Chapter 188: Can You Walk Out of Empire Garden?
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Zhong was a little surprised. He looked at Qiao Liang with a frown and asked, “Mr. Qiao, are you kidding?” From what he knew of his master, he had always hated hospitals and doctors. Only Miss was able to persuade him to go to the hospital for an examination. Ever since Miss had the accident, Master had never been to the hospital. He even refused to take medicine, so he had to nag him into doing so… Qiao Liang not only came here with Miss’ finger, but he also brought so many doctors with him. Wasn’t he afraid of being kicked out by Master?
Qiao Liang didn’t care for what Tang Zhong was thinking and merely asked him to lead the way. “Butler Tang, I think you can understand why I’m doing this. In any case, what Xixi cared for most was Mr. Tang’s health. I can’t just sit by and watch him fall ill.” Seeing that Tang Zhong seemed to be convinced by him, Qiao Liang continued, “Xixi wouldn’t have wanted her grandpa to fall ill because of her, would she?”
Butler Tang struggled for quite a while before finally obeying his own will. He turned aside and said, “Mr. Qiao, please come with me. Master is already waiting for you in the study.”
Qiao Liang followed Butler Tang through the gate. Little Five followed him. Behind them was the medical team. The truck with the medical equipment directly drove through the gate. After all the people went in, someone immediately came and closed the gate.
Although Little Five had come to Empire Garden with Qiao Liang before, he had never entered inside. As soon as he got into Empire Garden, he was completely stunned. God, this was not a garden, but a forest park! No, no, a wetland park. And it was even larger than wetland parks!

This was the capital! Every inch of land was precious! Grandpa Tang owned such a huge park in the capital and took it as his home! He was damn rich!
Look at the entertainment facilities here. How much money was needed to build them?! Oh, my god! A real rich man! What a rich man! It was unnecessary for him to go out to flaunt wealth. Anyone who came to Empire Garden could tell you how rich Grandpa Tang was!
Qiao Liang walked forward, without looking sideways. Little Five asked, “Young Master, even you can’t get such a big house in the capital, can you?”
Qiao Liang completely ignored Little Five’s question. Needless to say, land was very expensive in the capital and nowadays, even if you had money, you couldn’t claim such a great area as your private home. In the central area of the capital, governmental approval was required even when you planned to build a private house with your own land, and the government wouldn’t give approval to that, let alone building a private house as huge as Empire Garden.
This land was bought by Tang Zhenhua fifty years ago and the facilities here were also built by him, bit by bit. Although it looked like a large museum with such a huge area and so many facilities, it was far harder to build than a real museum. Empire Garden was built bit by bit over decades. Tang Zhenhua had invested much affection into it, including his love for Xixi, which couldn’t be measured with money.
Being ignored, Little Five curled his lips, looked at Qiao Liang and said, “Young Master, just admit it. You aren’t as rich as Grandpa Tang, are you?”
“Yes, I don’t have money, so your bonus next month will be gone. You know I’m poor,” Qiao Liang suddenly replied, stepping directly into the sightseeing bus.

Standing still in a mess and shock, Little Five watched Qiao Liang following Tang Zhong on the sightseeing bus to the villa and felt as if there were 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart. Why did he suddenly feel that he was screwed by his own mouth?
Bonus! Five million Yuan! He just lost it?
Little Five rushed over to chase the bus. “Young Master, I was wrong. You can hit me! But don’t deduct my bonus! It’ll kill me!”
Tang Zhong looked back at Little Five, who was running behind the bus like a dog chasing his owner, and gaped. Wearing a deadpan expression, Qiao Liang said, “He’s not my subordinate. Just ignore him.”
Tang Zhong was speechless. Qiao Liang was always a surprising one.
But he didn’t say anymore. The bus stopped in front of the villa. Little Five was out of breath. He put his hands on his knees to support himself and looked up at Qiao Liang with tears in his eyes. “Young Master, you made me chase the bus for five minutes. Please don’t deduct my bonus!”
Qiao Liang cast a glance at him and snorted. “I’m too poor to pay you a bonus. If you can’t accept it, you can resign!”
“Young Master, a bonus is nothing! I don’t want it now!” Little Five cried out, quickly changing his tune. “I swear I’ll serve you loyally forever. A bonus is nothing compared to you.”
Qiao Liang grunted in response. He looked at Little Five with a straight face and said, “Since you said this, your bonus for the next year will be gone. You should be considerate of your cash-strapped boss.” With that, he turned and followed Butler Tang into the villa.
Looking at Qiao Liang’s indifferent back, Little Five grabbed Little Six, who was walking in with the doctors, and cried out, “What can I do? I want to resign.”
Little Six glanced at him before pushing him aside and walking forward, replying, “Then do it. Don’t bother me.” He continued to look at the computer in his hand, his fingers beating on it quickly.
Little Five yelled at Little Six, “Little Six, you don’t love me anymore?”
Little Six ignored him and walked on. The group of doctors had often worked with Little Five and were quite familiar with him. As they passed Little Five, they all gave him a pat on the shoulder along with a sympathetic look.
Little Five stood there, totally speechless.
In the study.
Tang Zhenhua looked at the rows of doctors and a gleam of displeasure flashed through his eyes. He pretended to be puzzled and looked at Qiao Liang as he asked, “What do you mean by this, Mr. Qiao? Why did you bring doctors with you?”
Qiao Liang looked back at the doctors standing in two rows, sat down on the sofa, looked at Tang Zhenhua and said, “Mr. Tang, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to offend you. I’ve promised to give you Xixi’s finger, but I can’t give it to you unless you let me check your health condition. Otherwise, you can’t get her finger.”
Tang Zhenhua narrowed his eyes. “Lad, are you threatening me?”
“Mr. Tang, I’m concerned about you,” Qiao Liang replied seriously. “Xixi’s gone, and I can’t let you, the person she cared about, fall ill.”
Tang Zhenhua sneered. “Do you think you can walk out of Empire Garden without giving it to me?”
Qiao Liang sneered as well. “Do you think you can get the box in my hand without letting me check your health?”
