2031 Sister Nian: I’ll Give You One Minute to Leave Ji Xiao’s heart was beating like a drum, but after all, a collateral branch could do well in the Ji family. He was not frightened. He immediately suppressed his doubts and did not show them on his face. He only said coldly, “Don’t scare me with the First Research Institute! “I’m good friends with his father. I just invited him over to chat. The First Research Institute doesn’t need to interfere.” Qiao Nian took out her phone and waved it in front of him. Then, she said lazily, “You can try.” Ji Xiao’s expression became unpredictable. He rolled his eyes at the girl as if he wanted to see if she could get the First Research Institute to come forward or if she was just bluffing. However, Qiao Nian was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down extremely low. The corners of her mouth curled up casually, and she exuded a calm and unruly aura. Her posture was unfathomable. In addition, she found out that Xu Yi was in the Intercontinental Hotel and clearly knew which room he was in. Ji Xiao did not believe that a girl who was not a local and had no background could do this. She must have someone helping her behind the scenes! However, he had not achieved his goal since he brought that guy over yesterday. He felt indignant. He stared at the girl with a venomous snake-like gaze and hesitated. Qiao Nian seemed to see through him. Her eyelashes covered her face as she said lazily, “The Ji family still doesn’t know that you took Xu Yi away, right?” As one of the three big families in the Independent Continent, the Ji family had become more and more powerful in recent years. They had long surpassed the other two families and become a unique existence. She had seen Ji Hongyuan and He Lin before. Both of them looked reserved and low-key on the surface, but there was an insufferable arrogance in their bones. They looked down on everyone except others from the Ji family. They did not even care about some people from the collateral branches. These kinds of people would not bother to attack a newcomer from the First Research Institute. Only people like Ji Xiao and Ji Ziyin would do such a thing. Hence, she bet that the Ji family did not know about Ji Xiao’s private moves. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed. He looked at her warily. He did not say anything, but his eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent. It was obvious that he wanted to kill her. However, Qiao Nian did not even take Ji Hongyuan seriously. How could she take Ji Xiao seriously? Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, she only said calmly, “I’ll give you a minute. If you don’t leave, I’ll call both the Ji family and the First Research Institute to come here.” Ji Xiao was shocked and angry. His eyes were so fierce that he wanted to swallow her up and eat her. However, he really could not figure out where the girl got the confidence to order him around like this. While he was hesitating, the girl had already turned on the timer on her cell phone and started to count down. “One minute starts.” Shen Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat as he watched from the side. Every second was extremely long. He was also afraid that Qiao Nian would completely anger Ji Xiao. Ji Xiao was from the Ji family. If Qiao Nian angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, to his surprise, Ji Xiao took a deep breath and seemed to suppress his anger. He said, “Just you wait!” Then, he turned around, unable to suppress his anger. He said to the people beside him, “Let’s go!” Shen Qingfeng watched as Ji Xiao, who had always been arrogant and domineering, quickly left the corridor and took the elevator. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. His back was already drenched in cold sweat. His voice was dry and hoarse. “Qiao Nian.” Unsurprisingly, the girl put her phone back and hand back in her pocket. Then, she turned around and continued to walk toward Room 3303. As she did so, she said to him, “Let’s go and look for Xu Yi.”
