Standing behind Qiao Bowen, Qiao Yi glared at her fiercely, but Qiao Shiba ignored it and just watched Qiao Bowen.
Qiao Bowen sighed, "This is too risky..."
"Isn’t this what you wanted? The lady isn’t here, who are you putting on this act for?" Qiao Shiba sneered coldly.
"Qiao Shiba, watch your attitude," Qiao Yi snapped sharply.
Qiao Shiba rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and said disdainfully, "I don’t carry the Qiao surna, and besides, I’ve quit the National Security Departnt. You’re not my superior anymore, so how can you control ?"
"Qiao Shiba, you’re getting bold," Qiao Yi’s fists clenched audibly.
"Sa goes for you," Qiao Shiba glanced at Qiao Bowen, and seeing his face slightly stiff, her mood inexplicably improved.
Qiao Bowen is just a hypocritical old fox. Although he seems good to the lady, he always has a hidden agenda. How could he have climbed from a background-less civilian to where he is now without being strategic? If he were truly a good guy, it would be the biggest joke in the world.
The more it is like this, the more Qiao Shiba detests him.
"Alright, stop arguing," Qiao Bowen said coldly.
Qiao Yi glared hard at Qiao Shiba, "You dead girl, I’ll settle this with you later."
"Tell her I know what to do, advise her to stay safe, and put her life above all else," Qiao Bowen closed his eyes, envisioning the young girl’s image and feeling an emptiness inside.
Qinger, will you bla ?
I really didn’t expect your daughter to end up like this.
Fate is cruel, I’m also acting out of necessity.
He promises to do his utmost to protect Yun Ya.
"Sir, Mr. Yan is here," Qiao Jiu’s voice sounded from outside the door.
Qiao Bowen was montarily dazed; had he caught wind of sothing?
"Please, let him in quickly."
Yan Nanmo walked in, decked out in a suit like a breath of spring breeze, composed yet commanding, becoming ever more charming.
"Elder Qiao, how’s your health lately?"
"Still the sa as always, unlike you, Nanmo, you’re in great spirits."
Qiao Bowen glanced at Qiao Yi, who then left with Qiao Shiba.
"I won’t beat around the bush, Elder Qiao. I’ve learned about the Queen matter, and I’m aware of the dealings between you and Yun Ya, but I’m a step late. I genuinely care for this child and wish she remains safe. Do you understand what I an?" His eyes were deep like the sea, his tone understated but threatening.
Qiao Bowen was startled by Yan Nanmo’s aura but maintained a calm deanor: "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"If Elder Qiao wants to feign ignorance, I can’t stop you. My only request is Yun Ya’s safety. Otherwise, even if I, Yan Nanmo, am alone and powerless, I will seek revenge for Yun Ya."
Yan Nanmo’s words were resolute, resounding.
Qiao Bowen choked, "You... you’re overthinking, even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs..."
"Ha..." Yan Nanmo sneered, "Elder Qiao, I thought you wouldn’t be naive after reaching your current status. Seems I’ve overestimated you."
The ruthless sarcasm caused Qiao Bowen’s old face to blush slightly, "Nanmo, you know I have no choice."
"There are many ways, but you always prefer the one with the least cost for the greatest benefits. From a national perspective, you’re not mistaken, but your error lies in targeting my people. I’m very protective and couldn’t care less about state or nationality obligations. If you can’t protect your own, how do you talk about safeguarding the nation?"
With one sentence, Qiao Bowen was rendered speechless.
"Qiao Shiba, do you really think the National Security Departnt is so easy to enter and exit? Today, it’s because Elder Qiao isn’t pursuing it. Otherwise, do you think you’d still be alive facing ?" Qiao Yi said coldly.
Qiao Shiba sneered, "Really? In my view, your National Security Departnt is just garbage, filled with useless people. With folks like you around, the nation’s future is worrying."
Qiao Yi’s face turned pale, "Qiao Shiba, today I’m going to teach you a lesson." With that, she raised her fist to strike.
Qiao Shiba dodged lightly, "I don’t want to fight you, fearing you’ll lose too badly."
Qiao Yi clenched her fists, "Cut the crap, let’s settle this with our skills."
"You’ve forced ," Qiao Shiba took off her belt, wrapping it gradually around her hand. Her gaze and aura transford dramatically.
Qiao Yi felt a twinge of surprise, steadied himself... though Qiao Shiba was quick to master martial arts, she should know the limits of her skill since he trained her.
Suddenly, Qiao Shiba moved, her figure swift like lightning; in the blink of an eye, she flashed before Qiao Yi. Qiao Yi stifled the shock and instinctively responded, but his wrist was ensnared by her soft rope, and with a gentle tug, his whole body was flung away.
