Chapter 3718: Nie Qingru Wasn’t Even Sure It Was Di Xicheng
“We can wait…” The old man was unwilling to relent.
Nie Qingru’s face was as cold as ice. “You mean you don’t trust me anymore?”
These words were a few degrees colder.
The elders from the Leonard family did not look too good either. No one would be happy to have an important account book stolen from them. Moreover, the other party had reported them, causing them to be overwrought… If it weren’t for Nie Qingru, they wouldn’t have e to talk today. Instead, they would have directly arrested him.
At this moment, Luke stopped the old man trying to confront Nie Qingru. “Uncle, don’t be angry. Let’s trust the Empress this time.”
The old man heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had found a way out. He looked indifferently at Nie Qingru, no longer as polite and respectful as before. “In short, this account book is very important to us. I hope the Empress will take it to heart and give us an explanation as soon as possible.”
“Of course.”
After agreeing, Nie Qingru replied indifferently, “It’s still not certain my people took your account book. I only agreed to help ask. If it turns out not to be him, I won’t be able to manage your family matters. I can only trouble you to work harder to find out how you lost the account book!”
“Hmph!” The old man snorted coldly. Then, he waved his hand and said to the others behind him, “Let’s go!”
Luke politely bade goodbye to Nie Qingru before following them.
Shadow walked closer. “Empress, why do I feel that something is amiss?”
“Of course I know it’s unlikely, but at this time…” She was extremely annoyed and said in a low voice, “I’ll ask him.”

In the treatment room.
The doctor had already treated the man and was exhorting him to take note.
Nie Qingru smelled the blood in the room. Looking to the side, she saw the bloody bullets, scissors, and tweezers on the tray.
Moreover, with his jacket off, Di Xicheng revealed the bulletproof vest underneath.
The angle of the shot was very tricky. It hit where the bulletproof vest could not cover. If it had moved an inch forward, it would have crippled his arm.
Of course, the other party did not deliberately let him off. Instead, Di Xicheng realized the danger and dodged 0.001 seconds in advance, avoiding his arm from being crippled.
That shot missed the joint on his left shoulder and barely saved his arm.
The doctor did not give him anesthesia according to his request. He did not make a sound throughout, as if he did not know pain and endured it numbly.
However, the sweat on his forehead and the pale color of his lips betrayed that he was not a blockhead who did not know pain. In fact, he endured pain that no ordinary person could tolerate.
“Don’t let the wound get wet for the next few days. Also, try to use this arm as little as possible…
“Avoid spice, tobacco, alcohol, etc.
“Rest early. Don’t tire yourself. e every three days to change the dressing until the wound scabs over.”
“Okay.”
Di Xicheng’s voice was hoarse.
Nie Qingru walked in from behind him. Seeing this scene, most of her anger dissipated, and an indescribable frustration rose in her heart.
Just as she clenched her fists, Di Xicheng suddenly turned around and saw her. His eyes flashed, and he barely managed to call out, “Auntie.”
