"We'll talk about it after the surgery ends!" Lei Ting said expressionlessly.
There was another long silence outside the operating theater.
Leonard was not around, and Lei Ting was the leader of this group. He said he wanted to wait, so the others could only wait despite their anger.
Soon, the tightly shut door opened. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖
A doctor in scrubs and a surgical cap walked out.
The people outside immediately swarmed over and surrounded the doctor.
"Doctor, how is it?"
"Doctor, is the patient inside awake?"
"Doctor, the patient…"
Everyone was asking about Leonard.
The middle-aged doctor took off his mask and hesitated before shaking his head with a regretful expression. "I'm sorry. The patient was unconscious when he arrived. We tried our best to save him, but the bullet happened to be in the patient's heart. We can't take it out. So…"
The doctor was regretful. "I'm very sorry!"
This 'very sorry' declared Leonard's death.
Besides Ji Ziyin, who was inconspicuous in the corner, everyone else present was stunned.
Elder Leo was dead?
He died just like that?
They did not dare to imagine how the family would react when they learned of this news. How would the reclusive families react? And the Privy Council, the Empress…
Everyone's mind went blank, and they were unable to regain their senses for a long time.
At this moment, Ji Ziyin walked over, looked at Lei Ting with clear eyes, and sadly said, "My condolences."
Lei Ting's bloodshot eyes looked at her in a daze. His palm was a little bloodied by his fingernails.
Ji Ziyin patted his shoulder comfortingly and asked, "Now, can you tell me how Elder Leo was ambushed and shot? Who the hell did this?"
The last question was so loud that even the deaf could hear it!
Lei Ting seemed to wake up. He looked at her with bloodshot eyes and spat, "Qiao Nian."
**
At the villa in the city center.
Feng Yu kept making and receiving calls.
Mo Dong and Mo Xi also came over.
Qiao Nian found a comfortable spot on the sofa and sat down with her laptop on her lap. She looked down as if she was checking something.
Ye Wangchuan was not far away, also waiting for news.
Gu San made a few cups of tea and placed one in front of each. Then, he stood up and softly asked the girl, "Miss Qiao, have you found any clues?"
"No." Qiao Nian pulled out all the surveillance cameras near the hotel. Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras on one of the roads were broken.
Coincidentally, the situation was the same as the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot. The memory cards had been destroyed.
The surveillance cameras themselves had been smashed.
"The other party did a clean job. They didn't leave any clues behind." Qiao Nian's fair fingers left the keyboard and she leaned back against the sofa.
Ye Wangchuan had also checked the surveillance cameras and the people Leonard had been in contact with recently. Hearing this, he asked Qiao Nian, "Who do you think did it?"
Qiao Nian glanced at him and shook her head with rare frustration. "I'm not sure."
She suspected the attack on Leonard was an internal struggle between the reclusive families, or perhaps Nie Qingru had men by his side?
But that did not make sense, either.
