Chapter 164: Fear
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Mei Aiyuan turned a frown at the man and said in a cold voice, “Ah Da, stop this man! No one is allowed to take Lin Jiao out of my hands today!”
As soon as Mei Aiyuan spoke, several bouncers came up and stopped Yang Qimo. He put one hand in his trouser pocket and glanced at the bouncers before looking over at Mei Aiyuan and saying with a smile, “Mrs. Chen, this is not a good way to welcome guests.”
Lin Jiao looked at the handsome man and her heart beat fast. She shouted, “You’re the general manager from Furao International, aren’t you? I’m the one you’re trying to save. Get me out of here!” Then she frowned and asked, “You came here alone?”
Mei Aiyuan looked at Yang Qimo and tried to dig up information about him in her mind. After a while, she finally remembered who Yang Qimo was. “I’m sorry, President Yang, but no one is allowed to take Lin Jiao away without my permission today, and that includes you,” she said coldly.
Yang Qimo raised his eyebrows at Mei Aiyuan’s words and then turned towards Lin Jiao. “Is she Lin Jiao?” he asked.
Mei Aiyuan paused, while Lin Jiao frowned angrily. What was wrong with this man? Was he a fool? How could he not find out how she looked like before he came to save her? Damn it! She would definitely ask Lin Ru to fire this man after she was rescued!
“Yes, I’m Lin Jiao. Just give this woman the money I owe her and take me away!” said Lin Jiao impatiently. “Hurry up!”
Yang Qimo had a twinkle of disgust in his eyes, but he still gave a smile to Lin Jiao as he blinked and asked, “Why should I pay back your debt for you?”

Lin Jiao paused. Mei Aiyuan asked with a frown, “President Yang, what do you mean?”
Yang Qimo spread his hands, leaned against the doorframe and looked at Mei Aiyuan. “As you can see, Mrs. Chen, someone asked me to come here to keep an eye on a woman named Lin Jiao and not let her escape, but it seems that Mrs. Chen won’t let her run away even if I’m not here. That being the case, can I leave now?” After a pause, Yang Qimo smiled again and continued, “But I know Mrs. Chen must be afraid of me tipping off someone after leaving here. To reassure you, I will have a cup of tea here. After Mrs. Chen finishes dealing with this woman, I’ll take her away.”
Mei Aiyuan sent a hesitant look at Yang Qimo, but then frowned and asked, “President Yang, you said that someone asked you to come here to keep an eye on Lin Jiao and not let her escape. Who is that person?”
Yang Qimo shrugged as he shifted his eyes onto Lin Jiao. “This woman’s enemy, of course.”
Lin Jiao’s heart jerked sharply, while Mei Aiyuan finally gave a smile. She turned to the pale-faced Lin Jiao with a faint curve on her lips and asked, “Is that person’s surname Xiao?”
Yang Qimo raised his eyebrows and with a smile, he replied, “It’s not convenient for me to reveal that, Mrs. Chen. Please do whatever you want to do to her. Of course, don’t let her die, or else I can’t explain to that person.”
Mei Aiyuan smiled. Just then, Lin Jiao suddenly pushed away a bouncer and tried to escape. Mei Aiyuan ordered the bouncers to restrain her and then asked her men to serve Yang Qimo a cup of tea, following which she sat opposite to him and said with a smile, “As long as President Yang tells me where you’re going to take Lin Jiao and what you’re going to do to her, I’ll know what to do. Otherwise, if I accidentally kill or disable this woman, that person won’t be able to get what they want. That’s not good, is it?”

Hearing Mei Aiyuan’s words, Lin Jiao cried out, “Release me! You’re breaking the law. You’ll be put into jail!”
Mei Aiyuan shot a glowering glare at Lin Jiao and said to the bouncers in a cold voice, “Gag her. Don’t let me hear her voice again!” Then she looked back at Yang Qimo with a smile on her face. “President Yang, what do you think?”
Yang Qimo gave a nod to Mei Aiyuan in response. “Now I finally know why President Chen is so successful. With such a capable wife, President Chen is fated to succeed.”
Mei Aiyuan smiled and didn’t speak. Yang Qimo said, “To tell you the truth, this woman offended the little daughter of our boss. The young lady ordered us to take this woman to City A and now two directors of our head office have come here overnight to catch this woman, so as to curry favor. It’s time for me to go home, yet I still had to come here to carry out that young lady’s order after receiving word from the head office.”
Mei Aiyuan immediately figured out who the young lady was when she heard this. It seemed that she was that excellent classmate whom her daughter had mentioned. She hadn’t expected that little girl to be so domineering, but from what she heard on the phone just now, she liked that little girl’s style.
Lin Jiao immediately turned pale upon hearing Yang Qimo’s words. She glared at Yang Qimo and tried to swear at Xiao Rou. How dare she do this to her?! But she couldn’t speak as she was gagged by the bouncers with a tape… so she could only struggle desperately, trying to make noise.
Mei Aiyuan raised her eyebrows at Yang Qimo as she asked, “I wonder which directors of Xiao’s Group will be coming this time?”
Yang Qimo made no secret of it; he leaned back in his chair and replied with a smile, “They are Mr. Xiao Sa and Mr. Xiao Jing. You know, Mr. Xiao Jing works for Qiao’s International Group. As for their father, I think you know who he is.”
Mei Aiyuan turned solemn as she gazed at Yang Qimo and asked seriously, “What are they coming here for?”
“For the little princess, of course. They love their sister so much that they will do anything to make her happy.” Yang Qimo had answered casually, but Mei Aiyuan could tell that this Xiao Rou was very popular in the Xiao Family. Both her parents’ family and her uncle’s family adored her greatly.
She had seen the news about the Xiao Family on TV, so she was clear as to their affairs, and because her daughter was studying in City A, she had collected information about the powerful figures in City A, including the Xiao Family. Mr. Xiao Jing worked for Qiao’s International Group and even owned shares of her daughter’s school. So should she weigh up how to handle this woman?
However, she would never agree to release Lin Jiao. After thinking for a while, Mei Aiyuan faced Yang Qimo and asked in a low voice, “President Yang, did they tell you to bring this woman back in one piece?”
Yang Qimo raised his eyebrows and took a look at Mei Aiyuan, who was obviously in fear of something. He shook his head with a smile. “Of course not. They just told me not to let this woman escape.”
