She wanted to infiltrate both the political scene as well as the military in order to control them.

For the political scene, she wanted to have people working for her across all the different departments. As for the military, she wanted to set up and own an ordnance factory.

She wanted to control Country A silently, helping Xie Limo and eradicating all dangers at the same time.

Since she couldn't handle losses, she would force herself to grow stronger. Even if the procedure for setting up the factory was hurried, she would also work harder to prepare for it.

Everything had been settled, and she was waiting for the new year.

Although Yun Bixue had become downcast with the mention of Xie Jiu, she tried to control her emotions so that Xie Limo wouldn't be able to tell.

The reason why Yun Bixue had said that she felt a.s.sured after meeting Xie Wu and Xie Liu, was because she knew that they were the most skilled.

If they could stay by Xie Limo's side, they could not only protect him well, but also be able to protect themselves well. They wouldn't allow themselves to perish so easily.

Even though they were men of sacrifice, she would still feel upset if they had truly sacrificed their lives for him.

Despite Yun Bixue's attempts at smiling warmly and containing her emotions, Xie Limo could still sense the changes in his wife's feelings. He placed a hand on her waist and wrapped the other around her. He kissed her lips and consoled her.

He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't

As they hugged and kissed, they could feel their love for each other.

Yun Bixue looked at how Xie Limo's body was glued to hers and gently pushed him away. She said, "Okay, let's eat. The food will turn cold."

"Alright, I can't let my wife's efforts go to waste."

Yun Bixue's cheeks flushed as she answered, "Let's eat!"

Xie Limo knew that his wife was easily embarra.s.sed. He kissed her lips again and replied warmly, "Okay."

Yun Bixue switched on the TV to watch the news. She wanted to watch the reports on yesterday's incident, but the news were all relatively simple.

"Around nine o'clock yesterday, two boats had collided into each other at the capital's harbor and resulted in an explosion. The explosion happened because of flammables on the boats. As the harbor had been crowded with people, there were many casualties. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. The detailed report is as follows… The fire department and police had rushed to the scene upon receiving the news to contain the situation and protect the citizens. The citizens were dispersed…"

From the start until the end, Yun Bixue didn't hear any information on the ammunition nor the a.s.sa.s.sins. There were a lot of actual events that were hidden and weren't reported.

As Yun Bixue watched, she blinked her eyes in disbelief. She changed the channels, but every one of them had merely made a simple report.

"Is the media afraid to speak the truth? Even Ning An City's media dare not make any speculations. Are the people from the imperial family so intimidating?"

Hearing the incredulous tone in Yun Bixue's words, Xie Limo cleared his throat and said, "The incident last night was huge. If everyone knew the actual reason, the entire Country A would be in a mess. The management might have suppressed the news."

Yun Bixue placed her chopsticks on the table and went to look for her phone. As she searched the web, she discovered that no one was talking about it too. However, someone had been whining furiously that their posts had been removed.

Many discussions on sensitive topics had also been stopped.

Yun Bixue flipped through the websites and sneered, "The capital truly had amazing power. They can even control the news and the media."
