2544 Threatening Sister Nian With Lu Zhi

"I really couldn't find Mr. Lu!"

"Then wouldn't you have taken my money for nothing?" Jian Jin snorted.

That person tried his best to prove his worth. After thinking hard, he thought of something. "Before I snuck out, I heard that they wanted to transfer an important person to… Freedom Square to be hanged."

Country M had a long history.

Until now, they still maintained some seemingly unbelievable punishments, and there was a possibility of being publicly executed.

However, considering the international image, the royal family rarely used this power.

These punishments were only kept on paper. In fact, very few people would be publicly executed.

Jian Jin's expression changed upon hearing this. She lowered her feet and grabbed his shoulder with a dark expression. "Where's Freedom Square?"

The bones in the man's shoulder creaked from her grip, and his expression twisted in pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not far from downtown."

Jian Jin could tell that he was in unbearable pain. She let go and ordered him expressionlessly, "Send me the address!"

He took out his phone and quickly found a location on the map to share with her.

Jian Jin got the location and realized that this place was not far from the place where Qiao Nian would be negotiating with the royal family. The bad thoughts in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she quickly sent the location to the girl while telling her the news.

Lu Zhi had been proud all his life. He could not accept his crippled legs the most.

Being publicly executed would undoubtedly be worse for someone with Lu Zhi's personality than just killing him.

Jian Jin's eyes reddened. She cursed and punched the steering wheel, wishing she could run to the square.

However, Qiao Nian had instructed her to stay outside and watch the royal residence.

No matter how much she wanted to save Lu Zhi, she could only be anxious. She could only place all her hopes on Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian received Jian Jin's message and Lu Zhi's latest news a few minutes later.

She finished reading it expressionlessly and typed a reply. Then, she put the phone back on the table.

Qin Si noticed her abnormality and immediately asked in a low voice, "Sister Qiao, what happened? You don't look good."

"I'm fine." Qiao Nian only put her cell phone back and did not do anything else. Her eyes were bloodshot.

At the same time, Joseph received the latest progress from the reclusive families. He heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the negotiation table.

"Doctor Qiao, we can start talking again now."

Qiao Nian looked at his smug expression. She raised her lower lip and looked at him impatiently. Her words were very direct. "You're known as the reclusive families, but you're threatening me with the dignity of an ordinary person. You're even smug about it. Why? Is this your principle?"

The expressions of Joseph and the royal bodyguards changed.

She had exposed them. She did not show any mercy and directly slapped the faces of the self-proclaimed noble reclusive families!

Joseph was faintly smiling, but he dropped it now. His ears were hot, but he said without batting an eyelid, "Extreme times. Extreme methods. Doctor Qiao is an adult. Adults should understand our way of handling things. Children are the ones who fight for their pride. Adults only consider the results."
