That was because he knew the anti-terrorism army wouldn’t let him off especially as he was still a man who they viewed as a suspect. Besides, Xiao Yao had been trying to catch him. He would definitely take actions when he heard Qiao Liang appeared on the wharf of the west side. He would leave the southside wharf, and follow him to the west side one.

Xiao Yao must think Lin Yuan appeared on the southside wharf to divert their attentions and the deal would actually be made on the west side. He wouldn’t expect Qiao Liang was actually the bait.

Qiao Liang sat down on the sofa and looked at Lin Yuan. “Be careful. Don’t get caught by the anti-terrorism army. You should feel lucky that I’m in the capital. What if I’m not here? How were you going to deal with this shipment?”

Lin Yuan shrugged and gently shook the wine glass in his hand. “I can deal with the goods as before. It’s not the first time we’ve got a problem. Why do you make such a fuss?”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Yuan and smiled coldly. “Then will you compensate for our loss?”

Lin Yuan found Qiao Liang had become angry and he hurriedly explained, “It happened more than once. Okay, I’ll pay more attention next time.”

Qiao Liang stared coldly at Lin Yuan, leaned forward and said sternly, “You said you would pay more attention in the Las Vegas mission ten years ago, but what happened then? Eight years ago, in Berlin, you said you would pay more attention, then what happened again? Seven years ago…”

“Okay, okay!” Lin Yuan looked aggrievedly at Qiao Liang and curled his lips. “I know you’ve cleaned up the mess for me many times, but you don’t have to mention it over and over again, okay?… I promise I’ll pay more attention next time. If you still don’t trust me, I can ask Ice Dragon to do the jobs in my place, alright?”

Qiao Liang stood up and looked at Lin Yuan with a straight face as he said coldly, “I’m not here to clean up the mess for you. If you dare ruin my plan, I’ll teach you a good lesson!”

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He rushed up to Qiao Liang and asked with sparkling eyes, “What’s your plan? Why did you come to the capital? Do you need my help?”

“No, thank you!” Qiao Liang said and stood up to walk outside as he said coldly, “They will probably follow me here. Be careful.”

“Hey!” Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Liang’s back in frustration. “Why do you leave so soon?”

Qiao Liang finally smile when he heard Lin Yuan’s frustrated voice. He looked back at Lin Yuan and raised his eyebrows as he spoke as coolly as ever, “By the way, Alice has come here.”

The corner of Lin Yuan’s eyes twitched when he heard the name. He hurriedly went into the bathroom and changed his clothes and skin mask. He wondered why Alice, a hottie, would like a white man… a fake white man!

…

Qiao Liang reached out to rub at Tang Xi’s hair and said, “I just didn’t sleep well last night.” He then asked in a low voice, “Was everything successful today?”

Tang Xi hurriedly took a look at her assistant because of Qiao Liang’s action, and the assistant pretended not to see anything and concentrated on driving. Tang Xi was relieved to see the assistant wasn’t paying them any attention. She nodded. “Yes, now Empire Entertainment is mine. I’m going there first and then I’ll attend a dinner party in the Great Hall of the People .”

“A state banquet?” Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows.

Tang Xi looked at him and smiled. “Are you invited too?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi as he said with a smile, “It seems that we can attend this dinner party together.”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang up and down. The him in the skin mask was not as handsome as usual, but still very charming… Oh, how she wanted to kiss him…

But of course she wouldn’t put it into action. Soon they reached Empire Entertainment. The management of Empire Entertainment had known Tang Xi was coming and were waiting for her at the gate of the company. When they arrived, not only the management, but also the actors and actresses of the Empire Entertainment were waiting for them, including some entertainment journalists…

Tang Xi sitting in the car looked at the crowd and regretted a bit that she informed them of her visit in advance. Qiao Liang looked at her helpless look and said in a low voice, “This is better. More people will know you’ve come back, which is good for the Empire Group.”

In the months when Tang Xi was not around, the news was widespread in the capital that Tang Xi had an air crash, and some media had even reported her death. Although the Empire Group was very powerful, it was still affected by the news and its share price kept falling. Although the Empire Group managed to control the situation, the death of its next owner was still a blow to it.

So Tang Xi came back in high profile, which was good for both the Empire Group and Tang Xi. Although it might be tiring for her to keep switching between Tang Xi and Xiao Rou, it was the best choice.

Tang Xi looked back at Qiao Liang and gently nodded. “I know.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

As soon as they got out of the car, the journalists’ cameras kept flashing at them and dazzled their eyes. Seeing Qiao Liang, the journalists all rushed forward to take photographs of him. Qiao Liang didn’t like being photographed, so he frowned and released a suppressing aura, which made some journalists shrink back.

A journalist asked boldly, “Miss Tang, this gentleman is with you again today. Is he your bodyguard or do you have any special relationship?”

Tang Xi was walking forward as guarded by Qiao Liang, her assistant and the management of the Empire Entertainment. Hearing this question, she suddenly stopped, looked back at the journalist and smiled. “May I ask whether you came to interview about my visit to the Empire Entertainment or pry into my private life?”

She believed the actors and actresses of the Empire Entertainment had higher newsworthiness than her by at least a hundred times.

The journalist hesitated, looked at Tang Xi and still asked, “Miss Tang, is it inconvenient for you to answer this question?”

“Yes.” Tang Xi stared at that journalist, then looked back at the other journalists and coldly said, “You can ask any question, but I’ll only answer those I want to answer.”

“Miss Tang, why did you grasp the Empire Entertainment into your hand as soon as you came back? What’s your purpose?”
