Chapter 2556 Sister Nian Retreats  

He was about to give the order when his cell phone rang.

The ringtone was like a pause button, knocking on everyone's hearts.

Shadow looked at the caller ID and said to the others, "Wait a minute."

Then, he walked to the side with a serious expression and picked up the call. "Hello, yes."

He heard something and flew into a rage. His expression changed and he turned his head to the girl in the middle of the square with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to eat her up.

But seemingly afraid of something, he gritted his teeth, causing his cheek muscles to tighten. "Yes, I understand."

He hung up and walked back, then said to his dozen subordinates, "Release her."

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned. "Release her?" Someone argued angrily. "Lord Shadow, if we release her now, our reputation…"

Shadow slapped him, causing the person to stagger and almost fall to the ground. "The Empress's orders, let her go!"

The remaining people looked at each other. There was a commotion, and no one dared to say anything. action

At this moment, Shadow walked up to the girl. Tall and with a strong aura, he lowered his eyes and looked at the girl coldly. "Miss Qiao, I really underestimated your courage."

Qiao Nian heard their conversation, so she knew that the other party did not intend to attack.

She raised her eyebrows. Although she did not know what had happened, she still replied indifferently, "Oh? You flatter me. Actually, I'm quite timid and can't take a scare."

Shadow took a deep breath, and his facial muscles trembled. He looked at her, trying his best to restrain himself. "You're provoking the reclusive families like this. We can only fight to the death. Miss Qiao, this matter is not over!"

Qiao Nian put her gun away. Her eyelashes did not move, but her exquisite and eye-catching face was extremely annoying. She raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Are you done? Can I leave now?" Her attitude was extremely arrogant. She did not seem to take what he said to heart.

Shadow's eyelids twitched and he pursed his lips.

However, thinking of the situation on the Empress' side, he had no choice but to make way for her. "Let her go!" The others were intimidated by his prestige and unwillingly made way.

A path that only allowed one person to pass through was opened.

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, she received a WeChat message from Ye Wangchuan.

Qiao Nian took out her cell phone and opened the new message. The man only gave one concise sentence: [With me here, leave without worry.]

It was just a few words, but Qiao Nian instantly understood what was going on.

She put her cell phone back into her pocket and pulled down the brim of her cap to cover her eyes. Then, she walked past the people from the reclusive families expressionlessly.

She calculated how long it would take for her to turn 20. After all, from the looks of it, she owed him a huge favor today.

Across the road.

The woman Qiao Nian saw in the private room was a little surprised to see her leave the square unscathed.

However, she immediately got out of the car and opened the passenger door for the girl. "Miss Qiao, get in."

Without another word, Qiao Nian got into the car, buckled her seatbelt, and asked her, "Where's Lu Zhi?"

After this rescue operation, the woman had long become respectful to her. Her attitude was much more respectful now. "CEO Lu has been sent to the Pharmacy Association. They should have gotten there by now."
