The black-clad bodyguard looked at him solemnly, as if he didn't want to tell them. But after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't matter if he told them: "You mean Miss Qiao?"
When Jiang Zongnan heard the girl he called in as "Miss Qiao", he became more certain that the person who walked in was Qiao Nian, and his mood became more complicated: "Yeah."
"Ms. Qiao..." The bodyguard looked toward the corridor, his serious face showing respect, and said in a proud tone: "She is one of the founders of our JC!"
Jiang Zongnan felt as if he was hit on the head by a sledgehammer. He saw stars, his breathing stopped, and he was completely stunned.
He thought of what Jiang Yao’s friend, Xu Shao, said on the phone last time.
Mr. Xu said that the car that Xianrou and the others saw at the Mid-Levels Club belonged to Jian Jin, and that Qiao Nian might know Jian Jin.
Although he had some doubts in his heart at that time, he could not connect the two together because one was a student who came to Beijing to study after going around the city, and the other was a big boss in an illegal area.
It was not until today, when the facts were laid out before him, that Jiang Zongnan felt as if he were in another world and stood there in a daze.
He stood there for a full minute, and finally twisted his neck stiffly, turned his head away, and spoke to Jiang Yao with a confused look: "What do you think is the origin of Nian Nian?"
He has been in Beijing for decades and thinks he is knowledgeable and has seen many big scenes. But now he feels that he has only seen the tip of the iceberg of this circle!

Qiao Nian didn’t know that Jiang Zongnan and his son had met her outside. She took off her headphones after entering the suite and walked straight in.
Jian Jin poured her a glass of water and brought it to her.
Seeing her put down her schoolbag and sit on the sofa, he bent down to put the water in front of her and asked with a smile: "What do you want my jade set for? You don't wear it."
"Give it to someone." Qiao Nian stretched his legs, looking quite casual. He blinked and said, "Give it to an elder. It's her birthday."
Jane Jian is always well-informed.
She had only been back for a few days, but she had already sorted out the information of all the families, big and small, in Beijing.
When Qiao Nianyi said she wanted to give jadeite to an elder who was having a birthday, a person immediately came to her mind—the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Lan.
She uttered a "tsk", didn't ask any more questions, and turned to walk into the bedroom.
After a while, she had a square box in her hand. She walked out, handed the box to Qiao Nian, and said, "Here, here's what you wanted."
People say that gold is valuable in troubled times and jade is valuable in prosperous times. The jade set in her hand is very expensive. If it were put on the market, it would sell for at least nine figures.
This is still on the market.
In fact, the jadeite she treasured is so rare that it can be said that there is no market for it even if someone can afford it. In other words, there may not be a set of jadeite jewelry with such a rare color on the market.
Qiao Nian said he wanted it and asked for it.
What else could Jian Jin do except to let go of it with reluctance
Her dark eyes were pretty, but her facial features looked plain when put together. Jian Jin was still wearing a black vest and had a circle of tattoos on her arms. She looked like a social person. She leaned on the sofa and handed the things to Qiao Nian before saying nonchalantly, "The illegal area has been restless recently. Be careful. Someone is targeting you."
Qiao Nian took the box, opened it and took a look before closing the box. He turned his wrist and glanced at her with a look of surprise.
Jian Jin had known her for many years and immediately understood what she meant. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Don't look at me. I don't know who is targeting you. I just heard that someone wants to get you."
