"It doesn't matter."
Qiao Nian gave him a cold look and said calmly, "The worst outcome is that we all perish together. I'm not afraid of death. What about you?"
“…” Shadow was speechless.
He was not afraid of death, but was concerned about Nie Qingru's safety.
Nie Qingru has worked hard to get to her current position. If she were to die together with Qiao Nian, she would definitely consider whether it is worth it.
Therefore, Qiao Nian's words "not afraid of death" actually blocked all the retreat routes of the secluded family.
Even though they were not sure whether Qiao Nian was really not afraid, no one dared to bet.
**
Nie Qingru did not show up to deal with the subsequent matters. She handed all the matters over to Shadow and said to Fred, "Since I have given in, I hope you will also keep your promise and not pursue the matter further."
Fred knew that it was not easy for the hidden family to give in, so he agreed readily: "Of course."
Nie Qingru gave Qiao Nian a last deep look, as if she wanted to tear Qiao Nian into pieces and imprint them deep in her mind, then she turned around and went upstairs without looking back.
Yingzi immediately arranged for someone to bring Guan Yan and Qin Si out, and asked Qiao Nian and the others to wait outside.
Soon several mercenaries brought people over.
Qin Si was fine, he only suffered some minor skin injuries. His handsome face was blue and red, which looked unsightly, but from his actions it could be seen that his injuries were not serious.
Guan Yan is much more miserable.
If she hadn't been supported by people on both sides, she probably wouldn't have been able to even stand, let alone walk over.
Her clothes had long been bloodstained, with dark red blood clots coagulating and cracking, which was shocking to look at. The exposed skin on her wrists and neck could still be seen with marks of whipping...
Qiao Nian's expression changed immediately.
Luo Fei was so scared that he quickly comforted her: "Sun, it's good that you're out." Ye Wangchuan also pinched her but didn't say anything.
Qiao Nian suppressed the blood rushing to his temples, and relied on his strong rationality to suppress the urge to kill. With a cold face, he glanced at the shadow beside him, pursed his lips and said, "I'll remember your hospitality!"
Shadow groaned in his heart, but he knew that what he had done was done.
So he just replied calmly: "We will be treated the same way if we fall into your hands."
Qiao Nian didn't make any excuses. At least she didn't touch Singh and others. She was not the same kind of people as Nie Qingru and Yingzi, who would use any means to suppress her.
She just looked at Guan Yan who was walking over with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said restrainedly: "Are you okay?"
"Boss." Guan Yan rarely called her Boss, and forced a smile: "Not dead."
When Qiao Nian saw that she still had the energy to joke with him, he knew that her condition was not life-threatening, and his expression looked a little better.
He went forward to support her: "I'll take you back."
Qin Si was quicker than her. He had already supported Guan Yan's right arm and said stubbornly, "Try to toss him around again and see if he will die."
Shit, he hoped he would die
Guan Yan wanted to refute, but when he touched his bruised face, he subconsciously endured it and rarely got into an argument with him.
Qiao Nian saw the reactions of the two people, touched his ear, withdrew his hand, and tactfully did not plug it in to act as a light bulb, leaving Qin Si to take care of Guan Yan.
She turned around, pulled down her cap, looked up and said to the others, "Let's go back first."
Fred was quite traumatized today, and he looked at her strangely. He couldn't treat Qiao Nian the same way as he did at the beginning.
Luo Fei was eager to leave and called to the others, "Let's go, let's go."
