Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3656: It’s Too Late to Find Out About the Signal Now

In this way, their authority in the Privy Council had been greatly weakened.

This time, Elder Xue was also extremely dissatisfied with them. Now, if the Empress were to do something that would disappoint those old fellows from the Privy Council at this juncture…

No one knew how the Privy Council would deal with the Empress.

“I know what you’re thinking, but I won’t leave Xicheng alone.” Nie Qingru’s eyes darkened, and he shut up. “Do as I say!”

Shadow lowered his head. “Yes.”

Nie Qingru watched him leave again. This time, she took a deep breath to prevent losing control of her emotions.

She turned around and went upstairs rationally. She first contacted the people who were going to pick Xicheng up.

Nie Qingru’s thoughts were clear.

On the one hand, she wanted to pressure Beijing and threaten the people Qiao Nian cared about to hold that lunatic back. Then, she would get the others to rush to the sea area to save Xicheng as soon as possible.

Nie Qingru didn’t know what Qiao Nian wanted to do. This unknown anxiety of losing control of the situation made her every step upstairs especially heavy…

However, she knew that no matter how heavy her heart was, she could not fall.

She couldn’t accept something happening to Xicheng in the open sea and that it had to do with the Ji family!

At this moment, dark clouds pressed down on the high seas, and a drizzle fell.

Under the continuous drizzle, people felt frustrated.

On the deck, the busy crew complained about the rain and continued to worry about the possibility of thunderstorms at night.

None of them knew that they had become the center of the storm.

The two forces were about to clash fiercely in this sea area with them at the center!

After leaving the deck, Di Xicheng did not return to his room. Instead, he took a breather and smoked on the narrow walkway of the cabin.

The hair hanging down from his brow bone was wet and stuck to his face. His pale skin was very fragile, and his eyes hidden under his hair were almost evil.

His thin lips bit on the cigarette, but he did not smoke it. He held it in his mouth and leaned against the narrow edge of the walkway, looking like he was about to jump into the sea.

Such a strange person with such a strange temperament… made those who were originally interested in his appearance not dare to approach him.

He was leaning against the wall as if nothing had happened. Hearing a crew member coming out from the narrow aisle of the pilothouse below, he cursed in a low voice, “F*ck, I’m so unlucky today! It’s fine if it rains, it’s fine even if it’s a thunderstorm, but the satellite signal has failed. I don’t know when it will be restored. Otherwise, it’ll be terrible if we lose the navigation route in this damned weather!”

When the young man in the black hoodie heard this, he raised his eyes slightly and held the cigarette between two fingers. He looked at the person who walked out and asked in a low voice, “When did you lose the signal?”

The crew member did not expect someone to be smoking outside in this weather. Seeing that he was asking him, he did not hide anything. “About an hour or two ago.”

Then, the crew member asked him for a cigarette.

Di Xicheng gave him a stick out of respect.

The crew member lit it and puffed out a smoke ring. Then, he tilted his head with a relaxed expression and said, “I’m telling you, don’t tell the others. The captain doesn’t want us to say it for fear of causing panic among the guests.

“We’re in the open sea. This sea area is just like this. Small malfunctions from time to time are the norm. Usually, it’s not a big problem. This time, it’s just a signal cutoff. It might recover after a while.”

The crew member sighed. “I just feel that it’s too unlucky to encounter a signal malfunction in this damned weather, so I complained a little. Brother, forget it. Don’t be afraid…”

As he spoke, he patted the young man’s shoulder to comfort him, not noticing the slight change in the other party’s expression.
