The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Yang Xia spoke these words calmly. He had to play this role to the extreme and not arouse any suspicion.

He must make Liu Zhixiu of the Red Cake Kingdom completely believe him. His plan to lure the snake out of its hole is indeed ingenious and unpredictable.

Yang Xia also went to great lengths, even at any cost.

Yang Xia's words were witnessed by Song Jitian, the leader of the Yan Kingdom. When he saw Yang Xia's live broadcast, he was greatly surprised.

"Strange... What's wrong with Yang Xia? Why is he so recklessly slandering Yan Guo in the live stream?"

"Why would someone utter such offensive remarks? Has Yang Xia really changed his personality drastically? It seems this matter definitely needs to be investigated thoroughly."

"We must find a way to verify with Sun Zhengming and see what exactly happened in Yan State. This matter is of great importance and cannot be allowed to continue."

Song Jitian felt a growing sense of unease and began to worry about the relationship between Yan Kingdom and Yan Kingdom.

If their relationship breaks down, it will have serious consequences for both of them.

Song Jitian couldn't wait to write a secret letter and send it to Sun Zhengming as soon as possible.

After receiving the confidential letter, Sun Zhengming understood that he had a responsibility to explain the matter clearly.

Sun Zhengming quickly reported the matter to Song Jitian, the leader of Yan Kingdom. Only then did Song Jitian realize that it was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

All of this was orchestrated by Yang Xia himself, who intended to expose the mastermind behind it all.

Song Jitian smiled and said with admiration, "This Yang Xia... seems to have a lot of ideas. His wisdom is beyond imagination."

"This courage is commendable, daring to say these things directly in the live broadcast. It seems that this time he was really angered."

Just then, Yang Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration. To make the scene seem more realistic...

He now urgently needs the cooperation of the Yan Kingdom to continue this charade as soon as possible.

After having this idea, Yang Xia went to Song Jitian for help.

When Song Jitian received this secret call, he was indeed somewhat surprised.

"Your Majesty... I wonder what your plan is? I truly admire you; you've gone to great lengths to lure the snake out of its hole."

Yang Xia sighed helplessly and began to explain the situation to Song Jitian.

"Chief...we had no choice. Now I would like to ask you to cooperate with me in this charade so that we can find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, he will come up with other ways to sow discord between the two Yan states. The consequences of that would be quite serious."

"We must act in advance and nip their plot in the bud. We cannot allow them to harbor such thoughts, nor can we give them any opportunity to take advantage of us."

Song Jitian listened to Yang Xia's idea and also felt that it made a lot of sense.

Yang Xia and Song Jitian secretly planned everything behind the scenes, and Song Jitian readily agreed to Yang Xia's request.

They were willing to cooperate with Yang Xia and continue the charade. Some were even somewhat anticipating the final outcome.

It is believed that, under Yang Xia's scheme, this mastermind will soon be exposed.

However, Meng Yu and Sun Zhengming still felt somewhat worried, thinking that Yang Xia's actions were far too risky.

They went to persuade Yang Xia, hoping he would think twice before acting.

"Your Majesty... are you really determined to do this? Although we both know the truth, how do you plan to explain this to the fans?"

"They'll be very disappointed in you, and it might have a huge impact on your live stream. Have you really thought this through?"

Despite his reluctance and unwillingness to lose his fans, Yang Xia listened to Meng Yu and Sun Zhengming's persuasion.

But faced with the relationship between the two Yan Kingdoms, Yang Xia had no choice but to make a decision; he had no other option.

Yang Xia sighed helplessly, looked up at Sun Zhengming and Meng Yu and said:
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Now that things have come to this, we must handle this matter properly."

"Making these sacrifices now is meaningful for the sake of Yan Kingdom and its future development. I believe my fans can understand my good intentions."

"After this matter is over, I will reveal the truth to my fans, sincerely apologize, and try to gain their understanding."

Sun Zhengming and Meng Yu looked at Yang Xia and felt truly sorry for him.

But this matter is of great importance, and they cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

Otherwise, they would surely alert the enemy. If word got out, all their efforts would be in vain.

Sun Zhengming and Meng Yu said nothing more, but silently supported Yang Xia from behind.

The leader of Yan Kingdom, Song Jitian, cooperated very well after receiving Yang Xia's request.

They quickly reduced their trade and exchanges with Yan, and did so quite obviously.

In just a few days, the relationship between the two countries underwent a significant change.

They even became like sworn enemies, with a strong sense of tension between them. Upon learning of this, Liu Zhixiu, the leader of the Red Cake Kingdom, smiled even more broadly.

"Excellent... It seems my trick really worked. If we can incite hostility between Yan Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, this will be a golden opportunity for Red Cake Kingdom."

"It seems the time is ripe, and it's time for me to make my move. I hope everything goes smoothly and I can turn this passive situation around."

Liu Zhixiu was smug, truly believing that she had the upper hand.

He eagerly found his adjutant and urgently gave the order:

"Lieutenant...send someone to Yan Kingdom as soon as possible to inform Yang Xia that I wish to have an audience with him in person."

"You should also begin preparations for this. I will set off immediately once the news is out."

Upon hearing Liu Zhixiu's idea, the adjutant immediately felt worried.

"My lord... please think it over carefully. This matter is far too important. If our plan is discovered, you will be in grave danger."

"We must come up with a foolproof plan to ensure your safe exit. Otherwise, I really can't rest easy."

The adjutant patiently persuaded Liu Zhixiu, hoping he would reconsider and see how to resolve the matter.

But the impulsive Liu Zhixiu wouldn't listen to her adjutant's advice and insisted on her own way.

Yang Xia was indeed delighted after the news spread, as he had been thinking the same thing. He didn't expect Liu Zhixiu to take the bait so quickly.

"Humph……"

Yang Xia snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "It seems that Liu Zhixiu really can't hold back anymore. Since you have this intention, then I don't need to go through any more trouble."

"I'll wait here for his good news and see what he intends to do. I'm really looking forward to it."

Liu Zhixiu rode at full speed, rushing to Yan Kingdom in just three days, disregarding everything else.

When he set foot on Yan Kingdom territory, Meng Yu had already made full preparations.

He quickly reported the news to Yang Xia. Yang Xia looked astonished.

"He arrived quite quickly; it seems he was indeed in a hurry. Now that he has set foot on Yan Kingdom territory..."

“Then we will welcome him with the etiquette of the Yan Kingdom, and even treat him as an honored guest.” A meaningful smile flashed across Yang Xia’s face, and he instructed Meng Yu to begin preparing the relevant matters.

Yang Xia welcomed Liu Zhixiu with the highest level of courtesy. His plan was progressing steadily.

Upon learning of Liu Zhixiu's arrival, Yang Xia went to greet her with great enthusiasm.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhixiu was overjoyed, feeling that her opportunity had finally arrived.

Yang Xia greeted Liu Zhixiu with a smile and expressed his welcome to her in a very polite manner.

"Your Majesty... Yan Kingdom welcomes your arrival. May I ask what brings you here today?"

"If there is anything wrong with our Yan Kingdom's hospitality, we hope that our leader will forgive us."

"Although our Yan Kingdom is a land of etiquette, we are still willing to accept everyone's suggestions, and we will make improvements as needed."

Seeing Yang Xia's politeness, Liu Zhixiu was secretly delighted, feeling that she had received the highest honor.

He had a big smile on his face, seemingly quite satisfied with everything before him.

After Liu Zhixiu entered the main hall, she began to talk with Yang Xia, but her words were always derogatory towards Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty... I have heard that recent events have upset you somewhat."

“I also watched your live stream. These people from Yan are really too cunning. They always think too highly of themselves and don’t take us seriously at all.”

"You are absolutely right. They certainly have a lot of wicked ideas. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and quick-witted and saw through all of this early on, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Yang Xia listened carefully to Liu Zhixiu's words and found them utterly absurd and laughable.

On the surface, Yang Xia always agreed, wanting to see what tricks the cunning Liu Zhixiu was up to.

Yang Xia smiled slightly and nodded to Liu Zhixiu.

"Chief...you are absolutely right. It was all my negligence, and I truly failed to see the true face of the Yan Kingdom."

"I really appreciate your reminder. It's not too late to salvage the situation now, and the damage hasn't been too great."

Yoo Ji-soo burst into laughter, feeling that her plan was going exceptionally smoothly.

He didn't expect to see results so quickly, which even made him a little complacent.

Seeing Liu Zhixiu's expression, Yang Xia was indeed somewhat annoyed, but it was not the right time yet, so he could only suppress his anger.

Liu Zhixiu approached Yang Xia with a beaming smile, her face full of flattery.

"Your Majesty... In fact, my Red Cake Kingdom has always greatly admired your wisdom, but we have never had the opportunity to cooperate."

"Now that such a good opportunity has presented itself, I hope Your Majesty will consider it. My Red Cake Kingdom will certainly give Your Majesty your full support."

"As long as the Red Cake Country can cooperate with the Yan Country, it will surely promote trade development and even bring greater benefits to the Yan Country."

Yang Xia watched intently as Liu Zhixiu praised the Red Cake Kingdom, practically regarding it as a superior celestial empire.

Yang Xia couldn't listen to it anymore and didn't want to continue acting. He just wanted to see Liu Zhixiu's true colors.

I want to know how he will handle this, what excuses he will use, or even how he will shirk responsibility.

Yang Xia turned to look at Meng Yu, who was standing to the side in a fit of rage, and smiled slightly.

"Meng Yu... Go and bring the things up so the leader can take a good look. I wonder if he will be satisfied."

Yang Xia acted very mysteriously, while Liu Zhixiu, standing to the side, was full of anticipation.

He believed that Yang Xia must have prepared a surprise for him, perhaps a formal document outlining their cooperation.

This made Yoo Ji-soo somewhat expectant, and she even waited there with bated breath.

Meng Yu looked up at Liu Zhixiu and respectfully replied to Yang Xia, "Yes... Your Majesty."

With that, Meng Yu withdrew, while Liu Zhixiu sat there with a joyful expression, clearly impatient.

As long as his plan succeeds, and as long as the Red Cake Kingdom can cooperate with the Yan Kingdom, it will be an important asset for the Red Cake Kingdom.

Not long after, Meng Yu appeared in the main hall with Chu'er, whose skin was torn and bleeding.

The atmosphere changed instantly, and Yoo Ji-soo's expression also turned somewhat strange. He frowned slightly as he looked at the scene before him.

Yang Xia immediately stopped smiling, his expression turned serious, and his gaze became unusually sharp.

Liu Zhixiu slowly stood up, and when she saw Chu'er, who was covered in bruises, her heart trembled.

Before Liu Zhixiu could say anything, Yang Xia slowly stood up and walked step by step to Liu Zhixiu.

"Humph……"

Yang Xia sneered and stared at Liu Zhixiu with sharp eyes: "Chief... can you give me an explanation? What exactly does this mean?"

"Why would someone from your Red Cake Kingdom appear in my Yan Kingdom? Do you know what he has done? I am indeed curious whether you would find this person very familiar upon seeing him."

Upon hearing Yang Xia's question, Liu Zhixiu immediately feigned innocence, even pretending to be stupid in front of everyone.

He stared at Yang Xia with wide eyes, his face full of astonishment.

"Your Majesty... I really don't understand what you mean. Are you doubting me?"

"So you suspect that I am a spy planted here? That's outrageous. I really don't know anything about it."

"Wouldn't that be like shooting myself in the foot? How could I do such a thing? You must not listen to slander. My Red Cake Kingdom has always held the Yan Kingdom in great awe."

"Your Majesty...you must investigate this matter thoroughly. Our Red Cake Kingdom cannot be blamed for this. Someone must be sowing discord and saying this on purpose."

Liu Zhixiu kept defending Hongbing Kingdom and herself, and had no intention of admitting the matter at all.

This infuriated Yang Xia. Now that the witnesses were in front of him, Liu Zhixiu still refused to admit it.

As if testing everyone's intelligence and patience, Yang Xia's face revealed a strange smile as he looked at Liu Zhixiu with cold eyes.

"Is that so... Your Majesty, if this matter has nothing to do with the Red Cake Kingdom, then this person truly deserves to die for daring to slander the Red Cake Kingdom."

"It seems he truly deserves to die. I should take his life immediately so he can no longer speak and thus be unable to slander the Red Cake Kingdom."

Without hesitation, Yang Xia turned around, drew Meng Yu's sword, and stabbed it fiercely at Chu'er.

Seeing Yang Xia's actions, Liu Zhixiu panicked, wishing she could end his life immediately.

He rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed Yang Xia's sleeve tightly.

"Your Majesty...please do not act rashly. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding. I think it would be best to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Perhaps he is being used by someone, and that person must be from Yan Kingdom. They are always cunning, so we must be careful and not fall into their trap."

Yang Xia turned around and looked at Liu Zhixiu, who was spouting lies, and felt quite helpless.

He had never seen such a shameless person, lying without batting an eye and constantly slandering others behind their backs. (End of Chapter)
