CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 479: MUST GIVE AN EXPLANATION

After sitting down, Mu Yunlie said, "The Commander has already briefed me on the specifics of what happened, and I will be speaking on his behalf from this point on. I will also represent him in handling the subsequent matters."

Afterwards, Mu Yunlie relayed the details of the incident to Yan Yao.

From the trap designed by Dempsey to Vanessa’s imprisonment.

After listening, Yan Yao was furious. "He’s outrageously bold! To disrupt the peace between the two countries, he dares to do such things!"

Andelle lowered her head in shame, "I’m sorry..."

Yan Qianyi quickly said, "Sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, there’s no need for self-reproach."

"But Dempsey is after all my uncle, and it was because of this relationship that I gave him so much power before." Andelle looked at Mu Yunlie, "Ah Lie, don’t start doubting me and Yao because of this. We truly wish for both countries to sign a peace treaty, and we have been looking forward to attending your and Qianyi’s wedding."

Mu Yunlie said, "I know, Qianyi believes in you, and I believe in you as well."

"Will the Cold-faced Commander believe it?" Andelle was still worried, fearing that this matter would spoil the friendship between the two nations.

The Cold-faced Commander showed not even a hint of his face, and she was concerned that he might have already formed prejudices against them in his heart.

"He will believe it too, I said, my coming here tonight is to represent him fully."

"That’s good," Andelle was finally relieved.

"However..." Mu Yunlie added, "Dempsey must still provide an explanation to the Federation Empire for his actions. The people who came to the Morris Empire this time, aside from me and the Commander, include Deputy Officer Pei. No one else has been exempted, including our Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Federation Empire. If the Morris Empire does not give a satisfactory explanation, the Federation Empire will not let this go."

Mu Yunlie’s tone was somewhat assertive.

For Yan Qianyi’s sake, he had already conceded a lot in the negotiations for the peace treaty.

Now, having sacrificed so many lives, he was not just Yan Qianyi’s husband but also the Commander of the Federation Empire.

The people all said that he was the Guardian God of the Federation Empire.

So, as the Guardian God of the Federation Empire, he had to seek justice for those wronged spirits!

Yan Yao nodded, "Tomorrow, I will conduct an investigation and trial of Dempsey, and I will definitely provide an explanation to the Federation Empire. As for Vanessa, she has been..."

"Our Commander executed her privately. The Federation Empire also lost a Minister of Foreign Affairs. An eye for an eye doesn’t seem excessive, right?" Mu Yunlie’s expression was cold.

If it weren’t for Yan Qianyi, this incident would have been sufficient to cause the Federation Empire to openly use military force against the Morris Empire in retaliation.

Those who died had come with him, but he couldn’t protect them; their lives were sacrificed in vain.

If it had been his old self, he would never have been able to sit here and talk to Yan Yao so calmly.

Being able to do so now, he had done all that he could, both kindly and rightfully.

Yan Yao’s expression stiffened, "Not excessive."

Vanessa deserved to die, but as a person of the Morris Empire, no matter the crime, she ought to have been judged and sentenced by the Morris Empire.

Not executed privately by the Commander of the Federation Empire.

Yan Yao and Mu Yunlie shared a similar mindset.

Similarly, for the sake of his sister, he too had to compromise.

Indeed, the Morris Empire was at fault initially.

Yan Qianyi had been silent and not speaking up until now, sensing that Mu Yunlie was emotional and that her brother was caught in the middle and in a tough position.

She asked with concern, "Brother, Dempsey has considerable power; can you really handle him?"

After all, Dempsey was the Military Minister of the Morris Empire.

Previously, the real power in the Morris Empire wasn’t in the hands of the Royal Family.

It was only after her brother and sister-in-law took the throne that they wrested the real power back.

She worried that her brother would bring great trouble upon himself by moving against Dempsey now.

Yan Yao frowned and said, "Whether I can or cannot, I must act. Keeping him is a disaster for the Morris Empire. He disrupted peace and deliberately provoked war between the two countries. If I have concrete evidence, he won’t escape punishment."

Andelle expressed her concerns, "But now in this matter, only the Federation Empire’s Commander and Deputy Officer Pei are eyewitnesses. With just the two of them testifying about Dempsey’s actions, it might still not be enough to sanction Dempsey. Those around him are very tight-lipped."

Yan Yao said through gritted teeth, "No matter how tight, I can pry them open."

"Brother, I have a recording. It was given to me by the person I hired; she tapped into Dempsey’s personal system and the phone call recordings can prove Dempsey’s actions."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yao was startled, "That powerful? She managed to tap into Dempsey’s personal system?!"

Andelle also looked at Yan Qianyi in surprise.

As the Military Minister of the Morris Empire, Dempsey used a military-grade personal system.

It contained many secrets of Morris’s military politics with very high security measures, having undergone numerous hacking tests unsuccessfully in the past.

Mu Yunlie, on the other hand, appeared very calm.

"She" was indeed capable; he had experienced that for himself.

When he acquired shares in Yan’s company, Yan Qianyi had not known it was him and had traced his personal system.

Ah Chang’s defensive measures were as strong as the Federation Empire’s main systems.

Yet at that time, it had almost been breached.

Seeing the expressions on Yan Yao and Andelle’s faces, Yan Qianyi explained, "Brother, don’t worry. She only tapped into Dempsey’s phone calls, she won’t steal Morris Empire’s secrets; she has professional ethics."

Though she said this, Yan Yao was still uneasy.

Seeing his brow still furrowed, Yan Qianyi apologized, "Brother, I’m sorry. I was anxious to find Ah Lie, so I had someone do this. But I can swear on my life that anything in Dempsey’s personal system related to Morris Empire secrets will absolutely not be leaked out!"

In fact, when she had Hei Zai do this, she also considered this issue.

Moreover, Hei Zai was a Prince of the Federation Empire, who could take the opportunity to steal military secrets from the Morris Empire.

But in her urgency to find Ah Lie, she hadn’t been able to consider that much at the time.

She also reminded Hei Zai to maintain professional ethics, not to steal any other secret information from Morris Empire in Dempsey’s personal system.

Later, she thought that, with Hei Zai’s capabilities, even if it weren’t at her request, if he wanted other countries’ military secrets, he could obtain them.

Therefore, she did not dwell on the matter further.

She also trusted Hei Zai, who wouldn’t break his word.

"If you put it that way, what can I say?" Yan Yao smiled helplessly, "After all, there’s a reason behind it, and now it’s just important that both countries can successfully sign the peace treaty."

"Then I’ll send you the recording after I organize it; it should be of some help, right?"
