Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3333: That’s Not Someone to Be Provoked

Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that she was about to leave, Elder Xue panicked. “Qiao Nian, you can’t leave.”

The girl stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.

“My plane leaves at seven in the evening. If you have the ability, you can shoot it down. That way, I can stay.”

How arrogant!

Elder Xue was stunned. In the blink of an eye, the girl entered the elevator. As the doors were about to close, Elder Xue called out with an ugly expression, “Do you have to go against the reclusive families?”

He did not quite understand what Qiao Nian was thinking.

This matter had blown up so much that he had to mediate between the two parties. Why wouldn’t Qiao Nian agree?

Before the elevator doors closed, Qiao Nian finally looked him in the eye and said slowly, “Didn’t you tell her long ago that you wanted to deal with me together? Why did you come to me to talk about this?”

“How did you…” Elder Xue almost blurted out what was on his mind.

Fortunately, he realized it in time and endured it with a livid expression.

“Tsk.” The corners of the girl’s lips curled up as she looked into his eyes calmly. “I guessed.”

She didn’t know. She just said it casually.

But now, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.

Without hesitation, she took out the things from her pocket and bent down to place them on the ground at the elevator entrance. Then, she stood up again.

“I’ll return this to you.”

Elder Xue watched from afar as she placed something on the ground. Upon a closer look, he realized it was a seal.

The seal was exquisite—the family token he had given Qiao Nian previously.

When Elder Xue saw what Qiao Nian had placed on the ground, his expression changed slightly and became more and more complicated. Then, he said in a low voice, “You want to draw a line with me?”

The girl looked at him and casually said, “We have different paths, so we can’t work together.”

The elevator doors closed.

One of Elder Xue’s two bodyguards jogged over to pick up the jade seal and respectfully handed it to the green-robed elder. “Elder Xue.”

Elder Xue grabbed the jade seal with a complicated expression. The jade material felt cold in his hand, and he remained silent.

Instead, it was the bodyguard who looked at the closed elevator door and said, “Elder Xue, are we going to let her go just like that?”

“What else do you want to do?” The old man kept the jade seal and looked at him expressionlessly.

The bodyguard did not dare to meet his gaze and lowered his head. Then, he indignantly said, “I just feel that letting her go like this is too easy on her!”

When had their reclusive families ever suffered such a loss!

This girl was too arrogant.

She was just a girl from Beijing with no powerful background. How dare she speak like this to Elder Xue of the Privy Council?

“Didn’t she ask us to shoot…” The bodyguard was only halfway through his sentence.

Elder Xue’s gaze made him shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Although the bodyguard shut his mouth, his expression was still unconvinced. It was as if he really would do this if Elder Xue did not stop him.

Shooting down a plane seemed like a ridiculous suggestion, but, in fact, similar things had happened many times in the past few years.

It would just be concluded as an accident. No one would pursue the truth of the matter, and they would be buried in the river of time.

The bodyguard followed beside Elder Xue and knew very well about many such occurrences.

That was why he did not understand why Elder Xue would not do so this time.

“Do you think Bright Gate is a saint?”

Ye Wangchuan had always been cautious. The seas around Continent M had not been peaceful recently.

If they dared to make a move… He believed that Ye Wangchuan would definitely have prepared a backup plan and let them taste the bitter consequences.

“He’s not a man to be provoked.”
