Chapter 4024: Chapter 4024: Sooner or Later, She’ll Be Reunited with Her Mother
Nie Qingru slowly opened her eyes.
Under his gaze, she said fiercely through clenched teeth, "Sooner or later, I’ll reunite her with her mother!"
Shadow instantly understood who she was talking about.
Who else could it be but Qiao Nian.
But given the circumstances, he couldn’t persuade her, so he remained silent.
"Let’s talk about it when we get back!"
Nie Qingru’s hand tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, the force causing the capillaries on the back of her hand to bulge, appearing sinister and terrifying... Her face maintained a calm expression, but inside, a storm raged: "Xicheng is still in her hands, and this impeachment needs to be resolved. Everything can be discussed once I return; as long as I’m around, I can think of a solution."
"Yes."
Shadow adjusted his grip on the steering wheel, pressed the accelerator, and started the car.
"Empress, where are we going back to?"
Nie Qingru had many residences in Continent M.
For convenience, she had acquired property near the Privy Council and often stayed in that house, so Shadow needed to ask where they were headed.
Nie Qingru’s eyes flickered, remembering the disgrace at the Privy Council and today’s impeachment meeting, feeling uneasy.
The frustration stuck in her chest was unsettling. All thanks to Qiao Nian!
She closed her eyes and said, "Back to the manor."
"Understood."
Shadow lowered his voice, trying not to disturb her rest, and immediately turned the car towards the manor palace located in the North Suburb.
**
Continent M had more than ten hours of time difference with the illegal zone.
The next morning.
Qiao Nian woke up to see the message sent from Continent M.
Luke probably changed his phone number again, and this time used a new number to send her a text.
The content of the message was extremely concise and clear.
Only twelve characters in total.
[Nie Qingru is no longer the empress of the reclusive family.]
It contained vast amounts of information.
Qiao Nian squinted, propping her elbow and sitting up, holding the phone in one hand and looking down at the line in the text, then found a number in her contacts to call.
"Hello?"
The connection was quick.
Soon, the robust voice of Zhong Yiliu came through.
He was probably in the laboratory; Qiao Nian heard a clinking sound of collisions in the background, followed by the footsteps of someone moving with the phone.
With a door closing sound.
After a while, Zhong Yiliu’s voice transmitted through the electricity again: "What time is it now? Let me see. Um... it’s only eight-thirty in the morning over there. You’re up so early? Did something happen?" It’s uncharacteristic!
"I’m heading back to Beijing this morning." Qiao Nian preferred late at night when it’s quiet to do her accumulated work, like programming, composing music, or using the computer to conduct simulation experiments in the lab.
So she usually got up quite late in the morning.
She didn’t tangle with Zhong Yiliu on these small matters, and went straight to the point: "Are you aware of yesterday’s situation at the Privy Council?"
"Ah, you mean that." Zhong Yiliu’s attention was drawn.
He told Qiao Nian, "You received the news? I was about to call you later to tell you this good news."
"A friend told me." Qiao Nian vaguely mentioned and didn’t reveal Luke’s identity.
"I see." Zhong Yiliu assumed it was a regular friend from the Privy Council she knew, then straightforwardly relayed some gossip he heard to Qiao Nian.
The Pharmacy Association in Continent M seemed insignificant, but its network of connections was extremely complex, consisting of all sorts of people.
Including internal people from the reclusive family who were friendly with the Pharmacy Association.
Yesterday, the Privy Council had such big news, and even if the reclusive family wanted to hide this explosive information, they couldn’t stop so many people’s mouths.
