Chapter 348 Heirs

On the outskirts in M Country, an elegant woman was sitting inside a black limousine with a glass of wine in her hand.

"Is it done?" She asked the bald man in front of her.

"Yes, Your Highness. The arrest will be made in an hour. We are going to present all the evidence and detain her for attempted murder." He answered.

"Very good, Chief… I did not expect that you would act this fast." She smiled. "Now, all you need to do is to prepare for Miss Jiang's arrival. The moment she takes a step out of the airport, arrest her. Make sure that the drug charges are non-bailable."

"Your Highness, are you sure about this? Miss Jiang Yue is a celebrity in the Tech Industry. We have to be careful…"

"Do you want to keep your job?" She gave him a chilling smile.

"I... I understand Your Highness." The bald man lowered his head before eyeing the young man, sitting next to the Queen. Sitting next to Her Highness was the current Crown Prince-the first son of the King, His Highness Carlisle of the Brauns. He couldn't help but wonder if the Crown Prince approved of his mother's illogical actions.

"Good. Now… go. I don't want to see you until you finish this task." The Queen waved her hands, it was a clear sign that she wanted the bald man out of her sight.

The bald man just nodded before he bowed in front of the Queen and the Prince. Then, he immediately went out of the car. Never in his life, he expected that he would become a part of the Royal Family's schemes. Now… he could only follow their bidding until they were satisfied with his results.

...

While this was happening, no one was aware that the person, who they were plotting against, was already walking on the streets of M Country's capital -Dongsu City.

When the couple arrived at M Country, they directly went to some tourist spots and even set up a tour to make their cover more solid. And they succeeded. No one knew that Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were already enjoying themselves inside the country.

"Is this hotel safe?" She asked after Fu Jin closed the door of their hotel room.

"Yes, we have access to CCTV's and a total control of everything in this building. An escape route is also prepared in case some people try and attack us," he answered as he peeped into the thick curtains that covered the floor to ceiling window of their room.

"Good." Jiang Yue said while setting up her equipment on the desk, next to their king size bed. Her purpose in getting a hotel room, instead of a secure safe house, was to avoid suspicions. After all, everybody would think that after arriving in the city, she would directly go to the Fu Family's safe house. No one would even guess that she would act like a tourist and occupy a room in a really popular hotel in the middle of the City.

Moreover, the more people present, the harder it would be for someone to cause chaos for her without any witnesses.

"Are you going to call Gideon?" Fu Jin asked.

"Yes, once I have everything prepared. I want to ask him about my father," she answered. "And I want to know more about my mother."

"I understand," he said before giving her a folder. "Everything that we could find out about each member of the Royal Family is here, including Gideon's two sons."

Fu Jin watched, as Jiang Yue opened the files and narrowed her eyes. Then, her eyes widened in surprise before her lips curled into a beautiful smirk. "So… It is rumored that the two Princes are not his sons?"

"Interesting..." she mused before raising an eyebrow. "Oh? The Queen had an affair before she got pregnant?"

"Yes… It is also rumored that the King never slept with his Queen."

"If this is the case, then… the King does not have a legitimate heir?" She thought out loud. "Is this the reason he wanted me to come here? And why is the Queen feeling threatened with my presence?"

"But Gideon clearly said that you are not his daughter." Fu Jin said. "Anyway, the fact that the Li Family does not have any outstanding people in our generation makes me think that the King wants to use you as his representative for the throne."

"If his words about the fighting being manipulated are true and the more powerful family always wins the throne, then there is a possibility that he wants you to snatch the throne away from the Queen's sons." He added. "For now, this is the only plausible reason that I can think of unless…."

"Unless they are still hiding someone more outstanding than anyone else and want to use your influence and knowledge to help this person get the throne."

Jiang Yue furrowed her brows at Fu Jin's words. "If all of your assumptions are right, then… Gideon's words about him being sick should be true, right?"

He nodded. "The only way for heirs to fight for the throne is if the King is dying or is already dead."
