Chapter 2993  I Can"t Help With This

Joseph heard him this time.

He did not b.u.t.ton his jacket and cufflinks as he walked to a corner with a serious expression and said, "I"m sorry, Young Master Nie. I can"t help you with this."

Qiao Nian?

She was not someone he dared to provoke!

The tragedy of the Yu Family was still fresh in his mind. They had yet to catch their breath and had almost fallen out of the circle of the reclusive families.

How could he dare to follow Yu Qingliu"s footsteps and provoke Qiao Nian?

"What"s wrong with Qiao Nian?" Nie Qixing"s breathing froze for a moment, then he put on his elegant mask and asked.

"How should I explain this to you?" Joseph did not know how to explain.

Nie Qixing said good-naturedly, "It"s okay. Just say it."

John briefly told him what had happened to the Yu family. "By right, Young Master Nie, since you came to me, I shouldn"t refuse to help you. But I really can"t afford to offend this person!

"If you want to help your friend, you can ask the Empress for help. It shouldn"t be a problem for her, right?"

Nie Qixing could hear the uncertainty in his last sentence.

Unable to maintain his hypocritical mask, he hurriedly hung up.

Joseph put down his phone and called the butler back. "There"s no need to change the itinerary."

"You"re not changing it?" The butler was a little surprised. "Didn"t you just say…"

"I"m not going." Joseph took off his suit and loosened the tie. He breathed a sigh of relief, almost as if he had survived a disaster.

He was glad he had asked before leaving. Otherwise, he wouldn"t even be able to bear the consequences. He might even implicate his entire family.

Joseph casually threw his loosened tie on the sofa and spoke to the butler. "I won"t see anyone today."

He came up with an excuse after a moment.

"Just say that I"m sick and have a high fever. I won"t be seeing guests for the time being."

Although the butler did not understand why he had made such an arrangement, he still bowed respectfully. "Yes, Sir."

"Also…" Joseph raised his hand and looked at him with a solemn expression. "Inform the rest of the royal family not to meddle in other people"s business for the next few days! No matter who comes looking for them, they"re not allowed to interfere! If anyone interferes, don"t blame me for being ruthless!"

The butler lowered his head even more. "Okay, I"ll immediately inform them."

"Go on." Joseph waved his hand. His voice was tired.

The butler quickly went to settle some matters.

Joseph watched him leave. His tense nerves were relieved for a moment. At least he was not as frightened and uncomfortable as before.

He did not dare to let his guard down.

He was afraid this storm would implicate the royal family and drag them into the abyss.

Joseph called the chauffeur over and gave him a few simple instructions. Then, he took his coat and hurriedly set off to find someone.

Zhang Yin had stopped Qiao Nian at the intersection at three in the afternoon and forcefully brought her to Nie Qixing"s private clubhouse.

Night fell outside in the blink of an eye. The sky was about to turn dark.

Three hours had pa.s.sed.

Nie Qixing still had no intention of coming to the rescue.

In the private room. Zhang Yin still had a trace of hope at the beginning, but as time pa.s.sed, he became more and more anxious and impatient.

He finally could not resist the torture. With red eyes, he said agitatedly to the person looking at him, "I want my cell phone! Give me my cell phone!"
