Chapter 45
All she knew was that her brother got himself into trouble with some gangsters because of his girlfriend. He was later brought home by their father and their uncle-in-law. In order to keep him out of trouble, their poor mother had to keep a constant eye on him to stop him from going back to N City.
Ye Qiao’s mother had told her about the incident in her past life – that her brother had unfortunately caused some serious injuries during a fight, and his girlfriend turned out to be the root of all the troubles.
He then spent the next two years hiding in the house. When he finally pulled himself together for another attempt at life, he was scammed by his former classmates with a fraudulent venture in an illegal pyramid scheme.
Contrary to his devil-may-care attitude, Du Jun seemed a little serious as soon as he mentioned her brother’s incident. The trouble that Qiao Tian had got himself into must be quite severe.
“Uncle, I only know that those men involved are from a syndicate,” Ye Qiao calmly said. She was not too worried about it. If their father and their uncle-in-law could get him home, she could well do the same.
“The trouble that your brother has got himself into is with the Qinglong Gang, but the one who’s injured is merely a leader of a small segment, not someone who’s significantly important. My men are still out there looking for him,” Du Jun continued.
Damn. Du Jun was surprised by how composed she was. What he said was actually an overstatement. It was not as serious as it seemed, and even if it was, there was nothing that he could not settle.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiao remained quiet for a while, so he assumed that she finally came to her senses.
“Girl, don’t be afraid. His safety is guaranteed,” he hastily added.
“I’m not afraid. I know where to find him,” Ye Qiao finally answered with a smile.
…
There was a training facility located somewhere in N City.
The soldiers were having their training exercise when two all-terrain vehicles drove past the field. The men watched in admiration, as the vehicles were only reserved for the Special Forces.
The members of the Special Forces were each equipped with a semi-automatic rifle, which was the highest quality of its kind. Insolently, they looked at the soldiers on the ground defiantly.
The Special Forces were said to be here for a friendly match, but knowing how typically arrogant they were, they would most probably end up in an intense rivalry with the soldiers.
As soon as they arrived at the base, Lu Beixiao jumped off from the vehicle and went to see Lao Cai in haste.
“What’s the matter?”
“Report. Squadron Leader Cai, I’d like to take the day off!”
A day off? Lao Cai squinted at Lu Beixiao, for he had never requested for a day off before.
“What’s the reason?” Lao Cai leaned back on his desk and took a sip of his tea.
