Chapter 96
Shang Yiran rubbed his brows and suddenly felt that he was a complete idiot for agreeing to Qiao Ye.
Although she had expected from the beginning that Qiao Ye would not be so kind as to offer her such a generous salary.
But after actually coming into contact with him, is there anything this beast Qiao Ye can't do?
"Didn't Aye deal with the Felipe family before? How come they can still jump around at this time?" Xue Xiaochen asked.
Although she didn't know everything about Qiao Ye's plan, she could more or less guess some of the important steps.
"The main problem now is not Felipe. But if the police station in Michiroda finds Joe guilty of murder, we must sacrifice our car to save our king." He Shanyi's voice dropped several degrees.
“…”
The four people fell silent again.
"Can we just get rid of Felipe's family directly?" Xia Yi said.
"It would be best if we could resolve it. It's a pity that it might be too late now." He Shan glanced at Xue Xiaochen beside him. "If they had taken action before, we could have just used it as an excuse to make a move, but now Joe has just come out of the fire. Felipe may be a loser, but the family behind him is not all losers. The fire has attracted attention from all over the world. They are local tyrants, so it's very easy for them to find out what happened that night."
"I'll handle things here." Shang Yiran finally made the final decision. "Since He Shanyi's situation is almost settled, you should go find Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng has returned to China now, so we need to get something out of him."
"good."
Before hanging up the phone, Xue Xiaochen said, "If Qiao wakes up, please tell her to call me back."
"must."
Xia Yi sat on the sofa not far from her.
Shang Yiran just stood up and walked into Qiao Ye's room again.
The room was filled with sophisticated instruments, and Qiao Ye's body was filled with all kinds of tubes. If it weren't for the broken line on the electrocardiogram next to him, no one would have thought that this person was still alive.
She closed the door, isolating Xia Yi outside.
Walk into the room and take out a small stool.
Apart from one of Joe's hands with an IV hanging outside, only his head was exposed.
But even so, her head was wrapped with layer upon layer of thick bandages, and she looked like a mummy.
Only the slight rise and fall of her chest proved that she was still alive.
Shang Yiran pursed his lips. "If you can still hear me, then listen. Of course, if my words can wake you up, that would be even better."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the drip hanging above, "I just spoke to Xue Xiaochen and the others on the phone. The current situation has become very troublesome. Pei Qing has left the Xue Group and will probably arrive in Country M tonight at the latest. She probably came here to look for you. Qiao Yang's current whereabouts are uncertain, so even we can't be sure where he is now."
"The Xue Group is now in the hands of Xue Xiaochen, but I'm afraid it's impossible to completely change the internal blood."
"As for Country M, you were filmed trying to vent your anger on Pei Qing. Now someone has reported you for murder, and it won't be long before the police come here. But this isn't a big deal, as the K Chamber of Commerce is backing you up."
"The only problem now is, if you're convicted of murder, then Summer, if you want to go public, you'll have to sacrifice her to save her. Without Summer, how will you resolve the situation between you and your father?"
"So, Qiao Ye. If it were you, what would you choose to do?"
It was unclear whether her last sentence was really a question to Qiao Ye or just to herself.
Having said that, she could only sigh softly.
"It's all my fault that I ended up with a friend like you."
"Alright. No matter how much I say, you, lying in bed, won't give me any response. So just rest here by yourself. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she was about to leave, but when she reached the door, she suddenly thought of something and stopped, turning to look at the person on the bed. "Oh, by the way, if you can wake up, remember to come out to me. Also, your partner is here, so you might not be able to see him."
She left the room.
Therefore, she did not see that the person on the bed moved his index finger slightly.
The amplitude is very small, and if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to see it.
After moving once, there was no further movement.
Shang Yiran looked at Xia Yi who was sitting outside, "How is Summer doing now?"
"Everything is ready, just waiting to be launched."
"I'm really sorry for the recent Summer incident."
This is Shang Yiran's sincere gratitude.
Although she has always been in contact with Qiao Ye, she has also noticed the follower behind Qiao Ye.
His only shortcoming is that he never went to college. After completing nine years of education, he entered the society and started working hard.
I also followed Qiao all the way to Country M.
"It's okay. This is what I should do." Xia Yi shook his head and glanced at the time. "I should go back now. I'll leave Mr. Qiao to you."
"Yeah. I know."
*
Xia Yi sat in the car and took a deep breath.
It is only now that I can finally take a break from the non-stop work for a month, and even a short rest will make me feel deeply exhausted.
Then he drove to Summer's office.
He thought he really needed some sleep now.
But before he could go back, he saw someone arguing at the company's front desk.
Originally, he was not going to take care of this matter. After all, some things are the job of the front desk staff.
But unexpectedly, when passing by the front desk, I suddenly heard a familiar name: "I'm here to see Qiao Ye."
Few people in Summer know the name Qiao Ye. Even if they do, they will only call him "Qiao" because in the eyes of the M people, the name Qiao is very similar to their own names.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the person next to him.
She was a girl still wearing a school uniform.
He looks to be no more than ten years old.
But the front desk clerk didn’t know Qiao Ye at all, so they could only answer, “There is no such person in the company.”
The girl obviously didn't believe them.
She tried to tell them what she knew, "I know she's an employee of yours. I have evidence..."
But the receptionist could only maintain a professional smile, "I'm sorry, miss. It seems that there is no such person in our company..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Xia Yi making a gesture to them.
Then he shut up knowingly.
The girl was a little surprised to see that they stopped talking.
Then he felt as if there was someone behind him, so he quickly turned his head and saw Xia Yi, who looked a little tired.
"You are..." She was a little surprised.
She was not a fool, so she could naturally see that the receptionist seemed to respect the young man in front of her.
"Come with me." Xia Yi said, "If you want to find someone."
"good."
Xia Yi took the girl to the exclusive elevator.
He leaned against the inside of the elevator and closed his eyes, hoping to take a short nap while the elevator was rising.
The girl stood the farthest away from him, and seemed to not want to have any contact with him at all.
Until the elevator dinged and stopped at the highest floor of the entire Summer.
The young man opened his eyes and strode forward.
Only after seeing him leave did the girl hurry to follow him.
The top floor is their office.
The innermost one is Qiao Ye's office, and his office is next to Qiao Ye, and opposite is the secretary's office.
Seeing him coming up, someone nodded slightly, "Good morning, Manager Xia."
"Good morning."
He did not bring the girl into his office. After all, there are differences between men and women, and he did not want to cause trouble for himself for the time being.
So the two of them came to the reception room.
The girl looked at him, unsure of what he meant. She could only tentatively ask, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't you want to find Qiao Ye?" Xia Yi glanced at her and said lightly.
Sure enough, the girl's eyes lit up when she heard his words, and she quickly asked, "Do you know where she is?"
"I don't know." Xia Yi shook his head and sat down opposite her.
The girl's loss was visibly evident.
"But if you could tell me what you were doing with her, maybe I could find out."
The girl looked up at him and she understood what Xia Yi meant.
He knew, but he wanted to know what her purpose was in coming here.
"I..." The girl tugged at the corner of her clothes awkwardly, as if she was hesitating whether to speak or not.
"Of course you have the right not to tell me, but I also have the obligation not to answer you."
Xia Yi was not in a hurry and just waited for her.
He had already guessed who the girl in front of him was.
At this age, and being a person who can still accurately say Qiao Ye's name, I'm afraid there is no one else except the legendary illegitimate daughter of Qiao Yang.
After a while, the girl mustered up her courage and whispered, "My...my name is Qiao Anning. Qiao Ye...Qiao Ye is mine..."
The further she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
I couldn't even make out the last two words.
"Then you should also know what your current identity is." Xia Yi said.
"I know……"
"So, what are you doing here with Joe?"
Hearing his question, the girl remained silent again, as if she didn't want to tell the reason.
"Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't had direct contact with Qiao Ye, right?"
"No, no, no," the girl said hurriedly, "I... I've seen her... and, and talked to her..."
"Then is there anything you don't want to say?"
“…”
The girl seemed to have difficulty in saying what she was going to say next.
But now Xia Yi follows Qiao Ye all the year round, and the pressure he exerts may not be enough in the eyes of Qiao Ye and his group.
But it's enough for a girl who is still on campus.
"I know she hates illegitimate children, and I happen to be that illegitimate child..."
When she said this, the girl's expression was very depressed, as if she knew that saying this would annoy people, but she still said it.
"Then you should also know that many things are not something I can decide."
"Yes, I know." The girl said, "But I have a reason to come..."
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Xia Yi looked at her with interest. "If your reasons are not sufficient, then I think there is nothing more to talk about between you and me."
Qiao Anning slowly raised her head. "Mom is sick and needs money for medical treatment. But when I went to withdraw money from the foundation left by Dad...Father, I was told that I no longer had the right to withdraw money there..."
After she said that, Xia Yi understood.
The foundation that Qiao Yang left behind at that time was probably the foundation under the name of K Chamber of Commerce.
Since Shang Yiran accepted the K Chamber of Commerce, he naturally wouldn't give her any more money.
He looked at her, feeling somewhat helpless. "I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. Or rather, even if Qiao came in person, he wouldn't be able to help you."
His words were like thunder out of the blue, leaving the girl in disbelief.
She stood up in a panic, "Why? If... if it's my problem, I can change it..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Xia Yi waving her hands with a look of pity: "Because this is what Qiao Ye meant."
