Yelü Qi watched all this and quickly ordered the guards to disperse all the guests and escort them safely back to their rooms. Then he dispatched all the guards in the palace to surround Si Shenglin.

The members of the Dark Web guarding all around were also fully prepared, holding sniper rifles and waiting for Bradley's orders.

Freya looked at Si Shenglin holding a hostage. Since he had already admitted his crime in this way, she clapped her hands and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Your accomplice is still missing one. Don't you want him to come out and have a big reunion together?"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Qi's face changed slightly.

The person in black lying on the ground had an even uglier expression.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for what would be said next.

However, Freya just smiled, gradually wearing down everyone's will. Finally, she said calmly, "King Yelü, please ask all the irrelevant people to leave. This matter concerns the reputation of your Yelü royal family. It's better that fewer people know about it."

Yelü An had a vague sense of foreboding. Before Freya could speak again, he interrupted, "Your Highness of Solterra, since this matter concerns the reputation of the Yelü royal family, can we discuss it later?"

Now the people in the Yelü royal family were in a state of unrest. If any more unpleasant things were exposed, even if this murder case had nothing to do with the Yelü royal family, it would still shake the international prestige of Country Z.

So, it would be better to have a detailed discussion after the matter was dealt with.

If there was a traitor within the family, they must be dealt with!

Bradley also came over and held Freya's hand, signaling with his eyes that this matter could be put on hold for the time being.

Freya understood their concerns. After a moment of hesitation, she changed her attitude. "All right. Let's deal with Mr. Si Shenglin's matter first."

However, she had brought it up but didn't say it. Si Shenglin saw the way everyone had their own ulterior motives and suddenly laughed loudly. "Your Highness of Solterra, since it's a scandal of the Yelü royal family, why don't you make it public and let everyone witness the atmosphere of the Yelü royal family?"

After he finished speaking, he directly pointed out a name.

"Where is Prince Yelü? Why isn't he here for such a wonderful show?"

These words clearly indicated a problem: there was something wrong with Yelü Mingshuo.

Yelü Qi had already had some suspicions in his heart. Now, hearing what Si Shenglin said, his face darkened several shades. He turned to look at Yelü An and asked sternly, "An, you tell me. What on earth is going on?"

"Big brother, this..." Yelü An prevaricated.

Si Shenglin was already cornered. Even if he was going to die, he wanted to drag someone down with him. He sneered, "Why doesn't King Yelü think about why my people could come and go freely in the palace and even know everyone's every move? Without the support of someone within the royal family, my plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

So, was it Yelü Mingshuo?

When Yelü Qi heard what Si Shenglin said, the veins on his face bulged, and he even clenched his fists tightly. He asked Yelü An again, "Tell me. I want to know the whole truth."

Yelü An had originally chosen to let Freya hide it for the sake of the royal family's face. Now that Si Shenglin had exposed everything and wanted to drag Yelü Mingshuo down, he had nothing to hide.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Big brother, Mingshuo colluded with them. He deployed forces in the palace and has been secretly helping Si Shenglin. Even in the several assassinations of Freya, Mingshuo was involved."

"Absurd!"

Yelü Qi was extremely emotional and roared angrily, "Go, carry that unfilial son here. I want to hear him admit everything with his own mouth."

Yelü An, considering the overall situation, quickly stopped him. "Big brother, family scandals should not be made public. After dealing with this matter at hand, we can consider dealing with Mingshuo. After all, there are still some things I need to discuss with you privately."

This matter alone was enough to make Yelü Qi extremely angry. Now that Yelü An still had other things he hadn't confessed, Yelü Qi was so angry that he almost lost his breath.

But now was indeed not a good time to deal with family affairs. He endured it and finally managed to suppress his anger, deciding to settle accounts with Yelü Mingshuo later.

As for Si Shenglin who had taken a hostage, he had reached the point of taking desperate risks. He said viciously to everyone, "All of you retreat one meter away. Also, prepare a car and a ship for me. There must be one billion in cash and equipment on the ship. As long as you let me leave safely, I will naturally let this envoy go."

Si Shenglin's identity had been exposed. If he returned to Country R at this time, he would definitely be sanctioned by the country.

So, he might as well take the money and run away and live with a new identity.

"Mr. Si Shenglin, you can't escape. Look around you." In the face of his threat, Freya remained extremely calm.

Si Shenglin turned his head and surveyed the surroundings. There were densely packed guards of the Yelü royal family everywhere. Moreover, the snipers hiding in the dark were all around.

He couldn't escape!

But even so, he still decided to take a desperate gamble.

"Even if I can't escape, I will take some people with me. Retreat, retreat. All of you retreat." Si Shenglin's face was ferocious, and the corners of his mouth twitched constantly as he spoke.

The hand holding the gun was so tightly clenched that his deformed fingers curled up together, looking particularly ferocious in the dark night.

The envoy in front of him was also a person of high power and status. If anything happened to him, his family would definitely not let it go. Although he was the one who took action, since the person died in the Yelü royal family, the other side would definitely hold the Yelü family accountable.

So, Si Shenglin was very confident that Yelü Qi wouldn't let him kill this envoy.

So, he still had a chance to survive!

Sure enough, Yelü Qi signaled the guards to retreat to a safe distance.

One Mr. Ouyang had already died. If Mark had an accident, even if Yelü Qi had ten mouths, it would be difficult to quell the anger of the various countries.

"Do as I say, or I'll shoot!"

Si Shenglin was obviously very nervous. When people were in a life-and-death situation, they would only use brute force. The hostage he was holding was an old man with no strength to defend himself. How could he withstand such treatment?

After being frightened and crying for help frantically, he was now on the verge of death.

Yelü Qi quickly gave the order, "Do as he says!"

"Yes!"

Soon, someone went to handle it.

Si Shenglin curled the corner of his mouth and showed a triumphant smile.

However, just as he was retreating and about to leave, there was a sudden sound in the night sky, and a bullet shot towards him at high speed.

Si Shenglin secretly thought it was bad. Subconsciously, he pushed the envoy forward, and the envoy happened to block the bullet for him.

As the bullet entered the body, the envoy didn't even have time to let out a scream before he died.

Blood gushed out like a stream from the bullet hole.

Freya looked in the direction of the gunshot and furrowed her brows tightly.

There were all their people here. Without her and Bradley's orders, the snipers couldn't possibly have fired.

So, there were still other people hiding here.
