Qiao Nian hid behind a tree and watched as everyone in the Punishment Hall was called away.
She deftly jumped down from the tree branch and knelt on one knee, then propped herself up with her palms and cleaned herself of the fallen leaves before walking elegantly towards the Punishment Hall.
The last sentence of the Morse code that Ji Qing left behind mentioned that she had 'placed the item' somewhere—the Ji family's Punishment Hall!
Although Qiao Nian did not know what she hid there, Ji Qing left this clue encrypted.
She speculated that this "thing" was related to her mother's death.
Therefore, she had to get this 'thing'.
However, this matter was as Guan Yan said. It was too dangerous and involved too many people. She could not involve Ye Wangchuan and Feng Yu.
As for her and the Ji family…
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes, which were quite cold.
She had already fallen out with the Ji family.
