Tong Airui went to the hall and inford her mother-in-law and mother of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Queen Haotian was visibly upset. She cared little about the high-level negotiation eting; what enraged her was her daughter being humiliated.
"The negotiation eting is nothing you need to worry about, everything has long been arranged." Queen Haotian stood up, "I’ll go check on Luo Wa. That child must be feeling awful."
"Mom." Tong Airui stopped her mother-in-law, "You don’t need to worry about her. She’s far stronger than you imagine. When she learned about this, Luo Wa wasn’t bothered at all and even helped analyze the current situation. The only thing we both thought of is still the negotiation eting."
"The security inside and outside the venue is even stronger than when Luo Wa visited the ancestral temple, there’s no way anything will go wrong." Queen Haotian said confidently.
Tong Yao worriedly looked at her son, "Can you get in touch with your grandmother and the others?"
"We’re always in contact. Over there, any smallest disturbance doesn’t even need them to call —my phone rings automatically."
Tong Yao let out a long sigh of relief.
Tong Airui frowned slightly, "I’ll send so more personnel to the venue. I’ve already stationed people in R Nation too. This matter must be resolved quickly, or it will be too infuriating."
Queen Haotian paced back and forth angrily in the hall. "Once your father finishes his etings, tell him to send the Dark Souls out as well. I refuse to believe we can’t catch her!"
Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly, "It won’t be easy to find her. Our eighth team and Youyou have been stationed there for so long without any news. However, if we can’t find her this ti, no one is pulling back."
"Don’t rush; a fox will always show its tail." Tong Yao walked over, "As long as she’s human, she’ll leave traces."
"Mm." Tong Airui nodded and picked up his phone, calling Yuan Hang to personally lead people and guard the venue.
The high-level negotiation eting lasted the entire afternoon. After the banquet concluded, Emperor Haotian and Long Che returned to the sleeping quarters with the children.
Soon, the two fathers learned about the matter as well. Long Che, known for his temper, erupted right away. Uncle Che slamd the table forcefully, "Tong Airui, you’ve lived for nothing! Your own wife gets bullied, and instead of confronting it head-on, you’re sneaking around investigating? Can’t you act tough for once? Issue a global manhunt imdiately! Whoever dares to shelter her, wipe them out!"
Tong Airui’s lip twitched fiercely, "Dad, I don’t have the authority to issue that manhunt."
"Then I’ll issue it!" Long Che took out his phone, his face dark.
"Let ." Emperor Haotian said in a deep voice, "Actually, I’ve thought of issuing the manhunt before, but the second we do, Nancy’s life is forfeit. If we want to use her to lead us to the people pulling strings behind her, that plan will be ruined."
Long Che furrowed his brows and stared at him, "At this point, it’d be better to get rid of her sooner rather than let her continue to insult Luo Wa. As for the people behind her, we can take our ti finding them later. Raise the bounty on the manhunt’s notice, I’ll cover the cost."
"My daughter is my responsibility, I’ll cover this cost!" Emperor Haotian, visibly ruffled, strode into the study.
Long Che shouted toward the door of the study, "Luo Wa is my daughter-in-law! She’s part of the Aldrich family. If I say I’ll pay, then I’ll pay!"
Tong Yao gave him an exasperated look, "Lower your voice, or people might think you’re arguing with soone again!"
"You’re absolutely right—I actually do feel like arguing with soone! I’ve never encountered anything so frustrating!" Long Che said darkly, glaring at his son, "Listen up, Tong Airui! In the future, if anyone dares to bully our family, you confront them head-on. If confrontation doesn’t work, fight back. You’re the King of the Fang Yao Continent; people should fear you, not the other way around."
Tong Yao’s face darkened as she looked at her furious husband, "Long Che, have you forgotten how you used to teach Rui’er? If you teach him this way now, do you want him to beco a warlord?"
"If you don’t beco a warlord, you’ll just keep being bullied. Tong Airui, forget everything I taught you before! When you return, strengthen the weapons of the Divine Eagles. From now on, if soone infuriates you, strike back imdiately."
Tong Airui raised his eyebrow slightly, "Alright! I’ll follow your instructions."
Truthfully, this aligned with his thoughts as well. But above him were the Pri Minister and the King—two colossal figures looming over him. He couldn’t launch an expedition without layer upon layer of reports. Now that even the Pri Minister has spoken, what does he have to fear anymore?
Tong Yao reluctantly rubbed her temples. Seeing Queen Haotian looking at her, she sighed and said, "Don’t mind him; Long Che loses all restraint when he’s worked up."
Queen Haotian gently helped her sit down, speaking softly, "I actually think it’s a good thing! At least now, he’s standing strong and no one dares to push us around anymore. Haotian has endured years of internal war. The nation isn’t prosperous, nor are its people strong, and its military barely ranks in the middle-lower tier. On the Fang Yao Continent, we almost have no real status. If that weren’t the case, those people wouldn’t have dared set their sights on us."
