Upon seeing that Liao Ning was not shackled, he furrowed his brow. “Why wasn’t she restrained?”

Crete, now cautious of making any errors, swiftly grabbed the electronic handcuffs and secured them around Liao Ning’s wrists.

Tina glanced at Liao Ning apologetically, but Liao Ning shook her head, understanding the necessity of the situation.

Liao Ning was no longer concerned about trivial matters. She needed to discover why the rebel army had captured her and how she could escape.

The group of them settled inside the invisible flying car. The car’s surroundings had transformed into transparent glass, enabling Liao Ning to observe her surroundings.

Finally, the flying car landed on a small island, which served as the rebel army’s command center.

The guards examined their credentials and scanned them before granting entry. They traversed a lengthy corridor and eventually reached Li Xian’s office.

Crete lightly knocked on the door, and a cold male voice came from within.

“Enter.”

Crete pushed open the door, guiding Liao Ning and Tina into the office.

As Liao Ning caught sight of the man behind the desk, watching her previous video, her lips twitched involuntarily. Could this man be her obsessive fan?

In the next moment, the man switched off the Al screen. “My Child Is The Best? An interesting name.”

Liao Ning offered a noncommittal nod, but she spoke first, intending to ascertain the other party’s intentions.

Li Xian rose from his seat and offered a slight bow to Crete. “You need not be anxious. This time, I have a favor to ask of you.”

However, Liao Ning pursed her lips and extended her hand, her eyes tinged with suspicion.

“Remove these restraints quickly. Who gave you permission to treat my esteemed guest in such a manner?

Li Xian’s voice brimmed with anger. Crete hastily removed Liao Ning’s handcuffs, and she took a seat on the sofa beside him.

Li Xian raised an eyebrow and regarded the woman before him in a new light. Even in such circumstances, she managed to maintain her composure. She was undeniably a formidable individual.

“You all can leave for now. Miss Liao and I need to have a private conversation.”

Upon hearing Li Xian’s words, Tina expressed her concern, saying, “Should I prepare some nutritional supplements or fruits?”

Her intention was not solely to provide food, but to ensure Liao Ning’s safety when she came back later.

Surprisingly, Li Xian asked in astonishment, “Tina, have you taken the antidote in the interstellar space?”

Observing Tina’s worried expression and furrowed brow, he realized that if the loyalty potion were still effective, she wouldn’t have displayed such emotions. Li Xian assumed she had acquired the antidote from the Interstellar Alliance.

“Miss Liao helped me,” Tina quickly explained, recounting what had transpired aboard the aircraft.

Before Li Xian could inquire further, Crete interjected, “Is this true? Is there still seafood porridge? Is my wife safe?”

He blurted out the questions in his haste, completely disregarding the leader who remained at the event location.

It was only when Li Xian cleared his throat that Crete awkwardly bowed and exited the office. However, before leaving, he gazed at Liao Ning with hope in his eyes.

Once the two of them had left, Li Xian took a seat across from Liao Ning and proceeded to explain the reason behind her abduction.

“You must be aware that Loya is also promoting ancient delicacies within the empire, correct?”

Liao Ning, unaware of his intentions, simply nodded without uttering a word. Noting her guarded demeanor, Li Xian smiled and shook his head. “I am not your enemy.”

“I’ve watched most of your previous live-stream content. Not only do I appreciate delicacies, but I also find your new discoveries intriguing,” Li Xian remarked.

“Are you suggesting that ancient delicacies can alleviate mental unrest?” Liao Ning inquired.

A sense of delight washed over Li Xian upon hearing her words. “Yes, and based on what Tina mentioned earlier, I suspect your ancient delicacies might also aid the merfolk in breaking free from the influence of the loyalty potion, am I correct?”

His eyes sparkled with excitement and a mix of indescribable emotions, which resonated with Liao Ning.

Liao Ning didn’t refute her findings. “They do have a certain effect, but I need to wait for my partner to provide me with the final data.”

Witnessing her willingness to share her discoveries instead of rejecting him, Li Xian spoke earnestly, “I invited you here because I aspire to help people escape the grasp of mental unrest. I hope you can lend a helping hand..”
