I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Wen Yi pushed the door open and walked in. Huo Linyuan looked up and asked, "How is it?"

"We have found out the direction that Stian fled. As for Sang Mo's background, An Ye is still investigating. What should we do next?" Wen Yi said.

Huo Linyuan crossed his hands and supported his chin: "Let Zoe take charge of Stian's pursuit and kill him directly if necessary."

Wen Yi nodded and passed the order to Zoe. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you suspect that the person who died was not the real Sang Mo?"

Huo Linyuan suddenly asked him to thoroughly check Sang Mo's birth records, which made it easy for Wen Yi to guess his thoughts.

"Ling Qing found some things left by Lin Ke, and there are indeed some suspicious points. You should ask Anye to verify the records as soon as possible." Huo Linyuan said.

Because of the investigation, Ling Qing had read all the diaries before handing them over to Lin Che. After reading them, he and Qi Yan had the same questions.

Although Huo Linyuan did not react too much to this, these things undoubtedly deepened his suspicion. He had always had a strong intuition that things were not over.

After Wen Yi left, Han Jian walked in.

Today he was dressed as a soldier, still wearing the "human skin mask", and he came here because of an urgent news - Gan Sui was missing.

"The last time I contacted the captain was a week ago, and there has been no trace of him since then."

Han Jian's voice was low. Although he was wearing a "human skin mask", one could still clearly see the worry on his face.

"Before the captain disappeared, I received a warning message from him, but there was no content in the message."

"And just now, his terminal sounded an alarm. I'm worried that he might have met with an accident."

Han Jian stated his speculation in a deep voice. He was usually calm, but at this moment he broke the big taboo in the dark night and was unusually agitated.

In fact, it’s not his fault, because Han Jian was taught by Si Lin, and Si Lin is like a master and father to him.

Now that "father" is in trouble, it is inevitable that he will be emotionally agitated for a while.

Huo Linyuan frowned and asked, "Where is the last location displayed on the terminal?"

"In Andromeda." Han Jian said.

Upon hearing the location, Huo Linyuan fell silent, because the place where Huo Xiu Ze had invited him for a meeting was Andromeda.

However, Si Lin only sent a warning message to Han Jian but did not contact him, which means that the reason for the warning must be related to Huo Xiu Ze.

Huo Linyuan recalled the argument they had last time they met and couldn't help but clench his fists.

-

Qi Yan told Alade that he was going out for a while, and then he was about to go find Huo Linyuan. However, before he walked out of the door, Huo Linyuan came over first.

Without having the chance to ask him why he came, Qi Yan directly pulled him into the lounge, and then told him the diary and her speculation that there was more than one mastermind behind the scenes, Sang Mo.

Unexpectedly, Huo Linyuan said, "I already know about this."

However, when Qi Yan heard him say that he already knew it, instead of being discouraged, her nervous mood suddenly calmed down strangely.

It was at this time that he noticed that Huo Linyuan seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Gan Sui is missing." Huo Linyuan did not hide anything and told him what Han Jian had discovered.

Qi Yan was shocked after hearing this. He originally thought that the development of the story had been completely different, and everyone's ending would have changed accordingly, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape the original text.

The novel does not explain Gan Sui's ending until the end.

What exactly went wrong? Now that the imperial power has collapsed and the "rebirth" experiment has been destroyed by them, what other reasons could there be for Si Lin's disappearance?

Unlike Si Yue and Huo Xiu Ze, Si Lin stayed by Huo Linyuan's side from beginning to end and never left.

Moreover, he is the only person who has a blood relationship with Huo Linyuan now, and must be very important to Huo Linyuan. Qi Yan doesn't know how to comfort him.

Thinking about the meeting with Si Lin at that time, everything seemed to have a traceable path. Qi Yan recalled what Si Lin said to him at that time. Now it seemed that it was clearly a trust given before leaving when he was about to do something dangerous.

And from Si Lin's words, Qi Yan could clearly feel that he cared about Huo Xiu Ze a lot, and that kind of care was different from the care he had for Huo Linyuan.

"Is his disappearance related to Huo Xiu Ze?" After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yan asked the question in his mind.

"At least it's not unrelated." Huo Linyuan said.

Then, he told Qi Yan about the past of Si Lin and the Huo brothers and sisters.

It was mentioned earlier that after Si Lin escaped from the palace, he was rescued by Huo Guang. In fact, to be precise, the person who discovered Si Lin and rescued him was Huo Xiu Ze.

From then on, just as Huo Linyuan had told Qi Yan before, the rescued Si Lin stayed in the Huo family, and Huo Guang raised him like his own son.

Huo Xuanshuang and Si Lin are of the same age and grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Huo Xiu Ze is older than them and has always performed his duties as an older brother perfectly, acting as their guardian angel and cleaning up the mess for them when they were young.

The three of them had a very good relationship, and this friendship did not change even after Si Lin was brought back to the palace, and this relationship lasted until Huo Xuanshuang and Si Yue broke up.

Given Huo Xiu Ze's concern for Huo Xuanshuang and his hatred for Si Yue, he couldn't help but vent his anger on Si Lin after Huo Xuanshuang got into trouble.

But this was undoubtedly an extreme pain for Si Lin. The relationship between the three began to undergo subtle changes since then. In fact, to be precise, the relationship between Si Lin and Huo Xiu Ze reached a freezing point.

It was also at this time that Si Lin suddenly proposed to Huo Guang to join Dark Night.

No one knows what exactly happened to these people during that period.

But if we use one thing to describe the relationship between the three, then Huo Xuanshuang is the star, Huo Xiu Ze is the planet that revolves around her, and Si Lin is the satellite that has been silently accompanying the planet.

Huo Linyuan couldn't understand this kind of feeling before, until he met Qi Yan, he realized how strong the feeling of wanting to watch over someone and guard someone was.

After listening to his description, Qi Yan finally summarized a multi-angle relationship diagram: Si Lin loves Huo Xiu Ze, but Huo Xiu Ze loves Huo Xuan Shuang.

He didn't know whether to be shocked by the complicated emotional entanglements between the people, or to feel sad for their unrequited love.

Huo Xuanshuang loves Si Yue, but the two eventually part ways because of their different positions.

Huo Xiu Ze loves Huo Xuanshuang, but cannot say it out loud because of his status and worldly factors.

Si Lin loves Huo Xiu Ze, but because of this love he chooses to endure and protect him silently.

Qi Yan leaned her head on Huo Linyuan's shoulder. There were so many regrets and disappointments in the world. It was so rare for her to grasp this happiness.

He felt an inexplicable sadness, and at this moment he truly understood how Si Lin felt when he said those words to him.

Huo Linyuan rubbed his head and said, "These are all grudges from the previous generation. The right and wrong cannot be explained in a few words. Only they themselves know the love and hate."

"But there is one thing. Huo Xiu Ze invited me to a meeting, so I have to go."

No matter if it was because of the mastermind, Si Lin or Huo Xiu Ze, he had to go on this trip.

Hearing this, Qi Yan quickly said, "I want to go with you!"

Huo Linyuan pinched his cheek: "Of course."

Not to mention that it is still uncertain whether the mastermind behind the incident is dead or alive, even given the current chaotic situation, he is still worried about leaving Qi Yan alone.

After the previous incident with Sirius, he felt that he would only feel at ease if he kept Qi Yan by his side.

"Then when are we leaving?" Qi Yan asked.

"In two days, Esek will be renovating the Mocang." Huo Linyuan said.
