Chapter 2904  Help Me Buy a Painting

She picked up her phone and sent a voice message.

"I"m done messing around with you.

"Check her background for me.

"Leonard has been looking for a famous painting to present to someone recently. I suspect the person he"s giving it to has an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p with Nie Qingru."

Slim Waist Control was on his computer. His cell phone was not with him.

Qiao Nian quickly saw his reply.

[Slim Waist Control: Why are you investigating this? Boss, don"t tell me that you plan to fight the Empress head-on.]

Guan Yan also replied.

Qiao Nian opened the voice message. The background was noisy; it sounded like she was outside. "Let me check. But Boss, you have to tell me what you want to do."

Qiao Nian was about to reply when she frowned.

She then typed a text message.

[Sun: I can"t let her threaten me every time.]

Qiao Nian leaned back with cold eyes as she recalled how that woman had used the brim of her large hat to cover her face and threatened her with those people in Beijing.

In her eyes, Old Master Jiang, Jiang Zongjin… even Elder Ye, Aunt Ye, and the others were all insignificant to her.

As long as they obstructed her or could be used by her, she would take their lives without hesitation.

Just like the incident with the Ji family"s branch behind the scenes!

But why?

Qiao Nian returned to her senses and looked at the group chat. Guan Yan and the others had already replied.

[Guan Yan: Let me investigate.]

[Slim Waist Control: Forget it, if the handsome guy doesn"t go to h.e.l.l, who will? I"ll do it! You have something to do outside, and I"m free. I can kill time.]

[Guan Yan: Alright, you do it.]

[Slim Waist Control: … Aren"t you going to f*cking persist for a while longer?]

[Slim Waist Control: I"ll do it, I"ll do it! F*ck, who asked me to be so handsome and kind? Remember to find me a resting place with good fengshui if I"m killed by that Empress.]

[Sun: Don"t worry, I"ll find you a place with mountains and rivers.]

Guan Yan"s merciless laughter immediately sounded in the small group.

Slim Waist Control flew into a rage out of humiliation and sent all kinds of emojis.

Qiao Nian did not continue playing. She turned off the chat software and closed her laptop.

Then, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and called Ye w.a.n.gchuan. "I"ve asked Jian Jin to look for him. You don"t have to look for him anymore. He should be at Lu Zhi"s place. If he"s unwilling to let him go, let"s leave it at that. He"ll come looking for me himself after some time."

Lu Zhi probably wanted to negotiate with her.

Qiao Nian wasn"t in a hurry.

In any case, Ji Lingfeng was safer with him.

The independent continent was too chaotic. It was better to let Ji Lingfeng stay in the illegal district to recuperate.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan was far away at the Dark Fort"s HQ in Continent F. Different from the independent continent, Continent F happened to be nighttime, and the sky was filled with stars.

He looked up at the starry sky and said in an infinitely gentle voice, "Don"t you worry about him staying at Lu Zhi"s place? Don"t you want me to help you get him back?"

As long as Qiao Nian said the word, he would go to the illegal district and bring Ji Lingfeng back for her.

Qiao Nian clicked her tongue and smiled. "No. Lu Zhi knows my bottom line. He won"t hurt Ji Lingfeng."

Ye w.a.n.gchuan raised his eyebrows. "G.o.ddess Qiao knows him so well."

Qiao Nian touched her earlobe and lowered her eyes. Then, she changed the topic. "Do me a favor."

"Huh?" The man"s low and mellow tone was like a feather brus.h.i.+ng past her ear. "What favor?"

Qiao Nian was rarely impatient. "Help me buy a painting."
