Chapter 3169: Nie Qingru Is Worried

After a few sunny days in Country M, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the evening. They quickly covered the sky, with lightning flas.h.i.+ng and thunder rumbling in the thick clouds.

At night, it rained heavily.

The rain washed over the world outside the hotel, dividing the bright lights inside and the rain outside into two different worlds.

“Empress, the Nie family head is here.” A bodyguard in black quietly walked to the French window and carefully reported.

The old woman with her back facing him stood facing the huge gla.s.s window and looked at the scenery below. Her well-maintained face was expressionless and silent.

In front of her, the usually prosperous night scenery of the city seemed especially cold tonight because of the heavy rain. She could only see the hazy street lamps.

The bodyguard did not know how to react as he saw her standing in front of the floor-to- ceiling window as if her soul had left her body.

Then, he mustered his courage and called out softly, “Empress, the Nie family head is here.”

Nie Qingru suddenly turned around, brushed past him, and walked towards the living room. “Let him in.”

Although the bodyguard was shocked, he did not dare to be upset. He quickly went out to look for someone.

After a while, Nie Tao followed him in.

Nie Qingru was not staying in the reclusive families’ villa this time. Instead, she booked the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel.

The fireplace was burning with charcoal, and the surroundings emitted a warm temperature. It was like the feeling of the brightly lit lights in the suite.

Nie Tao stepped on the soft carpet and quickly approached the woman sitting on the sofa. He noticed she did not look good.

Before he spoke, Nie Qingru raised her hand and instructed him, “Sit.”

Nie Tao could not say anything and sat on the sofa opposite her.

At this moment, Nie Qingru’s subordinate brought two cups of hot coffee and put them on the table. Then, he stood up, tiptoed out, and closed the door.

Now, only Nie Qingru and Nie Tao were left in the huge suite.

Nie Qingru picked up her coffee, elegantly took a sip, then went straight to the point. “Something happened to Qixing. He’s being held hostage in Continent F.”

Nie Tao had roughly guessed that Nie Qingru called for him because of Nie Qixing. Upon hearing that something had happened in Continent F…

His reaction was huge. He immediately frowned and did not even touch his coffee. He sat up straight and asked Nie Qingru, “Why did he go to Continent F?”

“He was set up. He was informed that a batch of goods had arrived in Continent F. To check the goods, he personally went to Continent F and was ambushed,” Nie Qingru said casually.

Nie Tao sneered. “I’ve always been in charge of Continent F’s business. Why didn’t I know that he was going to pick up the goods?”

Nie Qixing went to Continent F to steal his business. In the end, he was unlucky and was scammed… Now, she came to look for him?

She did not think that he would care, did she?

Of course, Nie Qingru heard the undisguised anger and dissatisfaction in his tone. She knew Nie Qixing was in the wrong this time.

It was a good thing Nie Qixing was ambitious, but he would only be called stupid if he did not have the strength to support his ambition!

Nie Qingru did not beat around the bush. “I need your people in Continent F to help him.”

Nie Tao wasn’t surprised she would ask him to save Nie Qixing, but he did plan on cooperating. “Qixing is my biological brother. It’s not that I don’t want to care about him, but the Nie family has been operating in Continent F for decades. I can’t destroy it for him alone. Besides, we have our own plans for Continent F.”
