Inside.
“Elder Xue, Elder Leo is causing trouble outside and wants to see you. Look…”
In the huge white room, the silver-haired old man was ticulously practicing his calligraphy. He looked calm and imposing.
Hearing this, he placed the pen on the pen holder and unhurriedly asked, “What’s he doing here?”
The Conservatives and Radicals had always kept to their own business. The two factions did not get along but maintained the relationship flawlessly on the surface. They usually greeted each other upon eting.
Leonard had a bad temper, but he was also smart. He never went too far. Was he crazy today?
That person lowered his head and said very respectfully, “l don’t know, either. Elder Leo suddenly brought people over and looked very angry. He wanted to barge in, but we stopped him… He only said that he had sothing to discuss with you. He didn’t say anything more.”
Elder Xue had already tidied up the rice paper on the table. He nodded and said, “Let him in.’
Leonard entered quickly. His expression was terrifyingly dark, and he did not hide his anger at all. He said the mont he entered, “What do you an by this?”
Elder Xue frowned slightly.
He stood up and walked towards the mahogany chair used for receiving guests.
“What are you saying?’
“You’re still acting dumb.” Leonard was really angry this ti. He spoke bluntly and did not hide his purpose. “Don’t you know what your person has done?!”
Elder Xue sat on the chair, picked up the thermos flask on the table, and unscrewed the cap. He lowered his head to take a sip before slowly looking at him. “Oh? My person? Who is it?”
Leonard hated him for playing dumb. He walked over, sat down, placed his hand on the coffee table, and gritted his teeth. “Who else can it be?! Don’t you think highly of the direct descendants of the Ji family? It’s that Easterner, Qiao Nian!”
Elder Xue’s warm expression faded slightly, and a dignified aura exuded from him. He reminded him coldly, “She has already entered the Privy Council and is a mber. Elder Leo, watch your words!”
“Hmph!” Leonard snorted angrily. Then, he questioned, “Alright, now that you ntioned the Privy Council, I have sothing to ask you too. What does Qiao Nian an by this? She didn’t complete the mission herself, but she went to the airport to kidnap the target. Is this the way you conservatives do things?!
Do you only know how to steal credit?”
Actually, Elder Xue did not know what Qiao Nian had done, nor did he know what he ant by airport and kidnapping.
However, he did not show it. There was only a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. As if he knew sothing, he put down the thermos flask and said, “This mission was originally given to them by the Privy Council to complete together. Why does she have to steal it?”
“It’s all because she wants to…” Leonard almost blurted out that Qiao Nian wanted to embarrass them.
Elder Xue looked at him calmly. “She wants to?”
Leonard could not bring himself to say it. There was a ball of anger in his heart, so he casually pulled it away. “Anyway, she kidnapped him! You can’t deny this!”
“Oh.” The silver-haired old man was still very calm. He flicked the wrinkles on his clothes and looked at him with a pair of hawk-like eyes. “Do you have evidence?”
Leonard said, “What?”
He found it unbelievable. “Who else could it be other than her! Who would do this?”
Elder Xue did not buy it. “Then there’s no evidence.”
Leonard jumped to his feet. His expression was extrely ugly as he narrowed his eyes.. “You’re not going to admit it?”
