Chapter 2979 Ji Lin Also Discovered Nie Qixing's Abnormality

Ye Wangchuan's expression was cold and solemn, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes. He stood by the window and indifferently said, "She did not mention anything about it."

Mo Xi was even more embarrassed. He wished he could hide somewhere.

"I guessed it." Ye Wangchuan said calmly, "I did ask her, but she didn't say anything."

"Master Wang, I'm sorry." In his embarrassment, Mo Xi felt a little guilty. He mainly felt that his suspicion of Qiao Nian's slip of the tongue just now had made him… unable to raise his head.

Ye Wangchuan could not be bothered to reason with him and only reminded, "Tell Ji Lin she's mine. I can't even bear to say anything about her, let alone allow others to gossip. Bright Gate can't afford to hire someone more honorable than Madam! If he doesn't understand this, he doesn't have a place in Bright Gate." So harsh!

Mo Xi immediately lost all hope. He understood Qiao Nian's place in Ye Wangchuan's heart more and more. He calmed down and said with a serious expression, "I understand, Master Wang. I'll pass it on to him."

Ye Wangchuan hung up.

Hearing the busy tone, Mo Xi understood they had stepped on Master Wang's red line this time.

He was implicated by Ji Lin, but he did not quibble.

Ji Lin happened to be there. Mo Xi put down his cell phone and walked toward him. "I have something to tell you."

Ji Lin was with a few of Bright Gate's subordinates in Country M and was tracking Shadow. He stared at the tracking location on the computer and said without looking up, "If you have something to say, just say it. I'm busy right now." Mo Xi saw Shadow's location information on the computer. He looked at the red dot on the screen. "Did you find his location?"

Ji Lin briefly looked at him before turning back to the computer. "No. I don't think he plans to stay in Country M for long. He should be leaving today."

At this point, Ji Lin frowned, and his expression became complicated. "It's strange. Our people detected he stopped at Kevlar Hotel for a short time and planned to leave Country M after that…"

Logically speaking, Shadow most likely came to Country M to meet someone in Kevlar's.

Only one relevant thing was happening at Kevlar Hotel today—Nie Qixing's birthday banquet!

Ji Lin was puzzled. "Could it be that there's really something different about this Nie Qixing? Shadow is second only to the Empress. Or rather, the Empress rarely shows her face in public! If the Empress has anything to say or do, it's usually done through him… To a certain extent, Shadow can be considered the Empress' spokesperson."

Mo Xi was not in the mood to listen to his analysis, but he roughly understood the main point. "So you admit you misunderstood Miss Qiao previously."

Ji Lin's mind was originally filled with thoughts about Nie Qixing's background. At his brainless question, he looked at him in confusion.

Seeing that he still did not know that he had provoked Master Wang, Mo Xi took a deep breath and pulled him outside before conveying Ye Wangchuan's intention.

He also deliberately spoke with a serious expression.

Ji Lin was embarrassed. He touched his nose awkwardly. "Then what should I do? I'll apologize to Miss Qiao later?"
