Chapter 2980  Someone Knocked On The Gun

Mo Xi saw that he was not brainless. At least, he was humbler than Mo Dong back then. He heaved a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder. "There"s no need. I think Master w.a.n.g wants you to pay more attention in the future."

Ji Lin looked up and was about to say he definitely would in the future.

Mo Xi stared at him and smiled maliciously. "It"s okay if you don"t want to listen. We have a mine in Continent F. I heard they are short in manpower."

Master w.a.n.g had never killed anyone, but he had made life a living h.e.l.l for people before, almost as if they returned from the dead.

For example, the mine in Continent F. That was a place people of Bright Gate and Dark Fort were afraid of being sent to when they made mistakes…

Ji Lin"s face turned green. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Don"t worry. You haven"t gone there yet. I won"t go before you!"

Although he did not admit defeat, he already knew what was going on.

Ji Lin knew Mo Xi was reminding him that he could only make this mistake once. If he made the same mistake again, Master w.a.n.g would probably throw him to Continent F to fend for himself.

Therefore, he was quite grateful to Mo Xi. He looked at him steadily and said, "No matter what, thank you."

Mo Xi saw that he understood and narrowed his eyes with a faint smile. "Don"t thank me. I didn"t help you this time."

Then, he solemnly said, "We all have to thank Miss Qiao. If not because Miss Qiao didn"t seem to want to pursue the matter, I think Master w.a.n.g would have killed us to liven things up for her."

His tone was half-joking, but Ji Lin felt a chill down his spine. He knew what he should do next time. "I"ll reinvestigate Nie Qixing!"

Qiao Nian had always wanted to investigate this Nie Qixing.

Ji Lin stayed in Country M for a long time and had deep connections there. He knew many people from all walks of life, including strange people.

These people were normally useless, but sometimes they could be surprisingly effective.

He wanted to see if he could dig out something!

Mo Xi also went with him.

"I"ll see what I can do."

Mid-afternoon.

Qiao Nian set off for the Pharmacy a.s.sociation.

She was stopped by a black luxury car at the intersection just as she walked out.

In a bad mood today, Qiao Nian pulled down the brim of her cap, crossed her hands, and coldly looked at the person who got out of the car.

Probably in his early forties, the man had s.h.i.+fty eyes and was fat. He wore a mismatched suit, and most of his belly was exposed.

He wiped his sweat as soon as he got out of the car.

Two burly men also came out of the car and stood silently beside him. They looked like thugs.

Zhang Yin approached Qiao Nian, put down his handkerchief, and sized her up. His small eyes lit up as if he was satisfied.

"Miss Qiao?" he asked.

Seeing that the girl did not immediately respond to him, he was not angry and continued kindly, "You might not know me, but it doesn"t matter. I know Miss Qiao. You"re from the independent continent, right? You work in the First Research Inst.i.tute. And you know Young Master Qi?"

A cold glint flashed across Qiao Nian"s eyes. She had wanted to deal with him directly but suddenly became interested. "Professor Nie?"

She enunciated the word "professor" flippantly as if she was mocking him.

Zhang Yin did not detect her mockery and thought he had successfully fooled her. His friendly expression disappeared, replaced by arrogance. "Miss Qiao, our Young Master Qi wants to see you. Why don"t you get in the car?"

He moved aside to make way and tilted his head fearlessly. "Please!"
