1702 Master Wang Is Jealous!
Their eyes met. The corners of his lips curled up and he raised his eyebrows. His voice was low and hoarse as he spoke. “I heard that you spent a billion to snatch the goods from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?”
Qiao Nian was speechless.
Did the news spread so quickly?
She did not answer immediately. She lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something.
He continued, “I also heard that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s network was attacked by an unknown hacker half an hour ago. The network and power supply at their headquarters were all shut down…
“The Hacker’s Alliance says it was not one of them.
“…This technique is very similar to the Red Alliance’s Sun.”
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids again and glanced at him with her dark eyes. She raised her hand to pull down her cap, only to realize that she had already taken it off and placed it on the table when she entered the room.
She reached out to grab something but only felt the air. Then, she put her hand down dryly and pursed her lips. After two seconds of silence, she realized that something was wrong.
“Even if I did it, you didn’t know I was in the Independent Continent before…” So why did it feel like he was settling scores?
Ye Wangchuan chuckled. That was not his intention at all. He walked over and pushed aside the fringe covering her eyes. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Ten days ago, a batch of goods from the Ye family was stolen. The person in charge of transporting the goods disappeared along with them. That person was introduced to the Ye family’s transport team. Some of the elders of the family asked me to give them an explanation, so I brought some people to investigate this matter.”
He told Qiao Nian everything without needing her to ask.
“I’ve found out about Torre from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but I suspect someone is behind him. I’ve arranged for someone to disguise themselves as an overseas force to attend the meeting like Master Cheng and the others and sneak into the hotel. They saw the conflict between you and Torre at the auction and heard that Torre is looking for trouble with you. They reported it to me later.
“I heard them say that someone in Master Cheng’s team spent a billion to snatch what Torre wanted to auction, so I thought of you.”
His voice was low and charming. His breath brushed on her face. They were so close that they seemed to be able to touch each other if they lowered their heads.
Qiao Nian was still immersed in the information he had revealed and didn’t notice that he was so close to her.
He chuckled and looked at the girl. His tone was gentle as he continued, “After that, I called Master Cheng and asked him. I found out that you were the one who came to the Independent Continent this year, so I came to look for you.”
“Then how did you know that I was the hacker…” Qiao Nian looked up and suddenly realized that they were too close. Her voice trailed off.
However, he hooked her fingers and played with them gently. He lowered his eyes and said slowly, “Because I captured Torre.”
Qiao Nian’s attention had been attracted by his small actions. Hearing this, she ignored the tingling sensation on her fingers and looked at him in surprise.
Even if she did not know his previous plan, she could guess that he had not arranged for someone to sneak into the Paradise Hotel to use such a simple and crude method to control Torre. He must be trying to catch a big fish!
However, he was very calm. His thumb curled around her slender and beautiful pinky.
In a good mood, his beautiful eyes stared straight at Qiao Nian. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “So, God Qiao, do you want to explain to me what happened with you and Ji Nan at the entrance just now?”
