"Nie Qingru has made her move."
Qiao Nian had just returned to her room from the villa where Ji Lin and the rest were staying.
Guan Yan entered the room a few minutes later.
"It looks like the Empress intends to protect Professor Nie."
Guan Yan's fiery red lips curled up frivolously, and her eyes were filled with disdain. "She's not willing to sacrifice his reputation. She wants Nie Qixing to escape unscathed. Tsk, she's delusional!"
Qiao Nian had just put down her bag and walked to the armchair. She pulled out the charging cable on the wall socket and took the laptop to the bed. Then, she calmly said, "She thinks she's powerful and there's nothing she can't do as long as she's willing. Other people are not important to her. Perhaps even an ant is more precious than a human life in her eyes. Why would she care if the business in the clubhouse is real and Nie Qixing participated in human trafficking?"
