Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Never Allow Anyone to Harm Him

Mu Yunlie’s eyes were cold. "This road isn’t leading to the Royal Palace."

In his earpiece, Ah Chang had already alerted him that they were off course.

As it was his first visit to the Capital Star of the Morris Empire, he didn’t know the way, so while waiting at the hotel entrance, he had quietly signaled to Ah Chang to keep an eye on the route and report back to him at any moment.

The man in the passenger seat said, "This indeed isn’t the way to the Royal Palace. The Prince isn’t able to receive you at the Royal Palace, so I’m taking you to the Prince’s private residence. We’ll be there shortly."

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi withdrew her hand that was placed near Mu Yunlie’s arm, the hand that had wanted to stop him.

Her eyes darkened as well.

Her brother had clearly said in a voice message that he would take her to the Royal Palace.

Such a sudden change of plans couldn’t have happened without her knowing.

"Mr. Mu, please put down your gun," the man said again. "It’s really just a misunderstanding. If you don’t believe us, you can contact the Prince right now and ask..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, Mu Yunlie swiftly turned his gun and shot him dead.

The driver was startled and swerved the car to the side of the road, crashing into a ditch on the left.

After a dizzying whirl, Yan Qianyi found herself falling into Mu Yunlie’s arms.

Mu Yunlie used one hand to protect her head, which almost hit the broken glass, while still aiming his gun at the driver’s temple with the other hand. "Speak, who sent you?"

The driver, sweating profusely and bleeding from his head, stammered, "There’s a bomb in the car! It’s going to explode any moment! Let’s get out and talk, please?"

Hearing this, Yan Qianyi kicked open the car door above and quickly crawled out, then turned back and reached out her hand to Mu Yunlie, "Hurry, get out!"

They both quickly got out, but the driver was blocked by his dead companion’s body and his legs were stuck in the car, unable to crawl out. He trembled in panic, "Help... help me, it’s going to explode!"

Mu Yunlie was about to help the driver when Yan Qianyi urgently said, "There’s no time! Let’s go!"

Mu Yunlie pushed her with one hand, propelling Yan Qianyi towards a safe distance away from the car.

Yan Qianyi barely steadied herself and saw Mu Yunlie still hesitating. She yelled, "Ah Lie! Forget him! Hurry!"

Mu Yunlie’s brows were tightly furrowed as he asked the driver in a deep voice, "Who exactly sent you?"

The driver glanced at the time and suddenly laughed, "It’s too late now... I won’t let you know even if I die... hahaha..."

Yan Qianyi ran back desperately trying to pull Mu Yunlie away.

"Don’t come here!" Mu Yunlie barked, then swiftly moved away from the car.

He had just taken a few steps when suddenly, with a loud "boom", the car exploded.

Mu Yunlie leaped forward, flames bursting behind him, forcing Yan Qianyi to step back.

Mu Yunlie was thrown to the ground by the blast.

"Mu Yunlie!" Yan Qianyi rushed to him, afraid his bones might be injured, she cautiously avoided touching him, "Are you alright?"

A ringing noise filled Mu Yunlie’s ears, and amidst the urgent voice of Yan Qianyi, he coughed, "I’m fine... not dead."

Yan Qianyi then asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

He extended his clearly articulated hand. "Help me up... be careful of a secondary explosion."

Yan Qianyi quickly grasped his hand and helped him up.

They had just moved away when another explosion "boom" occurred behind them.

Once safe, she hurriedly checked Mu Yunlie’s body. "Where does it hurt? Let me see."

"It’s nothing, just some superficial injuries." Mu Yunlie recovered a bit and looked towards the car consumed by flames. "Couldn’t get anything out of him."

"It’s good that you’re unharmed," Yan Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief.

They had nearly been killed just a moment ago.

Seeing Mu Yunlie’s eyes coldly fixed on the burning car, the fire reflecting in his dark eyes, Yan Qianyi’s heart tightened again.

Could he be suspecting again that it was his brother who arranged everything?

This morning, she had just contacted her brother and then these two people came to pick them up.

Even she...

"Let’s go," Yan Qianyi suddenly grabbed Mu Yunlie’s hand, "Let’s head back."

If it really was her brother, entering the Royal Palace would only bring more danger to Mu Yunlie.

Mu Yunlie frowned, "Go back where?"

"To the Federation Empire, not seeing my brother."

Mu Yunlie’s lips curled into a cold smirk, "Now even you think this is all Yan Yao’s doing?"

"I..." Yan Qianyi bit her lip, honestly saying, "To be honest, I’m not sure, but for your safety, we should head back first."

At that moment, Yan Yao called her.

Yan Qianyi gave Mu Yunlie a look, lightly touched her headset, and answered.

"Qianyi! Where are you? The driver said he didn’t pick you up," Yan Yao’s voice was very anxious.

Yan Qianyi walked to the side, her voice low, "We were taken by someone else, we almost died just now."

"What?" Yan Yao quickly asked, "Where are you now?"

"Brother, we were also attacked last night at the hotel, I want to take Ah Lie back first, it’s too dangerous here."

"You... You’re suspecting your brother?"

Yan Qianyi remained silent, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her heart.

Yan Yao continued, "I don’t know how your itinerary was leaked, but believe your brother, I would never hurt you. I’m just not sure about Mu Yunlie, but he is officially your husband now! I have no reason to hurt him."

"He’s not just my husband in name, brother, I like him, I want to spend my life with him, I won’t allow anyone to hurt him!"

"I haven’t! Just tell me where you are, brother will come and get you right now!"

"Maybe..." Yan Qianyi was about to refuse, when Mu Yunlie suddenly gently patted her shoulder from behind.

She turned around and saw Mu Yunlie nodding at her.

After hesitating for a moment, she said to Yan Yao, "I’ll send you the location."

After hanging up the voice call, she looked puzzled at Mu Yunlie, "Aren’t you suspecting my brother? And still want to go to the Royal Palace?"

"Being suspicious isn’t certainty, we’re married now, we should at least meet."

We are here already, and Yan Yao as my uncle by marriage, is a must meet.

And also the words she said to Yan Yao a moment ago, he was very moved by them.

"Aren’t you afraid my brother will harm you?"

"Didn’t you just tell him that you won’t allow anyone to harm me?"

Not venturing, not gaining.

This trip wasn’t just for her.

He also wanted to take this chance to enter the Morris Empire’s Royal Palace.

To probe into the reality of the Morris Empire and see what kind of intentions the Morris Empire had towards the Federation Empire.

If Yan Yao truly harbored ill intentions towards him, he only needed to guard against secret attacks.

Should Yan Yao dare to openly oppose him, he would let Yan Yao know how severe the consequences could be.

Yan Yao was a smart man; he believed that Yan Yao wouldn’t make any foolish decisions.

Seeing that Mu Yunlie believed in her, Yan Qianyi felt a bit more relieved and subsequently sent the location to Yan Yao.
