“Empress, should we teach him a lesson?” Shadow appeared beside her and asked in a low voice as he looked in the car’s direction.

Nie Qingru suppressed her anger and got into the car expressionlessly. Then, she said coldly, “He’s Xie Tingyun’s benefactor and has a connection with the Nan family of the independent continent. He’s also a respected master. There’s no need for us to fall out with him over a small matter…”

Although she said that, she actually felt suffocated.

Shadow hesitated for a moment before looking at her and saying, “Empress, Mr. Auburn said that Miss Ji Qing studied electromagnetic cannons back then…”

Nie Qingru’s tense body was like a bow leaning against the car. She lowered her eyes, and her dark eyebrows gave off an unreasonable feeling.

After a long while, she said faintly, “I won’t believe anything without evidence!”

Shadow looked at her in a daze. “But with Mr. Auburn’s prestige, he won’t lie about such a matter…”

Nie Qingru held onto the wide brim of her hat. She was graceful and elegant, but she was stubborn on this matter. “If she had already built the electromagnetic cannon, why didn’t she tell me? She never said anything, which means she didn’t succeed in the end!”

“But…”

“Didn’t that old man Auburn also say that Ji Qing only showed him an 80% finished product back then? She must have failed to finish it.”

Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to fail after completing 80% of the finished product.

But Shadow had seen through her attitude, so he stopped talking and said considerately, “Empress, let me close the car door for you.”

The black car door blocked Nie Qingru’s cold and arrogant face, and the black car soon drove past Shadow…

Shadow stood on the spot and watched the tail of the car disappear from his sight. Then, he composed himself and walked towards the exhibition hall.

Young Master Qi was still inside.

The Empress left Young Master Qi behind. He couldn’t just ignore him.

“How come?”

“Why is this the result?”

“That’s impossible.”

Qiao Nian and the others’ results had been out for a long time, but Li Xin was still standing there in disbelief, muttering to himself.

The bearded man couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped him on the back in an attempt to wake him up. “The results are out. Number 18 did get first place!”

Li Xin mechanically turned to look at him and asked, “They got first place?”

The bearded man frowned and woke him up coldly. “Li Xin, there’s no point in being conflicted like this. You’re a man. If you lose, so be it! She didn’t ask you to kneel or anything like that… Just apologize properly and do what you have to do.”

When Li Xin made the bet back then, he did not leave any leeway for Qiao Nian. He was certain he would win, so he asked Qiao Nian to kneel and apologize to him in front of everyone.

Compared to his conditions, Qiao Nian’s conditions were not harsh.

So now that he had lost, no one would sympathize with him.

However, Li Xin’s face was ashen. Suddenly waking up, he pushed the bearded man away and fiercely said, “Why should I apologize?! I…”

The bearded man was caught off guard and staggered. Seeing that he was a sore loser, he immediately waved his hand and left. “Up to you!”

“Don’t go!” Li Xin panicked again when he saw he was about to leave.

Unfortunately, the bearded man had no intention of putting up with him anymore. He left without looking back, leaving him alone.
