Nie Qixing's heart suddenly tightened and skipped a beat, but he remained calm and looked into her eyes: "I don't know."
"Queen, Master Qi's injury hasn't healed yet." Shadow tried his best to stop Nie Qingru in an almost pleading tone.
But how could Nie Qingru listen to him in her rage? She immediately shook off his hand and ordered, "Get out of the way!"
Shadow felt the anger dancing in her eyes, his nerves tense, and he had to slowly let go of her hand.
Nie Qingru was not so patient. The moment he stepped aside, she quickly walked to Nie Qixing in the wheelchair and said with a smile: "You don't know why I'm looking for you, but do you know what happened in the hotel where we stayed at the weapons exhibition?"
Nie Qixing's guess came true.
Faced with the shadow's silent shaking of his head.
He pretended not to see it and still insisted, "I don't know. What happened in the hotel?"
Nie Qingru narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through his heart, and she looked at him word by word and said, "Don't you know that Master Cheng was stabbed in public, and the murderer ran away on the spot?"
Nie Qixing's heart was beating like a drum. He held onto the wheelchair with his hands, and had an extremely surprised expression on his face. He reacted strongly, "What? Master Cheng was stabbed?"
He immediately sat back down, pursed his lips, and looked at Nie Qingru sincerely: "...I really don't know about this."
Shadow didn't dare to look at the reaction on Nie Qingru's face. He just looked at Nie Qixing with an anxious and...disappointed expression.
How could Master Qi be so confused!
Since the Queen called him over in a hurry, how could she not guess that it was him who did it!
Instead of quibbling like this, he might as well just admit it. Maybe the Queen won't be so angry and... disappointed.
But he is too smart for his own good and wants to play dumb in this situation.
Isn't this... obviously treating the Queen as a fool
Nie Qingru took a deep breath, and the cold air rushed into her lungs. Under the stimulation of extreme anger and disappointment, she began to feel dizzy and her old migraine flared up again, and it became difficult for her to breathe.
She simply sat back without even looking at the person in the wheelchair.
"Do you think it's important to admit it or not?"
"..." Nie Qixing just opened his mouth.
Nie Qingru snorted and laughed: "I have already cleaned up your mess. As long as she can't find any evidence, she probably won't do anything to you."
In fact, she herself didn't have much confidence when she said this.
Qiao Nian has always been carefree.
She had also seen how rebellious the other party could be when he got angry. Logically speaking, Qiao Nian would not make trouble if she couldn't find evidence.
But Nie Qingru also knew that Qiao Nian was not a person who would do things according to common sense.
What if she doesn't play by the rules this time...
Nie Qingru could only tell herself not to think the worst, straightened her shawl, and said calmly: "Fortunately, you are only targeting Master Cheng."
"Master Cheng is not even her teacher, so he is naturally not as good as Jiang Weishang, whom you targeted last time... It's just that the trouble you caused this time was too big. It would be fine if Master Cheng didn't die. If he is dead... Even if she doesn't pursue this matter, I'm afraid the Ninth Institute will pursue it."
Qiao Nian alone is difficult enough to deal with, and Nie Qixing is also going to provoke Ye Wangchuan.
Nie Qingru didn't know what to say to him.
Shadow helped Nie Qixing change the subject and said in a deep voice, "But Queen, apart from sending Master Cheng to the hospital for emergency treatment, there was no response from Jing City. This is totally unreasonable!"
The main reason is that it doesn’t fit Qiao Nian’s personality.
