Chapter 3233: Actually, You’re Related to Her
Editor: Atlas Studios
The sanatorium’s lawn was well-trimmed.
Shadow walked to the corner and answered the call. “Speak.”
The front desk person finally got him. She hurriedly told him about the situation and then softly asked, “Manager, can we check in for the guests?”
Shadow’s temples bulged after hearing this. He did not say anything for a long time.
“Manager?” Because Qiao Nian and the others were not far away, the front desk did not dare to expose the people they had contacted outside the hotel.
Shadow took a deep breath. “Do it. I’ll take care of the rest.”
The front desk person was more than happy to oblige and immediately agreed. “Okay, okay.”
The call ended.
Shadow listened to the busy tone and kept his phone. He then walked back with heavy eyes.
Nie Qixing was still the same as when he left. His eye was as dull as a dead person’s, without any luster.
Seeing him like this, Shadow pondered briefly before suddenly saying, “Young Master Qi, Qiao Nian is in Continent M.”
Then, he added, “She’s checking in at a hotel right now.”
She actually dared to come!!!
The man in the wheelchair seemed to have received a huge shock. His eyes widened as he grabbed the armrest tightly and began to pant heavily.
He looked overstimulated.
Shadow resisted the urge to help him and clenched his fists. Looking down at him struggling and in pain, he deliberately said, “She came to the weapons exhibition as a delegate from Beijing. You’re an outstanding scientist. Don’t you want to compete with her?”
Nie Qixing’s facial muscles trembled violently, and his expression turned ferocious and painful.
Shadow tried to persuade him bit by bit. “The Empress has given you a chance this time. If you continue to be depressed like this, it will only make Qiao Nian happy. Don’t you want to… stand up again?”
“Stop it.” Nie Qixing let out a hoarse roar. His voice was so deep that it sounded like a beast’s. He did not sound like a normal person at all.
Shadow was secretly happy that he finally spoke. He knew that he had done the right thing. He did not listen to Nie Qixing and instead continued. “Young Master Qi, she’s actually a relative of yours.”
Nie Qixing recalled the memory of his eye being gouged out and his leg being broken. The entire world was dyed red.
It was not until Shadow mentioned that Qiao Nian was related to him that he looked up in disbelief.
Qiao Nian was related to him?
What did that mean?
How could they… be related?
“She’s the Empress’s granddaughter.” Shadow saw his confused expression and explained, “Strictly speaking, you two are very close by blood. She should even call you granduncle.”
Nie Qixing opened his mouth slightly, and he squeezed out after some time, “Does she know?”
This time, his voice was slightly better than before. At the very least, it was not as hoarse. However, it was broken and unpleasant.
Shadow returned his gaze and answered his question directly. “Qiao Nian knew about it a long time ago.”
If she knew that they were related, why would she do this?!
Nie Qixing’s anger reached its peak. He leaned forward and spat a mouthful of black blood.
