Chapter 359: Kidnapped

Mu Xi watched his back disappear outside the door, then looked away.

"Xi brother?" Song Lujing tried calling out.

Mu Xi ignored him, just lowered their eyes, swiped open their phone, and went straight to that hot search page still wildly fermenting, scrolling down one item after another.

【What? Princess Mingxi was kidnapped?】

【Holy shit, that's not Artist Name Yue Shu, the little princess Y Country conferred, right? How did something happen in M Guo?】

【Someone said it's an internal problem of the M Guo royal family……】

【Don't talk nonsense, the M Guo royal family gets along very well, there must be a grudge seeking revenge.】

【No matter who did it, moving a girl under sixteen is simply inhuman.】

【Hope the princess is safe and sound.】

【Release them!!!】

Mu Xi stared at those four characters for two seconds, put away the phone, and said, "Prepare a computer for me, I'll contact Gu Xingnan, and together with your people suppress the related public opinion."

"Okay, I'll have someone send it over right away." Ruo Ya didn't dare delay even a bit, turned and went to arrange.

Inside the side hall, a low-pressure silence fell for a moment, everyone was busy with their own tasks, the atmosphere tense.

Not long after, the side hall's door was pushed open from outside.

The one who entered was not a palace servant, but a trusted aide who had followed Qing Wei for ten years, usually well-trained, but now his steps carried an uncommon urgency.

"Your Highness." The aide stopped before Qing Wei, bowed slightly, voice kept extremely low, "There is something you need to know personally."

Qing Wei lifted his eyes, posture unchanged, "Speak."

The aide glanced at the people present, all trusted members of the royal family…… If this were said in front of them.

They might scold him in who knows what way.

He felt uneasy in his heart, and again lowered his voice: "Something happened with the police, that batch of kidnappers was seized by someone, the other side presented a highest-level mobilization order from the Z Country military."

Qing Wei, who had been leaning on the sofa, sat up slightly, eyebrows twitching, "What? Z Country military? When did this happen?"

On M Guo's territory, bypassing the M Guo royal family and police, directly seizing the person?

"Ten minutes ago." The aide's eyes held a hint of shock, "Not long after the police finished their handover, the person arrived at the station, presented Z Country military documents, and demanded the handover of those kidnappers."

"The police initially refused, but the other side…… the other side's documents were of too high a level, an internationally recognized mobilization order, and their attitude was firm."

"The other side's procedures were complete, their authority extremely high, plus someone above had greeted them, they had no right to stop, it seems our superiors had received information and specially went up to open the door for them."

"The police didn't even have time to file a report, the person was just taken away."

Qing Wei fell silent for a few seconds, "Who led the team?"

The aide weighed his words for half a minute, then spoke solemnly: "He didn't say, just two people came, wearing uniforms……"

He didn't finish his sentence, just raised his hand, making a gesture at the position of his shoulder insignia.

Qing Wei saw the gesture clearly, his pupils constricted slightly.

He nodded, indicating the aide should retreat.

The other people in the side hall were busy with their own affairs, too lazy to pay attention to the commotion here.

Qing An came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qing Wei didn't answer right away, just lifted his gaze to look out the window, his eyes deep.

Z Country military.

Qing Wei's understanding of that country's military strength is not small, after all it's a neighboring country, and also a friendly nation, one of M Guo's most important partners.

He knows the Z Country military has several special units, with extremely high authority, able to conduct cross-border law enforcement, not subject to any country's judicial jurisdiction.

But the numbers and personnel composition of those units are top secret.

Not to mention foreigners, even within Z Country, few know the details.

The gesture the aide just made is the secret codename of one of those units; the unit's name is a legend internationally.

Some say it doesn't exist at all, just a smoke screen Z Country uses to deter foreign enemies; others say it truly exists, but its members never reveal their identities, act mysteriously, and leave no trace.

Qing Wei had heard that name before, never imagining he would one day personally see its trace.

Nor did he imagine it would appear in the M Guo kidnapping case.

Qing An impatiently waved a hand in front of his eyes, "Hey?"

Qing Wei withdrew his gaze, "Those kidnappers were taken away."

As soon as he heard it was related to his sister, Qing An tensed his nerves, "Haven't they already been detained by the police?"

"Originally they were." Qing Wei spoke calmly, "Ten minutes ago, someone holding a Z Country military mobilization order took the person from the police's hands."

Qing An's face darkened, he forcibly suppressed the anger rising in his heart.

Z Country military?

He instinctively glanced at the other people in the side hall, confirming no one was paying attention here, then slapped the sofa, "On what basis do they take over? This is M Guo territory, not Z Country!"

Qing Wei: "Not clear, but whoever can mobilize that unit……"

He had the words on the tip of his tongue but stopped again.

Qing An's eyes tightened, "You mean, that legendary unit?"

Qing Wei glanced at him, neither nodding nor denying, just slightly lifting his chin.

Qing An closed his mouth, his eyes completely changed.

That unit, he had certainly heard of it.

The Z Country military's most mysterious existence, its members are said to be top talents selected one in ten thousand from various special forces, carrying out the most dangerous and secret missions.

Internationally, that unit's codename is synonymous with "Untouchable."

Those who can mobilize that unit, in the whole Z Country, can be counted on one hand.

And those who can let them conduct cross-border law enforcement, directly take the person from the M Guo police's hands……

Qing An flashed through several identities in his mind.

He snapped back to attention, his tone agitated: "Those kidnappers are military personnel?! How are we supposed to explain this to A-shen and them?"

They were already unsettled because of Mingxi's matter, and now this pops up—who can stand it?

Qing Wei paused for half a minute before standing up, his voice steady: "We can only tell the truth."

He gave a light cough, deliberately raising his volume a bit.

All eyes turned to him, and Qing Wei continued: "Just now we got word that after the police handover was completed, that batch of kidnappers was snatched away."

"What?" Song Yusui, who had been crouched in the corner, sprang to his feet, clearly not expecting anyone to dare snatch people from the M Guo royal family—"Who?"

"Military personnel."

"?"

Mu Xianqi turned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "M Guo military? Are the kidnappers' leaders your military people?"

"No." Qing Wei shook his head. "It's the Z Country military."

Mu Xianqi grasped the point: "Z Country?"

Everyone present froze in their actions.

Song Yusui put down his phone, brows furrowed: "How did domestic people get involved in this?"

"Not clear." Qing Wei answered truthfully: "Just two people came, showed Z Country military credentials, and said they wanted to take custody of the suspect."

Mu Xianqi's face darkened slightly, his tone laced with obvious dissatisfaction: "Two people? You police just let them in like that? If something happens in your country, fine, but now you can't even keep an eye on a person."

He wouldn't say anything to a whole squad, yet he can't stop just two people!

Song Yan had already figured out how to coax his sister back home.
