Chapter 3771: We Offended Qiao Nian, There’s No Way
However, things didn’t go as smoothly as expected.
The plane’s navigation system was like an iron wall that could not be penetrated from outside. He could only use the reclusive families’ satellite to locate the area where the plane was now.
Nine nautical miles above the high seas of the illegal zone.
Di Xicheng estimated that the plane would arrive in about two hours. If nothing went wrong, the landing spot would be the airport in the center of the illegal district.
He rubbed his chin, and the lenses reflected the sophisticated data on the computer. The corners of his mouth curled up silently. “Looks like they’re coming soon.”
Di Xicheng had never liked sitting back and doing nothing. He pursued excitement and enjoyed the feeling of gambling with his life.
Therefore, after confirming that the opponent he was waiting for was on the plane, he could not wait to give her a welcome gift.
He thought so and did so.
He took an old phone from the drawer and made a call.
“Two hours later, at the airport…”

Outside.
For the third time, Old Madam Xie was blocked by Nie Qingru’s secret guards. She suppressed humiliation and anger and returned to her room, slamming the door.
“Matriarch, are you alright? Is that Young Master Di… still unwilling to see you?” The people from the Xie family saw she was angry and guessed the outcome. They couldn’t help but ask her carefully.
Old Madam Xie walked to the bed and sat down. “Heh, what is this?! He’s not a Nie. I heard he’s just a relative of the Empress’s good friend. With such an identity, he still dares to put on airs before me. He really doesn’t know what he’s playing with!”
“The people from the reclusive families have always been arrogant.” The servants did not know how to comfort her, so they could only persuade her, “It’s fine if he doesn’t want to see us, but we don’t have to be on good terms with him.”
Old Madam Xie pressed her temples, her face twitching. “What do you know? Do you think I want to kiss someone’s cold ass at my age? And it’s the cold ass of a young brat. I’m doing this for the family’s sake.”
“Matriarch…”
“If Xinyao were still in the First Research Institute with Deputy Director Shi, I wouldn’t have come here to suffer. But as you can see, we’ve been having a hard time in the past two years. First, Xinyao offended her aunt and caused her to be unable to return home. She was even chased out of the First Research Institute. Then, Yun’er became at odds with me and wasn’t willing to help the family anymore. She was just short of drawing a clear line with us on the surface.”
“Matriarch.” The servants were worried.
Old Madam Xie continued, “The Xie family has relied on these connections to get to where we are now. Seeing that our two biggest backers are unwilling to help the family, I can only build a relationship with my old friends and see if I can rely on them.
“We offended Qiao Nian, and only the reclusive families can offset the fact that she’s on bad terms with us… That’s why I have to talk to Di Xicheng.”
Most of Old Madam Xie’s anger dissipated at this point. She comforted herself by saying, “Forget it, I’ll think of another way. In short, we have to seize this opportunity to perform well. It’s best to build a relationship with the reclusive families… and the Empress.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, have you found any clues about Michel?” The Xie family had a certain amount of connections in the illegal district. They were slightly more influential than the others and were not like headless flies.
