In addition, Yu Qingliu also made a special phone call to the Yu family's spies in Country M, asking them whether they had found any trace of Qiao Nian and his group.
"Mr. Yu, we have investigated the entry and exit records according to your instructions, but there was no Oriental person with the surname Qiao on that day." The words of the Yu family's spy made Yu Qingliu disappointed again.
He held the phone tightly, firmly believing that Qiao Nian and his group must have arrived in Country M: "Expand the scope and check the entry and exit registration forms again. Don't worry about the names, but check all the Oriental faces who have come from the Independent Continent!"
"Yes, Mr. Yu." The Yu family's spy did as he instructed.
Yu Qingliu slowly put down his phone, stood there for a while, hesitated for a moment, and made a call.
The call is connected.
He changed his previous aggressive and impatient tone, like a tamed dog, lowering his voice and speaking very respectfully: "Master Shadow, I am Yu Qingliu. Is Her Majesty the Queen feeling better?"
I don't know what the person on the other end said.
Yu Qingliu lowered his head as if he was reprimanded, and said more carefully: "It's like this, I went to the Independent Continent this time and found a genius in weapons manufacturing. She has made several new weapons projects, and I want to bring her to report the progress to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Wait a moment."
Yu Qingliu heard the cold voice and didn't dare to say a word: "Okay."
There was a rustling sound from the other end of the line. Yu Qingliu's heart nearly rose to his throat and was beating like a drum. Even though he was on the phone, he didn't dare to show the slightest impudent expression. He kept his back hunched like the most loyal servant.
Finally, he heard a cough, followed by an old, hoarse, emotionless voice: "Who are you talking about?"
The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and it was intimidating without even being angry.
Yu Qingliu's heart was greatly shaken, and he whispered in even greater panic, "It's a branch of the Ji family... her name is Ji Ziyin."
“…” The person on the other end didn’t speak.
Yu Qingliu's heart was so tense that it almost dared not beat. He suppressed his fear and said carefully: "This person is very talented in weapon manufacturing. In the Independent Continent, he is also known as the genius of the Ji family once in a century."
"I specifically tested her, and she is indeed as talented as those people in the Independent State said. The First Research Institute hasn't produced weapons for a long time, and I think she is very suitable to make up for our shortcomings in this area..."
Yu Qingliu spoke very cautiously, going over every word in his mind over and over again, for fear of saying something wrong and making the old ancestor unhappy.
He went over what he was going to say in his mind, and then asked carefully, "Do you have time to see her?"
After Yu Qingliu said this, the veins on the back of his hands bulged with nervousness, and he looked extremely nervous and scared.
Fortunately, the person on the other end of the phone just smiled in an ambiguous tone: "Someone from the Ji family?"
Yu Qingliu immediately walked around hesitantly and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll send her back right away."
He just finished speaking.
The person on the other end said coldly, "No need. Find some time to bring her over. I also want to see... the once-in-a-century genius of the Ji family!"
Yu Qingliu couldn't tell whether her words were an agreement or sarcasm, and before he could say anything, the other end had hung up the phone.
Yu Qingliu put the phone away, and the clothes on his back were already wet with sweat.
He looked up in the direction of the guest room on the second floor, exhaled a long breath, squinted his eyes, and whispered: "I hope you won't let me down..."
