Chapter 3651: Could It Be That She Still Wanted to Kill Her Grandmother With Her Own Hands?

Continent M.

Nie Qingru had yet to clean up the mess after what happened a few days ago.

Because of her impulsive actions, in the past few days, not only had the Privy Council been looking for her, but people from the aviation and sea transportation departments had also been looking for her, making Nie Qingru unable to bear the disturbance.

She only got rid of the people from the Privy Council in the evening. As soon as she reached home, she threw down her large hat, revealing a sinister face. She asked the person who followed her in, “Is there any news from the independent continent?”

Shadow said softly, “Ji Lingfeng has already undergone surgery. If I’m not wrong, he should be out of danger. Elder Zhong is still taking care of him at the hospital. He even transferred some special medicine from the Pharmacy Association…”

“Hmph.” Nie Qingru sat on the sofa and sneered. “He’s lucky.”

If not for the fact that the evil creature was willing to take the risk to obtain the antidote for him, the grass on Ji Lingfeng’s grave would have grown more than a foot tall!

Nie Qingru thought of the things taken away and felt unhappy. “What about her?”

Shadow raised his head slightly. “Qiao Nian hasn’t done anything recently. She has been staying at Bright Gate’s base and hasn’t gone out. Today, she went out to see Simon. I don’t know what they talked about, but she left the Chamber of Commerce Alliance not long after. It seems they didn’t quarrel. However, not long after she left, Simon gathered the core members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance for an internal meeting and proposed to resign. This should be Qiao Nian’s doing!”

Nie Qingru couldn’t hide her disgust. “It’s normal for her to do this. Isn’t the direct descendant of the Ji family like this? Whoever offends them will definitely be killed.”

Shadow remained silent.

Nie Qingru probably found it boring. She bent down and picked up the bottle on the table. She opened the cork and took a glass for herself. She poured a glass of tequila and held it in her hand. “Where is he? He’s not back yet.”

Shadow had been by her side for decades. Even though Nie Qingru did not specify who it was, he still understood who Nie Qingru was asking about.

“Don’t worry, Young Master is on his way back. He’s coming back by sea. He’s capable enough. Qiao Nian won’t be able to detect his existence so easily.”

“Mm.”

Nie Qingru took a deep breath, almost emotionless.

Just as Shadow was hesitating to ask her to call the other party, he received a call.

Shadow knew the rules. He covered the receiver and said, “Empress, I’ve to answer this call.”

“Go.” Nie Qingru swirled the wine expressionlessly, her mind elsewhere.

Shadow walked to the side and picked up the call. The other party spoke, and his expression turned ugly. He returned in less than two minutes and said to Nie Qingru, “Something happened.”

Nie Qingru had just drunk a mouthful of wine. The strong brew was unpleasant when it entered her throat. Hearing the panic in Shadow’s voice, it did not seem comfortable.

She put down the glass and asked coldly, “What is it?”

Shadow gritted his teeth before saying, “Qiao Nian found out about Young Master! According to the information we received on the high seas, she seems to want to keep him there.”

“What?!”

The usually unshakable Nie Qingru suddenly stood up. Her molars were clenched tightly, and her face was twisted in disbelief. “How did she find out about the Xicheng? No, what does she want?! It’s not enough to take the antidote from me, and Qixing’s death isn’t enough… What does she want?! Does she really want to kill her grandmother for Ji Qing?!”

Nie Qingru’s chest heaved up and down. Anger poured into her, causing her head to buzz non-stop. It was as if she had returned to decades ago.
