Arknights is too real, right?

Solving this case was just self-deception, but even so, it was still necessary for Xia Feng.

His exoneration and commendation were all the wishes of Princess Weilin. Although the senior officials in the ministries were unwilling to disobey, they would not reveal their suspicious attitude.

So solving this case had two obvious benefits for him.

First, it can stabilize his position in the Yuan Council and silence those who despise and question him. After all, this is a case of the destruction of a nobleman that even the Supervisory Office cannot handle.

Secondly, it is also to eliminate future troubles for himself. In the final analysis, this case is his fault. Closing the case early will also eliminate worries and prevent the Supervisory Office from causing trouble for him in the future.

The wind and snow in the north have stopped, and the sky is gray.

An old-fashioned brown car was driving alone on the road, with only Xia Feng and Weina in the car.

This car was found by Wei Na to keep a low profile. The purpose of their trip was to investigate, not to arrest people directly. Of course, even if they arrested people, they would have to use a sneak attack.

This car has no in-car audio. Apart from the hum of the engine, the car is very quiet. Sitting in the car, you can even feel the "squeak" of the wheels crushing the snow.

Xia Feng held the steering wheel and stared at the endless stretch of road. Wei Na sat quietly next to him without saying a word.

It's a very special feeling.

When you are in the same room with someone without any communication, but still don't feel awkward, then this person is your true friend, or the closest person.

Along with the icy and snowy scenery, Xia Feng spoke softly.

"Vina, it seems like we haven't been alone together like this for a long time."

There was a hint of laziness in Vina's voice.

"yes."

"Cold?"

"Fortunately, I'm used to it."

While driving the car, Xia Feng exchanged his arms and took off his coat, throwing it to Wei Na next to him.

"Whether it's cold or not, it's always nice to be warmer."

Wei Na did not resist, perhaps in front of outsiders, she would never easily accept the care of others, because she is the king of advancement.

But the person who threw the coat to her at this moment was Xia Feng. Like a subconscious instinct, she chose to accept it.

Wei Na gently put her coat on her body.

"Thanks."

"and this."

A red scarf was also thrown on Vina's face.

Vina took off her scarf and protested angrily.

"Hey, you gave me everything. I'm not a child, really."

Xia Feng smiled softly.

"I think you'll feel warm in it."

Vina blinked her big eyes.

"What about you, aren't you cold?"

Xia Feng stared at the desolate road ahead.

"I will feel cold, but I am not afraid of the cold. Maybe I have to adapt to this cold."

Xia Feng felt that no matter how cold he was, as long as the people he cared about were warm, that was what he hoped for most, even if he fell into the glacier himself.

Vina wrapped the scarf well, buried half of her face in the scarf, and whispered.

"Xia Feng, there are actually things I should have told you earlier."

Xia Feng drove the car expressionlessly.

"It's not too late. As long as you want to say it, I will listen. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

Under the scarf, Wei Na's somewhat erratic voice came out.

"Veline, she is my half-sister."

"Is it."

This sentence did not surprise Xia Feng. This was something he had already guessed, but now it was Wei Na who said it herself.

Later, Vina explained something to him candidly.

Wei Na's life experience is not as tragic as Nanfeng's, but that's all relatively speaking.

Just as Xia Feng had expected, Wei Na was not the child of the king and the queen, but the king's illegitimate daughter. However, Wei Na's biological mother was not that cowardly.

Vina's mother is the sister of the empire's chief executive, Yaerlin. Because of her mother's strenuous struggle, Vina was not strangled and she gained the right to live.

However, she must be stripped of her status as a princess and turned into an ordinary person with no connection to the royal bloodline.

Vina, who was exiled from the palace, could only live alone in the slums, leading a poor life. However, no one knew that Vina had inherited the [leadership] from the blood of the previous king. This trait, on the day she came of age, Only then does it really show up.

Time passes year by year, Wei Na gradually grows up

Because of their encounter with Vina, the Glasgow Gang, which was just an ordinary street gang, quickly rose to prominence, absorbing members with unimaginable cohesiveness in a short period of time.

With the secret support of the chief executive of the empire, the Glasgow Gang's various businesses expanded infinitely, and in just a few years, they became the underground emperor of the north.

This situation was destined to not be hidden from the eyes of the empire's top officials. However, due to Yaerlin's identity, even the Supervisory Office chose to acquiesce.

Of course, Yaerlin's face is only one aspect. Officials who can take on important responsibilities in the empire are not fools. They know very well that even if Vina is deprived of her royal status, she is still the king's biological daughter.

This secret has become a tacit understanding among the empire's top brass.

After hearing the whole story, Xia Feng was still very calm.

"No wonder Chief Ya'erlin helped me like that. It turns out we are relatives."

If the relationship between the characters is sorted out clearly, then Yaerlin is Weina's biological uncle, a real and fake member of her mother's family. Her husband's family had harmed this niece so badly. As an uncle, he must be in pain now.

After saying these words, Wei Na also breathed a sigh of relief.

"This matter is not so much a secret as it is a knot that I have had for many years. But don't worry, I have long been relieved of this matter. I am not a princess, and I don't want to be a princess. I am just the leader of the Glasgow Gang."

Looking at the snow-covered wilderness outside the car window, Xia Feng said in a deep voice.

"Vina, if Verin inherits the throne, what will you choose?"

Vina's answer was straightforward.

"If Verin can make this country strong, I am willing to be a person who only lives at night. If she wishes, I can disappear."

Xia Feng looked ahead expressionlessly.

"What if Vereen's actions are contrary to your expectations of her."

Weina also cast her gaze out the car window. She tightened her scarf silently and did not answer.

Xia Feng knew that with the current undercurrent he felt, Victoria's change was destined.

If he had not come to this world, there would be a period of irreparable frustration and regret in Vina's future personal file.

Wei Na did not answer his question, but he already knew the answer.

This is her hometown, the place where the sun rises. Vina does not allow anyone to trample on this land, even if she is not the king.

Xia Feng believed that if Nanfeng was asked this question, that guy would definitely give the same answer.

inside the car.

There was a hint of worry in Weina's eyes, but also a sense of persistence. At this moment, Xia Feng felt that he needed to express his position.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Feng's eyes were firm.

"Vina, this is not my hometown. I came to this land only for one person."

"kindness?"

Xia Feng turned his head and looked at Wei Na seriously.

"If one day, even this country betrays you, then I will personally subvert this empire for you."

Hearing these overestimating words, Wei Na smiled.

In her eyes, Xia Feng was the only person in the world who could say such words.

But this smile is not ridicule, but comes from the heart and is touching.

At that time, Wei Na did not think that Xia Feng could subvert the empire for her.

But she seemed to have forgotten that once upon a time, she also did not think that Xia Feng could leave Mandel City alive and appear in front of her again.
