Chapter 236: My Sister Was Abducted
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Jing froze when he heard that he could have five days off. He paused for three seconds before he shouted, “Ohhh! I can finally go home and have a bath! After living like a tramp for a whole week, I can finally be a normal person!” Then he grabbed his coat on the black leather sofa, opened the door and went out, muttering, “Oh! I’m gonna have my sister give me a good massage!”
He helped her boyfriend defend such a big company and brought down his enemy’s company. He should surely get some benefits from his sister. At least, she should give him a massage!
Hearing Xiao Jing’s words, Qiao Liang sitting in his leather chair, sneered and continued to work. Xiao Jing walked out of the office and waited for Qiao Liang to get angry, but he didn’t hear anything, so he pushed the door open and went back to the office. Qiao Liang looked up only to see Xiao Jing standing at the door of the office. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Anything else?”
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, held his chin and squinted at Qiao Liang as if he found something serious. “You quarreled! And you quarreled terribly!”
“It’s none of your business.” Qiao Liang lowered his head and continued to work. Xiao Jing frowned and closed the door as he said, “You must have had a fight, or else why didn’t you have any reaction when I said I was going to have my sister give me a massage? Something must have happened between you and my sister…”
Qiao Liang grunted. “I’m busy. Get out of my face.”
“Tut, tut, what made you so angry?” What Xiao Jing liked the most in his life was to see Qiao Liang being abused, so at this moment, he felt that he was no longer sleepy. He walked quickly to the chair in front of Qiao Liang’s desk and sat down, gloating, “Why did you quarrel? Was it because you were too clingy, so you were scolded by my sister?”

Qiao Liang cast a cold glance at Xiao Jing, lowered his head to read a capital increase proposal in his hand and said with a straight face, “Do you still have a sister?”
Xiao Jing scowled and asked angrily, “What do you mean? Why did you say…” Something occurred to him before he finished. He lunges to his feet and said coldly, “Did Rourou get snatched away by my uncle and his family?”
Qiao Liang didn’t raise his head. “She is a human. She can’t be snatched away.”
“Damn it! How could they abduct my sister while I was gone? How nasty are these people?! I’m going to settle the account with them!” With that, Xiao Jing turned to walk outside angrily. Qiao Liang who was reading the document suddenly raised his head. “You’d better take a shower first. You really stink.”
“Qiao Liang, f*ck you!” Xiao Jing cursed and turned to leave.
The office was finally quiet after Xiao Jing left. Qiao Liang made an internal call and said in a low voice, “Come over and clean my office. Deal with what needs to be dealt with.”
After processing several documents, Qiao Liang looked at his watch, turned on his computer and made a video call. Two seconds later, two men appeared on the screen. One man looked mature yet domineering, and the other looked of the genteel sort with a wicked smile over his lips. The two men plus Qiao Liang could almost make the best aesthetic combination in the world.
The two of them greeted Qiao Liang with a smile and Qiao Liang asked, “How is it going?”
“We’ve captured the mole and solved him, but I haven’t found Chu Ling. I don’t know where this guy has been lately. I can’t find him. It’s like he’s gone missing. I haven’t seen him for a week.” Jayce said.

Qiao Liang remained expressionless and Wilson said, “You’ve been focusing on China lately. Do you need us to pay more attention to China? It’ll be easier for us to help you.”
Qiao Liang shook his head. “No, our focus should still be elsewhere other than China. If Long Xiao appears in China, it will soon break the domestic market rules, and then we may face a lot of companies’ protests. Unless there is no other way, we shouldn’t take Long Xiao back to China.”
Upon hearing his words, Wilson looked embarrassed, while Jayce laughed with glee and said, “Hey, Seven. I’ve told you that you won’t be able to play a trick on him, right? Do you think by focusing on China, he will focus on Long Xiao? That would be impossible… We should all be thankful if he can help us when we don’t have a way out.”
Wilson asked in a deep voice, “How soon will you get back to Long Xiao?”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “Haven’t I been in Long Xiao all the time? Which big case of Long Xiao wasn’t solved by me?” As soon as he finished, the phone in his office rang. Qiao Liang picked it up and An Hao’s voice rang out, “President Qiao, a Mr. Lu is on the first floor and he said that he wanted to see you. Are you going to see him?”
Wilson immediately stopped and Jayce also shut up and waited for Qiao Liang’s reaction. It had been two seconds before Qiao Liang said in a cold voice, “No.” He then hung up the phone and continued with his meeting with Wilson and Jayce.
Wilson didn’t want to ruin Qiao Liang’s mood and changed the topic. “The Saudi Border Defence has ordered twenty thousand tons of heavy weapons from us. I have agreed.”
Qiao Liang grunted and asked casually, “Price?”
“Three times of the market price.” Jayce said, putting a wicked smile on his lips, “Anyway, they have so much money. Such a price is nothing to them.”
Qiao Liang hummed and said, “Give me a list of the weapons.”
Jayce raised his eyebrows. “Why do you need that?”
Qiao Liang glanced at Jayce and he immediately raised his hands. “Alright, I’ll shut up. By the way, shall we process an extra batch of the same weapons this time? ”
Qiao Liang nodded. “Send them to the Marina Bay of the capital. Call me when they arrive there and I’ll take them myself.”
Jayce pursed his lips. “Cost price again?”
Qiao Liang nodded. “Yes, you’ll be in charge of this job, Jayce. It must be the best weapons.”
“You’re truly devoted to your country…” Jayce had hardly finished when he saw Joe looking at him and he quickly shut up. “Alright, I shouldn’t have asked about this. Since you asked me to prepare it, I’ll prepare it well.”
Qiao Liang gave a satisfactory smile. “It’s not a bad bargain. With a powerful country behind you, no one dares to shoot you even if you’re the richest man in the world. Besides, I won’t give them weapons for free.”
