"Sit down," Nie Qingru said after a second after seeing his eyes, signaling him to sit down.
Di Xicheng sat down obediently and gave Shadow a provocative look when Nie Qingru was not looking.
It was as if he was replying to what he had just said: Look, it’s not that I don’t want to leave.
Shadow’s blood boiled. He looked away expressionlessly and placed his hands in front of him. He heard his loyal master say, "Xicheng is not an outsider. Just make your report."
Shadow felt suffocated. He thought of Nie Qixing again and looked at Di Xicheng’s face with disgust. He suppressed it and said, "Empress, we found the people from the Nance Alliance."
Nie Qingru’s expression grew slightly cold. "Hmph, I didn’t expect them to still dare to show their faces. Looks like these people are to hold out hope until faced with the grim reality.
"There’s only one person left in the Nance Alliance that we haven’t caught. His appearance this time should have something to do with his grandson."
Shadow said slowly, "We couldn’t find where he was hiding. Someone thought of a way to trap him with information about his grandson. He fell for it."
Nie Qingru lowered her eyes and wiped her fingers with a towel. Under the light, her actions looked so elegant and noble, but her words were like that of a demon from hell. "There’s only one person left from that batch of people back then. Since we’ve found him, we’ll deal with him cleanly. Find out if his grandson really exists or is just a bait. If it’s true, we’ll deal with both together."
"Empress, that child... We interrogated the people we captured previously. They don’t know if Ji Qing hid that research. Moreover, they don’t know much. Just some insignificant matters."
