Inside.
âElder Xue, Elder Leo is causing trouble outside and wants to see you. Lookâ¦â
In the huge white room, the silver-haired old man was meticulously practicing his calligraphy. He looked calm and imposing.
Hearing this, he placed the pen on the pen holder and unhurriedly asked, âWhatâs he doing here?â
The Conservatives and Radicals had always kept to their own business. The two factions did not get along but maintained the relationship flawlessly on the surface. They usually greeted each other upon meeting.
Leonard had a bad temper, but he was also smart. He never went too far. Was he crazy today?
That person lowered his head and said very respectfully, âl donât know, either. Elder Leo suddenly brought people over and looked very angry. He wanted to barge in, but we stopped him⦠He only said that he had something to discuss with you. He didnât say anything more.â
Elder Xue had already tidied up the rice paper on the table. He nodded and said, âLet him in.â
Leonard entered quickly. His expression was terrifyingly dark, and he did not hide his anger at all. He said the moment he entered, âWhat do you mean by this?â
Elder Xue frowned slightly.
He stood up and walked towards the mahogany chair used for receiving guests.
âWhat are you saying?â
âYouâre still acting dumb.â Leonard was really angry this time. He spoke bluntly and did not hide his purpose. âDonât you know what your person has done?!â
Elder Xue sat on the chair, picked up the thermos flask on the table, and unscrewed the cap. He lowered his head to take a sip before slowly looking at him. âOh? My person? Who is it?â
Leonard hated him for playing dumb. He walked over, sat down, placed his hand on the coffee table, and gritted his teeth. âWho else can it be?! Donât you think highly of the direct descendants of the Ji family? Itâs that Easterner, Qiao Nian!â
Elder Xueâs warm expression faded slightly, and a dignified aura exuded from him. He reminded him coldly, âShe has already entered the Privy Council and is a member. Elder Leo, watch your words!â
âHmph!â Leonard snorted angrily. Then, he questioned, âAlright, now that you mentioned the Privy Council, I have something to ask you too. What does Qiao Nian mean by this? She didnât complete the mission herself, but she went to the airport to kidnap the target. Is this the way you conservatives do things?!
Do you only know how to steal credit?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Actually, Elder Xue did not know what Qiao Nian had done, nor did he know what he meant by airport and kidnapping.
However, he did not show it. There was only a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. As if he knew something, he put down the thermos flask and said, âThis mission was originally given to them by the Privy Council to complete together. Why does she have to steal it?â
âItâs all because she wants toâ¦â Leonard almost blurted out that Qiao Nian wanted to embarrass them.
Elder Xue looked at him calmly. âShe wants to?â
Leonard could not bring himself to say it. There was a ball of anger in his heart, so he casually pulled it away. âAnyway, she kidnapped him! You canât deny this!â
âOh.â The silver-haired old man was still very calm. He flicked the wrinkles on his clothes and looked at him with a pair of hawk-like eyes. âDo you have evidence?â
Leonard said, âWhat?â
He found it unbelievable. âWho else could it be other than her! Who would do this?â
Elder Xue did not buy it. âThen thereâs no evidence.â
Leonard jumped to his feet. His expression was extremely ugly as he narrowed his eyes.. âYouâre not going to admit it?â
