Chapter 3314: Didn’t You Say You Were on the Way to the Privy Council?

Editor: Atlas Studios

Nie Qixing pictured the person.

He didn’t dare think about it, and he didn’t want to.

“Is it Qiao Nian?” He curled his fingers and tried to control his emotions as he looked up at Shadow and waited for an answer.

Shadow sighed silently and patted his shoulder. “Yes, it’s her.”

Nie Qixing’s heart trembled, and his expression turned ugly. Then, he smiled. “I knew it was Qiao Nian.”

The phone rang for more than 10 seconds before the other party gave up.

At this moment, Shadow’s phone rang again, as if the other party wanted him to answer immediately.

Shadow knew he couldn’t delay any longer, so he hurriedly pulled Nie Qixing’s hand away and said, “Remember not to run around. I’ll come and find you when I have time.”

Nie Qixing closed his eyes.

Shadow didn’t know if Nie Qixing did not have the strength to answer or if he just didn’t want to speak.

Shadow did not have the energy to find out what he was thinking and turned around. “I’m leaving.”

…

This hotel was really too dilapidated. Even the alley was inconspicuous.

Shadow hurried out of the hotel, took out a stack of money, and threw it to the lady boss at the bar counter. “Take care of the tenant up there.”

“Ah.” The lady boss’s eyes lit up when she saw the money. As she counted it, she said with a smile, “Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Shadow strode out of the hotel and accepted the call as he quickly walked to the alley’s entrance. “… Empress, what’s the matter?”

There were basically no surveillance cameras nearby. The few surveillance cameras around were at the intersection.

For the sake of caution, he did not drive the car in. Instead, he placed it by a green belt not far from away.

The tone of the person on the other end of the call was emotionless. “Where are you?”

Shadow felt uneasy, and his heart beat fast. “I’m…”

He had never lied to Nie Qingru before, but this time, he had no choice but to do so.

Shadow took a deep breath and tried to sound normal. “I’m on my way to the Privy Council.”

To prevent his lie from being exposed, he even quickened his pace…

At this moment, a woman’s cold voice came from the other end of the call. “Raise your head and look to the left!”

Shadow subconsciously followed the order and looked up to the left. What he saw was Nie Qingru’s usual car. The black vehicle was parked quietly less than 500 meters away from him.

The chauffeur was standing outside and looking in his direction.

Empress?!

At the same time, the back door opened.

The person sitting inside was holding her cell phone. Her cold gaze passed through the alley and landed steadily on him as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

Shadow’s back was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and his legs were like lead, unable to move.

Nie Qingru coldly asked, “What are you still standing there for?”

Shadow seemed to have woken up and hurried to her side.

…

The 500-meter distance was shortened in the blink of an eye. Shadow walked to the front of the luxury car. His lips were pale, and he knelt on one knee without a word.

“Empress.”

Nie Qingru glanced at him indifferently. “Didn’t you say you were on the way to the Privy Council? This path doesn’t seem to lead to the Privy Council, though?”

Shadow lowered his head and said nothing.

“Are you mute?”

Nie Qingru’s eyelids drooped slightly. There was no expression on her well-maintained face. She only lowered her eyelids and looked down at the person kneeling at her feet.

“You’re getting bolder.”
