After learning that her father had been safely abducted, Lia felt much more at ease.

Quinn, however, was deep in thought as he looked at his father-in-law's information.

"Honey, you said your father-in-law's name is Yuze Hu'er Luo? The system shows he's still unmarried, so there's no need to worry about anything else."

Lia slowly raised her head and looked at Quinn sitting at the desk in the study. A sigh of relief slowly spread across her handsome face.

"Our people hadn't noticed this problem before; the Green Wolf Family didn't know that my father-in-law was using a false identity."

Lia found it somewhat unbelievable; he had thought his father was rushing to marry a woman.

Indeed, he was so isolated from the world that he knew nothing about his father, nor did he know what kind of person his father was.

Thinking about this, Lia felt a little uneasy.

Lia's face gradually brightened and became more cloudy.

Quinn remembered the report and hesitated about how to take it out.

"Don't blame yourself. Whatever the reason, he may have his own reasons, but judging from your description, he is definitely not a selfish person. Perhaps hiding in the Qinglang Clan was the best choice for him."

The report received by Edge Star states that your father was once a star singer on one of the top ten planets, but later retired for several decades for some reason.

Lia was somewhat surprised and astonished, her face full of disbelief. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "Then my father certainly had enough to live off a woman. I don't know how my mother managed to win him over."

He stood by the window next to the desk, leaning against the corner of the window.

A gentle breeze stirred the pale white curtains inside; it was nighttime, and beautiful stars filled the sky outside.

Quinn turned his head and saw such a beautiful scene that he felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Perhaps it was my mother-in-law who saved my father-in-law, and then they spent so much time together that they developed feelings for each other."

Lia chuckled softly, "You think they're like me?"

Quinn slowly shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. My father-in-law is a white fox, and I've heard that his clan is driven by a desire to repay a debt of gratitude; perhaps they have no choice but to do so."

Lia: "... In that case, it's not impossible. From as far back as I can remember, although my mother was very strict with me, she was also very averse to trouble. If my father were someone everyone was vying for, I think my mother would definitely have avoided him like the plague."

Quinn nodded slowly. "I found records of my mother-in-law before she passed away. A former servant of the Emilia Family said that they had been on the run for more than 30 years before you were born."

There's one more thing, but it was just what the servant told you; you were too young to know at the time. Of course, we can't verify whether it's true or false, since it's just a verbal account."

Quinn took out a sent investigation report, which had various pale gold claw marks on it, probably a confession-like technique used to enhance its authenticity.

Lia took the folded paper that floated down from the air.

Quinn's gaze fell on Lia's face, where Lia's expression shifted from a furrowed brow to disbelief, and then to overwhelming guilt.

He knew this would happen.

He received this information just yesterday, from a travel satellite where his parents-in-law had once lived.

Lia opened the paper and found it filled with words that shattered his spirits.

The report mainly contains the following:

When he was two years old, his parents and he traveled incognito on a starship, but unfortunately encountered a group of space pirates.

At that time, Hu'er's Spiritual Power was 2S. In order to protect his wife and children, he almost repelled the people with the determination to die together.

After this battle, his Spirit Sea was severely damaged and shrunken. When he found a healer, he was only at level B.

Later, his mother passed away, but Hu'er was still targeted because of his beauty. He had his servants hide the cubs and fought off forces several levels stronger than him on his own.

Devastated by his wife's death and overwhelmed by multiple blows, Hu'er finally succumbed to the pressure and was kidnapped by the head of the Qinglang Clan.

Upon hearing the news, the servants scattered and fled, and Lia was also captured and taken to the wolf's den.

The story is so convoluted and fragmented that it is shocking.

Lia's heart clenched so hard she could hardly breathe, her eyes already red. "I can't remember anything before I joined the Green Wolf Family. It's like I've forgotten certain people and certain things out of thin air."

Quinn: "I'll have the doctor come and take a look at you tomorrow."

A doctor cannot heal himself, and Lia knew that her skills were not yet at the level to heal herself.

Lia couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.

He preferred his father to be a selfish fox, but the truth was far from it. It was as if a layer of dust had been covered up, but when people wiped it clean and learned the truth, it was extremely cruel.

Hu'er was once a shining star, attracting everyone's attention and possessing double S-level combat power. She should have had a happy life...

Quinn stepped forward and pulled the man into his arms. "Don't worry, once we bring your father over, you can clear up any misunderstandings you had before."

He gently patted Lia's back. "How about we go have a fight to vent our frustrations, or I can help you find out who bullied you?"

"Is it okay? It's been more than ten years," Lia's voice became hoarse, her body trembling, as if she was trying her best to control her emotions.

"Of course, have you forgotten what your husband does? My intelligence network is spread throughout the entire galaxy, and we should make the most of the high technology at our Academy of Sciences of Sciences, right?"

Lia: "Really?"

Quinn picked him up with one arm and carried him to the living room.

"Of course, you don't trust your husband? I'm the one who holds the empire by the back of the neck."

His interruption cheered Lia up considerably.

However, the next second, Lia said, "Can you train after I break through and level up? I've tried all the modes in the training room, they're really boring."

Quinn stopped and placed him on a chair in the restaurant.

After a moment's thought, he offered a solution to avoid being subjected to domestic violence every day, because he couldn't bear to see his wife get hurt. So, if they really fought, he figured he would be the one getting beaten up.

"The empire has a power ranking system, but I don't have time to play it, so I'm not ranked there. Want to play?"

Lia: "But there are so many things to do right now, and the plants too..."

"You're responsible for ripening those crops once; someone will collect the data, so you don't need to do it every day."

This time, Lia's eyes lit up, completely forgetting the immense fatherly love she received.

"Okay! But why are we at the restaurant now?"

"Honey, I'm hungry. Come with me for a midnight snack."

"Hmm, you've even learned this word."

"My wife taught me well."

The next day

The originally spacious family medical room felt cramped due to the large number of people and the tall ceiling.

Quinn "invited" a group of seven or eight doctors.

There are specialists in neurology, psychiatry, Spiritual Power, as well as several "memory awakening masters."

Lia looks like a monkey for people to watch, but in reality he's just a little hamster.

But to others, he was a giant rat. The orc doctors around him all knew that it was this rat who had defeated the heir of the Fala Family with ruthless methods.

So, the seemingly obedient, cute, and adorable little brat in front of them was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. The doctors' legs were still trembling a bit because there was also Princess Klein, the most arrogant and domineering princess in the entire empire, here!

At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief; the Great Demon King Quinn of the Empire was not home!

"What's wrong with you guys? Are you giving someone a checkup?"

"Ah, yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment."
