Nolan’s conciliatory tweet caused an uproar online as soon as it was posted.
Those who were already swept up by the frenzy believed even more that, although Nolan had done wrong, the root of all this started because of Xiya.
In conclusion, Xiya was also one of the sources of bla and it wasn’t fair to pin all the fault on Nolan alone.
Of course, not everyone agreed with this perspective, and so firmly believed Nolan was just playing the victim.
The two camps argued endlessly online.
The argunt eventually veered toward the topic of Nolan being beaten.
[Regardless of whether Nolan is playing the victim or not, the truth is Xiya seriously injured Nolan. This proves she’s not weak, and perhaps even possesses strong combat power. Could soone like her really have had such a miserable childhood?]
[If she can beat Nolan like that, who else could possibly bully her? I’m starting to doubt the authenticity of the claims that she was psychologically abused as a child.]
[She seems like a deeply calculating woman.]
[...]
Amidst the fierce online discussions, Andrew received a call from You’en.
"You’en? Did you find out anything?"
On the other end of the line, You’en said sothing cryptic: "Do you know the na of the person targeting you this ti?"
Andrew replied irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? Did you find out why Qiao Si is targeting us or not?"
"You said it yourself—his na is Qiao Si." You’en’s tone grew heavier. "Any guesses?"
Andrew was stunned.
Qiao Si...
Qiao...
Andrew’s eyes widened abruptly, his voice filled with astonishnt: "Qiao Si? His last na is Qiao!?"
"Isn’t it obvious now?"
Piecing together recent events, Andrew inhaled sharply: "What is Qiao Professor’s relationship with Qiao Si?"
"You’ve already guessed. Do you still need to give you the answer?"
You’en’s offhand remark plunged Andrew into a state of panic, as though he had been dealt a fierce blow—his head spinning, his ears ringing.
Who could have imagined that the Qiao Family, deeply rooted in the O Continent for so many years, was also part of China’s Qiao Family?
No wonder Qiao Si suddenly targeted them.
Andrew felt like the world had gone mad.
To be honest, offending Qiao Professor wasn’t sothing Andrew felt would cause any major losses, since no matter how capable Qiao Professor was, it wasn’t likely he would stay in the O Continent forever.
But Qiao Si was different. His influence in the O Continent was real; with just one remark, he could cause trendous losses to the Andrew Family.
It turned out that behind Qiao Professor stood such a heavyweight figure.
Andrew’s thoughts were chaotic.
He recalled the earlier investigation about Nolan going to the tech museum to apologize to Xiya, and Qiao Si also being present there at the sa ti.
Thinking about it now, everything fell into place!
You’en’s next words confird his suspicions.
"You should ask Nolan what exactly he did to make Qiao Si so unhappy."
Andrew, who had previously vowed that Nolan understood boundaries, now felt utterly slapped in the face.
At this mont, You’en spoke again.
"Before that, maybe you should check online to see what Nolan is up to."
"What do you an?"
"See for yourself."
Before Andrew could press further, You’en had already hung up.
Andrew, too preoccupied to reprimand You’en for his cold deanor, quickly went online to check.
One look, and his blood pressure nearly surged through the roof!
...
After hanging up on Andrew, You’en calmly dialed another number.
The phone rang for a while before being answered.
Compared to his cavalier attitude with Andrew, You’en’s tone beca more serious this ti.
"Mr. Li."
...
Li Hanzhou handed the glass of milk in his hand to Qiao Yun, lowering his eyes and speaking lazily: "You’en?"
Qiao Yun accepted the milk, cradling it in her hands and sipping it slowly.
Her deanor was well-behaved and quiet.
Li Hanzhou’s lips curved into a faint smile before continuing, "What is it?"
"I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be intervening in the Andrew Family’s affairs anymore."
Li Hanzhou rely responded with an "Mm."
"I’ve said what I needed to say, so I won’t take up your ti."
You’en, recognizing Li Hanzhou’s temperant, didn’t linger once he made his position clear. He simply suggested eting up soti and hung up the phone without further chatter.
After learning about the incident involving Nolan and Han Wang, You’en reached out to Li Hanzhou, hoping that Li would spare the Andrew Family given their connection.
This was the reason for his previous warning to Andrew.
Unfortunately... the Andrew Family still had its share of fools.
Now that things had escalated to this point, it was beyond his ability to control.
...
Qiao Yun sipped on her milk while looking at Li Hanzhou.
The hair on his forehead had been brushed back, revealing his handso brow and eyes completely. This face was truly a sight to behold.
Li Hanzhou put away his phone, and when he glanced up, he caught Qiao Yun staring at him.
He smiled, "What are you looking at?"
Qiao Yun replied straightforwardly, "You. You look good."
Li Hanzhou’s smile widened, clearly in a good mood. He asked, "Why aren’t you concerned about Han Wang’s situation this ti?"
Qiao Yun made a soft sound, then looked upstairs. "Soone’s more anxious about it than I am."
