He did not dare to tell Nie Qingru that Chun Lei, a gangster under David, had dislocated both of Zhai Xicheng's arms and locked him up in a damp water tank.
Because of what he said, he saw that the Queen's eyes were becoming increasingly gloomy, and she slammed her fist on the conference table.
"He dares!"
Nie Qingru was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and there seemed to be a string in his brain that was pulling at the back of his head, causing a severe headache.
She was so angry that her face turned blue and black, but she was clear-headed.
David is Qiao Nian's man, not from a secluded family. He has nothing to do with her, so of course he won't be afraid of her.
Since Qiao Nian herself doesn't get along with her and doesn't respect her as her grandmother, how could the people under Qiao Nian take her seriously
Nie Qingru almost vomited blood when he thought of this. He suppressed his surging blood and asked Yingzi: "Where did they take the people?"
"...Independent Continent." Shadow had been with her for decades, so he couldn't tell how angry she was at the moment. He said softly, "Qiao Nian is in Independent Continent."
"Humph." Nie Qingru sneered: "Even if you don't tell me, I know she is in the Independent Continent! How could David appear in the illegal area unless she ordered him to do so? She is quite smart!"
If Qiao Nian hadn't asked David to make a special trip, her people might have rescued Xicheng.
Just thinking about the final push, Nie Qingru felt so nauseous that his chest ached. He pressed his hand on his chest and closed his eyes to think of a solution.
"We can't leave West City in her hands. It's too dangerous."
Seeing that she was still thinking about Zhai Xicheng even though she was so angry, Yingzi couldn't help but whispered, "Queen, we have put a lot of effort into Master Zhai, and you are not in a good situation now. How about forget it? Otherwise, you will always be led by Qiao Nian."
"I don't want to hear you say that again." Nie Qingru turned to look at him, her eyes cold and intimidating without even being angry.
Shadow slowly lowered his head after being scolded: "...Yes."
Nie Qingru ignored his emotions, turned around, and tapped the tabletop quickly with her knuckles. She seemed to remember something, and asked him without raising her eyelids: "I remember you told me a few days ago that something interesting happened in Jing City?"
"You mean..." Shadow looked over.
Nie Qingru thought for a moment and ordered, "Bring that person here. I want to see her."
**
Qiao Nian didn't know that 'someone' had secured his position in Continent M by using her name.
She met Shi Fu and Feng Yu with Xu Yi.
Shi Fu shared with her their research results during this period. Among them, there were several raw materials missing, and he could not determine which material had been tested and was more suitable for making the weapons left by Ji Qing.
Feng Yu has more connections than Shi Fu in this regard.
He pulled Qiao Nian aside to chat: "Have you decided where to find the raw materials?"
"There are several raw materials. My friend has them. The only two missing are chromium and tungsten. Chromium is easy to obtain and I can find a seller on the black market. The problem is tungsten..."
Qiao Nian thought about this on the way.
"We need a lot of tungsten for experiments. We can find a way to get a small amount on the black market, but a large amount will arouse suspicion from other countries."
Tungsten is known as the king of war metals and the soul of the military industry. At the beginning, it was first used in the civilian field.
For example, Edison invented the light bulb.
Later, people gradually discovered that tungsten has a high density, and the alloys made from it have good hardness and strong corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in weapons manufacturing.
Currently, all weapons and equipment require this metal, whether it is guns, cannons, missiles, or bombs.
