148 Face-off

“Just you?” There was a deep chill in Trand’s voice.

Qiao Yue twirled her long wavy hair and smiled, “Naturally, it’s just me.”

Trand looked Qiao Yue up and down, and his expression became gloomier. “Miss Chu, you’re very courageous. I wonder if you have this courage or did someone give it to you?”

Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows and met Trand’s eyes dauntlessly. She had been living on the edge since her teenage years, so she wasn’t bothered by Trand’s threats.

Crossing her legs, Qiao Yue said slowly, “Mr. Jiang, what are you saying? We’re a business and we welcome our guests. Why are you talking about courage?”

!!

Trand’s alias in C-Country was Jiang Zhao. Outsiders called him Mr. Jiang, so Qiao Yue followed suit.

As long as Trand didn’t corner her, Qiao Yue would play dumb with him. She wasn’t in a hurry anyway.

Trand squinted and studied Qiao Yue. To him, the current “Chu Jia” was different from the one he had met before. Was it possible that Chu Jia was hiding her true self before and was only revealing her true nature now?

But, since Trand had brought so many people here today, he was not here to chat with Qiao Yue. He waved his hand, and Qiao Yue had a few dark muzzles aimed at her.

“When I left Yayi that day, Miss Chu gave me a big gift. I’ve been thinking about how to repay you.” Trand said with a gloomy face.

For the sake of her life, Qiao Yue cooperated and put her hands up.

“I don’t quite understand what Mr. Jiang means by that. Did someone here offend Mr. Jiang and make you unhappy?” Qiao Yue asked as if she didn’t know anything.

Trand replied with a sinister smile, “If you don’t understand, then Miss Chu, please come with us. I’ll make you understand.”

Qiao Yue squinted and got up and moved in the direction Trand’s men pointed with their guns.

After capturing “Chu Jia”, Trand did not want to hang around Yayi Club and took his men to leave.

Trand had thought that it would be difficult to take Chu Jia away. He didn’t expect Chu Jia to follow him so willingly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although he had brought enough men and his team wouldn’t be disadvantaged in a gunfight, it’s not unusual if Chu Jia chose to follow them. But he still felt that things had gone too smoothly.

Qiao Yue could feel Trand’s gaze on her as she moved forward with guns pointed at her.

“Miss chu, you’re leaving with me so easily. Have you already made plans?” Trand asked casually from behind Qiao Yue.

Just as Qiao Yue was about to stop and answer Trand, the person behind her noticed her intention and pressed his gun against Qiao Yue’s waist, forcing her to move forward.

“Mr. Jiang, you’ve brought so many men to my club. I don’t think I can fight you head-on, so I might as well go with you. Once I resolve whatever misunderstanding I have with Mr. Jiang, I’m sure you’ll send me back safely.” Qiao Yue answered unhurriedly.

Trand chuckled at Qiao Yue’s reply, as if he was mocking Qiao Yue’s naivety for not admitting to what had happened before.

From the Yayi lobby to the club entrance, they didn’t meet anyone else, including the serious-looking waiter whom she met on her way in, who had also disappeared.

Qiao Yue praised the assistant’s speed in her heart. Although Yayi was the organization’s clean business, they were still on high alert. Once there was a crisis, they always had a safe place for their employees.

“Miss Chu, you are really good, to be able to hide so many employees of Yayi.” Trand said in a strange tone as he also noticed the strangeness at Yayi.

Qiao Yue chuckled. “Mr. Jiang is only unhappy with me. I have to take care of the others, right? They are just here to work. It’s not good for them to suffer any unexpected disaster.”

Trand sneered. “Miss Chu, you’re a rather competent boss.”

Trand gestured for his men to search Yayi as he spoke.

In the meantime, Qiao Yue was brought to their car under threat. To avoid any mishaps, Trand motioned for his men to tie Qiao Yue’s hands and feet before putting her in the car.
