2041 You Said You Offended the Ji Family

After a long time.

Xue Zhu had already arrived at the lounge next door and was playing a mobile game.

There was some movement in the group.

She quickly exited the game and opened the group message.

Xu Yi had replied to her.

He was usually cold and quiet.

[Xu: I’m fine. I won’t be going in the afternoon. I’ll bring my mother to the hospital for a check-up. She’s a little frightened.]

Xue Zhu looked at the message for a long time and still didn’t know why Xu Yi’s mother was involved in this matter.

Could it be that the person who kidnapped Xu Yi had also kidnapped his mother?

Wasn’t this too wicked?!

Since she couldn’t get anything out of him, Xue Zhu decided to call Shen Qingfeng and ask.

She briefly explained what happened in the Level 8 laboratory in the morning and asked about Shen Qingfeng and Xu Yi. At the same time, she asked who was behind it.

Shen Qingfeng explained it to her in detail.

When it came to who did it, Shen Qingfeng was clearly afraid. He only said, “It’s better if you don’t know. Anyway, Qiao Nian has already resolved the matter. Xu Yi is fine.”

Before Xue Zhu could ask further, Shen Qingfeng returned to his usual refined and gentle self. “Help Qiao Nian apply for leave for this afternoon. I don’t think she’ll come.”

Although Xue Zhu was curious, she wasn’t the kind of person who would insist on getting to the bottom of things. Thus, she agreed readily. “Alright, I’ll tell Senior Brother Cao and the others.”

At this point, she thought of something and said regretfully, “I think Senior Brother Cao thinks highly of Qiao Nian. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a background in the research institute and isn’t from the Independent Continent. Sigh. Otherwise, she could have taken another step forward with her skills.”

What Xue Zhu said was also what Shen Qingfeng thought in the past. He felt that Qiao Nian was good in all aspects, but she lacked a background.

However, Shen Qingfeng didn’t have such thoughts now.

He only replied meaningfully, “It’s not that she doesn’t have a background. What if she… just keeps a low profile?”

Shen Qingfeng changed the topic before Xue Zhu could figure out what was going on. “Ask for leave for her in the afternoon. I’ll ask her if she’s coming tomorrow.”

Xue Zhu was more straightforward and didn’t like to probe further. As expected, she didn’t ask him what he meant. “Alright, I understand.”

…

At the Shen Family’s home.

Shen Qingfeng hung up and returned to the living room.

The Shen Family was only a small family in the Independent Continent.

However, the families that could establish themselves in the Independent Continent weren’t at the level of stinky fish and rotten prawns. Therefore, the Shen Family also had a four-story villa.

At this moment, all the members of the Shen Family were gathered.

Father Shen, Mother Shen, and Old Lady Shen were all there. Other than that, even a small family like the Shen Family had its own side branches.

Most of the relatives occupied the sofa in the living room, almost filling it up. Some juniors could only stand at the side, not even having a place to sit.

Seeing Shen Qingfeng walk back after the call, Father Shen was the first to speak. He said to his son, “Previously, you asked us to hurry to the Intercontinental Hotel and said that you offended the Ji family. What happened next?”

The Shen Family was small. Many families like them existed in the Independent Continent. Of course, they weren’t the kind of existence that couldn’t withstand a single blow.

However, in a place where superfamilies existed, they were like ants in front of the Ji, Xie, and Nan families. The other party could easily crush them to death.

That was why Old Lady Shen and Father Shen created such a huge scene when they received Shen Qingfeng’s news. They were afraid that provoking the Ji family would cause the entire family’s destruction.

Everyone in the Shen Family was looking at Shen Qingfeng, waiting for his answer.
