Chapter 3441: Miss Qiao, Do You Need My Help?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhong Yiliu’s tone beca serious over the phone. “Alright, I understand. I’ll get them to arrange it imdiately and fly over.”
“Apologies for the trouble.” Qiao Nian stood there, looking bleak. She didn’t thank him, but she was full of gratitude inside.
Zhong Yiliu had known her for a long ti and was accustod to her personality.
He said hurriedly, “I happen to be going to the independent continent too. I’m not especially helping you. Let’s not talk right now. I’m going to prepare the dicine.”
Qiao Nian wouldn’t believe his comforting words. She only told herself to rember this favor and did not say many polite words. “I’ll get soone to pick you up when you arrive.”
“Okay.”
She heard Zhong Yiliu’s vague answer amid his energetic voice asking soone to accompany him to the storeroom to count the dicine.
Qiao Nian hung up the call and slowly put the phone down. She looked up and saw Ye Wangchuan looking in her direction; she didn’t know how long he had been looking at her.
She pulled down the brim of her cap with her cold white hand and walked towards him.
Realizing she had co out, Qin Si greeted her warmly, “Hey, Sister Qiao, why are you alone? Where’s brother-in-law?”
He was talking about Ji Nan.
He wasn’t sure if Qiao Nian heard him clearly or just did not care. In any case, she did not refute him. She put her hands in her pockets and said, “He’s taking care of the patient inside.”
Mo Dong directed the people from Bright Gate to keep an eye on the spies cleaning up the various factions. He happened to hear sothing and touched his earlobe; the scar on his face looked fierce and natural. “Eh, Emperor Ji is sick? The rumors circulating outside are true.”
Having just arrived in the independent continent and not yet heard about the rumors, Qin Si asked him curiously, “What rumors?”
“The people outside are saying that Emperor Ji’s injuries are very serious and his life is in danger. He won’t live for more than a few days… That’s why those people are stirring up trouble behind his back this ti. Otherwise, with Emperor Ji’s deterrence, these people wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant as to set up spies at the old residence’s entrance.”
Silence.
Qin Si knew Qiao Nian had hurriedly returned for Ji Lingfeng, so he fell silent when he heard what Mo Dong said. He didn’t argue and frowned.
“That bad?”
Mo Dong had always been straightforward. “It’s quite serious! Anyway, it’s been very hostile for the Ji family recently. There are internal strife in several of their halls. Many of their docks have also been taken away by the Chamber of Comrce Alliance…”
The independent continent was a place that relied on strength to make a living. It wasn’t that particular.
Without Ji Lingfeng, the Ji family was visibly weakening. If the other factions in the independent continent did not take this opportunity to divide their territory, what were they waiting for?
Mo Dong didn’t think there was anything wrong with them. The independent continent was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. But, this ti it involved the people Qiao Nian cared about.
He scratched his head and looked at the girl seriously but with warm eyes. “Miss Qiao, if you need help, just say the word and I’ll…”
“Let’s not worry about it for now.” Qiao Nian rubbed her swollen eyebrows, feeling a pressure on her chest. She was so annoyed that she didn’t want to think too much about it.
Rejecting his good intentions and getting into the car, she told Ye Wangchuan, “I want to go back and rest.”
“Sister Qiao is…” What’s wrong?
Qin Si did not finish.
He exchanged glances with Bo Jingxing and saw worry in his eyes.
Qiao Nian rarely revealed her emotions. They could tell she was in a bad mood this ti. It was obvious she had not had a good ti in the old residence.
However, Sister Qiao ca this ti for the Ji family. How did it end up like this?
