“What!” Leonard stopped cold. Then, he walked to a place with fewer people and questioned her in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you? How did they steal the target? What are you doing? Did you just watch the target being stolen?”
“l realized that there was no signal on my cell phone when I got off the plane, so I got soone to ask the airport staff. Before that person returned, 1 saw a black Lincoln parked on the tarmac. The license plate number is the one you told about…
“The chauffeur greeted as soon as he saw . He said that you had sothing urgent to attend to and couldn’t co. He said that you asked him to pick up the target.”
Leonard’s head buzzed, and his blood rushed to the top of his head. He gripped his cell phone tightly, and his face turned red. “l did not tell anyone to pick you up!’
“l… I also suspected that sothing was wrong back then. I asked him a few questions, but he answered them flawlessly.
“He even offered to let call you.”
Ji Ziyin’s voice trembled. “l didn’t think he was lying. In addition, I couldn’t contact you, so I followed his instructions and escorted the target into the car… Who knew that the mont he got into the car, he stepped on the accelerator and ran away!
“We’ve been played.”
If Leonard had not been sure at first that he had been tricked, he knew it now.
With his status, it had been a long ti since he had been played like a monkey.
“l ca over half an hour ago, but I encountered the sa situation as you.” His voice was low and filled with hatred. “We encountered a car accident halfway, and the other party kept pestering us and refused to move aside. Now, it seems that it wasn’t an ‘accident’ at all. Soone deliberately set it up to stall for ti!”
Ji Ziyin had already regained her senses and cald down. “Who did it?” She quickly realized who it was.
Stiffening, her shoulders trembled as she gritted her teeth and said, “It’s her! It’s Qiao Nian! Only she can block the airport’s signal. Only she can find the license plate number and forge an identical car.”
Ji Ziyin felt cold air gushing in from all over her body, and the tips of her fingers were shockingly cold.
“She had it all planned out, just waiting for to co back from the illegal district.
“She didn’t give up on the mission. She wanted to steal it from the beginning!’
Without another word, Leonard narrowed his eyes in anger. “Alright, co back first. I’ll settle the score with her imdiately!’
He said that he wanted to settle scores with Qiao Nian, but Qiao Nian did not live in the Privy Council.
Leonard hurriedly returned to the Privy Council to look for her, but he did not even find her.
He could not take this lying down and brought his n to look for Elder Xue angrily.
The Conservatives’ territory in the Privy Council.
Leonard rushed over with a dark expression, looking like he was about to cause trouble, but he was stopped. ‘Elder Leo, what are you doing?”
Leonard was about to go crazy from anger. He waved his hand and scolded angrily, “Get lost! I want to see your Elder Xue.”
The Conservatives did not buy it. Not only did they not move aside, but they also gave him a look. More people blocked the way.
“Elder Leo, this is the Privy Council. If you want to discuss sothing with Elder Xue, you can inform him first. We’ll go in and ask if Elder Xue has ti to see you.”
Leonard’s face darkened.
Seeing that the Conservatives were blocking the way one by one, he could only suppress his anger and say stiffly, “l have sothing to discuss with him.”
With his status, the Conservatives did not dare to disrespect him. Hence, the leader imdiately said, “Please wait here. I’ll go in and ask Elder Xue..’!
