Shadow tried to control his voice before asking, “Where did you get this photo?”

Nie Qixing saw the corner of his mouth curl up as he looked at the photo hard. He was a little suspicious but did not show it. “A new friend just gave it to me.”

“Friend?” Shadow held his breath and put away the photo calmly. “Which friend? What’s that friend’s name?”

“I don’t know her name yet. I only know that her surname is Qiao.” Nie Qixing mentioned the person he had met before and briskly continued, “She gifted me a painting, so I invited her to my birthday party. However, she seemed to have something urgent to attend to. She gave me this photo before leaving.”

Qiao

Shadow’s eyes darkened.

The photo became so hot that it almost burned his hand.

Who else in this world had Ji Qing’s photo and could send it to Young Master Qi? No matter how he thought about it, there was only one person.

Qiao Nian!

Shadow pressed between his eyebrows. He wanted to call Nie Qingru and tell her about the situation, so he took the photo and said to Nie Qixing, “I’ll give the Empress’ gift to your assistant. Go get it from him later.”

“Uncle Ning, aren’t you staying?”

Shadow said, “I have something to attend to.”

He wanted to immediately go back and tell the Empress that Qiao Nian had already set her sights on Young Master Qi. Ji Qing’s photo was the best evidence!

Qiao Nian was reminding them.

She had already detected Nie Qixing’s existence and could approach him silently whenever she wanted!

She would use Nie Qixing to settle the score!

Shadow held his breath, and his expression turned serious. He did not return the photo to Nie Qixing and left quickly.

Nie Qixing watched him leave. His smile faded, and his eyes narrowed. A fleeting trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Confused, Zhang Yin touched his ear and asked, “Young Master Qi, is there anything wrong with that girl?”

Nie Qixing was deep in thought. “I’ve investigated her. She’s from the independent continent. Her background is clean. She’s just an ordinary person.”

At the mention of this, Zhang Yin also remembered and quickly reported, “I’ve also checked in on her. The information she registered at the front desk says she’s from the First Research Institute.”

She’s an academic?

Nie Qixing thought about the First Research Institute and recalled his conversation over the phone with Qiao Nian, in which she mentioned that she got to know him through an academic journal on atomic energy.

It seemed there was nothing wrong with this person.

Zhang Yin carefully leaned over. “Young Master Qi, should we continue investigating her?”

Nie Qixing thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait and see.”

Recalling the girl’s unique aura, he raised his eyebrows and thoughtfully said, “I’m quite interested in her.”

Zhang Yin was stunned. He observed the man’s expression as Nie Qixing pushed the glasses up his nose bridge with interest, refined and elegant.

He quickly lowered his head and started to plan.

“You’re back?” Ye Wangchuan waited by the elevator for 20 minutes before the girl returned. She looked like she had found the person. “Did you give it to him?”

Qiao Nian pinched the bridge of her nose with a tired expression. “Mm.”

Ye Wangchuan pressed the elevator button. When the doors opened, he looked at the uninterested girl with pursed lips. “You saw him?”
