CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 465: DEATH EXEMPTION TOKEN

Yan Qianyi asked, "Have you heard any news about the Commander? Is there any danger he might be in?"

Yan Yao fell silent for a moment and said heavily, "No, I can’t guarantee his safety right now either. Qianyi, I’m sorry..."

"Brother, why are you apologizing to me? It’s not like you’re the one who did this."

"If the Federation Empire’s Commander really had an accident in the Morris Empire, the friendly agreement between the two countries probably can’t be reached anymore, and that... your wedding with Ah Lie..."

"That won’t happen. Brother, don’t think about that for now. Let’s figure out what’s going on. The Commander is very capable, and I believe he has his own good luck."

Yan Qianyi reassured Yan Yao in turn.

Her idol and male god is the undefeated legend of the Federation Empire.

She believes he wouldn’t be easily taken down.

"Have they given you any trouble over there?" Yan Yao asked.

He was now more worried that if the Federation Empire didn’t trust him, his sister might get implicated because of him.

"No, don’t worry."

"You’re pregnant now, you need to take good care of yourself. I’ll take care of this, so don’t worry."

Yan Qianyi was surprised. "Brother, how did you know I was pregnant?"

She hadn’t had the chance to tell her brother yet.

"Mu Yunlie told me. He hopes your wedding can be held as soon as possible, so the Cold-faced Commander personally came to the Morris Empire to negotiate, facilitated by him."

Yan Qianyi pondered for a moment, then realized something and asked, "Did Ah Lie go with the Commander?"

"Did Ah Lie come? I don’t know, he didn’t tell me he would come with the Commander, and... I haven’t even seen the Cold-faced Commander yet, and something happened."

Yan Yao then asked, "Isn’t Ah Lie with you?"

"No... It’s okay now, brother, go ahead with your work, I’ll hang up first."

"Wait!" Yan Yao hurriedly said, "The way you just asked me indicates you’ve lost contact with him, right?"

Yan Qianyi realized she had let something slip and could no longer conceal it, so she admitted, "Yes, he went missing the same day the Commander went to the Morris Empire, and I haven’t been able to contact him since."

"Then it seems he must be with the Cold-faced Commander. Don’t worry for now, I have already dispatched a search and rescue team. Once I have any news, I will contact you immediately."

"Okay."

"If people from the Federation Empire give you trouble because of me, go to Duke Nangong. With his status, no one should dare to touch you, especially now that you’re carrying the Nangong Family’s blood."

"Alright, I understand. Don’t worry about me, brother. You go attend to your matters."

After hanging up the call, Yan Qianyi paced back and forth in the room.

Analyzing the situation, it was really possible that Ah Lie went with the Commander to the Morris Empire.

Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? Both of them had lost contact.

Before, Ah Lie had worn the Commander’s uniform, mentioning that sometimes he would act as a body double for the Commander.

So now, it was highly likely that they had gone to the Morris Empire together and encountered an ambush!

It seemed she had to make the trip after all.

But before leaving, she needed further confirmation.

At the Nangong couple’s house yesterday, she observed their expressions, which suggested they knew where Ah Lie had gone.

Once she confirmed that Ah Lie had gone to the Morris Empire, she would depart immediately.

Just as she managed to connect the call to Nangong Xiaoxue, before she could ask anything, Aunt Xue knocked on the door anxiously from outside, saying:

"Miss, some soldiers have come to the house, they want to see you."

On the other end of the call, Nangong Xiaoxue’s voice came through, "Hello, Qianyi? Why aren’t you speaking?"

"Grandma, there’s a bit of an emergency at home; I’ll call you back later."

"What happened?" Nangong Xiaoxue asked worriedly.

"Aunt Xue said some people from the military have come to the house. I’m going downstairs to check the situation; I’ll hang up now."

After saying that, Yan Qianyi hung up the call, opened the door, and saw Aunt Xue standing nervously at the entrance.

"Miss, what happened? Those people downstairs look very serious and a bit scary."

"It’s nothing. You stay upstairs; I’ll go down and check."

Yan Qianyi walked downstairs, and although Aunt Xue was scared, she still followed her with worry.

Five people had arrived downstairs, four in military uniform and one in civilian clothes.

The man in civilian clothing looked at Yan Qianyi and asked, "Are you Yan Qianyi?"

"Yes, what do you want with me?"

"There is something that requires you to come to the Military Department to assist with the investigation. Please come with me."

Yan Qianyi bit her lip, just as Xia Ziyu had guessed -- the Federation Empire was indeed suspecting her brother.

She had wanted to ask Nangong Xiaoxue if Ah Lie had gone to the Morris Empire.

Once she confirmed Ah Lie had gone, she intended to find him.

If she went with these people now, the military would definitely not let her leave until her brother had offered an explanation.

Therefore, she couldn’t go with them.

The man in civilian clothes glanced over Yan Qianyi’s slightly bulging belly.

"Yan Qianyi, you made a significant contribution at this year’s International Military Academy Friendship Tournament. We will not harm you, but we hope you will cooperate well and not force us to take action."

Yan Qianyi asked, "Can I make a call?"

It seems the only option left was to contact Duke Nangong to see if his influence could prevent her from being taken in for questioning.

The man said firmly, "No, from this moment until the matter is cleared up, you are not allowed to contact anyone."

Aunt Xue, standing at the side, was nearly in tears, "Our Miss is a student at the Federation Military Academy, and she hasn’t done anything wrong. Why do you want to take her away?"

"This is a military and political secret, which I cannot divulge." The man placed his hand on Yan Qianyi’s shoulder, exerting slight pressure, urging her, "Let’s go."

Yan Qianyi frowned and glared at the man’s hand, "Let go."

The man’s hand withdrew as if electrocuted and even stepped back.

It wasn’t Yan Qianyi’s aura that scared him but the sight of the emerald necklace hanging around her chest.

"Sorry for the disturbance," the man suddenly saluted Yan Qianyi.

"???" Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes in confusion.

Why did his attitude change so quickly?

The man turned to his subordinates and said, "Let’s go, she has a Death Exemption Token."

Death Exemption Token?

After the military personnel left, Aunt Xue hurriedly asked Yan Qianyi, "Miss, what is going on? Did you get into trouble? What is this Death Exemption Token?"

Yan Qianyi was just as puzzled.

She picked up the emerald necklace around her neck and examined it.

She noticed that it was after seeing the necklace that the man suddenly changed his attitude.

Could the Death Exemption Token be the necklace given by Nangong Xiaoxue?

She remembered Ah Lie telling her that the value of the necklace couldn’t be measured in money.

"Aunt Xue, it’s too complicated to explain in one or two sentences right now. I have to go on a long trip."
