However, they couldn’t touch Zhong Yiliu for now. The Pharmacy Association was not big, but the big shots in the illegal district and Continent F owed them a lot of favors.
For example, Lu Zhi owed Zhong Yiliu a favor.
Therefore, this ‘Great Herbalist’ was not someone she could casually vent her anger on.
Nie Qingru quickly said, “Qiao Nian called him over to treat Ji Lingfeng. Ignore Zhong Yiliu before the others from the Pharmacy Association take action.”
“Okay.” Shadow obeyed her order.
...Nie Qingru saw that Miss Sapor was about to go on the stage under a beam of light. She waved at the silent man and ordered, “Go about your work.”
“Yes.”
Shadow hid in the darkness, as usual.

When Nie Qingru turned around to look in the three o’clock direction, an inconspicuous waiter came out of the kitchen with champagne.
She placed the missing champagne on the table and returned to her original position.
At this moment, the tall foreign man glanced at her and said with a low voice, “You don’t know that not long after you left, the big shot in the first row looked back at us for a long time. She seemed to be looking for someone. I wonder who she was looking for. At that time, many people followed her gaze and looked at us. It was scary.”
“Oh.”
The girl responded indifferently as if it had nothing to do with her.
The tall foreign man sized her up. Noticing Qiao Nian’s cold attitude, he did not say anything. He only muttered, “Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. If she wants to find someone, it must be a guest. She definitely won’t look for a waiter like us…”
This time, Qiao Nian couldn’t even be bothered to brush him off. Her bright eyes behind the thick black-framed glasses glanced at the back of the person in the first row.
This time, she restrained herself. Her calm gaze did not attract Nie Qingru’s attention, who was watching the commotion on the stage.
The banquet had already begun.
Most of the lights in the hall were extinguished. Besides barely maintaining the light around them, all the lights were focused on the stage.
Dressed in the high-end clothes of the G brand, the eldest daughter of the Sapor family stood on the stage and spoke into the microphone. She talked about world peace, paying attention to the lives of poor civilians, war, and other topics.
Qiao Nian’s temples throbbed uncontrollably as she listened to the hypocritical speech. She felt as if someone had knocked her head with a clapper, making her scalp tingle. She felt vexed.
At this moment, Miss Sapor paused for a few seconds, and a round of enthusiastic applause sounded from below the stage.
If not for the fact that she knew very well how many of the guests at tonight’s banquet had relied on sucking blood from others to get rich and obtain their current status, she would believe that these people were philanthropists who cared about the lives of the poor.
However, the truth was the opposite.
Even people like Nie Qingru were used to being arrogant and lording over others. Besides the people in their circle, everyone else was just ants in their eyes.
Who would really care about the life and death of an ant that they could casually crush, let alone gather together to donate money to an ant?
Donating money was just a headliner!
The so-called high society charity banquet was essentially just a social gathering for the same class and the transfer of benefits through auctions.
Qiao Nian’s eyelids twitched. She looked at the people on stage giving passionate speeches and then at the guests below clapping and smiling fakely.
Under the dim light, she took out the candy Ye Wangchuan gave her before they left and threw it into her mouth.
