Luo Fei choked.
Shadow continued, "Also, Leader Luo did show us the relevant ’evidence’, but we want the procedures."
He looked at Luo Fei with contempt, showing the arrogance in his bones. "After all, the Empress’s identity is special. It’s not something that anyone can investigate just because they want to. If they want someone, they can e and ask for them!"
He was just short of pointing at Luo Fei’s nose and saying, "Your level is not high enough!"
However, the meaning between the lines revealed a sense of superiority, vividly displaying the meaning that he did not say out loud.
This was the mon arrogance of the reclusive families!
Luo Fei’s face turned green, red, and white. He clenched his fists tightly to control his emotions so that he would not quarrel with Shadow.
The IPA’s people couldn’t take it lying down upon seeing Luo Fei being humiliated. Their expressions were filled with anger.
However, Shadow did not take them seriously and said coldly, "The Empress is still resting upstairs. Please wait a little longer."
Luo Fei was so angry that his shoulders shook. He wished he could stop him from leaving.
Having just finished clearing another round, Qiao Nian lowered her cell phone and raised her eyelashes slightly. Her black eyelashes were long and cold, and her black eyes looked at the arrogant and domineering person.
"How much longer do we have to wait?"
Silence.
Shadow was very rude to Luo Fei and the others, but he did not dare to be rude to Qiao Nian.
He fell silent.
Luo Fei was originally furious, but when Qiao Nian suddenly interrupted him, his scalp tightened. He thought of the missiles that could fly over his head at any time.
He instantly forgot his anger and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Ahem, Q-Qiao Nian. Forget it, we’re already here..."
Qiao Nian glanced at him and gave him face, not wanting to probe further.
Luo Fei’s scalp went numb. Afraid she would be unhappy, he smiled obsequiously. "...It should be soon."
He even forgot about the ’hate’ from before. He side-eyed Shadow until the corners of his eyes cramped. "Right?"
Shadow frowned at him before reluctantly nodding. "Mr. Fred is on his way."
Luo Fei heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to the girl and said, "Look, I told you!"
"Team Leader..." The other IPA people couldn’t understand what he was doing. Just now, if not for the team leader stopping her from asking, Qiao Nian would have asked.
Why was he still more anxious than the reclusive families’ people?
Someone looked at him hesitantly. "A-Are you alright?"
Luo Fei glared at him fiercely. He really wanted to ask, "What can happen to me?"
However, he knew why the others were looking at him with such strange expressions. If he didn’t know the inside story, he would probably also think that he was crazy.
Yet, he couldn’t tell everyone the truth.
Luo Fei didn’t know what to say and could only keep it to himself.
"I’m fine."
The matter urged by Luo Fei was left unsettled.
Shadow went upstairs to check on Nie Qingru and see why she had not e down from her room.
Only the people from the IPA and the servants ing from time to time to serve tea and water were left in the extravagantly decorated hall.
They didn’t know each other and could only look at each other in silence.
Luo Fei wanted to persuade Qiao Nian. However, even if there was no one here, he knew that surveillance cameras were everywhere.
Their every move was definitely under their noses.
As the person in charge of the region, he would not make a fool of himself at this place.
Luo Fei could only endure it. His body was honest, and he stole a few glances at Qiao Nian from time to time.
