Chapter 3655: Those People from the Privy Council Won’t Let You Off

Shadow tightened his neck and said with difficulty, “Empress, we have lost contact not only with Young Master Xicheng but also with all the ships in the high seas.”

Nie Qingru loosened her grip slightly.

Shadow could breathe a little. “Someone took down the satellite network, causing all the signals in that area to be cut off. It’s difficult for us to find the detailed location of Young Master Xicheng’s ship through the satellite signals.”

The veins on the back of Nie Qingru’s hand bulged. Without hesitation, she squeezed out a name: “Qiao Nian.”

Shadow raised his head and looked at her. His eyes showed emotion, but he did not dare to say anything.

The current situation was obviously caused by Qiao Nian. Only she had the ability and courage to cut off the entire high seas satellite network.

“I’ve already asked the hackers of the reclusive families to decipher the Trojan Horse program as soon as possible and restore the satellite positioning signal in that sea area.

“It’s just that… you know her ability. I reckon the Trojan Horse program won’t be deciphered for a while.”

The Red Alliance’s Sun’s renown was not for nothing.

Qiao Nian released a few programs on the market. Be it Trojan Horse, virus, or iris verification, all of them were top-notch technology.

The hackers they cultivated were not bad.

However, compared to a hacker king like Qiao Nian, who came from an unorthodox background, the difference was not only in strength but also in her treacherous thinking when designing Trojan Horses.

Qiao Nian’s viruses had never been that complex. It was just that no one could guess her thoughts.

She always placed the loophole in deciphering the virus in an unexpected place. This was the most difficult part…

“Her target should be Young Master Xicheng.”

“Of course, I know what she wants to do!” Nie Qingru couldn’t breathe properly, so she naturally couldn’t control her temper.

In a rare moment of lost composure, she paced around, but the situation in front of her forced her to be unable to calm down and think of a solution.

Nie Qingru suddenly stopped halfway. “No, I can’t wait anymore!”

Shadow saw her rush over with a sullen expression and anger in her eyes. “Use my name to pressure Beijing.”

“Empress?”

“Put pressure on them in the business dealings and make my request. Tell them that if anyone touches that ship, I will destroy the business cooperation project I agreed to at all costs!”

With Smith Bank in her possession, she naturally had the capital to say harsh words.

If Nie Qingru insisted on tampering with the bank settlement system, not to mention how much she would lose, she would definitely cause huge losses to many companies in Beijing.

She was threatening the other party to stop even if it would cause collateral damage.

Of course, Shadow understood her plan, but he reminded her. “Empress, if the Privy Council finds out, I’m afraid…”

Elder Xue and the others were already extremely dissatisfied with the Empress.

If the Empress insisted on destroying the business cooperation, who knew how much trouble the Privy Council would cause?

They weren’t in a good situation in the Privy Council.

Although the conservatives, led by Elder Xue, appeared to be on the Empress’ side, in reality, Elder Xue only set out for the benefit of the reclusive families and did not listen to the Empress.

The radical faction they once firmly controlled gradually became loose after Leonard’s death. They began to lean towards neutrality and no longer followed the Empress’ orders.

As for the Church…

The archbishop had never taken them seriously. There were not many conflicts between the two sides, but the neutral faction led by the archbishop was a tough nut to crack. None of them were to be trifled with.
