Chapter 3158: Young Master Qi Mentioned Something About a Batch of Goods in Continent F
“This…” The Filipino maid said awkwardly, “I don’t know either.”
Shadow guessed she didn’t know anything, so he did not make things difficult for her. He went back to his car parked by the roadside, took out his phone, and called Zhou Zheng.
The call was picked up instantly.
“Where are you?” The people from the reclusive families had always been strong, and Shadow was used to being tough around Nie Qingru.
Zhou Zheng’s heart thumped, and he did not dare to hide anything. “I-I’m home.”
“Where’s Young Master Qi?” Shadow was too lazy to beat around the bush. “He’s not with you?”
Zhou Zheng swallowed nervously. “Young Master Qi was with me at first, but he left after receiving a call. It seems like it was something urgent…”
Shadow was alert. “Urgent? Do you know where he went?”
Zhou Zheng tried hard to recall. “I think he mentioned something about a batch of goods in Continent F…”
Shadow’s face turned serious. His throat tightened and his voice was cold. “He went to Continent F?!”
Startled, Zhou Zheng stammered, “I-I’m not sure either. He only mentioned something about a batch of goods in Continent F. Young Master Qi did not mention anything else to me.”
Shadow did not look good. “I got it.”
Zhou Zheng was a little worried. “Did something happen to Young Master Qi?”
“No,” Shadow answered quickly, but he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. He frowned and remembered. “Did he do anything in private recently that I don’t know about?”
Zhou Zheng’s heart skipped a beat as he immediately remembered what had happened in Beijing.
However, Nie Qixing had warned him not to mention it to anyone. Zhou Zheng still had to rely on Nie Qixing’s guidance in the future, so he naturally did not dare to betray him.
Hence, he immediately denied it. “No, no, I suppose? I didn’t hear about Young Master Qi doing anything in private. Hasn’t he been busy with family matters recently? I usually don’t see him.”
Shadow hung up doubtfully.
He stayed in front of Nie Qixing’s house for a while and even called him three times, but his phone was switched off…
Continent F, goods, cell phone switched off… Shadow had to connect the three together. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
He hesitated as he looked at Nie Qingru’s cell phone number on his contact list. He wanted to call her to report the situation…
But he decided not to in the end.
Shadow’s eyes darkened as he recalled what the Empress had said on the day of her dispute with Nie Qixing. If Young Master Qi did something that disappointed the Empress again, the Empress would be very angry…
With this in mind, he might as well investigate it himself.
Shadow opened the door and entered the car. Then, he found a contact number from his contact list and made a call. “Find out where Young Master Qi went. If he’s gone to Continent F, arrange a plane for me immediately. I want to fly there immediately.”

Qiao Nian’s flight was at three in the afternoon. Night had already fallen when she arrived at Continent F.
Slim Waist Control had booked a first-cla.s.s seat for her. Knowing she did not like to get too close to strangers, he thoughtfully used a fake ident.i.ty to buy the tickets for the two seats beside her.
In fact, she was the only guest in that row, so Qiao Nian had a good rest on the plane.
The plane had already landed when she woke up.
With only a carry-on bag to take care of, she was the first to get off the plane and walk towards the lobby.
