1869 Don’t Bother About Qiao Nian, The First Research Institute Is More Important

Ji Xiao was shocked. “How can that be? The Patriarch…”

Thank you readers!

“Heh, that person insisted that I instructed him to do it. The elders in the family were all there, and the Patriarch couldn’t possibly protect me.” Ji Ziyin lowered her eyes as ruthlessness flashed past them. She spoke slowly and casually, but only she knew that Ji Lingfeng’s attitude towards her had become cold.

A little annoyed, she looked up before Ji Xiao could ask further. “Second Uncle, why are you here?”

Ji Xiao originally wanted to ask her further, but he soon forgot about it and thought of his motive for coming. “Qiao Nian.”

Ji Ziyin pulled up her clothes and supported herself to pick up the medicine on the table, preparing to take one.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar name.

Ji Ziyin’s beautiful face stiffened and she immediately looked at him.

Ji Xiao did not leave her hanging. “I bumped into her when I was eating with Dr. Liao at the Intercontinental Hotel. She did not have anyone with her. She seems to be staying there.”

“You must have seen it wrongly.” Ji Ziyin did not believe that someone who should be in Beijing would come to the Independent Continent in the blink of an eye.

The Independent Continent was not a tourist attraction. It was not a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased.

However, Ji Xiao was very certain. “I saw her very clearly! It’s difficult for me to mistake her! She’s someone you would remember even if you’ve only seen her once. I came to look for you because of this.”

Ji Ziyin was speechless.

Ji Xiao walked opposite her and found a seat for himself. After sitting down, he looked at her in confusion. “Ziyin, do you know why she came to the Independent Continent?”

Ji Ziyin was speechless for a moment.

How could she know why Qiao Nian had come to the Independent Continent? She had never even received any news beforehand!

Ji Ziyin was a person of action.

She had never done anything unnecessary.

She immediately called He Congming.

He answered the call, but the meaning between the lines seemed to be that he didn’t know that Qiao Nian had come to the Independent Continent at all. He even asked her, “How could an outsider like Qiao Nian go to the Independent Continent at will?”

Ji Ziyin could not get anything out of him and could only hang up.

She and Ji Xiao stared at each other after not having found any useful information.

At this moment, Ji Ziyin’s phone rang.

Ji Xiao only heard her calm “Hello” before her tone changed.

“An additional registration spot? Who? The Nan family?! How is that possible? They haven’t participated in the assessment for almost 20 years. Why did they join this time? Hmm… Dr. Liao, do you know who the other party is?” Ji Ziyin’s expression was ugly. After a long time, she said, “I understand.”

She came back to reality after answering the call.

Before Ji Xiao could ask her, Ji Ziyin said with a dark expression, “Just now, news from the First Research Institute is that the Nan family also signed up for this year’s assessment. For the time being, no one has found out who they signed up.”

In recent years, the Nan family had become even more unwilling to participate in the disputes of the Independent Continent. They were like invisible people and did not have much presence.

However, the Nan family was one of the three big families in the Independent Continent, after all. After so many years, they were finally participating in the First Research Institute’s assessment again… No matter who the Nan family sent, this news was enough to make people afraid!

Ji Xiao was also very surprised. “Hasn’t the Nan family never participated in these things?”

“Who knows what they’re thinking this time.” Ji Ziyin lowered her eyes, covering the darkness in them. “Second Uncle, put Qiao Nian’s matter aside for the time being. The First Research Institute’s assessment is more important.”
