Bradley also didn't expect such a turn of events and immediately asked Blue Book to investigate the matter.

At the same time, Yelü Qi had already given the order to have Si Shenglin arrested.

Si Shenglin, who had lost his hostage, had gone crazy and started shooting at the crowd. However, he was outnumbered and alone, unable to withstand the combined force of the others. He was soon injured.

At this moment, the sound of sniper fire rang out in the dark night.

Si Shenglin clearly saw the red dot approaching closer and closer, and it was about to blow his head off. In a state of panic, he quickly grabbed the person in black on the ground and made her take another bullet for him.

"Mas...ter!"

The person in black never expected that the master she had been loyal to would ultimately choose to sacrifice her.

Freya watched this scene and clenched her fists in anger. She flashed forward to deal with Si Shenglin.

She didn't expect this person to be so vicious that he actually chose to use someone as a scapegoat in a moment of crisis.

A scumbag like this deserved to die a thousand times.

Bradley soon came to help. After a while, Si Shenglin was seriously injured and lay on the ground, spitting out blood continuously.

"Nan... Long... Xiao! Even if I die, I can't stop someone from wanting you dead. And your woman, none of you can escape, you can't escape!"

He laughed maniacally, like a ferocious ghost in the dark night.

Just as Freya was about to ask him what he meant, he took his last breath.

She used a silver needle to stimulate his consciousness, but it was of no avail.

"He's dead!" Freya's face looked very grim, especially the words Si Shenglin had said before he died, which made her extremely uneasy.

Blue Book soon rushed back to report that no suspicious person had been found.

However, Freya looked into the dark night, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. Clearly, someone had secretly fired a shot, yet the people from the Dark Web couldn't find any clues.

This indicated that the person was hiding among all of them.

Who could it be?

Freya squinted her eyes and surveyed everyone present. These were all Yelü Qi's guards and Bradley's confidants.

Excluding the people from the Dark Web, the person who fired the shot was hidden among the guards.

Was it a coincidental misfire, or was there another reason?

Among the guards.

One guard slightly lowered his head, and his peripheral vision swept in Freya's direction. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold arc.

When Yelü Qi ordered everyone to clean up the scene and deal with the bodies, he resumed the expressionless look of a guard and helped to carry the bodies away.

The entire Yelü royal family was filled with the strong smell of blood in the air.

The dark night had no stars at all, and it was as eerie as hell.

Freya and Bradley stood there for a long time without moving. As for Yelü Qi and Yelü An, they led a group of people in a hurry to Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom.

"Bradley, I always feel that this is not that simple. Who on earth is the person who shot and killed the envoy? And why did he do it?"

Bradley put his arm around Freya's shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Perhaps, it was a mistaken killing."

Of course, even Bradley himself didn't believe this reason.

It was too unusual that the envoy was exactly the one who was "mistakenly killed".

"Even if it was a mistaken killing, what did Si Shenglin mean by the words he said at the end?" Freya looked at the man, feeling very uneasy.

Someone wanted to deal with her husband, and any woman would be nervous about that.

However, Bradley remained very calm and said in a flat tone, "Before, I heard Mu Jianguo say that my mother was from Yuanguo. Recently, things haven't been peaceful in Yuanguo. It seems that they intend to reorganize Yuanguo. If I'm not wrong, this is a crisis brought by Yuanguo."

"What about Yuan Xiao? Is he still imprisoned?"

Freya suddenly thought of this person.

Bradley nodded. "Yes, he is."

Freya said, "Yuan Xiao is from Yuanguo. Maybe he can help you resolve the crisis. We might as well use him and let him step forward to deal with this matter."

Just dealing with the Long family alone had already taken a great deal of effort from Bradley. If there was another Yuanguo to deal with, their peaceful days would never come.

"I will handle this matter well. Don't worry."

In order not to make Freya worry about this matter, Bradley could only hide the truth of the whole thing.

Yuanguo was a complex family, much more difficult to deal with than the Long family at that time.

Moreover, this involved his mother's natal family. There were some things he didn't want Freya to take risks with, and he didn't want her to get involved in these dirty affairs.

At the same time.

In Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom.

Yelü Qi burst in furiously and slapped Yelü Mingshuo hard on the face.

"You unfilial wretch! Who told you to do this?"

His anger had intensified on the way, and Yelü Qi was on the verge of a violent outburst. He didn't care that Yelü Mingshuo was still seriously injured. This slap made him vomit blood.

The queen was by his side. Seeing Yelü Qi so angry, she quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, Mingshuo is still a patient. Do you want to beat him to death?"

Yelü Qi ignored the queen's cries and pushed her away forcefully.

"It's all because of your indulgence that he has such an audacious character. Queen, if you defend this unfilial wretch today, I will deal with you as well!"

On the way, Yelü An had told him about the queen's deeds, including the reason why the princess consort was infertile, which turned out to be the queen's doing behind the scenes.

Yelü Qi punched the wall in anger, wishing he could tear this mother and daughter to pieces.

The queen was frightened by his furious appearance and didn't dare to speak for a long time, for fear that in his rage, Yelü Qi would ignore their marital relationship and not only be unable to protect Yelü Mingshuo, but she herself would also be in danger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. What on earth happened?" The queen softened her tone.

Yelü Qi pointed at Yelü Mingshuo, with veins bulging on his face. "You ask this unfilial wretch yourself what good deeds he has done!"

The queen actually knew in her heart. When Yelü Mingshuo had someone invite her over earlier, he had already confessed everything honestly.

She didn't expect Yelü Mingshuo to be so bold as to form an alliance with people of unknown identity to deal with Leonard and Freya together.

The queen also hated these two people, so she agreed to help Yelü Mingshuo and promised to keep him safe this time.

But now, seeing how angry Yelü Qi was, the queen vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

She feigned ignorance and looked at Yelü Mingshuo, asking sternly, "Shuo'er, explain the matter clearly. Why did you make your father angry?"

Yelü Mingshuo groaned in pain. That punch had made his heart, liver, and lungs ache. It took him a long time to say a word, "Your son is stupid and doesn't know why father is angry."

"You don't know?" Yelü Qi rushed over again and kicked him. "You formed an alliance with the murderer who killed Mr. Ouyang and even hid the other party in your bedroom, and you were caught red-handed by the master of Solterra. Do you think you can get away with it by playing dumb?"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Mingshuo's entire face instantly turned grayish-blue.
