Wait until he leaves.
The shadow just appeared and quietly walked to Nie Qingru's side.
"The Queen."
Nie Qingru had already made up her mind and no longer hesitated: "Are the police about to find out about us?"
"Qiao Nian's people are really powerful. Through hacking and underground organizations, they have already found our contact. It's only a matter of time before they find evidence."
"Um."
Nie Qingru changed from the annoyance of the past two days. This time he seemed very calm and said calmly: "In this case, we have to make preparations and push out a scapegoat."
"?" Shadow probably guessed something and quickly looked up at her.
Nie Qingru didn't even raise her eyelids, and said calmly, "That wolf cub is not so easy to deal with. She won't stop eating until she sees the meat."
"I was originally struggling with how to get rid of her, but now it seems that God has made the decision for me."
"What do you mean?" Shadow knew what was going on.
Nie Qingru said grimly, "The public opinion online is boiling over. We can't let this public opinion continue, otherwise the fire will burn me."
"In order to not give them the chance to continue, I had no choice but to cut off my arm in pain to survive. Big brother will understand me."
She spoke calmly, as if Nie Tao really "understood" her difficulties and was willing to be her scapegoat.
But Shadow always put her at the center, and said without thinking: "Yes, Mr. Nie will definitely understand how difficult it is for you."
Nie Qingru's expression eased a lot, and he told him, "Go ahead and do it."

When Nie Tao returned from Nie Qingru's place, he told his ally the good news.
"Don't worry, my sister will come forward to solve this matter."
Lagerfeld was naturally overjoyed and thanked him quickly: "Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Nie. Then I will wait for your good news."
"Yeah, no problem, don't worry."
Nie Tao said this with great confidence, believing in Nie Qingru's ability. After receiving his assurance, Lagerfeld gradually felt relieved, and the pain of being exposed and humiliated online was slightly alleviated, and he was barely at ease.
…
Nie Tao handed the matter over to Nie Qingru and, as usual, did not care about it anymore.
Two days later.
He received a call from Lagerfeld at home.
Nie Tao thought the news had died down, so he answered without thinking too much: "Hello, Master Lagerfeld."
He didn't have time to ask the other party how he had time to call him.
Then he heard Lagerfeld questioning him with a heavy heart: "Mr. Nie, didn't you say that you have already told the Queen and that the Queen will come forward to help me?"
"Yes, I did." Nie Tao took the car keys from the servant, looked arrogant, and said to the servant indifferently: "I won't be back tonight."
Lagerfeld was obviously dissatisfied with his absent-minded behavior, and suppressed his anger and said: "Then why are there more and more news about me on the Internet! The police have come to my house to investigate the case of harassment ten years ago. This is different from what you agreed..."
"What did you say?"
Nie Tao finally focused his attention, his face full of surprise.
"You said the police came to your house?"
"This morning the police came to my studio and asked for me by name. They took me back for questioning and said it was a report from the victim, accusing me of sexual harassment," Lagerfeld said dejectedly.
Nie Tao immediately said: "Impossible!"
Lagerfeld ignored him: "In addition to the male model going to the police station to file a case, I also received a lawyer's letter from Sally..."
Sally was the female designer back then and Lagerfeld’s former boss.
