Nie Qingru could not have known she would ask Leonard about Nie Qixing, so there was no reason to attack him.
So the question was back to square one.
Who did it?
Ye Wangchuan lowered his eyes slightly. "Have you considered Ji Ziyin?"
"Her?" Qiao Nian was a little surprised and did not answer for a mont. "She doesn't have the guts, right?"
Ye Wangchuan did not answer.
He only suspected…
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes. Before she could think further, the nerve in her head tugged at the back of her head again.
Feng Yu rushed in at this mont. He said in a serious tone, "Leonard is dead."
Mo Xi, Mo Dong, Gu San, Qiao Nian, and Ye Wangchuan were stunned. They did not expect him to die so easily.
Feng Yu took a deep breath. "I just received news from the hospital. Leonard died half an hour ago."
"I think his family won't let it go just like that. They'll contact the reclusive families… I'm afraid it won't be so easy from now on."
He tried not to make it sound too serious, but everyone understood the severity of the matter.
If Leonard was fine, there was still room for negotiation.
However, Leonard's rescue was ineffective and he ended up dying.
Things developed in the worst direction…
"Have they contacted the reclusive families?" Ye Wangchuan stood up and asked.
Feng Yu shook his head worriedly. "They've covered up the news. I don't know if they've contacted the reclusive families. However, it looks like they're definitely going to contact them. This ti, I'm afraid… the Empress will also ask about it!"
Leonard was one of the three heads of the Privy Council. He died in the independent continent for no reason, and Qiao Nian happened to be with him.
There was no way Nie Qingru would leave them alone.
She would definitely make a trip to the independent continent. At that ti, they would not part on good terms like last ti when things could be resolved easily.
"What about the Ji family? Have they received the news?" Ye Wangchuan was calm.
Feng Yu hesitated but still shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I've already received the news. They should be receiving the news soon."
Mo Xi pushed up his gold-rimd glasses. "Master Wang, it looks like we have to make preparations in advance."
He turned to look in the girl's direction. "Miss Qiao… I'm afraid you need protection now."
"I'll do it." Mo Dong accepted the mission without another word.
Qiao Nian slowly lowered her baseball cap and raised her head slightly, revealing an extrely provocative oval face.
"Tsk!" The corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes were dry. "Interesting."
Mo Xi, Mo Dong, and Feng Yu all looked at her.
Why was she still concerned about this at a ti like this?
Wasn't she afraid the reclusive families and Leonard's family would take revenge on her? Behind those people was an Empress eyeing them covetously. Her current situation was terrible!
Qiao Nian did not care about this. She stood up, picked up her phone, and then turned to Ye Wangchuan. "Can Elder Ye take care of my father and the others during this period?"
Ye Wangchuan knew what she ant. He got up to make a call. "I'll talk to him."
"Yes," Qiao Nian replied. Her eyes were like the night sky. "I'll tell Daji to arrange for so people just in case. So people might cause trouble."
