The four of them didn’t call He Wanzhou and the others to have lunch with them, because it was already late and it was almost time for dinner. It was five pm when they finished lunch. Tang Xi had lunch late because she ate breakfast late and had been busy in the show field, so she didn’t have time to have lunch…
As for Ning Yan and Xiao Jing, they were also busy today. They visited Long Xiao’s branch office in Paris, and then watched Lei Ting interrogate these guys. He felt even the CIA’s torture was no match for Long Xiao’s. Instead of ancient grilling means, they used psychological tactics, and soon those guys confessed…
They were awesome!
If the two of them knew the clock interrogation technique that Qiao Liang used on Kloss Lov, they would have vomited blood…
They went to their rooms after lunch. Qiao Liang told Tang Xi that he had something to tend to and told her to take care of herself. Tang Xi saw him out with a smile. “Don’t take me as a three-year old kid. Although I can’t fully control my special skills now, I’m still stronger than ordinary people. Besides, your men are all over the hotel. Nothing will happen to me.”
Qiao Liang took a surprised look at her. He didn’t tell her that he had put many agents of Long Xiao in the hotel to protect her. How did she find out about it?
Tang Xi seemed to know what he was thinking of. She chuckled. “Because of my special skills, I’m very sensitive to everything around me. I have become more sharp-eyed than before. I think it’s great for me to have these skills.”
Qiao Liang rubbed at her hair. “In any case, safety first.”
…
On the other side of things, Huo Yun who was helping Lu Li handle the aftermath of the Kloss family affair scowled when she read a message that another agent sent to her. She put away her cell phone, walked up to Lu Li and said with a straight face, “Mr. Seven, that woman doesn’t deserve to be Young Master’s woman. Why don’t you stop Young Master from being with that woman?”
Lu Li who was busy dealing with documents frowned when he heard her words. He looked up at Huo Yun and narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
Huo Yun took a deep breath. “That woman is good for nothing! She will only make trouble for us. She doesn’t deserve Young Master!”
Lu Li stared at her and gave a cold smile. Then he stood up and snapped, “You are caring about something that you shouldn’t care about! What makes you think you can meddle in Young Master’s affairs?”
Huo Yun looked at Lu Li angrily and said coldly, “Mr. Seven, you changed. You wouldn’t say these words to me before!”
“Do you know what you are talking about?” The air seemed to freeze in an instant. Lu Li glared at Huo Yun and coldly said, “As an agent of Long Xiao, you just need to do what we tell you to do. Don’t poke your nose into what isn’t your business. I know you love Qiao Liang, and I won’t stop you from confessing your love to him, but if you dare to hurt Xiao Rou because of jealousy, I won’t let you off, let alone Qiao Liang!”
“Since you already know how much I love Young Master, why don’t you…” Huo Yun stared at Lu Li hatefully. “Why don’t you let me follow him?!”
“You want to ruin your career because of a man?” Lu Li snapped, “Huo Yun, never ever forget who you are, even when you’re in love with a man! You’re not only a woman in love with Qiao Liang, but also an agent of Long Xiao! I hope you don’t forget your duty.”
Huo Yun froze. It had been quite a while before she lowered her eyes and said, “Sorry, Mr. Seven, I won’t let you down any longer.”
“You can go out now.” Lu Li said and continued to process the documents. He rubbed between his eyebrows when Huo Yun went out. He then looked up at the sky and fell into a trance. He couldn’t be with her… because of his duty.
She was a senior inspector of anti-terrorism unit, whereas he was a terrorist. How ironic it was!
As soon as Huo Yun walked out of the room, the respectful look on her face was immediately gone. She clenched her fist in hatred. She shouldn’t have been so impulsive as to question Mr. Seven and let him know her real thoughts… That woman was to blame!
Xiao Rou… I won’t let you off!
Including your damn family!
…
When Qiao Liang came in, Lu Li was still in a trance. Qiao Liang took a look at Lu Li, sat down on the sofa beside and raised his eyebrows. “Since you can’t forget her, why did you break up with her? You should have given her a chance to explain.”
Lu Li looked back at Qiao Liang, put out the cigarette and sat down opposite to Qiao Liang. Then he threw a piece of file to Qiao Liang and gave a self-deprecating smile. “Do you think it’s that simple? I’ve given her a lot chances no matter what happened in the past or at present, but every time, she destroyed these chances.”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled. “You’ve given her chances? When? What I know is that you left her ten years ago… now she took the initiative to chase you, and you wanted to break up with her again.”
“Qiao Liang, we almost died in Provence because of her. If it hadn’t been Xiao Rou, guess what would have happened to us? And…” Lu Li suddenly grabbed his arm and coldly said, “There is still a bullet in your arm because of her… How can you still try to defend her?”
Qiao Liang moved his gaze from the document to Lu Li and shook his head. “I’m not defending her. I’m just worried about you. Lu Li, I know how it feels to be separated from my beloved woman. I had had enough of it in the past five years, so I don’t want you to experience the same pain as I did. I don’t want you to give up a part of yourself because of your identity.”
Lu Li looked at Qiao Liang in surprise and the latter sighed. “I know, Wen Ning has become a part of your. Since the first day you two met, you have become a part of each other. You’re as important as a beating heart to each other… A human being may survive without his identity, but he definitely won’t make it without his heart.”
“But you did.” Lu Li looked at Qiao Liang and coldly said, “I had thought you wouldn’t be able to make it after Tang Xi died, but then you met Xiao Rou and survived.”
Lu Li said flatly, “So I will be able to make it too.”
