Qiao Nian didn't touch it casually.
Her eyes were mainly on the lower level.
There were only two things on the bottom layer, a one-inch-long porcelain bottle and a black agate box, and next to these two things there was an old photo.
Qiao Nianxian slowly picked up the photo.
This photo should be from decades ago.
Even if the photos are well preserved, the edges show signs of time, curling and yellowing, and the colors begin to fade when exposed to air.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and saw that the person in the photo was not Nie Qingru or Ji Qing, but a young man.
When the photo was taken, the man was probably just an adult. His age in his early 20s made him look youthful and full of vigor.
He smiled brightly at the camera, revealing a row of dazzling white teeth. You could feel the happiness of the person in the photo at that moment even through the photo.
…Who is this person
Qiao Nian held the photo in her hand, and for a moment she couldn't figure out the identity of the person in the photo that Nie Qingru had taken so much trouble to hide.
She took the photo first, then checked the time on her phone and saw that there were only four minutes left.
In such a short time, she had no time to think about anything else, nor did she have time to figure out whether the antidote was in a porcelain bottle or an agate box.
She only had two to take with her.
Porcelain bottles are smaller and easier to store.
Qiao Nian took the porcelain bottle first.
Then she reached out to take the agate box. The moment she picked up the box, she saw that there was a hidden buckle at the bottom of the box.
The secret button is pressed down by the box, and the mechanism will not be triggered as long as no one moves the box.
But once someone takes the box away without knowing it, the box will lose its weight and the hidden button will pop out immediately.
A light flashed in Qiao Nian's mind, and his body instinctively moved faster than he thought, and he immediately rolled backwards with the box in his arms, while at the same time, mechanical crossbows were fired from all directions.
Dark and cold arrows shot towards her from all directions on the wall. If Qiao Nian was a second slower, she would have been shot into a sieve and killed on the spot.
Although she was agile and ducked and rolled to avoid the arrow, she could not defend against this deadly mechanism.
A sharp arrow pierced his right arm. Qiao Nian's nerves tensed up. He endured the severe pain that instantly swept through his brain, covered his arm and stepped back...
She took just one step forward.
The entire safe sounded the alarm and red lights flashed inside the safe, at least three minutes earlier than she expected.
Qiao Nian covered his arm and raised his head, looking directly in the direction of the hidden surveillance camera in the safe, with no extra expression on his face.
It is almost certain that there is no problem with her chip, but the alarm system of the entire safe has been triggered the moment she moved the box!
Considering that Nie Qingru had strictly controlled the box, it was easy to guess that the alarm must have been connected to Nie Qingru's cell phone.
When the alarm sounded on her side, Nie Qingru had already received the news—
**
As it turned out, Qiao Nian was right.
Outside the charity dinner.
Miss Sibol had just escorted this distinguished guest to the intersection and was about to exchange a few final greetings.
She heard Nie Qingru's cell phone ringing. It was not an ordinary incoming call sound, but a sound similar to a radar alarm.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw the usually arrogant and dignified Queen suddenly change her expression, took out her mobile phone in a loss of composure, and stared at it intently. The look in her eyes and the aura she exuded were terrifying, as if someone had stepped on her bottom line.
