He was about to give an order.
My cell phone suddenly rang.
At this time, the ringing of the mobile phone is like a pause button, knocking on everyone's heart.
Shadow glanced at the caller ID and told the others, "Wait a minute."
Then he walked aside with a serious expression and answered the phone: "Hello, yes."
He didn't know what he heard, but he became furious. His expression changed, and he turned his head and his sharp eyes suddenly fell on the girl in the middle of the square. It seemed as if he wanted to eat someone.
But he seemed to be afraid of something, gritted his teeth, and tightened his cheek muscles: "Yes, I know."
He hung up the phone and walked back, saying to the dozens of people from the Hidden World Family, "Release them."
"?"
Everyone in the hidden family was stunned.
"Let him go?" Someone was so angry that he stepped forward to argue: "Master Shadow, if we let him go now, our face will be..."
Shadow slapped the man with his backhand, and the man staggered and almost fell to the ground: "The Queen's order, let him go!"
The remaining members of the hidden family looked at each other in a commotion, and no one dared to speak up.
Shadow walked up to the girl. He was quite tall and had a strong aura. He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl sternly: "Ms. Qiao, I really underestimated your courage."
Qiao Nian heard their conversation, so he knew very well that the other party had no intention of taking action.
She raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't know what was going on, she still responded indifferently: "Oh? You're flattering. Actually, I'm quite timid and can't stand being scared."
Shadow took a deep breath, the muscles on his cheeks trembling. He looked at her again and said with all his strength, "If you provoke the Hidden World Family like this, we can only fight to the death. Miss Qiao, this matter is not over yet!"
Qiao Nian put away the gun without moving her eyelashes. Her delicate and eye-catching face looked extremely annoying. She raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Are you done?"
"Can I go now?" She was extremely arrogant, and it didn't seem like she took Shadow's warning to heart. Shadow's eyelids twitched wildly, and he pursed his lips.
But thinking of what his assistant had told him about the situation with the queen over the phone, he was afraid to act rashly and had to make way: "Let her go!"
The other members of the hidden family were intimidated by his prestige and made way unwillingly.
A path was cleared that allowed only one person to pass.
Qiao Nian half-narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, she received a WeChat message from Ye Wangchuan.
Qiao Nian took out her phone, clicked on the new message that popped up, and scanned it. She saw the man's concise words: [I'm here, go with peace of mind.]
Just a few words.
Qiao Nian instantly understood what was going on.
She put her phone back, reached out to pull down the brim of her hat to cover her eyes, and walked past the people from the hidden family with an expressionless face.
She calculated in her mind how long it would take for her to turn 20. After all, it looked like she owed him a big favor today.
*
Across the street, the woman that Qiao Nian had met in the box before was somewhat surprised to see her evacuate from the square unscathed.
But she got out of the car immediately and opened the passenger door for the girl: "Ms. Qiao, get in the car."
Without saying anything, Qiao Nian got into the car quickly, fastened her seat belt, and turned her head to ask her, "Where's Lu Zhi?"
After this rescue operation, the woman had already developed a natural respect for her, and her attitude was much more respectful than the last time in the box: "Boss Lu has been sent to the Pharmacy Association. They should be here by now."
