In the car.
Qiao Nian felt a pain in his temple and leaned against the car window, not wanting to talk.
Zhong Yilu was sitting in the passenger seat. He looked back at her and saw that she looked irritated, so he didn't talk to her. He was very considerate and gave her a relatively quiet environment to rest.
Gu San first sent Zhong Yilu back to the hospital.
After watching Zhong Yiliu disappear at the hospital entrance, he turned the car around and asked the girl in the back seat, "Miss Qiao, shall we go home?"
"Um."
Qiao Nian had adjusted her mood by now. She took out her phone from her pocket and played two games, winning both games as MVP. When she was about to start the third game, Guan Yan called.
Qiao Nian picked up the phone, opened the car window, and leaned his elbows outside the window, letting the night breeze slip through his fingers: "What's wrong?"
"You haven't finished your meal yet?" Guan Yan would probably ask her when he returned to the villa.
Qiao Nian looked at the intersection and said, "Let's go back soon."
Guan Yan said "oh" and immediately asked her: "Have you watched the news?"
"What news?" Qiao Nian was having dinner with Zhong Yilu tonight and had no time to play with her phone. The last time she played with it was to play games. Plus, she didn't usually like to read news push notifications, so she really had no idea what news Guan Yan was talking about.
"Huh, he didn't tell you?" Guan Yan asked in surprise.
Qiao Nian's eyes twitched, and she always felt that the person she was talking about was Ye Wangchuan.
Before she could ask, Guan Yan said, "During your meal time, a shooting occurred in front of the Smith Bank Building. One person was injured, but the criminal was not caught."
Such accidents happen frequently in Continent M, and the news doesn’t even report about them.
Qiao Nian knew that Guan Yan mentioned this specifically, so there must be something else going on.
"This shooting is not the point. The point is that I have been investigating the whereabouts of Zhai Xicheng recently. So I found two groups of people, one to track down Zhai Xicheng's whereabouts, and the other to keep an eye on Nie Qingru. You also know their relationship, and I thought I might be able to find something. As a result, I really encountered it - not long after the shooting, Nie Qingru hurried to the hospital to visit the victim. He kept his identity secret and went there in a low profile."
Guan Yan expressed his guess: "Do you think the victim could be the Zhai Xicheng we have been looking for?"
And she felt that it was not an accident that Zhai Xicheng was suddenly shot in the street. It was most likely done by Ye Shao, the man who protected Sun behind the scenes.
After all, Sun was almost tricked a few days ago and suffered minor injuries, and then something happened in Continent M. Coincidences are not that coincidental.
Guan Yan would be surprised and say "He didn't tell you" the first time Qiao Nian said he didn't know.
"I don't know." Qiao Nian really didn't know this time. Her guess was similar to Guan Yan's. She looked up and saw Gu San driving in front of her: "I'll hang up first."
Guan Yan muttered, "Then come back quickly, I'll wait for you here."
Qiao Nian hung up the phone first, put down the phone, looked at the driver through the left mirror, thought about it before asking: "Did he do the thing in Continent M?"
Gu San just stopped the car and waited for the red light. When he heard Qiao Nian asking him, he responded sincerely, "I don't know, Miss Qiao. I have been staying in the Independent Island and I am only responsible for taking care of your safety."
Qiao Nian didn't say anything else.
However, she could tell from Gu San's words that at least Gu San knew about this matter, so the probability that Ye Wangchuan did it was very high.
He vented his anger on her
Qiao Nian couldn't describe the feeling. Her heart felt like it was bitten by an ant, and the tingling sensation flowed through her body along with the blood supply. She raised her hand to cover her heart, and the heartbeat under her hand pounded against her palm, again and again, powerful and reliable...
