My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!

Chapter 34

For a Different Purpose

Chu Jia was a little dazed when she saw Qiao Yue’s cold face. She hesitated for a few seconds before she said, “Find Beelan Trand and kill him.”

The moment Beelan Trand was mentioned, Qiao Yue remembered who this person was. He was one of the most famous drug dealers in D-Country and ran all sorts of illegal businesses. Qiao Yue had met this person at Godfather’s place before. Godfather later cut off ties with this person because Qiao Yue disliked such people. Why would Godfather give Chu Jia such a mission now?

Also, didn’t Godfather put her in charge of all affairs in Z-Country? Why didn’t she know about this?

“I didn’t receive Godfather’s orders.”

Qiao Yue’s tone was calm, but Chu Jia shuddered. Although her boss was usually friendly, she was really scary when she was cold, especially when she was angry.

“Boss, Godfather said that you’re back with the Qiao family for a break and to fulfill your filial duties, so he asked us not to disturb you.”

Chu Jia only hesitated for two seconds before telling Qiao Yue.

“Just like this?”

“Yes, boss. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Godfather.”

Qiao Yue fell into deep thought after hearing Chu Jia’s words. She felt that her return to the Qiao family this time was not as easy as she had imagined.

If the Qiao family disliked her because she might take away some of their inheritance, then what about the things that Qiao Yu said her mother took away and the third family’s involvement with drug dealers?

Qiao Yue massaged her temples as she said, “What’s the relationship between Qiao Xin and Trand?”

Chu Jia had always been thorough in her work, and she quickly gave an answer to Qiao Yue’s question.

“According to our investigation, the third Qiao family purposely got close to Trand. Trand is one of the richest person in the country. He was attracted to Qiao Xin when they met at a banquet a month ago, and the two have been in contact since.”

International drug lord attracted to Qiao Xin? Qiao Yue wanted to laugh when she heard this.

As a notorious drug lord in Country-D, what kind of woman had Trand not toyed with? Given Qiao Xin’s intelligence, she probably wouldn’t even last one round.

Based on this, Qiao Yue guessed that Trand didn’t fancy Qiao Xin but the Qiao family.

Although the Qiao family was one of the top families in Country-Z, there were many similar families internationally. What did Trand see in the Qiao family?

“When was the order given? When do you plan to take action?” Qiao Yue asked.

“The assassination order was issued a week ago. We’ll attempt tonight.”

“Alright,” Qiao Yue responded and left the office.

Qiao Yue pinched her eyebrows. It was probably a coincidence! The Godfather’s order came before her bet.

On the way back to the room, Qiao Yue ran into Qiao Jing’s assistant, who bade her farewell and then left in a hurry.

When Qiao Yue returned to her seat, the auction had already begun.

Most of the items in this auction were paintings, porcelain, renowned tea and wine, jade, and other antiques. But there’s always a pièce de résistance in every auction.

It wasn’t until the auction was coming to an end that Qiao Yue heard a winning bid from Private Room 7. That person had bought two diamond necklaces and an ancient painting.

Finally, the pièce de résistance – a 45% stake in Ruiding!

Ruiding wasn’t a top company, but they owned a 4D holographic projection technology that many people coveted. If anyone won this auction, they would own a piece of the holographic projection market in future.

Just as Qiao Yue was thinking about whether she should get someone to put in a bid, Private Room 7 had already started bidding. It seemed that Trand wanted to use this technology to break into the Z-Country market.

The price was getting higher and higher, from 50 million to 200 million yuan in just a few minutes. At this time, Qiao Jing also pressed the button beside him, and the voice of the host came from below.

“Room 6, 300 million yuan.”

The crowd did not expect the price to increase by 100 million, and mutterings were heard from the hall.

From eight or nine people bidding, it quickly became a bidding war between Qiao Jing and Trand.

Fortunately, Qiao Jing managed to win the bid and bought the shares at 630 million yuan.

Qiao Yue drummed her fingers on the armrest of the sofa and chuckled, “So second brother did not come here because of me, but for a different purpose.”

Qiao Jing glanced at Qiao Yue and lowered his eyes. “I heard that Ruiding’s shares may be auctioned at Yayi, so I came to take a look.”

“Ohhhh!”

Qiao Yue’s dragged out her reply, clearly not believing Qiao Jing’s words.

However, Qiao Yue wasn’t one to get to the bottom of things. She quickly changed the subject and asked, “Are we going to find Qiao Xin or continue to the ball?”
