3012 Tricked!

Nie Qixing was furious but looked calm on the surface. He took a deep breath and said, "I"ll cooperate with you. You don"t have to do that. I just want to ask, what do you mean by this? Do you know that you"ve broken the law? What you"re doing now is trespa.s.sing."

"Compared to you, don"t our actions pale in comparison?" The smiling Mo Xi was easy to talk to.

He pushed the gla.s.ses up his nose bridge, looking like a refined sc.u.m.

"Don"t worry. We"re not here to arrest you or beat you up. We don"t plan to force a confession either. We just want to find something. Professor Nie has such a good reputation. My colleagues say you"re gentle and hospitable. Just treat us as guests. Don"t worry about us."

"Hehe." Nie Qixing gave a fake smile. "I"m afraid my small place can"t entertain friends like you."

Mo Xi patted his shoulder. "It"s alright. We"ll just make do with the small show of hospitality. We"re not picky."

Next, he turned to Guan Yan and Ji Lin and said, "Everyone heard it. Professor Nie can"t handle hosting all of us. Let"s be more conscious and find ourselves something to drink."

Guan Yan leaned against the door, her fiery red lips flamboyant. "Forget it. I don"t dare to drink this sc.u.m"s water. I"m afraid I"ll get a stomachache."

Mo Xi knew nothing good came out of this lady"s mouth. He touched his nose and looked at Ji Lin.

Unexpectedly, he had the same cold att.i.tude. "I"m not thirsty."

Mo Xi had no choice but to look at Qiao Nian. "Miss Qiao, what do you think?"

Qiao Nian could not be bothered to argue with Nie Qixing. She walked straight in, pulled up her cap, and said, "Search."

"Work, work," Guan Yan immediately replied.

Daji"s people in Country M followed her closely and went to work.

Not to be outdone, Ji Lin ordered, "Let"s work too."

The people from Bright Gate also began to rummage through the living room. Nie Qingru"s way of protecting Nie Qixing was to hide him perfectly and not be noticed by anyone. To achieve this goal, he did not have bodyguards protecting him. Nie Qixing also cared about his reputation. He was rich, but he did not live in a single villa. Instead, he lived in a high-cla.s.s apartment.

The place"s security guards had long been controlled by Guan Yan and her men. With so many people around, he really could not control the chaotic scene.

He knew there was no way he could stop her by force. Instead, he stared at the girl with a plan in mind. "What exactly are you looking for?"

Qiao Nian was wearing all black and a baseball cap today. She exuded a murderous aura from head to toe. From afar, she did not look like someone to be trifled with.

She lifted her baseball cap. Her brows were not as relaxed as when they first met. It was rare to see a serious expression on her face. "I"m looking for someone."

"Huh?" Nie Qixing was stunned for a moment before frowning. "I"m the only one here."

Qiao Nian didn"t explain.

She had already barged in.

She walked straight into one of the open bedrooms as if she knew where he had hidden the things. Her sharp gaze swept the entire room and finally landed on the slightly ajar drawer.

She walked in that direction...

Nie Qixing instantly understood what Qiao Nian wanted to do. He also knew what that inexplicable call was about.

She had planned all this long ago and just waited for him to jump into the trap! He had been tricked!
