169 Dirty Business
Everything happened within minutes and Qiao Yi had no ti to react. Although he wasn’t filial, it wasn’t to the point that he wished his father dead. He was also stunned when he saw that the old master almost fainted.
The old master recovered from his fainting spell and struck the ground with his walking stick.
“Qiao Yi, just give up! If it’s that kind of business, I won’t give you a single cent even if your business goes bust. Get lost now and don’t appear in front of !”
The old master didn’t give Qiao Yi any face and ordered him to leave.
Qiao Yi glared fiercely at his father. As though it wasn’t enough, he glared at Qiao Yue one more ti he left indignantly, slamming the door behind him.
Although Qiao Yue was curious about what business Qiao Yi was doing, she didn’t ask in view of the old master’s condition.
Qiao Yue helped her grandfather on to a chair and pressed on his acupoints to relieve the tension.
The old master exhaled two mouthfuls of turbid air before he slowly said, “Xiao Yue, go and rest. Grandpa would like so ti alone.”
Qiao Yue nodded silently and left her grandfather’s room. She wanted to know what Qiao Yi had done to make the old master so angry.
Before dinner, Qiao Yue vaguely heard Qiao Yi borrowing money from Qiao Li. Because they were quite far away, Qiao Yue didn’t hear the result, but from Qiao Yi’s expression, he probably failed.
As for the kind of business Qiao Yi was into, Qiao Yue found out before she went to bed. Reading the information sent by YQ, Qiao Yue’s lips curled into a cold smile.
No wonder her grandfather was so angry. Qiao Yi was engaged in human trafficking, prostitution, and whoring. He’d identified a country that valued n over won, bought won at a low price, and then sold them back in C-Country. He’d also pick out the good-looking ones, package them, and send them to inappropriate places.
Qiao Yue tapped her fingers on the docunt. It said that after Qiao Jing withdrew his investnt, Qiao Yi encountered cash flow problem, which led him to such dirty business so he could recoup his business. However, Qiao Yue didn’t think so.
To be able to perfect the supply chain in a short ti with only one remaining step, which was to sell the rchandise in China, how could this be triggered by Qiao Jing’s withdrawal of capital? Also, based on what YQ said, Qiao Yi had done everything discreetly. YQ only managed to find out what Qiao Yi was doing by tapping his wife’s phone.
It’s probably not a spur of the mont decision when Qiao Jing withdraw all the money he had invested on Qiao Yi within a day. Could Qiao Jing have found out sothing too?
Qiao Yue drumd her fingers on the table as she smiled. Her second brother must have a lot of secrets!
The atmosphere at the Qiao residence was somber with Qiao Yi and Qiao Li’s return. Qiao Yi had co back ho before his wife to ask for help from the old master. He didn’t expect to be rejected so harshly by his father. His wife was still waiting there, so he had to go around begging for help.
The two brothers, Qiao Ze and Qiao Yu, didn’t have an easy ti in the past few days either. As Qiao Yi’s children, they had naturally been asked by their father for help. But how could the old master not know the kind of person his son was? He had long told his grandsons what their father was up to.
The boys had decades of education and their own conscience on one hand and their parents’ coercion on the other. They didn’t even dare to stay at ho. They would occasionally co back to accompany their grandfather, but as soon as they heard that Qiao Yi was ho, they would instantly disappear without a trace. Qiao Yue felt tired for her brothers.
Qiao Yue wanted to help, but the country that Qiao Yi was in did not prohibit the trafficking of won. Instead, these transactions were an important source of inco for the country. A country that acquiesced to such trafficking was basically rotten to the core, and it would be a daydream to expect them to do anything.
Sighing, Qiao Yue walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with a coffee. It looked like they would have to wait for Qiao Yi to make the first move, and then deal with his actions one by one.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to rescue those won, but there was no way to rescue them. However, no matter what, she shared her grandfather’s sentint. They couldn’t let those won enter C-Country.
In the pitch-black and starless night sky, every room in the Qiao family mansion was brightly lit. Most likely, not many were able to sleep peacefully because of Qiao Yi’s matter.
They were all mbers of the sa family, but they had different thoughts. No one knew who’s actually thinking about the future of the Qiao family.
