I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

There was nothing more to discuss at this point, but Yan Ziming suddenly rested his chin on his hands and asked with great interest:

"But I'm still a little curious, why did you think of kidnapping Si Mo back then?"

60. Muddy waters, a chaotic mess.

Half an hour ago.

Da da da da...

Inside the room, Su Yuchen stamped his toes impatiently, feeling extremely annoyed.

He desperately wanted to know if Si Mo was Yan Zi Mo's daughter. This question tormented him, making him restless and unable to do anything properly.

Just then, his communicator rang.

"Which one?"

"Your Majesty Su Yuchen, it is I, Amis."

"Oh, Your Excellency Speaker, just call me Su Yuchen. What can I do for you?"

Amis, the candidate sent by Odyssey to serve as the Speaker of the Community of Shared Future for Mankind, is one of the nine Speakers.

As the speaker of the Parliament of the Community of Shared Future for Mankind, his position is comparable to that of a national leader, or at the very least, on par with the prime minister, and his power is truly immense.

However, Su Yuchen was not too interested in any of these things. What did it matter if he was the chairman of the council or not? Even if he had supreme power, he still had to be addressed as "Your Majesty".

"Alright then, Mr. Su Yuchen, I just learned some interesting information. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"Tell me."

"Yan Ziming took Si Mo to the 'Royal Palace.' This is the first time we've tracked Si Mo out. Should we take this opportunity...?"

When Amis learned that the wisp of foam had appeared in the 'Royal Palace' area, she was somewhat tempted.

After all, Si Mo is elusive and impossible to track down. They happen to have a plan tonight, so they might as well give it a try.

From the perspective of international law, he automatically renounced Odyssey's nationality the moment he joined the community of shared future for mankind. But in reality, he still belongs to Odyssey, so naturally he still has to consider Odyssey's interests in everything he does.

The rise of the Silkworm will inevitably lead to the further decline of Odyssey.

Therefore, it is best to nip it in the bud before she has fully matured!

"Yan Ziming? Si Mo is here too?"

Su Yuchen frowned. He was actually quite concerned about the true relationship between Si Mo and Yan Zimo, and the opportunity had unexpectedly come to him.

But Yan Ziming is also there... This is not a good situation...

Hmm? Wait a minute, what Amis was trying to say just now seemed like she wanted to get rid of Si Mo?

Tsk tsk... Regardless of whether Si Mo is Yan Zi Mo's daughter or sister, if I get involved... no, even if I don't get involved, but Yan Zi Mo finds out that Odyssey was behind it, then my already slim chances can be officially over.

Su Yuchen immediately gave a stern order: "Without my command, no one is allowed to lay a hand on Si Mo."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts' or 'no.' I don't care about anyone else, but Si Mo is absolutely not allowed to move without my order!"

"All right..."

Amis had no choice but to agree, since Su Yuchen's strength made it impossible for him to insist on his own opinion.

"that's it."

After saying that, Amis hung up the phone, a hint of disdain on her face. "Hmph, that's why this guy isn't very reliable. We still have to rely on ourselves."

As the chairperson of the Community of Shared Future for Mankind, Amis's position within Odyssey was naturally quite high, and she had heard some of the things said.

For example, Su Yuchen only acts according to his own preferences...

I heard that the Great Sage personally approached him, hoping he would take up a position in the imperial system, but he refused.

Even in this Civilization Cup, his appointment as team leader was purely accidental. Su Yuchen had no intention of taking on this responsibility, but he suddenly took it upon himself. However, his true intentions were not what they seemed, and few people knew his real purpose, not even Amis.

With the Odyssey Empire on the verge of revival, this man remains as willful as ever, causing Amis to retain only superficial respect for Su Yuchen.

"Never mind him, Liuying."

"Yes." An indistinct figure emerged from the shadows behind him and knelt respectfully on one knee.

"Go and begin preparations, now," Amis commanded.

Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, "But... wouldn't it be a bit... if it were just us?"

"Don't worry, it's not just us who want to target those people in China. What we need to do is stir up this mess, the more chaotic the better. As for Si Mo... if the diversionary tactic succeeds, then let's make our move."

"Yes!"

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Su Yuchen paced back and forth in his room, desperately wanting to know the answer—was Si Mo really Yan Zimo's daughter?

Since asking wouldn't yield any results, I might as well just kidnap Sisi...

But Amis actually suggested taking action tonight... Could there be an operation targeting Chinese athletes tonight?

In that case, he might have a chance...

"No, I have to go! I have to find out!"

In the end, Su Yuchen decided to take the risk and personally take charge, otherwise he would be unable to eat or sleep properly.

.......

Under the cover of night, Su Yuchen arrived silently at the 'Imperial Palace' area. To avoid any possibility of being discovered, he simply walked over halfway there.

"found it..."

He observed Yan Ziming and Si Mo from the shadows. The two looked so alike... Su Yuchen felt that Si Mo was most likely Yan Ziming's daughter.

It is said that it is normal for twins to look alike, but a third child born a year or two later may look very different.

Ye Qianxue and Yan Ziming look to be about the same age, so it's understandable that they look alike due to genetics. However, Si Mo looks so much younger than Yan Ziming, yet they still look so alike, which doesn't quite fit the genetics.

Unless, of course, Si Mo and Yan Zi Mo are direct blood relatives, that is, so-called... mother and daughter.

boom!

"Aaaaaah—! You're asking for it!!!"

Su Yuchen felt a chill run down his spine. Sure enough, was there going to be an operation targeting China tonight?

With a roar from Murong Haiyi, Yan Ziming hurriedly moved over, and Su Yuchen seized the opportunity, reaching out a hand with a swirling motion to grab at Si Mo.

In just a few seconds, he achieved his goal.

However...

"?!"

Su Yuchen's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, his skin tightened, and his breathing became disordered—a reaction only seen when facing a mortal enemy.

The outstretched black hand paused for a moment.

The next second, Yan Ziming returned, and Su Yuchen cried out in alarm. If he were discovered, he would be finished!

run!

He dodged all of Yan Ziming's attacks, but dared not make a direct move, fearing both the exposure of his identity and the potential harm to her. Finally, he seized an opportunity to escape, but the attacks chasing after him still made his scalp tingle.

Just in time to dodge the spear of victory's thrust, Su Yuchen disappeared into the night.

.........

Time returns to the present.

"But I'm still a little curious, why did you think of kidnapping Si Mo back then?"

"..."

Su Yuchen recalled for a long time before finally covering his face and saying:

"What's the point of talking about this now... If I said I just wanted to ask if she's really your daughter, would you believe me?"

Su Yuchen's bitter smile hadn't stopped since the beginning, and he felt extremely wronged.

All I can say is... that everything just happened to coincide in a perfectly timed way.

Anyway, it's that one, right? ...It's that one.

It's a long story, but to make a long story short, it's too complicated to explain in a few words...

61. Aftermath

A community with a shared future for mankind, the highest-level conference room

This occasion, which is supposed to be serious and fair, is now in complete chaos.

"We strongly protest! Isn't what you're doing going too far?"

"Yes, have you considered the consequences of directly excluding ninth-tier individuals and resolving the issue by force?"

"Heh... Someone dares to intercept and kill our Chinese people in a place where we share a common destiny. Isn't this the reaction we should have?"
