Chapter 429: Got Angry
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
The waiter also straightened up and was about to leave. Tang Xi hurriedly took one of the two girls’ arms, scowled and snapped, “You haven’t told me what you are doing here!”
“What are you doing?!” That girl shook off her hand and turned to leave. Tang Xi hastened to catch up with them but sprained her ankle. She yelled, “Stop!”
“Nuts!” The girls looked back at Tang Xi with disdain and hurriedly walked away.
“What are you doing here?” A cold voice rang behind Tang Xi.
Hearing this cold voice, Tang Xi swallowed her saliva in chagrin. Damn, Ah Liang saw her fall over! But she didn’t have the time to explain to him. She pointed at the girls and shouted out loud, “Ah Liang, catch them. Hurry up!”
Qiao Liang took a look at Little Six behind him and the latter raced up and stood in the way of the two girls. At this time, Little Five also came over dragging a man… Tang Xi took a look at the man who was caught by Little Five. It was that waiter who was opening the door of Ning Yan’s room just now.
With a dark face, Qiao Liang helped Tang Xi get up from the floor and asked her coldly, “What happened?”
Tang Xi touched her nose awkwardly and said, “Some people wanted to set Director Ning up. They took photos of us with a candid camera when Sister Wanyi and I went into Director Ning’s room, and released the photos on the Microblog. I saw the photos and came out to have to look, and I happened to see them trying to get into Director Ning’s room.”
Hearing her words, Qiao Liang frowned. Tang Xi secretly smiled in her heart when she saw Qiao Liang’s look. So he actually cared about his friend Ning Yan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have looked so angry when he heard what she said. She understood his feelings. These people were really nasty. They even tried to get into Director Ning’s room… If she hadn’t stopped them, no one would know what would happen!

“You mean when you saw them trying to get into Ning Yan’s room, you didn’t call me but came up to stop them by yourself?” Qiao Liang’s face grew darker and darker.
“Well…” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and suddenly felt a chill over her spine. She blinked. So he was angry not because some people had tried to set Ning Yan up but because she didn’t turn to him for help and came up to confront them by herself?
Oh, so she read him wrong!
“No, I didn’t bring my phone…” Qiao Liang raised Tang Xi’s hand in which there was her cell phone. Tang Xi froze and then still tried to make an excuse. “Well, I didn’t have enough time. They would have gotten into Director Ning’s room if I called you. And if they did, Director Ning would be unable to prove he is innocent.”
“You don’t have to worry about Ning Yan!” Qiao Liang scowled. Why was he so unhappy when he heard this girl worried about another man?!
Tang Xi pursed her lips and said in a small voice, “The problem is that I’m also involved in this matter… They took the photos of Sister Wanyi and me when we entered Director Ning’s room! How could I just sit by and watch them entering Director Ning’s room?”
Qiao Liang looked at this little woman that was still trying to defend herself, and he frowned. It had been quite a while before he said helplessly, “You…”
Qiao Liang took a look at Little Six who took the two women’s arms and pulled them with him. These women immediately screamed, “Help! Someone is sexually assaulting me!”
Tang Xi, “…” How do you have the nerve to say this?! The fact is that you are trying to sexually assault Director Ning!
Qiao Liang scowled and stared coldly at the women. “Keep screaming if you want to die.”

“Do you dare to kill us here?!” One of the women asked provocatively and they began to struggle hard. Little Six frowned and Qiao Liang said coldly, “Get a copy of the surveillance video and send the two women to the police station. As for this waiter, call his manager over and tell him what happened. Then throw him over to the police station with these women. Make these thieves get the punishment they deserve!”
The women was awed by Qiao Liang’s overwhelming aura and didn’t dare to struggle anymore. Hearing that they were going to send them to the police station, they hurriedly said, “Someone paid us to do this. He left a message on our social media accounts and asked us to take some photos in this room and upload them to the Internet. He promised to pay us five hundred thousand Euros when we succeeded. We thought this money was easy to earn, so we agreed…”
Tang Xi narrowed her eyes. “Do you know who he is?”
The girl shook their heads. “No… We just know his social media account and don’t know anything else about him. Please, let us go.”
“Let you go?” The door of Ning Yan’s room was suddenly opened. Ning Yan who looked gaunt stood at the door. He stared at the women darkly and sneered. “If you managed to get into my room, would you let me off so easily?”
Tang Xi looked at Ning Yan carefully, pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, “Director Ning, are you alright?”
Ning Yan took a look at Tang Xi and shrugged. “I’m fine. Thank you, Rourou. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been able to prove my innocence. That would have affected my movie.”
Tang Xi shrugged. Qiao Liang took a look at Little Five and Little Six, and then at Ning Yan. “I’ll leave these people to you. It’s up to you whether to send them to the police station or interrogate them in the interrogation room yourself.”
“Interrogation room?” Ning Yan took a look at Qiao Liang who turned up the corners of his mouth and looked at Ning Yan coldly, “Don’t you know my identity?”
Ning Yan paused. They surely knew the other identity of Qiao Liang. He was the famous Mr. Q! But he didn’t tell them about this, so they just pretended not to know that identity of his. It turned out that Qiao Liang had known they were aware of his real identity but were just pretending not to know!
Oh, he was insidious!
Qiao Liang didn’t bother to talk with Ning Yan anymore. He carried Tang Xi and turned to walk towards his room as he warned Ning Yan coldly, “I’ll give you one day to solve this matter. You’ll regret it if you don’t solve it in time and it affects The Queen.”
Ning Yan wanted to curse him, but Qiao Liang had already left. Ning Yan could only take a deep breath and looked at Little Five and Little Six, saying, “Don’t send them to the police station. I have faith in your ability, so I’ll leave them to you. Make them confess and solve this trouble for your boss’ future wife. I have something else to tend to. Thank you.”
Little Five and Little Six exchanged a glance and Little Five looked at Ning Yan and asked, “Mr. Ning, won’t you interrogate them yourself?”
