2563 The Empress Won't Take Action?

Yu Qingliu grabbed a chair and sat down.

Everyone was here.

Joseph had just arrived. Seeing Yu Qingliu, he was the first to speak. "They haven't found Xinlan yet?"

"Mm."

Yu Qingliu frowned. His already ugly expression became even uglier. "I've searched the hotel but haven't found her. She should still be with them."

"Why did they capture her? Don't they know Xinlan's identity?" Joseph could not hold it in anymore.

This was Country M's territory, but they were repeatedly frustrated.

The events of the past few days had undoubtedly dealt them a huge blow.

It was maddening to sense their proud identity, status, and authority repeatedly challenged.

Yu Qingliu picked up his coffee and took a sip. Then, he gave him a fake smile. "Her friend said that she had already introduced herself. Do you think they don't know my granddaughter's identity? Those people are after the Yu family!"

Ji Ziyin was a newcomer to Country M.

Most of the news came from Yu Qingliu. Yu Qingliu did not tell her, she would not hear of it.

Only now did she learn that Yu Xinlan was kidnapped.

Ji Ziyin was shocked.

Instinctively frowning, she felt that this matter was too mysterious, but she was smart enough not to interrupt them. Instead, she continued to listen and pretended to be invisible.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Joseph massaged his temples and impatiently said, "It's them again?"

"I think so," Yu Qingliu said softly.

Joseph jumped to his feet with an ugly expression. He spoke quickly and angrily. "What exactly do they want!"

Ji Ziyin was shocked again.

However, Yu Qingliu was obviously an experienced person. He was not affected by Joseph's outburst.

"They keep provoking us. The Empress wants to teach them a lesson, but given her status, if she makes a move and word goes out, people will definitely gossip about her bullying the younger generation… As members of the reclusive families, we naturally have to do this for her. What do you think?"

Joseph's angry expression became complicated. He hesitated for a moment and asked Yu Qingliu tentatively, "You mean… we're doing it alone? The Old Ancestor won't interfere?"

Yu Qingliu just stared straight at him, as if mocking him for being afraid of a little girl.

Joseph felt Yu Qingliu's knife-like gaze. He turned his head away in embarrassment and avoided eye contact, refusing to give him a direct answer.

"Of course, I know that they're too arrogant, but… why isn't the Old Ancestor doing anything? Logically speaking, we shouldn't be the only ones to resolve this matter."

This was not a joking matter.

Doctor Qiao had used a Gamma missile, and there was the shadow of the Continent F's arms dealer behind it.

Of course, he wanted to take this opportunity to please the Empress, but the royal family was only an ordinary member of the reclusive families, after all. Their strength was limited.

Joseph did not have Yu Qingliu's ambition to climb up the ranks. He just hoped that everyone in the royal family would be safe and sound. He did not want to take the risk.

"If the Old Ancestor refuses to help, I… I can only borrow some of your people to find Xinlan. As for the rest, I'll wait to see what the Old Ancestor does."
