Ji Ziyin took a deep breath. She had expected that she would be treated coldly, so she prepared herself mentally.
She wisely did not mention what happened in the branch hall today, but instead asked, "Is Mr. Lei looking for a painting?"
Leonard picked up the wine glass again and looked at her sharply: "How do you know?"
"I just walked in and heard you talking on the phone." Ji Ziyin frankly admitted that she had eavesdropped: "I can help you find the painting."
Leonard glanced at her for a moment and sneered, "What are you planning now? Do you think I will fall in the same place twice?"
Ji Ziyin was very confident: "I have lived in the Independent Island for more than 20 years. I am very familiar with this place. My network of contacts is all here, so it is easier for me to find things than for you. If you want to find a painting, I can find a way to get it for you."
There was no doubt that Leonard was touched by her psychological touch.
The Independent Continent is not the territory of the hidden family.
He didn't bring many people with him, so they were inevitably restricted and unable to do anything.
Ji Zinyin has been living in Independent Island. If she helps find the painting, it should be much faster than if he searches for it alone.
Ji Ziyin saw that he was wavering, and immediately continued, "Consider this as my apology for my reckless behavior."
She smiled again and said dignifiedly, "Will Mr. Lei not even give me a chance to atone for my sins?"
Reynard looked her up and down, and thought that the Queen had not given up on her yet, and he could not settle accounts with her immediately, so he put down the cup: "I can give you a chance. If you help me find this painting, I will forgive your little trick in private this time! On the contrary, if you play tricks on me again..."
"Ha." He sneered: "Even if the Queen values you, I will let you know the consequences of playing tricks on me!"
Ji Ziyi's heart sank, but she forced herself to remain calm, standing tall in front of the hook-nosed old man and accepting his scrutiny.
Leonard was annoyed by the sight of her, so he looked away after only a few glances, and told her in detail the painting he was looking for.
Who knew that when Ji Ziyin heard what he said, her heart pounded, and she said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will definitely buy the painting back for you."
Leonard was easy to talk to, so he kindly revealed something to her: "I know why you came to see me. Since you are so straightforward, I will tell you straightforwardly."
"That Langke won't betray you."
"The Queen has already asked someone to warn him, and he will not dare to offend Her Majesty."
His eyes were cold and mocking: "So you don't have to rush to me in a hurry. The Queen has already solved it for you."
He really didn't understand why the Queen valued someone like Ji Zinyin.
Such people are too utilitarian, just like rats in a stinky ditch; if you give them a chance, they will climb up the pole.
But they are vicious, utilitarian, and ungrateful... Even if the Queen helps her, she will not get the proper reward in the future.
Even he could see this. Leonard didn't believe that the Queen couldn't see that Ji Zinyin was not worthy of their support at all!
But the Queen just wants to hold Ji Ziyin in her arms...
Although Leonard didn't understand, he didn't dare to interfere with that person's behavior.
He said, "You just need to understand that everything you have today is given to you by the Queen. Don't do anything that will disappoint the Queen, and you will be safe and sound, and no one can touch you. Including that Qiao Nian!"
