2043 Your Sister Nian Is Not From the Independent Continent, But She Can’t Be Underestimated
“That’s right. She’s just a newcomer. Our Shen Family can choose another force as our backer. Why should we follow a newcomer?”

“Even if we can’t keep up with the three big families, we shouldn’t have to rely on a newcomer who’s even weaker than us, right?”

Everyone discussed animatedly. It was obvious that they were highly dissatisfied with Shen Qingfeng’s decision.

Old Lady Shen coughed and used the walking stick to thump on the ground. The walking stick hit the ground with a soft sound.

The old lady’s dignity was still there.

The others didn’t dare to make a sound.

However, they were extremely unhappy. Everyone’s faces were tense, and their expressions revealed confusion and doubt…

Old Madam Shen ignored them and looked at her eldest grandson with a pair of hale and hearty eyes. “I’ve heard of this girl. She doesn’t seem to be from the Independent Continent?”

When the Old Madam said this, everyone’s expression changed.

Father and Mother Shen couldn’t help but frown. They wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, the old lady was present, so they didn’t dare to disobey her. Everyone held back their anger and sat obediently. No one dared to chatter like before.

Shen Qingfeng didn’t avoid Old Lady Shen’s kind but sharp gaze. He went up to her and admitted frankly, “She’s not from the Independent Continent.”

“She’s not from the Independent Continent, but you want the Shen Family to follow her? Do you know what this means?” Old Madam Shen wasn’t angry. Instead, her words were sharp. “A person’s strength is limited, especially in a place like the Independent Continent. Not everyone is like your dean, Feng Yu. Even Feng Yu had the support of Old Master Nan back then to reach this point.”

“I know.” Old Lady Shen’s dignified aura didn’t suppress Shen Qingfeng. Instead, he said clearly, “Her future won’t be lower than our dean’s. I believe she has the ability.”
“What’s the reason?” Old Lady Shen sat there dignifiedly, her gaze earnestly fixed on him, calmly asking.

Shen Qingfeng smiled. He didn’t have Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and the other’s noble and ostentatious aura. Reserved and gentle, he said to the old lady, “Today, one of our team members was taken away by the Ji family. It was Ji Xiao. We bumped into him in the hotel as we were looking for him. In the end, she brought that team member back unscathed.”

Old Madam Shen had interacted with Ji Xiao before and knew his personality better than anyone.

Ji Xiao was a petty and ruthless person.

Whoever offended him, he would definitely think of ways to take revenge.

Moreover, Ji Xiao was used to being domineering in the Independent Continent with the support of the Ji family. He was ostentatious and resolved things on the spot.

As long as the other party didn’t have anything that made him afraid, he was like a poisonous snake and would definitely bite them on the spot!

“And?”

What Shen Qingfeng said had already tempted Old Madam Shen.

Then, Shen Qingfeng talked about how Qiao Nian had hacked the Intercontinental Hotel network in front of them, and how she tracked down Xu Yi’s location…

He said these two things in a row, but they weren’t what moved Old Lady Shen the most.

Until Shen Qingfeng inadvertently mentioned another detail.

“She also has friends from Bright Gate. In addition, I saw a red software on her computer. She used that software when she hacked into the Intercontinental Hotel system… Her software…”
