"Since she asked the Xie family to leave, it means she wanted to find the people who participated in the incident. As for the people trapped downstairs...she doesn't bother to take revenge."
Those downstairs were just the younger generation sent by the family. Except for the old lady from the Xie family, none of the old guys who participated in the event showed up.
Now that Qiao Nian has found out the truth, he must be aware that these people are just pawns of the family.
The reason why she didn't let him go.
I'm afraid it was done for the old guys who participated in it at the beginning.
Make those old guys feel uneasy.
"Master Zhai, then we..." The secret guard probably understood what he meant.
Zhai Xicheng sneered, retracted his gaze from the window, and looked back: "We?"
There was mockery and sarcasm in his eyes, but no fear: "We are different. I have a grudge against her."
He had used Simon to plot against Qiao Nian in the Independent State.
Later, Qiao Nian attacked him again in the high seas.
They are of the same kind, and neither of them has the intention to let the other go.
"No news from Continent M?" Zhai Xicheng asked him softly without any hurry.
The secret guard was about to tell him this, but immediately held his breath and lowered his head: "The Queen told you not to worry, she will help you leave soon."
"oh?"
Zhai Xicheng was well aware of how grim Nie Qingru's current situation was. He had his own way to leave, but he chose not to.
Hearing this, he just smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Then I'll wait for my aunt to come and rescue me."
**
Qiao Nian was waiting in the small western-style building for Ye Wangchuan to bring his men back.
She didn't have to wait long.
The sound of a car stopping was heard outside. "Sun, the people are back." Guan Yan glanced outside and raised his chin slightly to signal her to look outside.
really.
Qiao Nian soon saw Old Lady Xie following Ye Wangchuan in.
Old Mrs. Xie felt uneasy from the moment she came in, and her anxiety reached its peak when she finally saw the girl standing in the living room.
But she was a person who was good at disguising herself. Even at this point, she could still force out a nonchalant smile and greet the girl: "Qiao Nian, I heard you were looking for me."
Guan Yan clicked his tongue and looked at her with admiration, as if he admired that she could still act like a familiar elder even at this point.
He is quite good at pretending.
She was used to the straightforward personalities of the people in the illegal area, and didn't like dealing with people like Mrs. Xie, so she said to the girl, "Sun, I'm going back to the room first, you two can chat slowly."
"OK."
Qiao Nian responded and walked casually in the direction of Old Lady Xie, stopping in front of the person who was pretending to be familiar with her.
"Long time no see, thank you Madam."
"..." Mrs. Xie couldn't figure out what she meant, so she forced a smile and pretended nothing had happened: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here. Why did you come to the illegal area...?"
She only heard from Zhai Xicheng that day that the person who kidnapped the last person of the South Alliance was Qiao Nian, but she did not see it with her own eyes.
So she still held on to the last glimmer of hope that Qiao Nian was not here because of what happened that year.
Who knew that her dream would soon be shattered.
"I want to know the list of people who were involved in that incident."
"… "
Old Mrs. Xie was extremely horrified. She pinched her palms to force herself to calm down and tried to deny it: "I... I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know what happened."
