Nie Qingru hadn't yet calmed down, and her emotions were exposed: "What are they doing here?"
Shadow looked at her hesitantly, then lowered his head and stared at the tip of his leather shoes, but didn't say anything.
Nie Qingru pinched his brows, suppressed the haze in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Let them come over."
Several people from the Leonard family came over quickly. Among the group of old men in their sixties and seventies, there was only one young man, Lei Kai, who grew up with Leonard.
Lei Kai came over and greeted Shadow, then tactfully walked to the corner and stood side by side with Shadow to act as a background.
Shadow looked at him seriously. Lei Kai didn't seem to be behaving abnormally, so he looked away in confusion.
"Queen, we heard about the small accident outside Smith Bank." The old man in the lead was the first to break the silence and said, "We came here to take a look."
"Thank you for your hard work. The person is fine and is still being bandaged inside." Nie Qingru nodded solemnly, as dignified and arrogant as ever.
The old man didn't mind. He looked in the direction she said and suddenly said meaningfully, "Does the Queen know the person who was shot this time?"
Nie Qingru turned her head and stared at him: "What do you mean by this? Are you questioning me?"
The old man did not act arrogantly and quickly bowed to apologize: "Of course I did not question the Queen's intention. It's just that we have found the identity information of the person who reported us behind the scenes this time."
"Oh?" Nie Qingru's heart beat faster.
The old man met her eyes and said, "What a coincidence, that's the young man who was shot this time."
Nie Qingru immediately narrowed her eyes, with no expression on her face. She just reminded him calmly, "Have you checked it out? Don't let others use you as a tool."
She has been in a high position for many years and feels very oppressive.
The old man was obviously affected, but he still straightened his back and smiled, "Queen, we certainly won't come to you to ask for someone without evidence."
“…” They still want people
Nie Qingru didn't have time to sneer.
Then the old man's cold voice was heard: "An hour ago, we found that the account book at home was stolen. The exact time of the theft cannot be determined because all the surveillance along the way was destroyed and the technicians have not yet recovered the data. But that account book contains all the income and expenditure of our global foundries for the year, which means... the account that was reported this time is also on it, and this account book can serve as the most original evidence, ironclad proof."
Nie Qingru's throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and her expression changed constantly: "You mean..."
She felt that Zhai Xicheng was not that ignorant.
But she couldn't be 100% sure that it wasn't Zhai Xicheng who did it. The timing was too ambiguous at this critical juncture, and Zhai Xicheng was the most likely suspect.
The elders of the Reynard family obviously thought the same. The old man spoke very rudely and bowed to her: "Queen, we are all from the same hidden family. We can discuss and resolve our conflicts privately. We will not discuss the right or wrong of the previous report for the time being. But the theft of the account book has touched our bottom line! Whether this matter is brought out or discussed here, we must give an explanation, and the account book... we must get it back!"
Nie Qingru knew very well how important the account book of a big family was, and she also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she could only purse her lips and endure the other party's questioning.
"He's still bandaging his wounds, and he's not very conscious yet. When he wakes up, I'll give you an explanation."
