M continent.
Nie Qingru has not yet cleaned up the mess after what happened a few days ago.
Because of her impulsive behavior.
In the past few days, not only the Privy Council has been looking for her frequently, but people from the aviation and shipping industries have also been looking for her, making Nie Qingru very annoyed.
It was only in the evening that she got rid of the Privy Council and went home. Once she got home, she dropped her large hat brim, revealing her sinister face, and asked the people who followed her in, "What's the latest news from the Independent Continent?"
Shadow said softly, "Ji Lingfeng has already had surgery. If nothing goes wrong, he should be out of danger. Elder Zhong is still looking after him in the hospital, and he has also transferred some special medicine developed by the Pharmacy Association..."
"Humph." Nie Qingru sat on the sofa and sneered, "He is lucky."
If that evil creature hadn't been willing to take the risk to get the antidote for him, the grass on Ji Lingfeng's grave would have grown three feet high!
Nie Qingru was upset when she thought of the things that were taken away from her: "Where is she?"
Shadow raised his head slightly: "Qiao Nian has not been active recently. She has been staying at the Yaomen base and has not gone out. Today, she went out to meet Simon. I don't know what they talked about. Not long after, she left the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. It seems that there was no quarrel. However, not long after she left, Simon convened an internal meeting of the core members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and resigned. This should be Qiao Nian's handiwork!"
Nie Qingru never concealed her disgust on her face: "It's normal that it was her doing. Aren't the direct descendants of the Ji family just like this? If anyone offends them, they will definitely kill that person."
Shadow remained silent.
Nie Qingru probably thought it was boring, so she bent down, picked up the wine bottle on the table, uncorked it, got herself a cup, poured herself a glass of tequila and held it in her hand: "Where's he? He hasn't come back yet."
Shadow had been with her for decades, and even though Nie Qingru said the word "she" (he) unclearly, he still understood who Nie Qingru was asking at the first moment.
"Don't worry, the young master is on his way back, taking the water route. He has the ability to do so, and it's not easy for Qiao Nian to detect his presence."
"Um."
Nie Qingru took a deep breath, without any emotion.
Yingzi was just hesitating whether to let her call him in person when she received a call.
Shadow knew the rules very well. He covered the receiver and said, "Queen, I'm going to answer the phone."
"Go ahead." Nie Qingru shook the wine glass in his hand expressionlessly, absent-mindedly.
Yingzi walked to the side and quickly picked up the call. He didn't know what was said on the other end. His expression became ugly and he hurried back in less than two minutes. He said to Nie Qingru, "Something happened."
Nie Qingru had just taken a sip of wine, and the strong liquor didn't feel good when it went down his throat. Then he heard Shadow's panicked voice, which made him even more uncomfortable.
She put down the glass and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Shadow gritted his teeth and said, "Qiao Nian has found out about the young master! According to the information received by our people on the high seas, she seems to want to leave someone behind on the high seas."
"What?!"
Even though Nie Qingru was calm enough, she stood up at this moment, clenching her teeth tightly, her face twisted with disbelief: "How could she find out about Xicheng? No, what on earth does she want to do! Taking the antidote from me is not enough, Qixing's death is not enough... What on earth does she want to do! Is she really going to kill her own grandmother for revenge against Ji Qing!"
Nie Qingru's chest heaved. The huge amount of anger injected into her caused her head to buzz, as if she had returned to decades ago.
