Chapter 3716: Nie Qingru Is About to Go Crazy Editor: Atlas Studios Qiao Nian suddenly understood how Qiao Chen felt whenever she saw Fu Ge standing up for her. It was the feeling of being protected. Even if she didn’t need anyone to protect her, that person always stood up for her. The unhappiness from before dissipated and became less important. Qiao Nian thought before picking up her phone to call someone. "Hello, didn’t you say you wanted to return the favor? Do me a favor." ** Outside the emergency room in the hospital, Continent M. Nie Qingru walked out of the emergency room with an ashen face. The lingering smell of blood still stimulated her nerves, reminding her of the past. Shadow said goodbye to the doctor and walked over, observing her carefully. "Empress, are you alright? You look very pale." Nie Qingru held onto the railing with closed eyes. Shadow saw that she did not look too good. "The doctor said that Young Master Di is only injured. The bullet needs to be taken out of his shoulder. It will not be life-threatening. He just needs to rest for a few days." Di Xicheng had only been shot in the shoulder, so his injuries were not serious. Furthermore, the other party had no intention of taking his life. After taking the shot, he immediately ran away. When their men ran to the building opposite at the sniping spot, they only found a floor full of cigarette butts. The cigarette butts had been carefully burned, leaving no information behind. "The other party has no intention of taking Young Master Di’s life," Shadow said honestly. However, his words stimulated Nie Qingru’s already fragile nerves. She raised her head almost neurotically, her red eyes murderous. "If she wants Xicheng’s life, can I only watch helplessly?" "Empress..." Shadow’s breathing stopped. He reached out to touch her, but he had no choice but to lower his head. "Young Master Di is not that person." He wanted to tell Nie Qingru that that person died a long time ago. He had been dead for decades. However, he did not dare to say it. He only vaguely mentioned it, but Nie Qingru’s reaction was as if she had been provoked. "If it were him, I would have cut that evil creature into a thousand pieces! No, I should have done this long ago. I should have killed her long ago without caring about the consequences. As long as she dies, all the troubles will be resolved, and there will be nothing to worry about." The veins on Nie Qingru’s forehead bulged as if she had made up her mind. "Go contact..." Shadow was afraid she would do something irreversible on impulse, so he quickly interrupted her. "Empress, Qiao Nian can die, but she can’t die suddenly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to answer to Continent F, the First Research Institute, and the illegal district." Nie Qingru glared as if she wanted to eat him alive. Shadow stood firm, refusing to back down. Fortunately, Nie Qingru quickly controlled her emotions and said in a low voice, "I really can’t take it anymore." Shadow looked at her again and did not say anything. He knew Nie Qingru’s bottom line. If the Empress cared about benefits and power the most, then there was someone who was above these two things. It was just that that person had died too long ago. Di Xicheng was not that person. Shadow felt he was not worthy of what Nie Qingru had risked to get for him. "Young Master Di is fine." Shadow only said this. The little crow’s feet at the corners of Nie Qingru’s eyes became more prominent. She was silent for a moment before sneering. "I know. I just think I’ve endured enough!" This time, she made up her mind. "Find out who’s behind it. I won’t let Qiao Nian off if she’s behind it!" "Yes, Your Majesty." Before leaving, Shadow’s subordinates rushed over to report. "Empress, Boss, the people from the Leonard family are here."
