284 The Talk
But before Qiao Jing figured out why Qiao Yue was pretending to be a boy, he had to see Qiao Yu.
The stab to Qiao Yu’s abdomen had almost injured his internal organs, but he was lucky and survived after losing a lot of blood.
Qiao Yu was lying in a hospital bed. The TV in front of him was broadcasting the news, and his IV drip was delivering medicine, nutrients, and the like.
“How are you? Are you alright?” Qiao Jing sat down beside him and asked.
“I’m fine. I wonder how Qiao Yue is doing.” Qiao Yu’s eyes were glued to the TV screen.
News about Andy was being broadcasted.
Andy had become a wanted criminal internationally, but no one knew his whereabouts. The helicopter that carried him flew to X-Country, a small country neighboring C-Country.
X-Country was an internationally famous port. Business was usually chaotic, so it was a piece of cake to hide someone there.
All their leads were gone.
Besides, D-Country was not willing to cooperate with Andy’s arrest.
After all, a place like D-Country needed bold criminal likes Andy, who did not care about his life.
“We won’t be able to catch Andy, and Oswald has applied for political asylum. Our operation seemed to be meaningless.” Qiao Yu touched the wound on his body.
It was a scar in the shape of a crescent moon, and this scar would probably accompany him for the rest of his life.
“We’ve already applied for bail for second uncle. You don’t have to worry. It’s just that he would have to stay at home for a while and be a prisoner at home.” Qiao Jing said.
Qiao Yu didn’t have much of a reaction. Instead, he asked, “How’s Qiao Yue?”
“Qiao Yue is fine. He’s just not in a good state of mind and needs to rest.”
“Is it because someone drugged him?”
“Yes.” Qiao Jing did not deny it.
Before this, he wouldn’t have told Qiao Yu any of this.
Qiao Yu was the original youngest son in the family. Unlike them, who had entered society, lived through more experiences and therefore had a deeper understanding of these unsavory things.
Qiao Yu, on the other hand, was a well-behaved and sensible boy who hadn’t finished school. Qiao Jing didn’t want him involved in these matters too early.
“The Qiao Corporation isn’t as simple as I thought, right?” Qiao Yu stared straight into Qiao Jing’s eyes.
Quai Yu had removed his usual mask completely, showing the claws and fangs of a wolf cub.
For some reason, Qiao Jing felt a little relieved.
His youngest brother seemed more mature than he thought. Perhaps he could share some responsibilities for the family soon.
“I have trained my own people outside of the Qiao Corporation. They now form an organization responsible for missions and investigations. I’ll give you their contact details later.” Qiao Jing said. “You can give them a mission if you encounter any problem.”
Qiao Yu smiled bitterly. “Does our Qiao family also do illegal things? Just like the Eugene’s?”
Qiao Jing shook his head. “No. I started training these people when I took over the Qiao Corporation. I need to be able to survive outside of the Qiao family. This was the only way I can run the Qiao Corporation without caring about the fight for family inheritance.”
Qiao Yu was a smart guy and immediately understood Qiao Jing’s intentions.
Qiao Yi couldn’t survive on his own, so he had to fight for the family inheritance. That was why he had gone astray and ended up in this situation.
“I know about Qiao Yue, but you have to keep it a secret.” Qiao Jing said, looking at Qiao Yu.
This was the main purpose of his visit today.
Qiao Yu had no intentions of exposing Qiao Yue after he found out about her true gender at the school infirmary. He was just curious as to why his sister had to dress up as a boy.
However, after learning this secret, his feelings for Qiao Yue became a little awkward.
Qiao Yue was not as simple and innocent as he thought. She was like a box full of secrets. Although he didn’t know if he would find disaster or hope when he opened the box, he was still very curious.
