Yelü royal family. On the surface, it seemed like an opportunity to make achievements, but in reality, it was a trap.

The Yelü royal family had a stable position in the international community. Even though Huaguo's power was comparable, it didn't dare to offend the Yelü royal family at this time.
