Zhong Yiliu's tone became serious over the phone: "Okay, I got it. I'll ask them to arrange it right away and fly over to talk to you."
"Thank you for your help." Qiao Nian stood there tall and straight, looking languid. He didn't say thank you, but his heart was filled with gratitude.
It was not the first day that Zhong Yilu knew her and he knew her character.
He said hurriedly, "I just happened to be going to the Independent Continent as well, so I'm not going to help you specifically. I won't say any more, I need to go prepare the medicine."
Qiao Nian would never believe his words of comfort. She kept this favor in her heart and said without much politeness: "I'll have someone pick you up when we get there."
"OK."
She could only hear Zhong Yilu's vague answers and his energetic voice asking someone to accompany him to the warehouse to count the medicines.
Qiao Nian hung up the phone first, slowly put down the phone, and looked up to see Ye Wangchuan looking in her direction. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her.
She pulled down the brim of her hat with her cold white hands and walked towards him again.
Qin Si realized she had come out belatedly and greeted her enthusiastically: "Hey, sister Qiao, why are you out alone? Brother-in-law, what about you?"
He was talking about Ji Nan.
Qiao Nian didn't know whether she didn't hear it clearly or didn't care. Anyway, she didn't refute his address. She put her hands in her pockets and said, "He's taking care of the patient in there."
Mo Dong was directing the Yaomen people to keep an eye on this area to clear out the spies of various forces. He happened to hear a mouthful of words and touched his earlobe. His fierce scarred face looked very ferocious, yet innocent. "Uh, Emperor Ji is sick? The rumors outside are true."
Qin Si had just arrived in Independent Continent and had not heard of the legend, so he asked him curiously, "What legend?"
"People outside are saying that Emperor Ji is seriously injured and in critical condition, and he won't live for more than a few days... That's why those people are making moves behind the scenes. Otherwise, with Emperor Ji's deterrent power, how could these people dare to be so arrogant and run to the door of the old house to set up spies."
"… "
Qin Si knew that Qiao Nian came back in a hurry because of Ji Lingfeng, so when he heard Mo Dong's words, he fell silent for a rare time. He didn't talk nonsense and rarely frowned.
"so serious?"
Mo Dong has always been straightforward: "It is quite serious! Anyway, they have been very unfriendly to the Ji family during this period. Several of their branches are fighting among themselves. The docks outside have also been taken away by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and others..."
Independence Island is a place where you make a living based on your own strength, so there are not so many requirements.
The Ji family has become visibly weaker after losing Ji Lingfeng. If other forces in the Independent Continent don't take this opportunity to divide up the territory, what are they waiting for
Mo Dong didn't think there was anything wrong with these people. The Independent Continent was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, but this involved people that Qiao Nian cared about.
He scratched his head and looked at the girl seriously with warm eyes: "Miss Qiao, if you need help, just say a word and I..."
"Don't worry about it for now." Qiao Nian rubbed his swollen eyebrows, feeling a pressure on his chest. He was very annoyed and didn't want to think about whether he should meddle in other people's business.
She declined Mo Dong's offer, got into the car, and said to Ye Wangchuan, "I want to go back and rest first."
"Sister Qiao, what's wrong..."
Qin Si didn't finish.
He exchanged glances with Bo Jingxing and saw worry in each other's eyes.
Qiao Nian rarely showed her emotions, but this time she was obviously in a bad mood, which showed that she had just had an unpleasant experience in the old house.
But Sister Qiao made this trip specifically for the Ji family, so how could it end up like this
