Chapter 2656: They Still Wanted to Scam Sister Nian

Leonard did not believe a word she said, not one bit.

It was just that he was on the Empress’s side.

Therefore, regardless of whether he believed it or not, he had to stand on Ji Ziyin’s side and clean up her mess for her. “You’ve implicated the Empress this time.”

Ji Ziyin’s face turned pale for a moment. She pinched the skin on her palm and lowered her head slightly. Looking at her toes, she apologized in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s footsteps. “I’m sorry.”

She did not really think saying “sorry” was useful, did she?

Leonard looked at her with disdain and almost mocked her, but he held it in and walked to the window with a wave of his hand. “Now that things have come to this, this matter is no longer yours alone. Whether you enter the Privy Council or not is already tied to the Empress’s face. I will try my best to ensure that you enter! Think about it carefully. Do you have anything on the other party?”

Ji Ziyin looked up, her almond-shaped eyes flashing as she hesitated.

The hooked-nosed old man was furious, and he couldn’t help but scold her. “She has so much on you, but you can’t even get a hold of her weakness?” What did the Empress see in her?!

Ji Ziyin reacted as if she had been slapped. She took a deep breath and thought for a long time before hesitantly saying, “I’ve investigated her before. She seems to have helped Country Z get the Qi family’s research results. It’s the latest chip on the market now. Back then, it was the Qi family who researched it first, but it was a research team from Country Z that announced it first. The Qi family protested to the World Software Association. Later, she used her influence in the illegal district to force the Software Association to admit the legality of Country Ts plagiarized chip technology…

“This matter caused a huge commotion in the illegal district back then. Many people knew about it, but Lu Zhi put a lid on it later on.”

Tian Chen had absolute control over the illegal district. Lu Zhi was the uncrowned king of the area.

If Lu Zhi did not want anyone to mention this, not many people in the illegal district would dare to.

Back then, Ji Ziyin had found out from He Lin that Qiao Nian was a direct descendant of the Ji family. She had gotten someone to investigate this matter, but she did not learn much.

“If this is true, it should be something that can be used against her.” Ji Ziyin hesitated and whispered uneasily, “There’s also her messy relationship…”

Leonard had thought that she would be able to tell him something substantial that could be used against Qiao Nian, but it turned out to be a ‘small matter’.

The issue was that their opponent had thrown out concrete evidence of plagiarism. They were about how she had taken over other people’s research results and stolen them… She even had a human life lawsuit in her possession.

What Ji Ziyin brought up was nothing compared to what she had been exposed for!

The hook-nosed old man could only follow the principle that something was better than nothing. He nodded and said, “Now, we can only lead the conflict

with her identity as an Easterner!”

No matter how bad Ji Ziyin was, she was still from the independent continent.

It was enough that Qiao Nian had a stain on her reputation. After all, she was not from their race, but from the East!

He quickly contacted the Neutral Faction now that he got hold of something.

He originally thought that the archbishop would find an excuse to reject him again, but he did not expect the other party to pick up the call this time. He conveyed his and the Empress’s thoughts and also mentioned the stain that Ji Ziyin mentioned…

Leonard said, “Our Privy Council has never accepted Easterners. Since she’s unwilling to change her nationality and has a stain on her reputation, we have no reason to accept such a person.”

After finishing, unsure if the Neutral Faction would stand on their side, he had no choice but to bring up the Empress again. “The Empress thinks the same..”
