Master Wang, Your Identity Has Fallen

Pointing to a Lamborghini parked on the curb nearby, he said, “My car’s over there.”

Qiao Nian looked in the direction he was pointing at. With just one glance, she retracted her gaze and tugged at the strap of her shoulder bag, declining his good intentions.

“There’s no need for that. I ordered takeout. The hotel staff should have sent it up by now.”

Ji Lin still had things to do, but because of Ye Wangchuan’s instructions, he had no choice but to stay outside the hotel to protect Qiao Nian.

He didn’t really want to eat with her. Seeing that she had rejected him, he slid down the ladder. “I see. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

In the end, Ji Lin didn’t dare to disobey Ye Wangchuan’s orders. Thinking about how the Qi family’s car had blocked Qiao Nian’s path, he thought about it and said, “Miss Qiao, if you need anything, remember to call me. I’ll be nearby.”

“Okay.” Qiao Nian agreed readily.

Reassured, Ji Lin left after reminding her of a few things.

After he left, Qiao Nian took out her phone from her pocket. She didn’t know what Ye Wangchuan was doing, but he still hadn’t replied to her on WeChat.

Qiao Nian tapped her slender fingers on the screen. She lowered her eyes, hiding the interest in them.

Ji Lin…

She seemed to have heard of this name before.

…

At the Qi Residence.

Qi Yan had just sent Jiang Xianrou and Tang Wanru off when she asked the servant to make her a new cup of earl grey black tea.

“Madam.”

The servant quickly placed the tea and exquisite snacks on the table in front of her.

The Qi family’s chauffeur rushed in.

“What are you doing? Why are you so impatient?” Qi Yan frowned. Seeing that there was no one behind him, she asked unhappily, “What’s going on? Where’s the person I asked you to invite over?”

She was talking about Qiao Nian.

She had been feeling uneasy ever since she saw Qiao Nian beside Zhong Yiliu at the Pharmacy Association. She wanted to call her over to investigate and see what Qiao Nian’s relationship with the Association was.

Hence, while dealing with the Jiang mother and daughter, she instructed the driver to invite her over.

Who knew that she would not come?

Seeing that she was angry, the chauffeur hurriedly lowered his head and said softly, “Madam, I wanted to invite Miss Qiao over, but someone from the Bright Gate suddenly appeared.”

“The Bright Gate?” Qi Yan’s expression changed.

The exquisite tea set clattered on the table.

Her expression was uncertain, and her charming eyes shook violently. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

The Bright Gate was similar to Tian Chen and was also a force in the illegal district.

However, compared to Tian Chen, the Bright Gate was even more low-key and mysterious. No one knew who was behind it.

The Bright Gate also rarely appeared in public.

However, those who knew the distribution of forces in the illegal zone and the independent continent knew that the Bright Gate was an existence that could not be underestimated. They had many advanced weapons in their possession.

Strictly speaking, the person behind the Bright Gate was considered a very powerful person in the illegal district and the independent continent.

At the very least, he was not someone Qi Yan could afford to offend.

She was a little confused. “How does Qiao Nian know someone from the Bright Gate?”

The Qi family driver lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. After all, he was just a small fry who didn’t know anything.

How could a small fry like him know what Qi Yan didn’t know?

Qi Yan wasn’t asking him. She was just too shocked, so she couldn’t help but ask. She didn’t expect the driver to answer her.
