The girl was not suppressed by his aura at all. It was rare for someone to meet his eyes like this.
“I’m here to make a deal, not to threaten anyone. But business has to be done in person, don’t you agree?”
Quentin looked at her deeply and then suddenly retracted his gaze. He took the piece of paper from her and started reading.
His expression turned solemn as he read the contents. He looked at the girl again, as if he was surprised that she could obtain such a thing.
“Did you check it yourself?”
Qiao Nian dragged a stool over and sat down. “Yes, I just got it not long ago.”
Quentin crumpled the paper into a ball. Then, he took out a lighter and lit it up. He threw the ashes into the copper plot at the side before saying, “l advise you not to continue investigating.”
Qiao Nian just watched as he burned the paper to ashes. Then, she arrogantly said, “1 came today to ask you something. Did she die because of this thing?”
Quentin closed the lid of the copper plot, tilted his head, and sized up her again as if he did not understand why she had to know the truth. “I told von. I
advise you not to continue investigating.
“Originally, I shouldn’t care if you investigate or not, but you and I have some history. Let me kindly remind you.
“Also, I’ll keep your secret. I won’t let a third person know that you have this knowledge.”
Ji Qings research was something that the reclusive families absolutely could not tolerate.
Once they knew that Qiao Nian got a hold of Ji Qings research, then… they would definitely target her.
Quentin looked at the girl in front of him and thought of what the butler had said.
He showed her a way out of this mess. “You should have guessed that she would definitely die when you saw this. She’s already dead. There’s no need for you to sacrifice your life for a dead person.”
She was already dead.
She was a dead person.
Huh?
Qiao Nian wanted to laugh. An unknown fire rose inside her as if it wanted to burn her heart, liver, spleen, and stomach.
Because Ji Qing was dead.
Because she was already dead.
Therefore, everyone thought that this matter was over.
No one needed to pay the price for killing her. No one needed to give Ji Qing or her an explanation!
Because Ji Qing was already dead!
In their eyes, how could the living live for the dead?
Qiao Nian heard herself calmly say, “What if I insist?”
What if she had to make those people pay?
A life for a life, wasn’t it?
Quentin frowned, thinking that she did not know what he was hinting at. The power behind this matter was too great, and she wanted to fight it alone. Even Ji Lingfeng could not resist it back then…
However, when he looked into the girl’s dark eyes, it was as if a ferocious beast was about to pounce out.
He retracted his gaze and curled his fingers. Taking a deep breath and letting it out, he frowned and slowly let go. Then, he lowered his eyes and asked, “What do you want to know?”
An hour later.
Qiao Nian walked out of the church.
There was a crowd on the street.
The moment she came out, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked over in unison.
The girl was no different from when she entered. She still looked the same, but when she saw so many people outside, she lowered the brim of her cap to hide the gloom in her eyes.
“Let’s go.”
She walked up to Daji and the others.
MO Xi greeted her. “Miss Qiao, Master Wang is waiting for you in the car.”
“Okay.” Qiao Nian asked where his car was parked and walked straight over. The door opened by itself before she could touch it..
