Chapter 270: Missing Liao Nai
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liao Ning gazed helplessly at the king, fully aware that the royal family had crossed a moral boundary.
Although her access to the Al had been restricted in the past to isolate her from the outside world and prevent any potential trouble, she accepted this fate. Her mission was accomplished, and her next step was to seize an opportunity to escape Planet Dynasty and seek refuge away from the grasp of the Liao Family.
As expected, upon returning to her room, Liao Ning was greeted by a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission of rescuing loyal subjects. The mission reward has been released. Please review it.]
Additional Mission Reward: Information on the Liao Family
Liao Chen: The current manager of the Liao Family, holding comparable status to senior members of the family. He possesses authority over most of the family’s assets.
Liao Chen has a twin sister named Liao Xi, who resides on Planet Dynasty.
Liao Chen has the ability to transform into a white wolf, but his bloodline is impure. His vital signs are problematic, and his condition remains unknown.
Accompanying the system’s reward was a picture of Liao Chen and his sister from their childhood.
The moment Liao Ning laid eyes on the image, she was left utterly dumbfounded. Liao Xi bore a striking resemblance to Sami. This picture confirmed one truth to Liao Ning: Sami was not a spy for the Liao Family; she was, m tact, a memDer or tne Liao Family. saml was Liao xrs aaugnter.
And Liao Xi resided on Planet Dynasty, implying that she was the mysterious Madame rarely seen at Earl Sam’s residence.
Liao Ning’s anxiety grew as she realized she couldn’t use the Al to contact Zhou Ling or share the crucial information she had uncovered.
Just as her apprehension reached its peak, the system delivered yet another notification.
[System prompt: Villain No. 1 possesses an evil value of 30%. Please purify Villain No. 1 promptly.]
It was at that moment Liao Ning noticed the absence of Liao Nai, who hadn’t returned from his classes. Uncertainty gnawed at her. Something must have gone wrong.
She attempted to open the door, but the guards intervened, reminding her of the king’s orders. “Lady Liao, you are forbidden from wandering the castle.”
“I don’t intend to leave, but where is my nephew? Hasn’t he returned from school yet? What’s the reason for the delay?”
Witnessing Liao Ning’s distress, the guards too became puzzled. The noble children had limited classes, and Liao Nai wasn’t one to roam aimlessly through the castle alone.
“What could be happening?” Liao Ning found strength in Zhou Ling’s timely arrival.
“My nephew hasn’t returned. Is something amiss?
With a composed expression, Zhou Ling reassured her, “Lady Liao, do not worry. I will find him and bring him back safely.”
Liao Ning felt a surge of relief as Zhou Ling’s presence provided her with renewed confidence. She knew she had to locate Liao Nai as quickly as possible.
Zhou Ling inquired about the circumstances surrounding Liao Nai’s early departure that morning, seeking any relevant details. Only then did he realize that all the noble children had already returned from school, except for Liao Nai, whom no one had seen throughout the day.
As Zhou Ling tirelessly searched for Liao Nai, a maid arrived at Liao Ning’s room, carrying a box of fresh ingredients.
“Halt!” The guard interjected, blocking the maid’s path.
Wearing a sweet smile, the maid responded, “These ingredients were sent as a token of gratitude from the individuals who were cured of the poison. They wish to express their appreciation, Lady Liao.”
With an air of nonchalance, the maid opened the box and continued, “They have also sent some for you, Your Highness, which I have delivered. These are specifically for Lady Liao. If you doubt me, you may inquire with Her Highness.”
The maid’s demeanor seemed completely natural. Observing that the box contained only ordinary ingredients, the guard allowed the maid to enter.
Upon hearing the door open, Liao Ning rose to her feet.
The maid smiled warmly. “Lady Liao, these are the ingredients sent by the people whose lives you saved. They wish to express their gratitude for your heroic actions.”
The maid selected a bunch of green grapes and spoke deliberately, “You must try these grapes. I heard that your nephew adores them as well.”
Placing the box down, the maid exited the room.
Liao Ning swiftly seized the green grapes. As expected, one of the grapes in the center bore a slight scar on its surface. Carefully peeling back the skin, she discovered a miniature Al chip concealed within. Upon contact with her skin, the chip dissolved seamlessly.
Instantly, her Al received an invitation. Liao Ning beheld Sami’s pallid face illuminated under dim lighting.
“Liao Ning, who is this?”
