Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3999: Chapter 3999: Boss Lu Isn’t Completely Ignoring Sister Nian’s Feelings

So he kept pushing the limits, thinking she would never retaliate, that she would at most come to Tian Chen like now to say a few words.

Jian Jin realized Qiao Nian was serious, grasping her arm: "QIAO."

"Don’t talk yet." Qiao Nian’s fiery eyes glanced at her, struggling to control her temper, not very successfully.

Jian Jin fell silent.

She then looked at Lu Zhi again, her hand naturally hanging at her side: "I’ll leave the illegal zone the day after tomorrow to go back, and before then, give me an answer. Di Xicheng is in your hands, what conditions do you want from me... If he’s not in your hands... Lu Zhi, we’ll be enemies from now on."

"Aren’t we already?" Lu Zhi clearly didn’t want to say this, but his mouth betrayed him.

He stared intently at the girl in the office, the red veins visible in his eyes and the slightly bulging veins on the back of his hands revealing his unsettled mood.

Jian Jin had already covered her eyes, looking up at the sky in disbelief.

Qiao Nian returned a glance: "If you want us to be, we can be."

"Give me an answer soon." She threw these words down and left without looking back.

The glass door of the office opened and then closed again, leaving the large top-floor office overlooking the scenery of the illegal zone minus one person.

Yet the atmosphere was heavier than before.

Several executives felt endangered, shrinking like quails, fearing Lu Zhi’s attention.

Only Jian Jin remained calm in this high-pressure environment, speaking to Lu Zhi: "Hey, why did you talk to Qiao like that? You guys could have spoken nicely. You wanted to pursue Qiao before, Boss, how is that pursuing a girl?"

Several executives seemed to hear a shocking secret—Boss Lu wants to pursue Zhui Guang?

Does that mean Tian Chen and the Red Alliance will merge in the future?

The executives pictured the scenario, finding it discordant.

Tian Chen adheres to rules with distinct hierarchies, starkly different from the Red Alliance’s free-spirited management style, and Lu Zhi and Zhui Guang have different attitudes towards managing their subordinates.

In recent years, both parties maintained a friendly cooperative relationship, getting along fairly well.

If they were to come together... they couldn’t envision the scene.

No need for imagination.

Lu Zhi shattered the fantasy first: "Do we have room to maneuver?"

Jian Jin set aside her casual demeanor, her expression turning much serious, seriously saying to him: "As long as you want, there is!"

Lu Zhi crossed his hands on the desk, his expression calm, seemingly deep in thought.

Jian Jin didn’t rush him, waiting patiently for him to think it over.

Not sure how much time passed, long enough for the executives standing there receiving orders to almost lose their composure.

The man seated behind the large desk said slowly: "I know where Di Xicheng is; he’s not in my hands, I only provided him a hiding spot."

Jian Jin frowned, finally asking a question that had been on her mind: "Boss, why are you managing Di Xicheng?"

She thought Lu Zhi was doing it just to trouble Qiao Nian.

Who knew.

"Di Xicheng is Nie Qingru’s Achilles’ heel. She previously went to Continent M to snatch Nie Qingru’s belongings, pushing Nie Qingru’s tolerance to the limit. If she touches Di Xicheng again, Nie Qingru would go mad."

"I know someday she’ll completely break with Nie Qingru; but that time hasn’t come... As long as Nie Qingru remains empress of the reclusive family, she cannot act. If she does, she risks lifelong pursuit by the reclusive family."
