Chapter 3376: Hurry Up and Investigate What’s Going On in the Independent Continent

Editor: Atlas Studios

Nie Qixing had been by Nie Qingru’s side since he was young, and Nie Qingru had always been very strict with him.

As time passed, he loved, respected, and feared Nie Qingru. He even developed an obsession with her, craving her acknowledgment.

Wasn’t Nie Qingru’s resistance to Qiao Nian also a form of recognition?

It wasn’t without reason that Nie Qixing was jealous and twisted.

The last trace of gentleness in Nie Qingru’s eyes disappeared. She looked at him coldly for a few seconds before questioning him emotionlessly, “So you still think I’m wrong?”

Shadow didn’t say “I don’t dare” this time. He felt conflicted and painful. He raised his head and looked at the woman sitting at the head of the table.

Originally, he had thousands of words he wanted to say to her.

However, when he looked at the other party’s old face and emotionless eyes, he swallowed them all back and only said, “I understand the Empress’s choice.”

He knew her better than anyone.

Understood the suffering she had gone through more than anyone.

So even now, he couldn’t blame her for making the wrong choice.

However, Nie Qixing still called him Uncle Ning, after all. He was really upset that he had died at such a young age.

Nie Qingru never looked back at her decision. Hearing him say that he understood, her expression softened. She picked up the black tea and took a sip before suddenly asking, “Have you found that woman?”

“Not yet.”

Shadow immediately replied, “That person seems to have disappeared. I can’t find her no matter what. Besides, Zhou Zheng is in Qiao Nian’s hands, so I can’t ask him…”

“Hmph.” Nie Qingru put down the teacup, almost spilling its contents. The corners of her mouth curled up mysteriously as she sneered. “She’s quite capable. She can still escape after causing such a disaster. Continue investigating!”

Even though she had personally chosen to give up on Nie Qixing, she had not forgotten the reason why she was forced to make this decision!

She couldn’t let those old men from the Privy Council have the upper hand. At the very least, she had to find someone to bear the responsibility this time.

The woman who caused the trouble was the best vent.

Although she knew that Nie Qixing had forcefully kept that woman by his side and that she had not voluntarily caused trouble… So what?

Nie Qingru’s long nails scraped across the table, making an unpleasant cracking sound.

Shadow understood her thoughts and immediately answered, “Yes, Empress.”

Nie Qingru quickly composed herself and asked him, “Have you investigated the independent continent? What’s going on with Ji Lingfeng?”

Shadow answered quickly, “Not yet. Our people are still investigating.”

“Okay.” Nie Qingru also knew that the situation in the independent continent was complicated, and it was even harder to interfere in the Ji family’s internal affairs. She wasn’t in a hurry and only urged, “Tell them to investigate faster. Don’t let that evil creature beat us to it this time!”

“Yes.”

After a short conversation r, Shadow left in a hurry.

Nie Qingru was left alone in the villa. The light dyed her eyebrows. Under the light, her already sharp and unreasonable eyebrows looked even more cold and gloomy.

Nie Qingru recalled the news she had just received in the afternoon.

The corners of her lips curled up into a cold arc before falling heavily again. She closed her eyes, and her face quickly regained its cold expression.

That evil creature’s way of doing things… was really becoming more and more like Ji Wusun!

According to her plan, the Zhou family could still delay her for a few days, but now it seemed they couldn’t delay her any longer.

“Useless thing!”

Nie Qingru was furious at the thought that Mr. Zhou was the one who provoked the evil spawn’s relatives in Rao City. Her brows furrowed tightly. Seeing Madam Zhou’s call, she was unwilling to answer it. She threw the cell phone aside and went back to her room.
