Fortunately, Yu Qingliu quickly adjusted his emotions. He massaged his temples and walked to the water dispenser to get himself a glass of water. Looking as if he had aged ten years, he said tiredly, "Just live here in peace. I have many things I need your help with in the future."
"Alright." Ji Ziyin obediently lowered her eyes. "Elder Yu, feel free to let me know if you need anything. I'll definitely help you as long as it's within my means."
Yu Qingliu was pleased with her feigned innocence. He acknowledged her and returned with the water. "Rest early tonight. Don't go out. It'll be noisy. If you can't sleep, put on earplugs." He said it lightly, but bloodthirst oozed from his tone.
Ji Ziyin was present at the time and knew what he was going to do tonight, so she sensibly said, "Alright, I'll take good care of myself."
Coincidentally, someone came in to report to Yu Qingliu about the arrangements.
"Elder Yu, we put snipers around the Pharmacy Association according to your instructions. As long as someone es out, our people will definitely deal with them immediately!"
"Mm."
Yu Qingliu asked him how many people he prepared and where they were.
Ji Ziyin was like a backdrop, trying her best to reduce her presence. She lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her lips curled up.
She felt happy ever since she found out that the person at odds with the reclusive families was Qiao Nian.
Although she was still related to Qiao Nian by blood, this bit of blood relationship was far inferior to the benefits that advantaged her.
Ji Ziyin did not speak up for Qiao Nian from the beginning to the end.
She couldn't even be bothered to pretend. She was just short of asking them to kill Qiao Nian!

At the same time, in an old residence of the reclusive families in Country M.
Shadow quickly entered the courtyard and walked toward the person drinking afternoon tea. He dropped to one knee and lowered his head to report the news.
"Empress, Yu Qingliu has already prepared the snipers and assassins. He's taking action tonight.
"The Pharmacy Association also showed action. Zhong Yiliu and the members of the Pharmacy Association have begun to transfer the medicine and equipment. It seems they won't stay there tonight."
In other words, Qiao Nian had already received the news.
Even Shadow had to admire Qiao Nian's connections in Country M.
"Zhong Yiliu came to me, probably wanting to plead on her behalf."
Shadow listened to the deep and dignified voice. He did not dare to raise his head and only listened quietly.
The elderly's voice was old, but it exuded an imposing aura. It was tough, cold, and heartless. "I didn't see him."
Shadow was not surprised. His head lowered. "Empress, you have a noble status. He's not qualified to beg you."
"Huh."
The Empress chuckled and said slowly, "Is the Ji family qualified?"
Shadow immediately broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to answer.
The Empress continued, "I don't know where Ji Lingfeng heard the news from, but he called me and told me clearly that if I did anything to Qiao Nian, he would fight me to the death.
"Ridiculous!"
Her voice became sharp. "Ji Lingfeng fell in love with his half-sister. Even with his own children, he's not able to cut off his desire. He's as dark and shady as a rat in the gutter. He won't be able to get her for the rest of his life!"
