Chapter 479: Traitor?

Hearing Qin Yue’s words, Qin Xinying responded excitedly, “Grandpa, you can rest assured, I won’t let you down!”

…

Lin Yuan was having a meeting with Lu Li, when his cell phone suddenly rang. He frowned, muted his phone, shrugged and said jokingly, “It must be from that beauty last night. She must be terribly missing me.”

Lu Li took a look at Lin Yuan and continued to talk about what he just said. However, soon Lin Yuan’s phone rang again. Lu Li took a breath and looked at Lin Yuan. “Just pick up the call.”

Lin Yuan took a glance at his cell phone and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the caller ID. “It’s from China?”

Lu Li frowned. “Is it from Qiao Liang?”

“No idea.” Lin Yuan said and picked up the call. “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” A woman’s voice rang out. She paused and said, “Didn’t you promise me that you would do me a favor if I took Qiao Liang away from that Pacific island? Now…”

“Wait a minute.” Lin Yuan interrupted her and said with a smile, “Did you succeed in taking him away? I remember you failed, didn’t you?!”

“You can’t go back on your words!” The woman’s voice turned cold. “Aren’t you afraid that I tell Qiao Liang what you did to him? What do you think he will do to you if he knows you betrayed him?”

“Come on, Miss Qin, that’s not what we agreed on. You failed to do what I asked you to do. Or to be exact, you failed in every single task I gave to you, right? Are you threatening me?” Lin Yuan sneered and took a look at the pen in his hand. His voice suddenly became cold. “Do you want to die?”

The other side of the line fell into a long silence. Lin Yuan snorted. “If I were you, I wouldn’t have made this call. Do you know what I hate most? What I hate most is to be threatened.”

Lin Yuan said and hung up.

Lu Li looked at Lin Yuan and frowned. “Qin Xinying?”

Lin Yuan shrugged. “Yes.”

“Do you know her?” Lu Li narrowed his eyes.

Feeling Lu Li’s stare, Lin Yuan jumped up. “Hey, don’t give me this look! It’s scary.”

“You’d better give me a good reason why you know Qin Xinying.” Lu Li had no good impression on Qin Xinying. As far as he knew, this woman played tricks to stop Qin Xinying and Tang Xi from seeing each other and had a part in that air crash, so he disliked her.

But Lin Yuan knew this vicious woman?

…

On this side of things, Qiao Liang was receiving a call. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang Xi who had fallen asleep and walked to the balcony with a dark face. “What’s up?”

“Young Master, I’ve found that the one who has been contacting Qin Xinying is no one else but Mr. Nine.” The one on the other side of the line said hesitantly. From what he knew about Qiao Liang, he’d better tell him the truth.

Qiao Liang frowned and looked far into the distance. “Lin Yuan?”

“Yes, we have no idea why Mr. Nine would contact Qin Xinying. Young Master, should we continue to investigate this matter? Or…” This matter concerned the bosses of Long Xiao. They dared not act rashly.

Now he just wanted to bump his head against the wall. Why did he get involved in this matter?!

They didn’t want to get involved in the strife among the bosses!

Qiao Liang remained silent for a long time. The agent thought Qiao Liang had hung up the call and called carefully, “Young Master?”

Qiao Liang came back to himself. “Don’t continue to investigate it.”

…

“That’s how it went. How could I know that woman would pester me like this.” Lin Yuan curled his lips. “That was a real wet blanket. How dare that woman threaten me?! I’m gonna change my phone number!”

“Didn’t you think about the consequences before you did that? If Qiao Liang finds out about it, you’ll be doomed.” Lu Li frowned. “You’d better call Ah Liang and explain to him. I think he will definitely investigate this matter. When he finds out that it’s you who leaked his whereabouts, you will get into serious trouble.”

“Oh, he is now head over heels in love with his little girlfriend and has no time to investigate me! I heard Little Five complained that his Young Master left them behind again and took his girlfriend to travel. So I’m safe.” Lin Yuan didn’t think Qiao Liang would bother to investigate him.

Lin Yuan cast a helpless glance at Lin Yuan who wasn’t worried at all and sighed. “I hope you can still be so casual when you are being beaten up by Qiao Liang.”

“Hey, don’t try to frighten me, alright?” Lin Yuan shrugged and said, “Let’s continue the meeting…”

Before he finished talking, his cell phone rang. It was a video call from Qiao Liang.

Lin Yuan stared at the screen of his cellphone in fright. “Shouldn’t this guy be sleeping at this time?”

Lu Li took a look at Lin Yuan. “You’d better confess to him.” Then he picked up the call.

Qiao Liang’s face appeared on the screen. Lin Yuan greeted Qiao Liang with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be accompanying your little girlfriend? Why do you have the time to chat with us?”

Qiao Liang took a look at Lin Yuan, took a document and read it. Then he looked deeply at Lin Yuan with unfathomable eyes. Being stared at by him like this, Lin Yuan shivered. Lu Li asked, “It’s late now. What’s up?”

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and still stared at Lin Yuan expressionlessly. “Did you have your men track me and leak my whereabouts to others?”

Lin Yuan paused and then took a look at Lu Li accusingly. “You jinx!”

Lu Li shrugged. “God bless you.”

Qiao Liang listened to their conversation and looked at Lin Yuan again. “Why did you do those things?”

“I didn’t do those things out of bad intentions. At first, I wanted to help you get Tang Xi back, and then I wanted to take you home from the Pacific Ocean. That woman seemed to really care about you, so I asked her to persuade you to forget Tang Xi. Who knows that the woman is so vicious!” Seeing Qiao Liang’s face was getting darker and darker, he hurriedly explained, “You were so depressed at the time. How could I, your good buddy, just sit by and do nothing?! I couldn’t watch you go and die, but you didn’t listen to us… Besides, since you were together with Rourou, I have never contacted that woman again.”
