Ever since being abducted by the rebel army and subsequently arriving on Planet Dynasty, Liao Ning had never suspected any involvement from the Liao Family.
In fact, it could be said that after the ancient food competition, the Liao Family had not caused her or Liao Nai any harm. Liao Ning had no desire to inherit the vast fortune of the Liao Family. Her sole fOcus was on raising Liao Nai safely and accomplishing her mission in this world.
However, if the Liao Family was indeed connected to the poisoning incident, she would undoubtedly become their target. Loya had released her out of selfishness, granting her a chance at survival. Otherwise, with the Liao
Familyâs methods, she would have undoubtedly perished this time, and even Liao Nai would not have survived.
âAuntie, does this have something to do with the Liao Family?â Liao Nai also observed the images displayed on the Al and sensed that something was amiss. Liao Ning gently stroked his hair. âDonât worry, I will handle this situation.â âIâll protect you too,â Liao Nai proclaimed earnestly, his gaze fixed on her.
Liao Ning returned the smile, but deep worry still lingered within her.
The situation was dire. It seemed that the Liao Family would not let her go. As a result, both she and Liao Nai would be in danger on Planet Dynasty. At least, they would be protected once they returned to the capital planet, and Zhou Ling would be safer there as well.
Liao Ning seized an opportunity to meet with Zhou Ling, and the two exchanged the latest developments. They were both taken aback by the revelations.
Zhou Ling remarked, âLiao Chen should be in charge of the Liao Family, but as far as I know, there has been no indication of any contact between him and n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Planet Dynasty.â
âLiao Chen?â
Just as Liao Ning found herself puzzled, another system notification chimed in.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new mission: Rescue loyal subjects. Mission content: Rescue Earl Bellâs family and expose the sins of the Sam Family. Mission reward: 2,000 system points, 50 million interstellar space coins. Additional mission reward: Obtain information about the Liao Family.]
[Ding! System Notification: Liao Chen is Liao Ningâs youngest uncle, the illegitimate son of Liao Ningâs grandfather. He has one missing twin sister. Liao Chen possesses significant resources and power within the Liao Family.]
Although the system didnât provide much information about Liao Chen, Liao Ning had some prior knowledge. It seemed that if she and Liao Nai were to inherit the family fortune, it would directly impact Liao Chenâs interests. He could potentially be the mastermind behind all this.
Worry etched across Zhou Lingâs face as he spoke, âLiao Chen maintains a low profile within the Interstellar Alliance, but he holds the same standing as the elders of the Liao Family. He should not be underestimated. You must be cautious. I will find an opportunity to send you and Liao Nai back.â
Liao Ning nodded in agreement and suggested, âCould you also investigate the connection between Sami and the Liao Family? Something feels off.â
âOf course, Iâll look into it. Earl Bell is scheduled for public execution in three days. Hold on to the information you have and find an opportunity to expose it.â
Liao Ning tightly gripped Zhou Lingâs hands and slipped a small bag of biscuits into them.
She blushed slightly and admitted, âThe ingredients here are limited, and you donât have to rely on nutritional supplements all the time. I made these for you.â
Zhou Ling lowered his head and examined the biscuits in his hands. It may not have been much, but he couldnât help but smile.
Meanwhile, Minnie endured torture in her cell.
âYou were following me that day, werenât you? You captured images of the contract as well?â Sami taunted, holding a needle and repeatedly rubbing it against his palm.
âIâve seen the security footage. You were holding the camera, right? But where is the video file? You even copied the Bell Familyâs surveillance footage. Where is it?â
Samiâs voice carried a twisted gentleness, unsettling Minnie. Her eyes were bloodshot, but she remained silent.
Despite the numerous marks on her body, Minnie refused to utter a single word.
âMinnie, youâre just a distant relative of Earl Bell. You donât have to die for the Bell Family, do you? If you hand over the documents, I will plead for your familyâs safety. Minnie, youâre a smart girl, arenât you?â
The needle in Samiâs hand traced back and forth across Minnieâs face, cutting her skin and drawing blood. Observing the drops of blood, Samiâs eyes glimmered with a mix of excitement and madness..
