In the Privy Council.
Ji Ziyin dawdled and tried her best to stall for time. However, she was a newcomer and did not have much work assigned to her. She was mainly helping out with miscellaneous tasks.
The matter was quickly completed.
Ji Ziyin had no reason to delay any longer and could only follow the others out…
She had been reporting to the Privy Council every day for the past few days, unlike the other two newcomers who were nowhere to be seen.
The people in the Privy Council had a good impression of her.
As they walked out, someone spoke to her. “Little Ji, you’ve been here for so long. Do you know what’s wrong with Qiao Nian from your family? I’ve never seen her in the Privy Council.”
Ji Ziyin was worried about Luke and replied absent-mindedly, “l don’t know her very well.”
“Aren’t you from the same family?” asked a fatty with a kind face.
Ji Ziyin glanced in his direction and frowned imperceptibly, but she quickly relaxed. A troubled expression appeared on her oval face as if she had something difficult to say. She hesitated before saying, “She’s a loner.”
It was fairly clear what she was trying to say.
The people walking with her frowned and fell into deep thought. Unknowingly, their impression of Qiao Nian worsened.
No one said anything else and walked forward in silence.
At this moment, someone saw the people crowding the entrance and stopped.
He pointed over and said, “Look, why are there so many people outside!”
Ji Ziyin and the others looked in the direction he was pointing at and indeed saw many people gathered at the entrance.
“Why are they crowding the entrance? Don’t they know what this place is?” Someone frowned.
Someone snapped, “Where are the guards? Is no one handling this?”
“Why do I see the archbishop’s people over there? Let’s go and take a look.” Someone noticed that not only were the people outside blocking the entrance but also people they knew watching.
Someone took the lead, and the others followed one after another. They all wanted to see what was happening outside. M/hy was there such a huge commotion…
Ji Ziyin lagged at the back of the group.
She had never been interested in watching a show. After hesitating for a moment, she could not resist the temptation and followed them.
At the entrance of the Privy Council.
It was extremely lively at this moment.
Ji Ziyin followed the group and saw seven to eight men in black tied up in the middle of the crowd.
They were rolling on the ground, looking afraid.
Another person wearing a hospital gown was thrown on the ground like a sack.
Ji Ziyin did not know the others, but when she saw the man in the hospital gown clearly, her expression changed drastically, and she became nervous and uneasy.
“Isn’t that Luke?”
“They all seem to be from Elder Leo’s family.”
“What’s going on? Who tied up the members of Elder Leo’s family at the entrance of the Privy Council?”
The discussions around her confirmed that the man was indeed Luke.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her blood was frozen.. She stood there like a wooden stake, looking at the person she was afraid of seeing in the crowd…
