I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

As for Crown Prince Si Mingyu, in Qi Yan's heart, he is definitely the most hated person in the whole article.

This person is cruel, vindictive, hypocritical and vicious. Not only does he oppose Huo Linyuan everywhere in the text, but he also repeatedly plots and frames him.

If it was he who planned the attack, Qi Yanxin, but what was the purpose?

The problem seems to have returned to the starting point, and now the crux of the matter is whether the attack was an isolated incident or a conspiracy.

Qi Yan felt like she was trapped in a vicious circle and became somewhat blinded.

As reality deviated more and more from the original text, he habitually and subconsciously considered everything in the direction of conspiracy theory.

But he ignored the nature of the matter itself.

Could it be that I was overthinking things? Qi Yan fell into deep self-doubt.

"Lin Ke and Si Mingyu can be ruled out first."

"Why?" Qi Yan asked subconsciously, but he realized something was wrong after he said it.

Looking up, Huo Linyuan was lying on his side, supporting his head with one hand, looking at him.

"I couldn't sleep and woke you up?" Qi Yan said apologetically.

Huo Linyuan sat up against the head of the bed. He wrapped Qi Yan in the quilt and held the quilt in his arms.

Qi Yan was circled with only a small part of the eggshell exposed. Huo Linyuan's fingertips gently rubbed it in circles, just like he did every time Qi Yan felt uncomfortable.

Then he took the electronic panel from the small tentacle. Qi Yan watched him write and draw on it, and soon a relationship diagram appeared.

Qi Yan looked at this relationship diagram, and something seemed to flash through his mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it.

Then he heard Huo Linyuan's voice, neither hurried nor slow, like the most beautiful lullaby:

"Lin Ping and Lin Ke were the former commander of the 12th Army and the former fleet commander, respectively. After Lin Ping's death, Lin Ke took over his brother's position."

These books all have introductions. Qi Yan doesn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this, but it is certain that Huo Linyuan would not mention unimportant things for no reason.

So Qi Yan did not rush to ask questions, but patiently listened to him continue.

"Lin Ping once saved Lin Ke's life, so Lin Ke respects him very much as his elder brother."

Suddenly, Huo Linyuan changed the subject and looked down at Qi Yan: "Yan Yan, do you still remember what you told me about Lin Ke being assassinated by his own nephew?"

Qi Yan shook his head, but fearing that he hadn't expressed himself clearly, he continued, "I remember, but what is the connection between these two things?"

This incident was only mentioned briefly in the article. If it wasn't related to Lin Ke, Qi Yan might not have remembered it.

"Does the name Lin Che sound familiar to you?"

"That man in black?" Qi Yan was naturally familiar with him, but at this moment, Huo Linyuan pointed it out and he suddenly realized, "Lin Che is Lin Ping's son?"

"Ah."

In fact, Huo Linyuan was not like Qi Yan. He did not recognize the man as the champion of the Mecha League, Lin Che, at the beginning. He just saw the other person's face at that time.

Huo Linyuan still had some impression of that face.

At Lin Ping's memorial service before, Huo Linyuan had seen Lin Che carrying the coffin, but compared to that time, his face now was obviously much more mature.

"That's why you asked Wen Yi to investigate the orphan matter, but what does this have to do with the attack?"

"And why are you sure that this incident was not a conspiracy designed by Si Mingyu?" Qi Yan became more and more confused as he listened, and his head seemed to be filled with paste.

Huo Linyuan's fingertips gently circled the small area at the top of the eggshell:

"Si Mingyu has always been conceited and cares too much about the outside world's evaluation. It is impossible for him to cause trouble on the eve of the opening ceremony hosted by him and take away his limelight."

"But given his character, he might make a big fuss out of this incident."

"What about Lin Ke?" Qi Yan asked.

"No matter what the outcome of this attack is, it will ultimately affect the public's impression of Motia's public security, which directly affects Lord Sascot and the Twelve Armies."

If today's incident was just a single terrorist attack, then the only target of our condemnation would be the attacker.

But if what happened today is just the beginning, then after the initial panic is over, people will gradually turn their attention to the Joint Defense Department and the 12th Army.

"Are you saying that the person who planned this attack ultimately targeted Sascot or Lin Ke?" Qi Yan concluded.

"At least for now, this possibility is the highest," Huo Linyuan said.

Then he told Qi Yan the latest investigation results: "Ling Qing reported the situation of the injured. So far, no one has died from the explosion, and most of the injured at the scene have minor injuries."

"How could it be?" Qi Yan was a little surprised. The scene was obviously so tragic, and with such a large-scale explosion, how could the people present only have minor injuries?

Qi Yan still remembers the scene in the video vividly.

"The explosion initially occurred in the center of the stage. Since there was no show on the stage at the time, the frightened people began to take emergency shelter after the explosion."

"And the series of explosions that occurred at the edge of the stage, closer to the crowd, actually had a short time delay from the first explosion."

"If the attackers had not deliberately reserved time for escape, there would have been no need to detonate the bomb twice."

The attacker's purpose is not to attack a specific person or thing, but to create panic through the attack, or to issue a warning to someone.

"Is the man in black, Lin Che, related to this incident?" After Huo Linyuan's analysis, Qi Yan roughly understood the hidden relationship behind it, but he still couldn't figure out what role Lin Che played in it.

Huo Linyuan did not answer directly, but asked: "Yanyan, have you ever thought about this? Lin Che and Lin Ke are blood relatives. Why did he want to assassinate his own uncle?"

Why? Qi Yan didn't know, this reason was not even mentioned in the book.

Seeing Qi Yan's confusion, Huo Linyuan changed the question: "Do you remember how outsiders call Zoe? He is a rare person whose mental strength and affinity have both reached A level."

"I know. It's because of the biological experiments of an illegal organization. They want to use drugs to forcibly enhance people's mental strength." Qi Yan answered quickly.

Zoe was a victim of this experiment, but the organization was captured after Zoe was rescued.

"Yes, Lin Che's mental power is very similar to Zoe's."

All those who participated in the experiment had long been executed, but the experimental subjects reappeared many years later, which cannot be explained by simple coincidence.

"Could it be that Lin Che's situation is also related to the experiment, and his uncle is the culprit that caused his misfortune, and he wants to take revenge on Lin Ke by designing a terrorist attack?"

Qi Yan made an assumption, but then he felt it was a bit far-fetched.

Huo Linyuan shook his head. He couldn't answer this question yet.

Although it is not possible to prove that there is any necessary connection between the two incidents, it is certain that this attack is definitely not an isolated incident.

If Lin Che planned the attack to avenge his uncle, then who was the person behind him?

Why did the research organization that had been executed reappear?

Behind all these mysteries, there may be something more dangerous.

But Huo Linyuan didn't intend to tell Qi Yan these.

"Yanyan, the relationship behind this incident may be very complicated, but it is not as you worry about. At least the target is not me." Huo Linyuan touched the eggshell. This was what he really wanted to tell Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was stunned, and finally realized Huo Linyuan's intention.

Did I make him worry again?

Qi Yan was a little discouraged after realizing this: "I know."

Huo Linyuan seemed to sigh helplessly: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

"It's much better."

Perhaps the heavy stone in her heart was finally put down, or perhaps Huo Linyuan's touch really dispelled the discomfort in her body. In any case, Qi Yan soon felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Huo Linyuan helped him adjust to a comfortable position and said softly, "Yanyan, good night."

Then he opened the folder named Dandan and stayed awake all night.
