Chapter 3575: Investigate Qiao Nian’s Whereabouts

Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’ve asked around.” Shadow lowered his head. “It’s a person called K. He should be the big boss who entrusted the Pharmacy Association to research gene medicine. From what the Pharmacy Association said, it seems the experiment only succeeded in producing this one pill. That person stored it in the Pharmacy Association. He originally said that he would take the medicine when he was of a certain age. Unexpectedly, he encountered some setbacks and needed money. Apparently, he thought for a long time before entrusting the Pharmacy Association to auction this medicine.

“Recently, only the gala tomorrow is grand enough to match the medicine’s specifications. Probably because of this, the Pharmacy Association’s people came looking for us.”

Such a heaven-defying medicine couldn’t be cheap.

Ordinary auctions couldn’t auction such things. Only underground auctions barely qualified.

However, there was a fixed time for underground auctions. The other party was anxious to cash out, so they needed to think of other ways. Coincidentally, the charity party that Her Majesty the Empress was attending tomorrow was suitable.

With Nie Qingru attending the banquet, many reclusive families’ forces would give her face and attend. Many business giants and famous politicians were also attending.

The gene medicine was enough to cause a sensation.

Nie Qingru stood up and thought quickly. The corners of her mouth twitched as she adjusted her shoulder and snorted. “Such a coincidence.”

She felt that there was more to this.

At the very least, it wasn’t as simple and reasonable as it seemed.

The Pharmacy Association had always had the pill. This medicine was extremely precious, but it was being auctioned at such a time.

Shadow looked at her worriedly. “Since there’s something fishy about it, let’s…”

Nie Qingru interrupted him before he could finish, “Of course, we’re going.”

“Didn’t you say…?” Shadow did not understand.

Since the Empress thought there was a trap, why would she attend the banquet tomorrow?

Nie Qingru calmly tucked the hair behind her ear and said indifferently, “You said it yourself. The medicine is real. No matter what’s fishy about this matter, I still want that medicine!”

She was old, she needed this medicine to prolong her life.

Nie Qingru knew that the so-called gene medicine was not omnipotent. Extending one’s lifespan was only a saying. There was a high chance that it would only activate the cells in the body to maintain their youth and vitality. Then, they could live for two more years while strengthening their bodies.

That was enough.

She had to get this medicine even if it only extended her life by just half a year.

Nie Qingru paced back and forth before ordering Shadow with a deep gaze, “Investigate K again.”

Before Shadow could leave, she added, “Also, find out Qiao Nian’s whereabouts.”

**

Qiao Nian had already expected Nie Qingru’s response when she found out that the gene medicine would be auctioned tomorrow.

That’s why she used an alias to check into the hotel and even erased her record at the customs at the airport in advance.

So, Shadow searched for a long time but could not find anything.

Moreover, Ye Wangchuan agreed to help her set up a smokescreen in the independent continent to create the illusion that she was still there.

After a round of investigation, Shadow reported this information to Nie Qingru.

“The Ji family is in a mess.

“Qiao Nian is still in the independent continent.”

Her biggest worry was this granddaughter related to her by blood and whom she hated the most. Thus, she was relieved upon hearing that Qiao Nian was in the independent continent.

“Have someone keep an eye on her.”

“Okay.”

Shadow knew what to do without her telling him.
