Ye Qingqing was taken aback. "Why would she suddenly return to the palace? I told her not to go back for the time being."
“The king is seriously ill, and Basha had to go back. She sent me a text message before she left,” Gongsun Lin said.
Ye Qingqing's heart sank. She had a feeling that Basha's return was likely to be fraught with danger. Julie had just returned to the palace when the king fell seriously ill and summoned Basha back. If there wasn't something fishy going on, she wouldn't be Ye.
"I'm heading to Country T now, hopefully I can still make it in time."
“I will also go there and meet you in the capital.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingqing hurriedly packed her luggage and explained the matter to Lu Mo, "I'm worried something might happen to Basha, so let's act ahead of time!"
Lu Mo nodded. "I'll go book the plane tickets."
He felt quite sorry for Basha. Of course, the most important thing was that Julie wanted to harm Ye Qingqing. This vicious woman had to be eliminated, otherwise there would be endless troubles. He could also help Basha along the way.
Ruan Yingzi wanted to go too, but Ye Qingqing coaxed her back to China and told her not to get involved. The Ruan family was not as wealthy and powerful as the Gongsun family. The King of T country did not dare to provoke the Gongsun family, but he dared to touch the Ruan family.
Ye Qingqing called Basha, but no one answered. She tried more than ten times, and finally the phone was turned off. She felt increasingly uneasy; Basha was probably being held captive, or perhaps even...
She and Lu Mo saw Gongsun Lin as soon as they got off the plane. She arrived first and even drove her own SUV instead of staying in a hotel. "I have a house here. You can stay at my place. It will be more convenient for you to handle things."
Neither Ye Qingqing nor Lu Mo had any objections. Gongsun Lin's house was by the sea. When they passed the newspaper office, Lu Mo asked her to stop the car and get out to buy a copy of the E Country Global Newspaper, which was all in English and she could understand it.
Lu Mo glanced at it, his expression turning serious. He said in a deep voice, "Princess Basha's fiancé has broken off the engagement. This was announced today."
Ye Qingqing was taken aback. She picked up the newspaper and saw Princess Basha's photo. It was the one of her wearing a crown at the ball. She looked exceptionally beautiful. However, the news was disheartening. The Datuk's son had issued a statement announcing the annulment of the engagement. His attitude was very firm, and the reason given was incompatibility in personality and values.
"What utter bullshit! What incompatible values? It must be that bitch Julie causing all this trouble! I'll kill her!" Gongsun Lin was so angry that she almost crashed her car, only managing to avoid it with a sudden stop.
"What did Julie do to make that man so determined to break off the engagement?" Ye Qingqing really couldn't understand.
The events of that night were kept tightly under wraps, and the Datuk's son couldn't possibly know. But if it wasn't for that reason, why would he want to dissolve the marriage? Basha was, after all, a princess, not the daughter of an ordinary family.
Lu Mo said in a deep voice, "Julie must have entered the surveillance footage beforehand and saved the recording. With her abilities, she could easily enter the footage in just a few minutes."
"Mrs. Cordillac has deleted the surveillance footage."
Lu Mo calmly analyzed, "There's a gap in between. There's a 15-minute gap between Julie going to the lounge to change clothes and Mrs. Dylan deleting the surveillance footage. Those 15 minutes are enough for her to do a lot of things."
“Aunt Xiang broke her computer. Even if she has the data on her hard drive, it’s not that easy to fix,” Ye Qingqing retorted.
"You can send emails, you just need to use a different computer."
Lu Mo's words struck Ye Qingqing like an electric shock, leaving her completely stunned. She angrily banged her head, wondering why she hadn't thought of emails and had only thought of saving it to the hard drive. How could she be so stupid?
"Don't blame yourself. Even without the video, Julie wouldn't have let Basha off the hook. She could have made up countless reasons because the king listens to her," Lu Mo comforted her.
And that's true. The King of T country has a lot of power. As long as Julie has such a powerful backer, she doesn't need a reason to mess with anyone. Basha's biggest mistake was that she obediently returned to the palace. This girl is too honest.
