1843 Sorry, Sister Nian Rejected It
Qiao Nian didn’t sit down. Instead, she leaned against the side of the chair and propped her elbows on the back as she casually replied to Nie Mi’s and Jiang Li’s messages.
Then, she noticed from the corner of her eye that she had received an unknown message from an unknown number.
No number displayed?
Qiao Nian’s cold eyes deepened with interest. She raised the corners of her eyes and opened the message with her fair hand.
[Hello, Miss Qiao. I’m from the Ji family of the Independent Continent. I heard that your mother passed away early. Are you interested in knowing more about her? This is also related to your background. Your maternal grandfather’s family hopes to bring you back. Please consider whether you want to meet me. Hope to hear back.]
!!
Qiao Nian read it quickly.
A hint of mockery flashed across her eyes when she saw the words ‘I heard that your mother passed away early’ and ‘your maternal grandfather’s family hopes to bring you back’.
She did not reply and casually deleted the message. Looking up, the progress bar on the laptop had already reached 100%.
Qiao Nian put her phone aside and focused all her attention on the puter.
She originally thought that she could directly enter the network of the First Research Institute. She didn’t expect that there would be an updated defense system.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and pulled out the chair. She placed her hands on the keyboard and started typing.
A series of codes flowed smoothly from her fingertips.
Soon, after hitting the Enter key, a small warning box popped up on the screen.
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and stared at the yellow warning box. Finally, the corners of her mouth curled up. Then, she arrogantly entered a series of codes and temporarily left.
She had never thought that the defense system of the First Research Institute would be so advanced. She would leave traces even if she wanted to attack it.
Of course, it was not that she could not crack the last firewall, but if she directly attacked it, it would inevitably alert the enemy.
Qiao Nian stopped at the last step and temporarily chose to withdraw.
She leaned back in her chair and looked at the screen again, not moving for a long time.
Until her phone screen lit up again.
Qiao Nian took her phone and looked down.
It was a WeChat message from Ye Wangchuan.
His profile picture was a very distinctive black color.
Qiao Nian supported her chin with her hand, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. She raised her eyebrows and looked at WeChat again, then pulled out the chair and stood up. She only brought her cell phone as she went downstairs happily.

The next day.
As they were going to the Independent Continent, Qiao Nian woke up early in the morning.
She did not go to the airport first. Instead, she went to the hospital to see Old Master Jiang and chatted with the doctor before going to the airport.
At the capital airport, she took her boarding pass, pressed the brim of her cap down, and went to the vending machine at the side to buy a cup of hot coffee. She pulled the tab and took a small sip.
Ji Nan’s message arrived as promised.
[Have you set off?]
Qiao Nian slowly finished her coffee and took her time to put it aside. Then, she replied to his message.
[QN: I’ll be there in twelve hours.]
The Independent Continent was actually beside Country Z, about the same distance as Country M.
After replying to Ji Nan, she received a new message from an unfamiliar person.
[1XXXXXXXX: Hello, Miss Qiao. I’m Mo Nan. Master Wang told me what time your flight is. I’ll pick you up.]
Half an hour later.
After getting on the plane, Qiao Nian sat in her seat, took out her sleeping mask, and lowered her seat. Then, she turned off her phone and closed her eyes to rest.
