Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love

Chapter 414 - 364 You’re absolutely right (Third Update)

Tong Airui hadn’t slept all night, tapping away at the keyboard in front of his computer.When Yi Luowa came over, he finally stopped.

"I didn’t dare to interrupt you, I’m risking my life to bring you breakfast." Yi Luowa placed the tray on the table and then took a big step back.

Tong Airui looked at her amusedly, "Why are you standing so far away from me? Afraid I’ll hit you?"

Yi Luowa pouted and nodded vigorously.

"Come here!"

"No!"

"If you don’t come over, I’ll come grab you, and see how I deal with you when I catch you!" Tong Airui pretended to get up, but his vision suddenly went black, and he sat back down.ong Airui smiled, "Join me for breakfast, then I have to go to the palace."

Yi Luowa lifted the milk cup to his mouth, "Then hurry and eat."

Tong Airui took a sip with her hand and then brought it to her lips, "Let’s eat together."

Yi Luowa took a sip and said with a smile, "You seem to be in a good mood."

"Whenever I see you, I’m in a good mood."

Yi Luowa smiled, sitting in his lap, and the two took turns finishing breakfast.

As Tong Airui and Yi Luowa went downstairs, Mi Chenshuo and Joyina were waiting with Mianmian.

Tong Airui playfully pinched Mianmian’s little cheek before saying to Mi Chenshuo, "I’ve already informed Juste of the specifics. After you arrive in Beidi, he will tell you. Third brother, I’ll handle the remaining matters, you focus on protecting these two little ladies!"

Mi Chenshuo heavily slapped Tong Airui on the shoulder, "Fourth, I won’t say thank you!"

"Say it and I’ll get mad!" Tong Airui laughed, "Quickly go, don’t keep Joyina’s parents waiting."

Everyone saw them—the little family of three—off to the car, and Tong Airui sent a team to escort them to the airport.

After Mi Chenshuo left, Tong Airui and Long Che got into the same car heading to the palace; today, the father and son wanted answers.

King Muta was slightly taken aback seeing them come in together.

"What wind brought you two together?"

Long Che chuckled lightly, "North wind!"

"North wind?" King Muta smiled and gestured for them to sit down.

Long Che sat down, but Tong Airui did not. He opened the briefcase in his hand, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to King Muta.

King Muta looked at the thick stack of documents, "Airui, it’ll take me until tomorrow at this time if I have to read all these. Briefly tell me, what’s happened?"

Tong Airui said solemnly, "My third brother’s first love was murdered. After she was killed, the one who killed her also targeted Princess Joyina’s life. Fortunately, Princess Joyina’s bodyguard risked his life to save her."

King Muta was taken aback, "This... how come I haven’t heard about it."

"This happened in Z nation."

"Oh, I see! Who’s so daring, even to target Beidi Princess’ life."

"The Lan family!" Tong Airui said, then steadily looked at King Muta.

Long Che also looked at King Muta expressionlessly.

King Muta’s mouth twitched slightly, "Which Lan?"

"Lan Ji and Lan Bo. The one who wanted Su Qing and Joyina dead was Lan Ji, and the one who took action was Lan Bo."

"Lan Ji and Lan Bo!" King Muta narrowed his eyes slightly, "Two kids, how dare they!"

Long Che’s lips curled slightly, "Daring or not, the deed’s been done! Rui’er, play that recording for your Uncle Muta."

Tong Airui took out a laptop, clicked on a folder, and soon, the sound of a conversation between Lan Ji and a man came from the computer.

"Please tell Emperor Haotian, if you want me to marry Bert, you have to show some sincerity! Although Su Qing is dead, Joyina is still alive. When she dies, I’ll marry Bert."

"We’ve cooperated with you fully, if she wasn’t killed, you can’t blame us."

"Can’t you send a few more assassins? I can have Lan Bo use that person’s number to call you, contact the assassins, no one will suspect you... Is Emperor Haotian afraid of a small Audrich family?"

"Lan Ji, the snake has been alerted. Killing Joyina now will easily be exposed, if a fight breaks out, Haotian will suffer!" Another voice took over in the recording.

Upon hearing this voice, King Muta knit his brows; it sounded very much like Emperor Haotian!

"This..." King Muta pointed at the computer.

Tong Airui paused the track, "You’re hearing right. That last voice sounds just like Emperor Haotian."

King Muta narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What does he want to do? We just helped them, and he turns around to provoke issues between us and Beidi? He also wants to plant a mole by my side."

King Muta paused, looking up at Tong Airui, "Repeat your last sentence."

Tong Airui glanced back at Long Che, "Dad, my Uncle Muta isn’t as foolish as you said..."

"What! Your dad said I’m foolish?" King Muta slapped the table, "Long Che, am I foolish? I call it lazy! With you and your son here, I’m too lazy to think!"

"Are you still lazy this time?" Long Che smiled, "Bert has been set up twice. See how lazy you can be!"

King Muta glared at him, then looked at Tong Airui, "The last voice, could it be someone imitating Emperor Haotian? Who is the person constantly plotting against us?"

"I don’t know who the impersonator is, but I know who ordered it." Tong Airui furrowed his brow slightly, "All of these things, from start to finish, were orchestrated by Kai Di alone, including the kitchen maid, the delivery worker, and the whole slew of messy matters afterwards."

"Is the evidence solid?" King Muta glanced at the stack of documents in front of him, "It’s all in here?"

"It’s all here."

"Let me analyze, you tell me if I’m right." King Muta tapped the documents on the table, "Kai Di has always wanted to take Emperor Haotian’s position, right?"

Tong Airui nodded, "It’s obvious to anyone."

"We helped Emperor Haotian eliminate Du Ma, Kai Di was afraid that if she rebelled one day, we would help Emperor Haotian again. So, she laid one trap after another, at first intending to alienate me from you and your father, then to alienate Xia Wu from Beidi, and finally to shift all the blame onto Emperor Haotian. The outcome she desires is: when they fight internally, we stand by and watch."

Tong Airui nodded, "You’re entirely correct."

King Muta frowned slightly, "She’s not simple; watching three steps ahead in every move, she wanted to alienate us and Beidi. It’s not just to prepare for her rebellion to ascend the throne, but also to secure her reign later on."

Tong Airui nodded again, "Exactly! Haotian’s geography is unfavorable. If we join forces with Beidi, they’ll be attacked from all sides."

King Muta looked at Long Che and smiled, "Tell me, how should I handle this?"

Long Che rubbed his forehead, "I’m getting a headache, can’t think of anything good. The only thing I can do now is try to prevent Beidi from going to war with us and Haotian. I just sent Shuoshuo and Joyina to Beidi, hoping they could appease the King of Beidi. I heard that once the King of Beidi heard that someone wanted to assassinate his daughter, he rallied his troops overnight, and he’s even thought of a slogan for his deployment: Flatten Haotian, drive straight to Xia Wu, and catch the real culprit to seek justice for the princess."

King Muta raised his eyebrows slightly, "The King of Beidi’s meaning is also yours, isn’t it?"

Long Che kept rubbing his head, "Rui’er, did your mom pack the medicine she wanted you to bring me?"

Tong Airui hurriedly took out a medicine bottle and water cup from another bag, "Take your medicine first."

"Long Che, what’s wrong with you?" King Muta walked over worriedly.

Long Che shook his head, "It’s nothing major, just at my age, I get a pounding headache when I get anxious or angry."

Long Che drank a few sips of water, swallowed the pills, and looked up at his son, "Help me back, I don’t want to faint here in the palace. You haven’t slept for four days and nights, come home with me and rest for a few days."

Tong Airui helped his father to his feet, apologizing to King Muta, "Uncle Muta, my dad and I will head back first."

"Long Che, don’t move yet, I’ll call a doctor to check on you. Once he says you’re okay, then you can leave." King Muta picked up the phone.

Long Che gave Tong Airui a look, and Tong Airui quickly said, "Uncle Muta, when I left home, Shanshan already checked my dad over, she said more rest for a few days would be fine. How about giving my dad three to five days off, let him relax a bit?"

King Muta glanced at Long Che and then at Tong Airui, "Alright, both of you should go and get some rest. I’ll handle matters here."
