Chapter 2923 Keeping a Low Profile Is Nie Qingru's Best Protection For That Person

Qiao Nian had already taken out the paper from the leather bag to take a look. The thick stack of paper was densely filled with all kinds of property title deeds and investment shares.

None of that was the point.

She completely ignored the other details and looked at the name of one property.

Nie Qixing.

She pointed it out to Feng Yu. "This is?"

Feng Yu only took a glance. "Ah, this is the transfer record. This property was originally under the Empress's name, but it was later transferred to this person."

This method was common in large families, so he did not care much.

However, Qiao Nian's eyes darkened slightly. She stuffed the papers into the leather bag and smiled, then impatiently said, "This is where she lived in the past!"

Nie Qingru had countless private properties.

Country M was also one of the reclusive families' base camps. It was also the Nie family's home nation. Nie Qingru had more properties in Country M than anywhere else. Under such circumstances, how could she live in a house that had already been given away?

The only explanation was that this person was very close to her.

Feng Yu also figured out what was going on and slowly frowned. "But… I've never heard of this Nie Qixing."

"Ji Qing's name has spread throughout the independent continent. You know what happened in the end." Qiao Nian looked at him with a cold expression. "… Being inconspicuous is the best protection."

How could a person like Nie Qingru reveal her weakness to the world? Hiding like this was her style!

Feng Yu's eyelids twitched violently, and he subconsciously reached out. "Qiao Nian, you…"

The girl seemed to know what he was going to say. Her voice grew dark. "I know what I'm doing."

Feng Yu's hand dropped.

Qiao Nian looked at the time and put the leather bag under her armpit. "I'll go back first."

Feng Yu knew she was eating out and nodded with a heavy heart, afraid she would act rashly. "Go on."

Qiao Nian knew what he was thinking. "Don't worry."

Feng Yu nodded with a reluctant expression.

The girl did not waste any more time and returned to the private room.

**

In the private room.

Qiao Nian only returned when the meal was nearing its end.

Su Zhe's heart thumped as she thought about something, and her grip on the wine glass tightened. She only returned to her senses when the person beside her nudged her.

"What are you doing? You've been distracted since you came back from the washroom."

Su Zhe's brows gradually relaxed. "It's nothing."

However, her friend did not believe her. "Why do I feel you're lying?"

"It's really nothing. You're overthinking."

Su Zhe's reply was perfunctory.

It was about time. Everyone exchanged pleasantries and prepared to leave.

At the entrance.

Mo Xi arrived with the car. He rolled down the window and greeted them. "Miss Qiao, Master Wang, are you getting in?"

Ye Wangchuan opened the door for the girl. "Get in."

The girl bent down and got into the car.

Ye Wangchuan said a few words to Shi Fu and the rest before also getting into the car.

The car slowly drove into the night…

Only now did Su Zhe heave a sigh of relief. The huge rock that had been pressing on her chest finally left.

She thought of the person she had accidentally seen tonight and involuntarily called out, "Deputy Director."
