Chapter 225: Walk straight into the trap

Translator: Vesper

The silvers that were sent to the disaster area were all well calculated. Without that few million silvers, how would the people in those areas get through? Xiao Qi Feng didn’t even dare to think about it.

“D*** it, how dare they do this.” Xiao Qi Feng held the evidence in his hands firmly, his face entirely dark.

However, what was funny was that the corruption of the Xiao Residence, wasn’t because Xiao Yi Lin was corrupted, but the heir, Xiao Ming Ren, who did it behind his back.

The heir of the Xiao Residence was Xiao Zi Xuan’s brother, his identity and methods were not bad, but his heart was somewhat greedy. No matter what, his actions had brought trouble to the entire Xiao Residence.

“Tian Chang, I’ll hand this matter over to you. I’ll cooperate with you.” Xiao Qi Feng said sullenly.

Whether it was related to Xiao Yi Lin or not, it was because of his poor upbringing that resulted in it.

Wasn’t the reason why Xiao Ming Ren could do such a thing was because he had the backing of Emperor Xiao?

Xiao Tian Chang nodded and pointed to those boxes in the courtyard, “Half for you.”

“Isn’t that the way it should be?” Xiao Qi Feng raised his eyebrows. Was he saying that on purpose?

Qiao Tian Chang gave a glance at Xiao Qi Feng before turning his head away quietly. He could actually not give him.

“Say another word and I won’t give you a single copper.” This was what they had obtained, there was nothing he could say even if he was given nothing.

Xiao Qi Feng glanced at Qiao Tian Chang at a loss for words, “You’re still short on money?” He had a rich wife, how could he be short on money?

Xiao Qi Feng looked at Qiao Tian Chang in disdain, “Would you find the money in your Treasury too much?”

Xiao Qi Feng almost choked by his words and went silent.

As the emperor of the country, of course he’d hope that the money in the treasury would grow more and more.

The amount of all the gold and silvers here added up to be around a few million worth of liang. It was a lot obtaining half of them. He should be satisfied.

“I’ll send someone over to move them.”

“Come here in secret, don’t make a big scene. I still have to keep these to make a certain someone fall into the trap.” Qiao Tian Chang sneered.

He did not think that Qiao Zheng Hong would just leave them be. So what if he had a calculative person like Qiao Lin beside him? That was only one person, he wouldn’t worry about that at all.

“Are you sure they will come?”

“You can stay and watch.” Qiao Tian Chang told him lightly.

Xiao Qi Feng squinted his eyes at Qiao Tian Chang, he realized he was slowly unable to understand him. Qiao Tian Chang had kept to himself, no one had a clue what he was thinking, including his brother.

If it wasn’t because he believed that Qiao Tian Chang wouldn’t betray him, he would already have developed suspicions against Qiao Tian Chang.

“Tian Chang, you......”

“Qi Feng, no matter what I do, I will never hurt the country or you.” Qiao Tian Chang affirmed as Xiao Qi Feng gave him a complicated look, as if he wanted to ask something but didn’t know how to put it into words.

Xiao Qi Feng let out a deep sigh. He looked at Qiao Tian Chang with a complex look, “I’m not worried about that. I trust you, but I’m more worried about you.”

This couple were behaving the same way. Qiao Tian Chang carried anger and restrain previously, but he didn’t have any of that this time. It was as if nothing had happened, and it made Xiao Qi Feng worried.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The only reason he could keep it that way must be because he had restrained all of his emotions. Looking at Ning Meng Yao, if it wasn’t because he knew that she now knew everything, Xiao Qi Feng would never believed how mad she must be with that indifferent smile on her face.

“Isn’t it good this way?” Not revealing any emotions, his judgements would remain unaffected when he them into hell. After all, a mind clouded with rage would not be beneficial for them to get things done.

Xiao Qi Feng was unable to refute, he only glanced at the both of them in worry.

It looked like the both of them became ruthless from anger, even their personalities had taken a change, and it was really worrying.

Xiao Qi Tian observed Ning Meng Yao and was in a bit of a headache, “Meng Yao, tell me if there’s anything you need my help with.” It seemed like this was the only thing he could say to her now.

Ning Meng Yao nodded with a smile. She didn’t reject Xiao Qi Tian’s good intentions, but she didn’t intend to use his strength either. If she couldn’t even see this through, then it would be best for them to stop early.
