Chapter 3285: Fortunately, You Only Targeted Master Cheng

Nie Qixing’s heart skipped a beat, but he managed to stay calm. He looked into her eyes and said, “I don’t know.”
“Empress, Young Master Qi hasn’t recovered yet.” Shadow tried his best to stop Nie Qingru with a pleading tone.
However, how could Nie Qingru listen to him in her anger? She immediately shook off his hand and ordered, “Move!”
Shadow saw she was really angered. He nervously let her go.
Nie Qingru wasn’t so patient. The moment he moved aside, she quickly walked to Nie Qixing. She was so angry that she laughed. “If you don’t know why I called for you, do you know what happened at the hotel where the delegations are staying?”
Nie Qixing’s guess was right.
He saw Shadow shaking his head as a silent hint.
He pretended not to see it and forced himself to say, “I don’t know. What happened at the hotel?”
Nie Qingru narrowed her eyes. Her sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through him. She said word by word, “Don’t you know that Master Cheng was stabbed in public and the perpetrator ran away?”
Nie Qixing’s heart beat like a drum. He grabbed the wheelchair with a surprised expression. “What? Master Cheng was stabbed?”
Then, he pursed his lips and looked at Nie Qingru sincerely. “… I really didn’t know about this.”
Shadow did not dare to look at Nie Qingru’s face. He could only look at Nie Qixing with anxiety and disappointment.
Why was Young Master Qi so muddle-headed?
Since the Empress had urgently called him over, how could she not guess he was the one behind it!
He might as well admit it straightforwardly. Perhaps the Empress would not be so angry and… disappointed.
However, he thought he was smart and played dumb under such circumstances.
Wasn’t this… clearly treating the Empress as a fool?
Nie Qingru took a deep breath, and the cold air poured into her lungs. Under the stimulation of extreme anger and disappointment, she began to feel light-headed. Her old migraine acted up again, and it became difficult for her to breathe.
She simply sat back down and did not even look at the person in the wheelchair.
“Do you think admitting to it matters?”
Nie Qixing opened his mouth but did not say a thing.
Nie Qingru snorted. “I’ve already cleaned up your mess. As long as she can’t find any evidence, she probably… won’t do anything to you.”
Actually, even though she said this, she did not have much confidence.
Qiao Nian had always been generous.
She had also seen how rebellious the other party was. Logically speaking, Qiao Nian wouldn’t cause trouble if she couldn’t find evidence.
However, Nie Qingru also knew that Qiao Nian didn’t do things according to logic all the time.
What if she didn’t play by the rules this time…
Nie Qingru could only tell herself not to think negatively. She straightened her shawl and said lightly, “Fortunately, you only targeted Master Cheng.
“Master Cheng can’t even be considered her teacher. Naturally, he can’t compare to the Jiang Weishang you targeted last time… However, you caused too much trouble this time. It’s fine if Master Cheng doesn’t die. If he does die… Even if she doesn’t pursue this matter, the Ninth Branch will probably pursue it.”
Qiao Nian was already difficult enough to deal with, but Nie Qixing still wanted to provoke Ye Wangchuan.
Nie Qingru did not know what to say to him.
Shadow quickly changed the topic. “But Empress, other than sending Master Cheng to the hospital for emergency treatment, there’s no reaction from them. This is too illogical!”
It was mainly because it didn’t match Qiao Nian’s personality.
