Chapter 3306: Still Dreaming
Editor: Atlas Studios
Bo Zheng did not hear him clearly and stood by the bed with a frown.
Qiao Nian heard it clearly. With a thought, she guessed what the old man was talking about.
The person beside her was faster. He sat in front of the bed, held the old man’s hand, and said in a low voice, “You didn’t lose your luggage. The data is also intact.”
Master Cheng relaxed and his body was no longer tense. He looked at Ye Wangchuan and Qiao Nian with difficulty and moved his lips.
This time, she could roughly tell what he was saying.
—Thank you.
From the moment Master Cheng was suddenly stabbed to the moment he fell into a semi-conscious state until now, he did not care if he lived or died.
All he cared about was the puter data in his luggage.
He had spent half his life on this research, afraid they would fall into the hands of people outside Beijing.
Everything else, even his own life, was not as important as what he protected!
Qiao Nian recalled that he was still thinking about his luggage and data when he was half-conscious. Her chest felt stuffy.
Clenching her fists and lowering her eyes, she restrained the hostility in her eyes and said gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”
Nie Qixing and the reclusive families always felt that they were better and different from the rest, that they could casually decide everyone else’s life and death.
This time, it was the other way around.
How could they remain calm when their lives were being decided by others?

Nie Qingru had not rested well for the past two days.
She would wake up in less than an hour after closing her eyes. The migraine became even more serious.
After two days, there was no progress at all.
Even she could not help but feel frustrated and depressed.
“Empress.” Shadow walked in and saw her rubbing her temples. He asked worriedly, “Is your illness acting up again?”
Nie Qingru did not seem to mind. She raised her hand and looked at him, asking, “What did the archbishop say? Is his attitude still the same?”
Shadow himself had not slept for two days. He did not dare to look into her eyes. He half-knelt in front of her and lowered his head in shame. “I was useless.”
That sly old fox!
Nie Qingru’s migraine worsened.
She did not have the time to be angry. She bed her hair and asked, “Where’s Elder Xue?”
“He came to you several times, urging you to make a decision…” Shadow’s voice was dry and difficult.
Even Nie Qingru’s breathing was amplified infinitely. The corners of her mouth twitched in frustration and coldness. “Heh, they really can’t wait.”
Shadow knew he shouldn’t say it, but the situation had reached a dead end.
“Empress, why don’t you plead with her again?”
“…”
Who she was went without saying.
Nie Qingru’s eyelids twitched as she stared at him.
Shadow’s back tensed up like a stringed bow. He continued under pressure, “This is the only way to save Young Master Qi! Unless she’s willing to let go…”
As long as Qiao Nian was willing to relent, they could still push the blame on the dead Miss Ji Qing.
Young Master Qi would still have a chance of survival.
Of course, Shadow did not think he was doing the right thing. It was just that he had watched Young Master Qi grow up and had an extraordinary relationship with him.
Furthermore, Miss Ji Qing had been dead for so long.
Reputation was not that important to a dead person.
At least it was not as important as Young Master Qi’s life.
Shadow pleaded hoarsely, “You’re her grandmother. As long as you tell her nicely, she will understand…”
