"…yes."
Shadow only thought she was abnormal, but she had to obey orders.
“There’s more.” Sai Lan called to the person who was about to leave.
Shadow had no choice but to stop and stood back on the spot with his head bowed, waiting for her to give the order.
He only heard Sailan's cold voice saying: "She gave me such a big gift, and it can't be justified if I don't repay her. Go and spread the news, tell her the information about the last potion, I want..."
Shadow listened quietly, then quickly raised his head and looked over with complicated eyes. He felt that the woman in front of him was even crazier than the original queen.
The Queen thought about Zhai Xicheng until her death, and her human feelings were still there.
The woman in front of her is so beautiful, luxurious and elegant, but she seems to have lost all the emotions that a human being should have, leaving only greed, desire and ambition.
"What are you looking at?" Sai Lan looked at him calmly.
Shadow quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Miss."
Sa Lan didn't care about the complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and reminded him coldly: "Remember, I am the only one who has the ability to avenge you."
"yes."
Shadow's heart flag wavered, and he immediately gathered his mind, no longer caring about other people's grudges, straightened his face again, and returned to a serious look.
Sa Lan waved her hand, seeing him thinking about Nie Qingru who was related to him, and then thinking about Qiao Nian who had planned to make her fall into trouble. She suppressed the surging emotions in her eyes and said in disgust: "Go down."
"yes."
Shadow turned around and walked away quickly.

On the night of the incident, Qiao Nian received the information about the last medicine from Guan Yan.
She made a phone call. “Where did you find the news?”
“Ah. That.”
It seemed that Guan Yan was still outside. Qiao Nian heard noise coming from the other side. After a while, the noise disappeared, and Guan Yan's voice came from the receiver along with the sound of footsteps.
“On the dark web.”
She asked again: "What's wrong?"
“There has been no news on the black Internet, why did news suddenly appear?” Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and looked at his rotating wrist, the white light shining on it gave it a bright moonlight color.
Guan Yan said doubtfully: "It sounds strange to me. After you told me, I paid attention to this thing through various channels. There was no news at first, and I was worried that you were anxious. Who knew that a friend would give it to me in the evening? He sent me a screenshot and asked me if I was looking for this thing, saying that the transaction information was posted on the dark web. I was thinking about what a coincidence it was. I wouldn’t be surprised if I heard about it from other channels, but it happened to be dark. Net, it’s like they’re waiting for us to know.”
“Sun, are you still going?” Guan Yan asked.
Qiao Nian looked at the busy night scene outside and said without thinking, "Go, why not?"
Guan Yan hesitated: "Didn't you guess that this was a trap?"
"Well, I guessed it." The girl replied quietly in a cool voice: "I called you just to make sure. Now I am sure it is a trap."
“Then you still...”
"So what?" Qiao Nian quickly interrupted her, looking away from the night scene, turning around and walking towards the house like a shooting star: "What they played for me was a conspiracy. If I want that thing, I have to go to the scene. Take it. If I can’t get it, it’s because I don’t have the ability.”
Guan Yan thought about it and said, "You can go, but you have to take someone with you."
Qiao Nian had already picked up the peaked cap on the table and twirled it between his fingers, chuckling carelessly. (End of chapter)
