There was only one possibility—Lu Zhi and the reclusive families knew each other!
Jian Jin did not dare to look into her eyes. After a long time, she replied with a guilty expression, "They're in contact. They have some business dealings."
Liar!
Qiao Nian could tell at a glance that Jian Jin was hiding a guilty conscience. She could tell that Jian Jin was lying almost in a second, but she did not expose her. After all, now was not the time to fuss over such trivial matters.
She paused, pursed her lips, and rubbed her eyebrows. Then, she said, "Do you know that the royal family of Country M is looking for a doctor?"
"You're talking about the reward on the black market?" Jian Jin reacted quickly. She was very smart and immediately understood what Qiao Nian meant. "Y-You're going to treat them?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately refused. "No, you can't go!"
Qiao Nian calmly asked, "Why?"
"Because…" Jian Jin felt as if she had been seen through. For a moment, her mind was blank and she couldn't think of a good excuse. She could only say, "Anyway, you can't go. Qiao, it's too dangerous!"
Of course, Qiao Nian knew the danger of taking the initiative to visit. After all, the reclusive families were not to be trifled with. However, in the current situation, she could not think of a better solution.
"If I don't go, no one can help him."
Jian Jin was clearly conflicted. After hesitating for some time, she finally shook her head. "No, he won't forgive me if anything happens to you."
Lu Zhi would not forgive himself, either!
"I still have unfinished business in the independent continent. I won't stay in Country M for long. If you still want to save him, recommend me to them as a doctor according to my plan. I'll think of a way to find him during the treatment time." Qiao Nian had already made up her mind.
Without waiting for Jian Jin to refuse, she concisely said, "My time is limited. Think carefully."
Jian Jin fell silent.
The atmosphere in the private room became solemn.
The others could not say a word and could only listen to them.
Qiao Nian did not want to stay here for too long. She pulled out the chair and stood up, then said to Jian Jin, who was still in a dilemma, "Think about it. Message me when you're ready."
She looked at the others in the private room, then back at Jian Jin. She bent down and grabbed her cell phone on the coffee table, then leisurely said, "I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, she walked out of the private room without looking back.
The door closed with a 'click'.
The terrifying pressure disappeared as soon as Qiao Nian left.
Only then did the others dare to breathe heavily.
Seeing that she had already left, the curly-haired woman looked at Jian Jin, who was still holding her head and seemed to be thinking about what the girl said.
She murmured with concern, "a.s.sistant Jian, who is this person? S-She and CEO Lu don't just know each other, right? But looking at her age, she doesn't seem to be…"
That girl looked young. No matter how one looked at it, she did not seem to be the age of a big shot.
She really could not understand why the energetic, capable, and calm Jian Jin lost her usual collectedness in front of that girl.
Jian Jin was feeling vexed and distraught since she received no news from Lu Zhi. At the woman's gossip, she looked at her coldly. "You don't know that Tian Chen has two founders?"
"You're saying that she's…?!" The woman abruptly stopped. Thinking of her previous att.i.tude and words, her face turned pale from fear.
Oh no.
Did she say something wrong?
