In the current situation, the assistance of the First Prince and others seemed unlikely for the Bell Family in obtaining evidence. The Sam Family appeared to be prepared, requiring the Bell Family to catch them off guard.

If all the evidence could be revealed during the live-stream, even the king would be unable to cover up for the Sam Family.

The Eldest Prince had also considered this situation. With the Sam Family now controlling the transportation route of Planet Empire, allowing them to continue dominating could have repercussions on the Empire itself.

“Alright, leave this to me. My men will meet you at the live-stream room,” assured the individual in charge.

The couple exchanged nods and departed.

Liao Ning felt an overwhelming nervousness. She was uncertain if the plan would succeed, considering its implications on the Bell Family’s lives and her own mission.

The Liao Family had already initiated their actions. Liao Ning needed to gather information about the Liao Family’s activities, enabling her to counter their moves effectively.

Heading to the kitchen to prepare some hawthorn juice, she returned to the room only to find Liao Nai missing.

After inquiring with the guards, she discovered that Liao Nai had been taken to attend a noble class. Liao Nai frequently joined classes with children of nobility, and it was during one of these sessions that he had learned about the memory chip. While Liao Ning didn’t think much of it at the time, she now focused on preparing for the upcoming live-stream in the evening.

To meet the Eldest Prince’s men promptly, Liao Ning arrived at the live-stream room early in the morning. As expected, there were two unfamiliar faces present.

Approaching her, one of the men carried a large pot of hawthorns. “Lady Liao, these are the hawthorns you requested. Please inspect them for any issues.”

Liao Nai avoided eye contact, meticulously selecting hawthorns one by one. The others present remained oblivious to the interaction between the two.

At that moment, the man spoke up, “I have been sent by the Elder Prince to assist you. I will implant the virus into the system, allowing you to temporarily share the documents with your Al. However, you’ll have a maximum of one minute, so prioritize the crucial content at the beginning.” “Understood,” Liao Ning replied succinctly.

The man hesitated before speaking, “Also, regarding the virus…”

“I’ve already implanted the virus beforehand. I don’t know you, so there’s no need to worry,” Liao Ning reassured him. Placing the selected hawthorns on the work table, she added, “You can take these down. I’ll handle the rest myself. ”

Surprised, the man nodded and departed with the remaining hawthorns.

Loya arrived a bit late that day. She had been occupied with numerous tasks and had reaped many benefits from her actions against the Bell Family. Her efforts had gained recognition from the people, and she had even engaged in extensive charity work. As a result, the Princess of Dawn had become highly popular among the empire’s citizens.

To showcase her elegance, she was still dressed up, donning a white dress that matched the hawthorn’s ancient delicacy as today’s ingredient. The skirt and bodice featured intricate red gem inlays, and her earrings were adorned with large red gems as well.

“Are you ready?” Loya picked up a hawthorn and pursed her lips. “Where did you find these peculiar recipes?

Liao Ning had an important task ahead and didn’t want to argue. She simply stood by Loya’s side, remaining silent.

Loya scoffed and initiated the live-stream.

“Welcome back, everyone! Today, I have prepared a simple yet delectable ancient dish for you – hawthorn cake.”

Liao Ning began explaining the procedure with a smile.

“First, you need to select the ripe red hawthorns and thoroughly wash them. Remove the cores and stems before choosing the best red hawthorns for enhanced flavor.

Next, fill a pot with water and add the processed hawthorn pulp. Allow it to simmer over low heat for approximately 20 minutes.”

As Liao Ning began cooking the hawthorns, the man who had met her swiftly proceeded to implant the virus into the Al system of the live broadcast room. Once he finished, he signaled to Liao Ning that the task was complete.

However, Liao Ning refrained from immediately connecting to her Al. She needed to ensure that all the crucial images were shared within the final minute.

She engaged the netizens in a discussion about the various effects of hawthorns, allowing the full duration of 20 minutes to pass.

“Time’s up after 20 minutes. Let’s let the hawthorns cool down for a moment, and then we can use a blender to puree them into a smooth consistency..”
