Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Seeing that Bo'an was so determined, Fitz had no choice but to obey the order. Soon, a new order was delivered to all the soldiers of the Second Army. That day, the north gate of Cali was completely closed, and no one was allowed to leave. All merchants who wanted to enter the city through the north gate had to take a detour. That evening, many soldiers drove the people away from the streets and informed them of the curfew.

The people naturally had a lot of complaints. Cali had never implemented a curfew in all these years, and many foreign merchants who were preparing to return home were also very dissatisfied. However, after being threatened by the soldiers, they had no choice but to accept it.

Bo An toured the North Gate and the streets that day and was very satisfied with the discipline of the Second Army. In a good mood, as was his usual practice, he went to Fitzgerald's house for dinner that evening. This was also a common tactic he used to win over the commanders of the various army corps.

A delicious meal was prepared at Fitch's house, with his wife and daughter Carol dining with them. When Boan saw Carol, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Carol is back? Where have you been all this time?"

Knowing that Carol's matter was closely related to Su Yang and the recent events in the capital, Fei Qi answered on Carol's behalf: "Carol is just too playful. She went out to train on her own without telling her family or asking for leave from the army. Commander-in-Chief, I will punish her according to military regulations tomorrow!"

When Carol heard what her father said, she knew his intention and stuck out her tongue at him in agreement. When Fitch saw this, he pretended to be furious: "What kind of behavior is this!" He then pretended to get up and hit her, but was stopped by Bo An.

Bo'an laughed and said, "Alright, alright, Carol is still young after all, it's normal for her to be playful. I didn't agree with you letting her join the army before. What's the point of a girl going through all that hardship in the army? You don't need to be too harsh on her. As long as she comes back safe and sound, that's all that matters, right, Carol?"

"The Commander-in-Chief understands me best, thank you, Commander-in-Chief~" Carol said sweetly to Bo'an after hearing this, which made Bo'an happy again.

After a hearty meal, Bo An suggested staying overnight at Fei Qi's house. Fei Qi immediately ordered his servants to prepare a room on the second floor, but Bo An waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just sleep in the room on the third floor that I've always slept in. There's no need to prepare anything else."

Fitzgerald dared not disobey, so he had the servants tidy up the rooms on the third floor. That night, Bo'an stayed on the third floor, and the back of the room where he slept was the storage room.

That evening, after Bo An had fallen asleep, Carol quietly opened the storeroom, set up the ladder, climbed up, gently tapped the wooden plank at the attic entrance, and brought the food up, instructing, "Bo An Xiu's father sleeps next door, so please don't make a sound tonight." Su Yang and Lin Anlan nodded in understanding, and Carol then closed the wooden plank, put away the ladder, and left the storeroom to go downstairs.

The two had been hungry for a long time, so they ate very carefully. But the more careful they were, the more likely they were to make a mistake. After Su Yang finished eating, he accidentally dropped his knife and fork on the wooden planks of the attic. The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet night, startling Su Yang so much that he didn't dare to breathe. He listened nervously to the sounds around him, afraid that Bo An would hear him.

After a long while, seeing no sign of anything amiss, she continued tidying up the tableware, carefully placing it aside. She got up to walk to the makeshift bed, but accidentally lifted the chair, causing it to move and make a scraping sound against the wooden planks. It looked like it was about to fall over, but fortunately, Lin Anlan reacted quickly, grabbing the chair and carefully straightening it.

Su Yang's heart was pounding, but thankfully nothing went wrong. The two of them then lay down on the bed in peace, but they couldn't fall asleep for a long time, afraid that they would make some noise after falling asleep.

The next morning, Fei Qi saw Bo An sitting at the dining table in the restaurant and went up to greet him, saying, "Commander-in-Chief, did you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm, it's alright, but you'll need to get the mice out of your house. They were moving around on the floorboards last night. Do you have an attic?"

Bo'an's question startled Fei Qi. Was this another trap? After a moment's thought, he replied, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief. The entrance to the attic is in the storeroom. Things that can't fit in the storeroom are usually stored in the attic."

"Then you'll have to clean out the attic. I guess nobody goes up there much, which is why rats have made their nest there."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will arrange for someone to clean it up today." Only then did Fei Qi feel relieved.

After finishing breakfast, Bo An left. His adjutant picked him up and took him to headquarters. On the way, Bo An said to his adjutant, "Arrange for a few people to keep a close watch on the Fei Qi family today."

He naturally knew what his son had done and had heard a little about Carol's affairs. Last night, Fech lied to him, which meant that there must be some hidden reason behind Carol's return that he didn't know. Normally, Fech would never let it go so easily. This alone made Bo An suspicious, which is why he arranged for people to monitor Fech's family.

At the Duke Litt's mansion in the royal city, Lena was having breakfast with Duke Litt. Halfway through the meal, Litt, seeing Lena's gloomy expression, comforted her, "Alright, my dear daughter, you can only know a person's face, not their heart. There's no need to be angry over that Su Yang. He's already wanted by His Majesty and the military. If you still think that's not enough, I'll issue another reward. Have someone capture him and bring him back to you for your disposal, how about that?"

“Father, I’m not angry. I just don’t think Su Yang would kidnap me. He has no reason to kidnap me. We have no conflict. Why would he kidnap me?” Lena voiced her doubts.

"Then why did Bo'an find you at his farm?" Litt countered.

“That’s what I don’t understand the most. His farm is so small, with only one cellar that can barely hide a person. Moreover, it was Bo’an Xiu who offered to take me to Su Yang to apologize. On the way, we were attacked by high-level elementals. So, I was unconscious and kidnapped. Why did those people let Bo’an go?”

After hearing this, Leeteuk's expression gradually became serious. Lena had been locking herself in her room for the past few days and refused to talk to him. He only found out what had happened today. Having experienced various political struggles, Leeteuk immediately sensed the hidden trickery, but he remained silent and only comforted Lena with a few words to brush it off.

Upon arriving at the Ministry of the Interior, Litt had been mentally processing all the events and clues. He had previously uncovered some leads on Colin's smuggling activities and also discovered some dirty dealings involving Boan, Sigrid, and Alban. However, he hadn't completely exposed them yet, as His Majesty's attitude was still unclear. If he considered Lena's kidnapping, especially since she was with Boan before the kidnapping, and Alban's accusation that Su Yang was a spy, Su Yang might indeed have been framed. But why would those people frame Su Yang? What would they gain from it? Litt couldn't understand this at all.

"It seems I'll have to find some time to ask Lena what exactly happened between her, Bo'an, and Su Yang."
