âEmpress, should we teach him a lesson?â Shadow appeared beside her and asked in a low voice as he looked in the carâs direction.
Nie Qingru suppressed her anger and got into the car expressionlessly. Then, she said coldly, âHeâs Xie Tingyunâs benefactor and has a connection with the Nan family of the independent continent. Heâs also a respected master. Thereâs no need for us to fall out with him over a small matterâ¦â
Although she said that, she actually felt suffocated.
Shadow hesitated for a moment before looking at her and saying, âEmpress, Mr. Auburn said that Miss Ji Qing studied electromagnetic cannons back thenâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nie Qingruâs tense body was like a bow leaning against the car. She lowered her eyes, and her dark eyebrows gave off an unreasonable feeling.
After a long while, she said faintly, âI wonât believe anything without evidence!â
Shadow looked at her in a daze. âBut with Mr. Auburnâs prestige, he wonât lie about such a matterâ¦â
Nie Qingru held onto the wide brim of her hat. She was graceful and elegant, but she was stubborn on this matter. âIf she had already built the electromagnetic cannon, why didnât she tell me? She never said anything, which means she didnât succeed in the end!â
âButâ¦â
âDidnât that old man Auburn also say that Ji Qing only showed him an 80% finished product back then? She must have failed to finish it.â
Under normal circumstances, itâs impossible to fail after completing 80% of the finished product.
But Shadow had seen through her attitude, so he stopped talking and said considerately, âEmpress, let me close the car door for you.â
The black car door blocked Nie Qingruâs cold and arrogant face, and the black car soon drove past Shadowâ¦
Shadow stood on the spot and watched the tail of the car disappear from his sight. Then, he composed himself and walked towards the exhibition hall.
Young Master Qi was still inside.
The Empress left Young Master Qi behind. He couldnât just ignore him.

âHow come?â
âWhy is this the result?â
âThatâs impossible.â
Qiao Nian and the othersâ results had been out for a long time, but Li Xin was still standing there in disbelief, muttering to himself.
The bearded man couldnât stand it anymore and slapped him on the back in an attempt to wake him up. âThe results are out. Number 18 did get first place!â
Li Xin mechanically turned to look at him and asked, âThey got first place?â
The bearded man frowned and woke him up coldly. âLi Xin, thereâs no point in being conflicted like this. Youâre a man. If you lose, so be it! She didnât ask you to kneel or anything like that⦠Just apologize properly and do what you have to do.â
When Li Xin made the bet back then, he did not leave any leeway for Qiao Nian. He was certain he would win, so he asked Qiao Nian to kneel and apologize to him in front of everyone.
Compared to his conditions, Qiao Nianâs conditions were not harsh.
So now that he had lost, no one would sympathize with him.
However, Li Xinâs face was ashen. Suddenly waking up, he pushed the bearded man away and fiercely said, âWhy should I apologize?! Iâ¦â
The bearded man was caught off guard and staggered. Seeing that he was a sore loser, he immediately waved his hand and left. âUp to you!â
âDonât go!â Li Xin panicked again when he saw he was about to leave.
Unfortunately, the bearded man had no intention of putting up with him anymore. He left without looking back, leaving him alone.
