Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3632: So You Sold Me Out?

The Second Elder of the Ji family did not know why she had such a strong sense of oppression at such a young age. It was so oppressive that he could not breathe. He could only hold the edge of the cup with one hand and say, “I investigated it the day before yesterday. There are many forces involved in this matter. The 9 and 15 that I arranged for you previously were also instigated by someone to take your life when you were unprepared…”

He sighed and looked straight into the girl’s eyes before saying sincerely, “It’s my fault this time. I almost harmed you.”

Qiao Nian did not respond. She took a sip of water to moisten her throat and did not comment on it.

“What are you going to do about it?”

Her relationship with the Second Elder was different from her relationship with Zhong Yiliu and Feng Yu. Even if the other party was older and was an elder, it was impossible for him to receive the treatment of Feng Yu and Zhong Yiliu from her.

Just because he said he was sorry didn’t mean she would forgive him.

There was no such a good thing in this world.

Qiao Nian’s question was direct, causing the Second Elder to be slightly stunned. For a moment, he could not figure out what she was thinking. He hesitated and said slowly, “We’ve all discussed it. The temporary outcome is that too many forces are involved, so it’s not appropriate for us to fuss over every one of them. The best way is to capture one and punish them severely. Kill one to deter the others!”

He paused and looked at Qiao Nian. “Of course, that depends on you. Miss Qiao is the victim of this matter. We respect your thoughts.”

Qiao Nian had saved the Ji family’s face this time. Logically speaking, he had to give her enough face.

Qiao Nian gently knocked on the table with a finger. It was as if she was knocking on Second Elder’s heart. He felt inexplicably uneasy.

He waited restlessly for a long time.

Then, he heard the girl ask him.

“Which force are you going to punish severely?”

“Three Nine Gate.” He told her the answer he had already discussed.

Qiao Nian remained silent. It was as if she was not surprised that he would bring up the question. However, she did not stop tapping on the table, making the Second Elder even more confused about her thoughts.

“Miss Qiao, Number 15 is from Three Nine Gate. We decided to attack them because of this. Before you came out, Three Nine Gate even stopped us from picking you up at Mingshui Mansion. Therefore, overall, it’s reasonable for us to deal with them and it’s the least likely option for us to be criticized about.”

Qiao Nian’s tapping on the table paused for a second. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at him with her dark eyes before directly asking, “What about the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? How do you plan to deal with them?”

The Second Elder was restless from the questions. As if she had poked at a secret, he avoided eye contact. “President Simon came to me the next day to apologize. Then, everyone discussed some collaborative projects. What the few of us old fellows are saying is… there are many forces involved this time. He’s only one of them. Since his attitude is good and he took the initiative to apologize, why don’t…”

Qiao Nian smiled. She leaned back in her chair and chuckled. Her gaze seemed to see through him, making the Second Elder unable to raise his head. “So you sold me out.”

The Second Elder blushed and frowned nervously. “Miss Qiao, that’s not what we meant.”

Qiao Nian interrupted him. “How much did you sell me out for?”

The Second Elder choked and stopped talking.

Qiao Nian nodded and propped her chin before impolitely saying, “Who gave you the courage to think you can sell me out? Do you think I should still cooperate and agree to your decision?”
