"You are so short-sighted!" Reynard gnashed his teeth and walked around the room in anger. "I only needed to sacrifice a few people to solve this matter. But you made me sacrifice the entire independent continent because of your cleverness. You are really... If the Queen didn't want to use you and didn't need Qiao Nian to do it, I would have dealt with you today!"
Ji Ziyin felt ashamed after hearing what he said.
Mainly because I was the one who was in the wrong, I could only let him scold me.
She waited until Reynard had finished scolding her, then pursed her lips and said, "Old Lei, it has already happened. I will personally apologize to you for my mistakes later. But what should we do now... If she catches that person, and that person bites me out, I will never be able to become the head of the Ji family again, and this will also ruin the Queen's plan."
"You also know that you will ruin the Queen's plan?" Reynard wanted to strangle her to death.
“…” Ji Ziyin remained silent even after being scolded, and her attitude was very submissive.
Leonard saw through her submissive surface and suppressed his anger. He said coldly, "Don't use the Queen to pressure me. I won't clean up your mess! If he bites you, you will be a useless chess piece. You know the consequences of being a useless chess piece, so you should think about how to solve it yourself!"
Ji Ziyin didn't expect him to have this attitude. Her heart started beating faster and she nervously wanted to ask him for something.
The sound of hanging up the phone was heard from the other end.
Leonard hung up the phone.
Ji Ziyin took away her phone and took a look.
Sure enough, the phone showed that it was hung up.
She pursed her lips, which turned pale, and her face turned even paler, and the panic and uneasiness in her heart spread infinitely...
She didn't dare to waste time, gritted her teeth, and dialed the number she didn't want to make: "Hello."

at the same time.
In an ancient castle manor in Continent M.
A man dressed in black walked quickly to the outside of a luxurious lounge and pushed open the gorgeous and heavy door in front of him.
What catches the eye is the large living room decorated in pure medieval style. The crystal chandelier on the six-meter-high ceiling is gorgeous and grand enough.
The light from outside shines in, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflects a fascinating and mysterious luster.
Shadow walked in without looking around, stood in front of the woman wearing a large spinning hat, crossed his arms, and said very respectfully: "Empress, I have something to report to you."
"You've come just in time." Nie Qingru seemed to be in a good mood today. When she saw him come in, she waved at him, "Come and help me take a look."
Shadow walked over quietly and saw several opened brocade boxes on the table. Inside the boxes were a complete set of valuable jewelries.
The jewelry in each square box is of great value, and many are heirloom jewels that cannot be found anywhere else.
Nie Qingru picked up a ruby necklace and examined it under the light. She tilted her head and asked him, "What do you think of this? Does it look good?"
Shadow had no experience with women's jewelry, so he took a quick look and bowed his head respectfully: "It looks good."
Nie Qingru raised the corners of her mouth, a rare smile on her face, put the ruby necklace back into the box and said, "Since you think it looks good, let's take this one."
Shadow stepped forward and silently closed the other boxes for her.
Nie Qingru put the brocade box containing the ruby necklace aside, and then returned to her usual cold and indifferent attitude. She asked him, "You just said you have something to talk to me about. What is it?"
