“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 someone 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 me about…
“The chauffeur greeted me as soon as he saw me. He said that you had something urgent to attend to and couldn’t come. 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 something was wrong back then. I asked him a few questions, but he answered them flawlessly.
“He even offered to let me 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 moment 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 time since he had been played like a monkey.
“l came over half an hour ago, but I encountered the same 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. Someone deliberately set it up to stall for time!”
Ji Ziyin had already regained her senses and calmed 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 me to come 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, come back first. I’ll settle the score with her immediately!’
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 men 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 something with Elder Xue, you can inform him first. We’ll go in and ask if Elder Xue has time 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 something to discuss with him.”
With his status, the Conservatives did not dare to disrespect him. Hence, the leader immediately said, “Please wait here. I’ll go in and ask Elder Xue..’!
