Chapter 330: Wharf

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

The meeting today ended perfectly. As the new president of the Empire Entertainment, Tang Xi went to visit Empire Entertainment. She was not quite familiar with entertainment companies, so she decided to make use of the two-hour break to visit the Empire Entertainment to get the lay of the land and see whether the actors and actresses of the Empire Entertainment had enough potential for her to promote them.

Her assistant and Qiao Liang who suddenly appeared followed her. Little Six didn’t follow her because now his ‘identity was special’. In the car, Tang Xi noticed Qiao Liang looked very tired. She was a bit worried, but she didn’t want to play lovey dovey with Qiao Liang in front of her assistant, so she just asked in a low voice, “Why do you look so tired? Is it because of your job?”

Qiao Liang rubbed between his eyebrows and shook his head. “No, I just had a bit of a problem, but it has been solved. It’s not a big deal.”

Two hours ago, on the wharf.

“Young Master, the ship will reach the shore in half an hour.” Little Five in a long black coat was standing behind Qiao Liang.

It was already cold at the end of October. Qiao Liang was in a black suit and a long coat. He stood on the wharf and looked at the ship which could be seen in the distance as he said, “This shipment must not have anything wrong with it.”

Little Five nodded. “I’ve arranged it. This shipment won’t have anything wrong with it. We’ve even told the military about it.”

Qiao Liang grunted. “Better safe than sorry. These goods must be shipped out of the capital as soon as possible. If the ship can’t reach the shore, make a departure record and let the ship go straight across the dock, understand?”

“I see. I’ll handle it, Young Master.”

Seeing the ship getting closer and closer, Little Five said in a low voice, “Young Master, you can go first. Leave here to me. As long as the ship leaves the wharf, it won’t have any problems.”

Qiao Liang nodded, when they suddenly heard car horns. Qiao Liang frowned and took a look at Little Five. The latter nodded and called his men to quickly leave the wharf. Qiao Liang put his hand into his pocket and looked sober. He looked at the ship slowly approaching the wharf, and gave an imperceptible smile.

Just then, several cars drove up and stopped behind Qiao Liang. Several men got out of the car and their chief was in a dark green trench coat. He looked deeply at Qiao Liang and strode up to him as he said, “President Qiao, are you so idle as to come here to see the sunrise?”

“Xiao… Mr. Xiao, you’re late.” Qiao Liang turned to look at the sun already high in the sky and smiled. “The sun has quickly risen. It seems that Mr. Xiao has missed the chance to enjoy the sunrise.”

Xiao Yao looked back at the men following him and they all went towards the wharf. Qiao Liang looked at them and his eyes had a gleam of mockery. He then took a casual look at Xiao Yao as he said, “When did Mr. Xiao begin to work for the anti-terrorism troops?”

“I don’t work for them, but actually assist them.” Xiao Yao looked at Qiao Liang and coldly said, “But I hope President Qiao can respect yourself and leave my sister alone…”

“Mr. Xiao, you think too much. I just came here to see the sunrise.” Qiao Liang looked at Xiao Yao and said flatly, “As you know, my girlfriend is in the capital recently. I was worried about her, so I followed her here. And I merely came out to see the sunrise this morning. Does Mr. Xiao think I don’t have the right to come out to see a sunrise?”

Looking at Xiao Yao’s cold face, Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “Is it because you have a crush on me that you track me so?”

Xiao Yao said solemnly, “I hope you really just came here to see the sunrise as you said.”

Qiao Liang didn’t look at him and turned his gaze to the ship that was slowing approaching the wharf. He then asked, “Mr. Xiao, aren’t you going yet?”

Xiao Yao took a look at Qiao Liang, walked forward and stopped beside Qiao Liang. “President Qiao, since you claim you just came here for the sunrise, I guess you won’t interfere with public office, right?”

Qiao Liang smiled, raised his eyebrows and turned to leave. “Then I won’t bother you, Mr. Xiao.” Qiao Liang took two steps, looked back at Xiao Yao’s back and frowned. “Now you… forget it. I wish you success, Mr. Xiao.”

Xiao Yao frowned, looked at his receding figure and called to him. “President Qiao.”

Qiao Liang turned around and Xiao Yao said seriously, “I don’t care what you do, but I hope you don’t implicate Rourou.”

Qiao Liang’s face immediately turned icy. He squinted at Xiao Yao and coldly said, “I don’t need you to tell me this!” Then he turned to walk out of the wharf.

A car was waiting for him just outside of the wharf. Little Five hurriedly got in the car and asked anxiously, “Young Master, what shall we do? The ship is going to reach the shore!”

Qiao Liang rubbed between his eyebrows, and looked out of the window. The ship was going to arrive at the wharf indeed. He took a look at his watch and smiled, saying, “Go to the south side.”

“South side?” Little Five looked at Qiao Liang in surprise. The latter looked back at the people on the wharf as he said, “Since he has been chasing me for so long, it’ll be rude if I don’t go to see him.”

Xiao Yao watch Qiao Liang’s car drive away, and turned around to search with his men. His eyes had an unfathomable gleam. Since Qiao Liang left so easily, it meant that what they were looking for was not on the ship.

In the Venus Hotel of the capital, a handsome white man was sitting on the soft chair of the balcony and leisurely sipping a cup of Whisky in his hand. Just when he felt he was going to be intoxicated by the tasty liquor, the door suddenly opened. He frowned and looked back only to see Qiao Liang in black appear in front of him. The smile on his handsome face froze and the corner of his eyes twitched. “Did you just attend a funeral?”

Qiao Liang stared at this good looking Caucasian face before him and frowned. “Tear off the stupid mask!”

“Why? Now I’m the famous Jayce!” Lin Yuan touched his skin mask and leered at Qiao Liang. “Are you jealous of my handsomeness?”

“No.” Qiao Liang took off the coat and threw it to the sofa as he asked, “Have you fixed that problem?”

“Of course. There is no problem in the world that I can’t fix.” Lin Yuan sat down on the sofa. “But I should thank you for handling it in time, or those people would have followed me to the wharf. Why are you so sure that they will follow you there when you get to the wharf on the west side?”
