Chapter 2620 Big Boss Lu Has Completely Lost, Returning to a Relationship Below Friends   magic

"I know someone’s behind them, but it will never change the fact that they’re the ones who killed her.

"I never take it out on innocent people.

"But, I think there are boundaries to everything.

"For example, the boundary between a stranger and a friend is different. Once a person crosses the boundary, it’s equivalent to declaring a new relationship."

The girl’s voice was cold and restrained as she spoke. She was calm the entire time.

However, Lu Zhi felt as if his heart was being squeezed. He could no longer maintain his calm.

Qiao Nian straightened her back and looked at him one last time, still as carefree as ever.

"I told you I’d find a way to fix your leg.

"I’ll keep that promise."

With that, she turned around and left. Lu Zhi looked at her back. He buried his head in his hands in pain. He wanted to ask her, "So, our relationship now… we’re strangers?" But he did not dare.

All the words were stuck in his throat. Only he understood why he did not dare to ask.

…

Qiao Nian left early with Feng Yu after eating.

She wanted to check the password of the USB drive in the research institute.

Feng Yu also had some unfinished business at the research institute.

Both of them were going back to the research institute, so Feng Yu gave her a ride.

He Lin wanted to send them off, but Feng Yu had his own chauffeur. However, He Lin still sent them to the door and watched them get into the car before returning inside.

Ji Lingfeng was waiting for him. His expression did not change as he asked, "Has she left?"

"Yes." He Lin stood respectfully in front of him. "Little Miss left in Elder Feng’s car. I just sent them out."

Ji Lingfeng nodded slightly. Thinking of Qiao Nian’s gift, he fell silent for a moment before saying, "Go and inform the people present today not to tell anyone else about the Falcon HTV-2 model. Suppress this matter."

This was a good thing.

He Lin looked up at him in confusion. Ji Lingfeng simply said, "She’s not suitable to be high-profile."

Qiao Nian’s identity was special.

The more attention she attracted, the more dangerous it was for her.

"Oh, right." Ji Lingfeng called him back.

He Lin hurriedly turned back. "Patriarch, is there anything else?"

Ji Lingfeng’s gaze turned vicious. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Tell Ji Ziyin and Ji Xiao to come see me after the banquet ends."

He Lin knew he was going to settle the score later. Feeling good, he hurriedly agreed. "I understand."

Ji Lingfeng frowned and raised his hand to stop him again.

He thought of another person. "And Ji Hongyuan. Call him over, too."

He Lin was a little surprised.

Ji Lingfeng had always respected the older generation ever since he took over as the family head. Ji Hongyuan’s seniority was high and his contribution to the family was great…

Logically speaking, with Ji Lingfeng’s style of doing things, he would not implicate Ji Hongyuan.

However, thinking about the things Ji Hongyuan did recently that did not match his status and which embarrassed the family, He Lin thought it was no wonder the Patriarch would be angry.

He bent down perceptively. "I understand, Patriarch."

He Lin quickly went to do as Ji Lingfeng had instructed.

Little Miss had given him a model of the Falcon HTV-2. This was indeed too high-profile. Many people in the independent continent would not be able to sleep tonight!
