Chapter 238: Chapter 238: As Long as You Say It, I Believe

Yan Yao released Yan Qianyi and smiled, "It’s my personal savings."

"Brother, why are you still hiding savings from your wife? Aren’t you two very close? And... where did you get so much private money?"

After brother went to study in the Morris Empire years ago, he never took another dime from the Yan Family.

Although he joined the military after graduation and performed excellently, soon becoming a commander,

the income of a soldier simply couldn’t compete with that of a businessman.

Even though brother is now a prince of the Morris Empire, the money in the national treasury isn’t his personal property.

Yan Qianyi suddenly thought of something and gasped, "Brother, you didn’t..."

Have some nefarious source of income, right?

Yan Yao flicked Yan Qianyi’s forehead, "What wild thoughts are you having? This money is all clean; your sister-in-law knows about it, and several billion of it was even given to me by her."

Yan Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief.

As a prince, brother had many eyes on him. If he were really involved in some misdeeds, it would eventually bring disaster.

"Why give it to me?" Yan Qianyi asked.

Yan Yao picked up the coffee from the coffee table and took a sip, "The Yan family has been usurped by that mother and daughter. The family business that mom built through hard work—do you really want to just hand it over to them?"

"Of course not."

"I can’t interfere with matters within the Federation Empire. Take this money; you’ll find it useful." Yan Yao looked at Yan Qianyi with a meaningful gaze, "You must already have a plan, right?"

He knew his sister well.

She was the type to pay back for every grievance and would never let herself be wronged or taken advantage of.

And she was also clever, always having schemes up her little sleeves.

If he wasn’t wrong, she was probably now racking her brain on how to take back Yan’s.

Yan Qianyi smiled, her eyes sly like a cat’s, "I do have a plan, and right now, I’m just a bit short on funds, but this money..."

"Then take it and use it. If you feel embarrassed, once Yan’s comes into your hands, just share some profits with me and your sister-in-law every year."

"Alright, I’ll count you shares then."

Yan Qianyi no longer held back.

Though she had many ways to make money, she couldn’t gather enough to buy Yan’s in a short period.

She had borne with Yan Ruyi and Han Yarong for too long.

Now with this money from her brother, she could go back and prepare thoroughly—it was time to make them pay.

"If it’s not enough, just tell me, and I’ll figure out a way to gather more for you."

"That should be enough; I can handle the rest myself."

Yan Yao patted Yan Qianyi’s shoulder, "You’ve had a long day; go back to your room and rest. The servants will call you when dinner is ready."

After saying this, Yan Yao stood up and walked towards the desk.

Yan Qianyi watched his back, hesitated for a moment, "Brother, those people... are they really not connected to you in any way?"

Yan Yao stopped, turned back to look at Yan Qianyi, and narrowed his brows slightly, "Qianyi, do you not trust your brother now?"

"Brother, I’m sorry... It’s not that I don’t trust you, just that this couple of times have been too strange. I want to hear it from you directly; as long as you say so, I’ll believe."

Seeing the frustration in her brother’s eyes, Yan Qianyi felt somewhat guilty.

In this world now, the only person she completely and unconditionally trusted was her brother.

Yan Yao looked serious, "It wasn’t me."

Yan Qianyi loosened her clenched hands and smiled, "Okay, I believe you."

If her brother had hurt Mu Yunlie knowing his identity, she really would have been in a difficult position.

Not because she was caught between her brother and Mu Yunlie.

But because she was caught between her brother and the Federation Empire.

She swore loyalty to the Federation Empire to death, so she hoped that the Morris Empire and the Federation Empire could be on good terms forever.

Yan Yao, with one hand wiping his suit pocket, stepped forward, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why do you suspect me? Did they act suspiciously?"

"The people who came last night said that I am the Prince’s sister and cannot be harmed. It was only this morning that brother said he would come to pick me up, and then those people showed up. Only brother and sister-in-law knew the hotel we were staying at."

"Listening to this, I indeed seem very suspicious." Yan Yao thoughtfully nodded his head, "But I have no reason to harm Mu Yunlie. Could it be... does Mu Yunlie have some identity I’m unaware of, so you think I have a motive to harm him?"

Faced with Yan Yao’s questioning gaze, Yan Qianyi was stunned for a moment.

Her brother had become sharper than two years ago.

Originally she was unsure whether her brother knew that Mu Yunlie was Nangong Jie’s grandson, which is why she suspected that those people were arranged by her brother.

"No, not at all." Yan Qianyi smiled lightly, "His identity is simply a teacher at the Federation Military Academy."

"To be honest, I have checked his background and couldn’t find anything. Does this mean he is hiding something?"

"The outstanding teachers at the Federation Military Academy are also protected by the Federation Empire, so of course, brother, you couldn’t find out. He has the highest Spiritual Power Value in our Special Department, and other countries definitely don’t want the Federation Empire to have such an excellent teacher, fearing that the Federation Empire might cultivate outstanding talents. That’s also why I suspected you."

Yan Qianyi’s explanation was very reasonable.

She had also doubted the blank information about Mu Yunlie in the past.

Now she understood it was because he was Nangong Jie’s grandson.

"I see." Yan Yao nodded, "Don’t worry, I said I would investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Yan Qianyi linked arms with Yan Yao, acting coquettishly, "Brother, don’t be mad at me about this, okay?"

"Silly girl, how could I possibly be mad at you?" Yan Yao smiled.

His sister was his precious treasure, no matter what she did, he could never be angry with her.

"So what troubling matter did you encounter yesterday?" Yan Qianyi asked.

"The Minister of Internal Affairs and the Foreign Affairs Minister were at odds, fighting fiercely yesterday, so I couldn’t take time out to meet you and Mu Yunlie."

Yan Qianyi pondered for a moment then reminded, "Brother, you should be cautious of the people around you. Someone who knew you were coming to the hotel this morning must definitely be someone close to you."

"Yes, I’ve been investigating. The driver who went to pick you up this morning has already been detained in the interrogation room, I’ll go check on the situation in a bit."

"Alright, then you go ahead, I’ll head back to the room to find Mu Yunlie."

Letting go of Yan Yao’s arm, Yan Qianyi was about to leave when Yan Yao suddenly asked, "Qianyi, do you really like Mu Yunlie?"

"Of course!" Yan Qianyi responded with a lovely smile, "I really like him."

"But previously you explicitly told me your marriage was an accident. What kind of accident was it, and why did you end up liking him?"

"That day we both got drunk and accidentally registered our marriage in the system. When we sobered up, I indeed planned to wait a year until the marriage term was up and then get a divorce. But as we spent time together, I realized we clicked well, and he was really good to me, so I decided to stick to my mistake and live my life with him from then on."
