Shadow couldn't hide his emotion, but he didn't dare to show it. He suppressed his surging emotions and whispered, "It should be that Young Master Ye."
"Who?" Nie Qingru didn't wait for him to answer and asked, "Ye Wangchuan?"
She asked a question but used an affirmative tone.
She let out a sharp sneer, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were like a desolate ice field, with only the nature of a beast left. "He likes my granddaughter."
"… "
Shadow lowered his head and dared not speak.
Nie Qingru's face was as cold as frost: "Have you checked the safe? Is there something missing?"
Shadow was almost bent by guilt: "I went to check. There is a missing... missing antidote that you put in the safe. There is also..."
He couldn't continue.
Nie Qingru didn't let go and stared at him intently: "Anything else?"
Shadow knelt down with a thud, straight on the ground, and said dejectedly: "In addition, there are... photos and ashes."
Nie Qingru only heard a sharp sound in her head, and her nails dug into her palm, digging deep into her bones: "What did you say?"
Shadow understood what these two things meant and didn't dare to repeat them.
Nie Qingru had actually heard it clearly, but she just couldn't accept the result. She clenched her teeth tightly, her back teeth creaking as they touched each other, and she smiled in anger: "Very good. Very good! It's really Ji Wusun's child. I really regret not investigating Ji Qing because of my soft heart. If I had known earlier that she had a child wandering around, I wouldn't have left this bastard behind!"
If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze!
She finally softened her heart.
Nie Qingru pinched her palms and nearly fainted from anger. Fortunately, she was strong enough and used to being the only one in charge, so she would not lose her mind even when faced with setbacks.
"Immediately block all overseas flights and ports in Continent M. From now on, within 24 hours, I will not allow anyone to leave the country."
Shadow suddenly raised his head and said, "Queen, this is too harsh. The Privy Council...will not agree."
Nie Qingru looked extremely calm despite his rage, with all the stormy waves hidden beneath his calm surface. He said without hesitation: "I will get the Privy Council to agree!"
"You..." Shadow wanted to persuade him again.
Nie Qingru raised her hand to stop him, closed her eyes, opened them again, and said in a resolute voice: "I will never allow anyone to take him away."

In the boundless night, the black Buick blended into the flow of traffic, shook off the car chasing it from behind, and drove smoothly on the road.
Until they were sure they were safe.
Ji Lin's tense muscles relaxed, and he managed to force a smile to comfort the girl who was also sitting in the back row: "Miss Qiao, it's ok, everything is fine."
Qiao Nian raised her hand to take off the frameless glasses on her nose and held them in her hand. She looked up through the seat at the man driving the car: "When did you come?"
"My plane landed an hour ago. I asked Ji Lin to check your whereabouts and then rushed here." Ye Wangchuan drove with one hand, and put his other hand on the reverse steering wheel, revealing the black bracelet on his slender wrist. The extremely simple bracelet made his skin look extremely white and not feminine at all.
Just like the person he is, he is proud and noble, flawless and extremely reliable.
For a moment, Qiao Nian didn't want to ask him how he guessed that he was in danger.
Because she knew that Ye Wangchuan had not guessed, he just chose to run towards her at the first opportunity...
Ye Wangchuan, however, saw her fall silent through the rearview mirror and said in a gentle voice, "Why don't you ask me how I know you're in danger?"
