Nie Qingru's tense nerves were aroused again. She didn't even notice that her anger had subsided. She walked over to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"The doctor said I need to rest." Zhai Xicheng picked up his coat with his right hand and prepared to put it over his shoulders to cover the bandaged wound.
Nie Qingru snatched his coat and frowned, "You're already injured, why are you still moving around!"
She didn't overstep the line and called out coldly, "Shadow."
The man who followed her in walked over motionlessly, took the clothes from her hand, silently put them on Zhai Xicheng's shoulders, and then silently pushed them aside.
Nie Qingru's eyes passed over Zhai Xicheng's face, which was 50% similar to the man in her memory. She raised her hand and pressed her forehead: "Xicheng, let me ask you. Did you ask someone to take the account book of the Reynard family?"
When Shadow put his coat on, Zhai Xicheng was still wondering who had caused his injury. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "What account book?"
"You don't know?" Nie Qingru was stunned and observed his expression: "The Reynard family just came to our house and said that the family account book was lost. You also know that this time is special, and their account book is the best evidence for the report..."
"I didn't take it." Zhai Xicheng said firmly, "I'm not that aggressive. I found someone to report them. I wanted to give them a warning. It's not easy for you to do this, so I did it. But I didn't let anyone touch their account books... I know clearly what can be touched and what can't be touched. Once I touch the account books, I will cross the bottom line of petty violence."
Seeing that he didn't look fake, Nie Qingru's expression gradually became serious: "If you didn't hire someone to do it, then who did it?"
The Leonard family is not a small family that anyone can get into.
Not to mention finding such an important account book and taking it away smoothly, and destroying the surveillance along the way.
She believed in Zhai Xicheng's ability, so when the people from the Leonard family came to her, she was not sure whether it was Zhai Xicheng who did it.
But now Zhai Xicheng denies it.
So who did it
Zhai Xicheng's eyes were full of mystery: "Qiao Nian."
Nie Qingru looked up at him, extremely surprised: "She?"
She immediately denied it: "Impossible! How did she do it in such a short time? Continent M is not her territory, she can't have done it."
If Qiao Nian could sneak into the lair of the Reynard family without anyone noticing and steal such an important account book, he would not have almost lost his life trying to get into her safe.
Zhai Xicheng thought more than she did and thought of a possibility: "Is it possible that someone from the Reynard family is helping her?"
"..." Nie Qingru looked at him strangely: "Do you know what you are talking about? The person who has access to the account book must be of high status, why would that person help her? This is not a small favor. And it involves the interests of the family..."
Zhai Xicheng didn't care: "As long as the account book doesn't spread out, it won't harm the interests of the family! It will only indirectly lead to the Reynard family clashing with us."
Nie Qingru fell into deep thought.
Zhai Xicheng was even more certain that his guess was correct: "They are coming for me!"
He still couldn't confirm whether the sniper and the theft of the account book were a serial conspiracy or done by two groups of people.
However, no matter whether it was a serial conspiracy designed from the beginning or done by two groups separately, they both trapped him very cleverly.
