Surprisingly, except for the man with a mole on his left cheek, most of the people actually have nothing to do with Tianchen. They are all mercenaries in the illegal area.
It seems that Nie Qingru has run out of manpower in the illegal area and cannot find anyone to use for the time being, so he uses high profits to gather these mercenaries for his own use.
Mercenaries are a troublesome group in any region, as most wandering mercenaries have no principles or bottom line.
They do things with only one principle in mind: money.
They'll do anything if you pay them enough.
And they are not afraid of death.
Therefore, in many places these wandering mercenary groups are also called "people without a future".
Qiao Nian didn't expect Nie Qingru to get in touch with such a group for Zhai Xicheng. After all, from any perspective, the empress, who was always high and mighty, had nothing to do with these groups that were not even considered the lowest class...
One is the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the other is a rat hiding in the city's sewers.
These two completely different people are actually mixed together.
Qiao Nian couldn't express what she was feeling. She just felt that this was something Nie Qingru would do, and she was once again disgusted by her hypocrisy.
After she locked down the identities of these people, she took a screenshot of Tianchen's photo and sent it to Jian Jin. In order to save time, she made a phone call.
"beep…"
The phone rang once and was connected.
Qiao Nian said briefly: "Did you receive the message I sent you?"
Jian Jin finished handing over the work to her assistant and then walked out of Tianchen headquarters with a brisk pace: "You sent me a message? What message?"
She didn't say that she had a showdown with Lu Zhi and ran away from Tianchen.
Because of her relationship with Qiao Nian, she knew Qiao Nian's character and didn't want her to ruin the relationship that she and Lu Zhi had finally repaired.
She easily changed the subject: "Wait for me, let me take a look." "Okay." Qiao Nian had been fussing about Guanyan for most of the day, and he didn't know that Jian Jin and Lu Zhi had already quarreled. He rubbed his forehead and waited for her.
Jian Jin opened WeChat and looked at the unread messages.
She found the photo that Qiao Nian had sent her a few minutes ago from a pile of messages, clicked it and took a look. She frowned and her expression changed from relaxed to serious.
As soon as she walked out of Tianchen, she stopped involuntarily: "What's wrong with this person?"
Qiao Nian did not hide it from her and told her how Guan Yan was taken away from Tingtang in the afternoon.
"I asked a portrait artist to search for several people based on the portraits drawn by people who had seen them. This person is one of them."
"You want to ask me... whether Mr. Lu was involved?" Jian Jin was very perceptive.
Qiao Nian was silent for a moment.
She didn't want to doubt Lu Zhi, but since this person appeared, she had to be responsible for Guan Yan's safety and could not miss any possibility.
In her silence, Jian Jin said slowly, "Not as far as I know."
"QIAO, he treats you differently than outsiders. I believe he won't do anything to hurt you... As for this person, he is indeed from Tianchen. But you also know Nie Qingru's methods. There are so many people in Tianchen, it is inevitable that there are spies planted outside."
"I see."
Qiao Nian's tense nerves relaxed and stretched out.
She no longer mentioned this sensitive topic, and chatted briefly with Qiao Nian. She asked where Qiao Nian was now and said she would be there soon.

Qin Si had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.
