Ji Xiao was horrified: "How could it be? The clan leader..."
"Oh, that man insisted that I told him to do it. The elders in the clan are all here, and the clan leader won't cover up for me." Ji Zinyin lowered her eyes with a fierce look in her pupils. She spoke slowly and lightly, but only she knew in her heart that Ji Lingfeng's attitude towards her had turned cold.
She was a little annoyed, and without waiting for Ji Xiao to ask further, she raised her eyes and looked: "Second Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ji Xiao originally wanted to ask her something, but Ji Ziyin's words led him astray, so he forgot what he wanted to ask and instead remembered the purpose of his visit: "Qiao Nian."
Ji Zinyin pulled her clothes together, supported herself, picked up the medicine on the table, and prepared to take one.
Suddenly I heard Ji Xiao mention a familiar name.
Ji Ziyi's pretty face froze and she immediately looked at him.
Ji Xiao did not keep the secret: "I met her when I was having dinner with Dr. Liao at the InterContinental Hotel. She was alone, with no one around her. It seemed that she was staying at the InterContinental Hotel."
"You must have seen it wrong." Ji Ziyin didn't quite believe that someone who was supposed to be in Beijing City could run to Independent Island in the blink of an eye.
Independence Island is not a tourist attraction, and it is not a place where anyone can come if they want to.
Ji Xiao was extremely confident: "I can see clearly that it is her! It is hard to mistake her once you have seen her. I came to find you because I saw her clearly."
“…” Ji Ziyin was speechless now.
Ji Xiao walked across from her and found a seat for himself. After he sat down, he looked at Ji Ziyin, very puzzled: "Ziyin, do you know why she came to Independence Island?"
Ji Ziyin was speechless for a moment.
How could she possibly know why Qiao Nian came to the Independent Continent? She hadn't even received any news about it before!
Ji Zinyin is a man of action.
She always does more than she says.
She called He Congming immediately. He Congming answered the phone, but it seemed that he didn't know Qiao Nian had come to Independent Island. He even asked her how could Qiao Nian, an outsider, go to Independent Island
Ji Ziyin couldn't get anything out of the question, so she had to hang up the phone.
She and Ji Xiao were staring at each other, and had not found any useful information yet.
At this time, Ji Ziyin's phone rang.
She saw that it was a call from the First Research Institute. She endured the pain in her back and walked to the side to answer the phone: "Hello?"
Ji Xiao only heard her calm "Hello" and then her tone changed.
"There's one more registration spot? Who? The Nan family?! How is that possible? They haven't participated in the First Research Institute's assessment for almost 20 years. How could it happen this time? Um... Dr. Liao, do you know who the other party is?" Ji Ziyin's face was grim, and after a long while, she said, "I know."
She returned after answering the phone.
Without waiting for Ji Xiao to ask her.
Ji Ziyin said solemnly, "Just now, the First Research Institute sent a message saying that the Nan family also signed up for the assessment this year, but no one has yet found out who they signed up for."
In recent years, the Nan family has become increasingly unwilling to get involved in the disputes in the Independent Continent, like an invisible person with no sense of existence.
But the Nan family is one of the three major families in the Independent Continent after all. After many years, the Nan family once again participated in the assessment of the First Research Institute... No matter who the Nan family nominates, this news is enough to make people fearful!
Ji Xiao was also extremely surprised: "Hasn't the Nan family always stayed out of these things?"
"Who knows what they are thinking this time." Ji Ziyin lowered her eyes, covering the dark color in her eyes: "Second Uncle, let's put Qiao Nian's matter aside for now. The assessment of the First Research Institute is more important."
