174 Mahad
“What if you must choose between the two?”
Qiao Yue regretted imdiately when she asked this question. Because this question made it look like she was asking the stupid question about saving the mother or wife first if both of them fell into the sea at the sa ti.
Qiao Jing looked at her and was about to speak when Qiao Yue interrupted, “It’s getting late, I’d better go back.”
Qiao Yue took a deep breath before she said, “Even if you need to sacrifice to protect your family one day, I’ll understand.”
She had known Qiao Jing long enough to know the kind of person he was. He was calm, rational, and big-picture oriented. How could he give a biased answer to such a question?
!!
Qiao Yue had just turned around when Qiao Jing suddenly hugged her from behind.
Qiao Yue covered her chest with her hands and pushed Qiao Jing away.
“Second brother, I know what you an, but we’re two grown n, so let’s not be so mushy.”
Qiao Jing smiled and avoided Qiao Yue’s touch.
Qiao Yue still didn’t know that the man in front of her had already found out that she wasn’t a boy.
The atmosphere in the room beca a little awkward. After a long ti, Qiao Jing said, “Go to bed then. You’ll be back in school in a few days.”
Qiao Yue nodded, turned and walked out of the room.
Back in her room, Qiao Yue reread the file on Mahad.
The information that YQ was able to find included a few transactions between Qiao Yi and Mahad.
Qiao Yi’s business was in healthcare. Unfortunately, he didn’t inherit Old Master Qiao’s business skills, but he was extrely ambitious.
He had exported a batch of illegal herbs, hoping to deceive the quality inspection center overseas. However, he didn’t expect that he would fail to trick the quality inspection center overseas, who then detained his expensive herbs.
Qiao Yi’s faced cash flow problem after and borrowed heavily from loan sharks.
It was at this ti that Mahad extended a helping hand and paid for the batch of illegal herbs. However, in exchange, Qiao Yi had to be their human trafficking partner.
Qiao Yue felt her hands balled into fists when she read this.
She flipped through the rest of the information, which was about the won trade Mahad dealt in.
Trafficking won, abusing them… Mahad didn’t only sell them to high-ranking officials and wealthy families, but also to thugs who could not find wives.
There were also many photos taken inside the casino in the file.
A woman in playboy bunny costu surrounded by big n, with a disgusted expression but powerless to refuse…
There was also a girl who seed to be drugged being surrounded and toyed with by a few people…
Qiao Yue had always hated people who used won’s bodies and lives for business. People in such business were often protected by officials to keep their illegal supply chain running and the won’s complaining or resisting mouths shut.
Qiao Yi probably wanted to use this thod to make friends with the higher-ups in D-Country, and thus protect his business of selling illegal herbs.
Although Old Master Qiao had no intention of helping Qiao Yi, he would find a way to continue his business and find ways to stop Qiao Yue from interfering in the Qiao family affairs.
The next thing would not be easy to deal with.
Qiao Yue massaged her forehead but she wasn’t worried. She was able to make KA so big, so she wouldn’t care about the Qiao family assets. She was protecting the Qiao family to fulfill her mother’s wish. After all, Old Master Qiao wouldn’t want the family business ruined under his watch.
After reading the file, Qiao Yue was ready to take a shower and go to bed.
“Rat-tat-tat.” Soone suddenly knocked on her door. Qiao Yue put her clothes back on and walked to the door.
She opened the door and saw Qiao Ze’s smiling face. He had with him a dozen beers. Although he was smiling, he looked tired.
“Fifth brother, how about having a few drinks with tonight?”
Qiao Yue looked at him and nodded.
Although she had just recovered from her injuries, she could still have a few drinks.
“I have sothing to show you.” Qiao Ze brought her to the family theatre where they had watched a movie together with Qiao Yu before.
The two of them sat on the sofa in family theatre, holding beers. The servants had prepared a lot of snacks in the room. Qiao Ze started to adjust the projector.
“A new movie?” Qiao Yue asked curiously.
“No.”
The lights in the family theatre dimd, and a video appeared on the wall.
It was a very soothing song, with a city pop feel, which reminded Qiao Yue of her days in the countryside.
It was an MV of Qiao Ze, which was also directed by him. It was a simple love story, shot tenderly in a refreshing way.
