The Hidden Family is originally a huge interest group composed of hundreds of families. Nie Qingru can lead the entire Hidden Family, or she can use the Smith Bank under her control to hold the Hidden Family hostage to her advantage... But everything has its limits, and she cannot cross the bottom line.
The call from the Privy Council tonight was to tell her where her bottom line was.
Nie Qingru has come to this point where no one dared to threaten her, but at this moment, as she faced the cold wind at the dock, she felt threatened for the first time.
"You want me to let her go?"
Mr. Xue was very calm: "We can't offend Mr. Cage. This is not in our interest."
Nie Qingru clenched her palms, looking at the figure on the deck getting farther and farther away, about to escape her control, and suddenly sneered: "I didn't expect that I would hear the same words 20 years later! Time flies so fast, and the only thing that hasn't changed is that I'm not strong enough."
"You are the Queen of the Hidden Family..."
"Humph!" Nie Qingru sneered and did not comment, but had to bow his head under the threat: "I will remember today's coercion."
She meant to let go...
Elder Xue seemed relieved: "The Queen is wise."
Nie Qingru was so excited by the word "wise" that veins bulged on his forehead. He suddenly lost his composure and threw his phone to the ground, then suddenly turned around to look at the ferry that was moving away.
The people on the deck seemed to have clairvoyance and knew what was happening here. They raised the corners of their mouths as if they knew something and waved at them.
—Arrogance in capital letters!
Nie Qingru's eardrums buzzed as he wished. He turned away and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"
**
The ferry has left the port.
Qiao Nian was on the deck, watching the people at the dock leave without looking back. He curled the corners of his mouth, raised his eyelids nonchalantly, and put his hands down.
From the moment Ye Wangchuan brought her on board and she saw the K sign on the sail, she knew that Nie Qingru could not keep her tonight.
But she didn't expect Nie Qingru to give up so easily. It seems that no matter what it is, it is not as important as profit in her eyes. Even the ashes of the most important person are nothing more than this.
Qiao Nian suddenly lowered his eyelids and stopped looking at the pier, finding it quite boring.
If a person only has interests in his mind, he will be a monster driven by interests.
"what are you doing."
A man's lazy and casual voice came from behind.
Qiao Nian turned around and saw Ye Wangchuan coming over. She suddenly felt much better and leaned against the railing and said, "Nothing, just looking outside."
Ye Wangchuan looked past her and saw the dock. Nie Qingru had already taken his men away, and there was no trace of them at the dock.
Ye Wangchuan retracted his gaze and looked at the girl's arm again. He pursed his thin lips, suppressed the dark emotions in his eyes and said to her, "Come with me, the doctor is waiting for you inside. The wound on your arm needs to be treated to prevent infection."
"oh."
Qiao Nian kept her right hand hanging down the whole night. She was a person who never showed any emotion on her face. Even though the wound on her right arm was very deep and the muscles were torn, she did not show it at all. She acted as if nothing had happened the whole time. Except for not moving her right hand, no one could tell that she was injured.
Even though Ye Wangchuan knew her strong character, he still frowned and led the way without saying a word.
The ferry's team doctor was waiting for them in the cabin. When he saw the pretty face of the girl who came in, he was stunned.
“…So young?”
Ye Wangchuan walked over and dragged a chair, motioning for Qiao Nian to sit down, and then half-jokingly said to the team doctor: "I don't look old, do I?"
