The Empress’s villa.
Nie Qingru had been receiving endless messages since early in the morning.
“Empress, Qiao Nian fired at the hotel.”
“Empress, the Bright Gate people have arranged for a helicopter to land at the hotel.”
“Empress, I’ve investigated thoroughly. It was Master Cheng from Beijing who was suddenly stabbed outside the restroom. It’s unknown if he’s dead or alive.”
Every piece of news hit Nie Qingru’s heart like a drum. As more and more news came, her face turned more pale. She asked someone to find Nie Qixing.
During this time, she also waited for Qiao Nian and Beijing’s reaction.
However, from morning to noon, the hotel was extremely quiet.
She thought Qiao Nian would check the surveillance footage. She even specially sent someone to destroy the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersection and clean up all the clues that could be found to ensure that Qiao Nian wouldn’t be able to find anything even if she had extraordinary abilities.
Nie Qixing finally arrived when she was done.
He was still in the wheelchair and looked no different from usual. “Sis, you were looking for me?”
Shadow was standing behind the sofa where Nie Qingru was sitting. He had his head lowered and did not dare to speak.
Nie Qixing acted as if nothing had happened. He even took the initiative to ask the Empress why she was looking for him.
Anxiety brewed between his brows as he looked at Nie Qixing, then at Nie Qingru. He opened his mouth to remind Nie Qixing of something…
But it was too late.
The woman sitting elegantly on the sofa and arranging for her subordinates to destroy the evidence suddenly stood up and ran over. Without a word, she slapped him hard.
Slap!
Everyone in the villa heard the crisp sound.
Nie Qixing’s head was slapped to the left, and his ears buzzed. The huge impact even tore the corner of his lip, and the smell of rust immediately surged in his mouth…
The next second, he felt a stinging pain in his cheek. It quickly grew swollen and hot. He could feel the side of his face swelling without touching it with his hand.
“Empress!” Shadow finally reacted. He hurried over to stop her as Nie Qingru tried the second slap and begged, “Young Master Qi has just been saved from the gates of hell. His body has not recovered yet. Please calm down, don’t be angry.”
Shadow stopped her with all his might, but Nie Qingru’s face was ashen. She was furious. “If I had known earlier that he was like this, I would have let him die in Continent F. Why would I save him!”
Shadow had no choice but to beg her. “Calm down. Young Master Qi is still young, after all. It’s normal for him to be ignorant…”
These words hit Nie Qingru’s sore spot. Although she had no intention of hitting him anymore, her expression was not good. “He’s young? He’s already in his thirties. I don’t want to compare him to anyone, but how old is that Qiao Nian? She’s only 20. He can’t even compare to half of her!”
Nie Qixing paled when he heard that. He suddenly looked at Nie Qingru and grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair. “So, what did I do? Why are you so angry?”
Shadow did not expect him to add fuel to the fire. He quickly turned around and shouted at him, “Young Master Qi, stop talking!”
But it was too late.
Nie Qingru’s anger, which had finally subsided, was easily ignited. She turned around and stared at him with a mocking expression. “You don’t know what you’ve done?”
