Chapter 61: Qiao Lian’s Warning
Yu Yao raised King’s paw and waved it at Qiao Lian. Such a childish action was done very naturally by her. Qiao Lian rubbed King’s head. King seemed to understand that Qiao Lian was going to leave him for the time being and took the initiative to nuzzle against his palm a few times.
Hence, Qiao Lian smiled. “You’re happy that I’m not taking you abroad, right?”
Then he raised his hand and placed his warm and dry palm on the top of Yu Yao’s head. Under her stunned gaze, he rubbed her head gently, just like he had done with King.
“Actually, compared to King, I’m more worried about you. But judging from the performance of the Yu family recently, they seem to treat you quite well. In that case, I won’t take unnecessary action to protect you.”
Yu Yao turned back to look at Yu Jue, who was using a cautious gaze to stare at her and Qiao Lian’s positions. He looked like he was itching to separate them.
Yu Yao snorted lightly. Her heart softened as she said, “Yu Heng and Yu Lang are just barely useful. Yu Jue will only cause me trouble. But I don’t need their protection. I can protect myself.”
What a tsundere! Her personality was identical to a cat’s. As this went through Qiao Lian’s head, he couldn’t help but raise his hand to pet Yu Yao’s head again.
Yu Yao took a step back and glared at Qiao Lian. “Are you done? If you touch me again, I’m going to get angry.”
Yu Jue seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “That’s right. Men and women should not touch each other. Mr. Qiao, if you don’t know your limits, I, as her brother, will not hesitate to hurt you!”
The only response to Yu Jue was a fleeting glance. Then, as if he hadn’t heard his threat, Qiao Lian very calmly turned around and spoke to Yu Yao.
“I know you’re not a weak little girl, but do you know what a huge organization you are facing? They have countless tricks up their sleeve. No matter how careful you are, you might still be caught by them. When that happens, no one knows what terrifying things will happen.”
Yu Yao was not blindly arrogant. She nodded to express that she accepted Qiao Lian’s kind advice. Then, she suddenly reacted and looked up at Qiao Lian with a burning gaze. “You know that organization? Do you have specific information about them? Or are you…”
Looking into those suspicious eyes, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but raise his hand and gently knock on Yu Yao’s head. Then he sighed and said, “Sometimes I think you’re quite smart. Why are you so stupid now? You actually suspect that I’m closely related to that organization. If I were really a stakeholder, do you think I would still be so friendly with you?”
In fact, right after Yu Yao asked that question, she realized that she had been overthinking things. Perhaps it was because Qiao Lian’s background was too mysterious and powerful, and Yu Yao happened to be facing a powerful and mysterious opponent at this time and could not help but associate Qiao Lian with that organization.
Yu Yao blinked innocently, determined not to admit that she had misunderstood Qiao Lian. “You’re wrong. I didn’t suspect you at all. You’re such a kind person. How can you be related to that kind of criminal organization?”
Of course Qiao Lian knew that Yu Yao was deceiving him. He shook his head helplessly and chuckled. “Forget it. I won’t haggle with you. I just want to remind you to be careful recently. Although I’m not a stakeholder of that criminal organization, I’m their old rival. I know their style of doing things. I don’t want to hear news of you getting into an accident after I return to China.”
Although he knew that Qiao Lian was reminding Yu Yao to be careful, Yu Jue felt that this person’s words were very unpleasant. He muttered softly, “What are you talking about? With us protecting Yaoyao, nothing will happen to her.”
Qiao Lian and Yu Yao both glanced at Yu Jue, then ignored this guy who suddenly interrupted.
Yu Yao asked Qiao Lian, “Does what you’re going abroad to handle have anything to do with that organization?”
“You’re right. It’s because of you that I suddenly have so much more work to do.”
Although he said that, Qiao Lian didn’t blame Yu Yao for causing trouble for him. He was just calmly explaining the situation.
“Your performance at the press conference gave that organization a certain amount of shock. Now, they probably think that a traitor has appeared in the organization, which is why the technology only they’re supposed to have was leaked. They’re probably contracting their external antennas and conducting a full investigation.”
This was all information that the Yu family could not obtain. After Yu Yao heard about it, she could not help but show a hint of happiness and smugness.
“As long as we can cause trouble for those people. If we keep hiding from them, they will probably hide in the deepest parts of the internet world. If that happens, it will be too troublesome to find them.”
Qiao Lian had the same thought. It was precisely because of this that while Yu Yao attracted the attention of that criminal organization and they were in a panic, Qiao Lian wanted to seize the opportunity to deal an even heavier blow to that organization.
