Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Xiao Yao looked back at Xiao Yan, sat down on the sofa expressionlessly and turned on the TV. “She is taking a nap after having lunch. I’ll tell her you are on a business trip when she wakes up.”

Xiao Yan nodded. “Okay, she hasn’t recovered. Don’t wake her up. I’m going upstairs to pack.”

Xiao Yao nodded. Tang Xi who was driving to the airport must be very grateful if she knew her biological brother was so thoughtful.

Xiao Yao was relieved after seeing Xiao Yan out. Then he felt funny when he recalled how nervous he was just now.

He took his cell phone and sent a message to Tang Xi in WeChat. Then his cell phone dinged. He thought it must be Tang Xi’s message, so he turned on WeChat with a smile. But when he saw who the message sender was, he paused and then clicked on the message.

He Wanyi: Xiao Yao, are you available tonight? Let’s have dinner together?

Perhaps because Xiao Yao didn’t reply to her message for long, soon the second message of hers popped out.

He Wanyi: Didn’t you say you owe me one? Then pay me back tonight.

Xiao Yao looked at the message. It had been quite a while before he replied: I’m free. You name the place.

He Wanyi: Okay, I’ll send you a message after I make reservation.

Xiao Yao: Okay.

…

He Wanyi looked at the short reply and frowned unhappily. It had been quite a while before she put away her cell phone and said to her assistant, “Book a table in a restaurant with fewer customers.”

The assistant nodded, signaled the make-up artist to put on makeup for He Wanyi and said, “There is a good Chinese food restaurant on the riverside. It’s a membership restaurant, so it doesn’t have many customers. I’ll book a table now.”

“Wait a minute.” He Wanyi stopped her assistant from making the call and said with a frown, “Book a table in a restaurant with expensive and bad food.”

Her assistant gave her a questioning look, but the latter just looked at her. She could only nod. “Okay, I’ll do it now.”

He Wanyi closed her eyes and let the make-up artist put on the makeup for her.

…

Tang Xi and Qiao Liang put on the skin masks in the car. Qiao Liang didn’t use the skin mask he used before but used a common-looking one. Although this skin mask couldn’t cover up his domineering aura, he didn’t stand out that much in the crowd with this skin mask.

Tang Xi looked at him and laughed. “Why did you change your skin mask?”

“I showed up in France with this skin mask and some people have seen my face, so I can’t use it again.” Qiao Liang touched the skin mask on his face. “This is newly developed by Long Xiao. No one will recognize me when I wear it.”

Tang Xi shrugged. “I don’t mind as long as you stay by my side.” Then she took his arm and closed her eyes for rest, asking, “How did Grandpa Qin get Qin Xinying out of the police station? It must have taken him a lot of effort.”

“Well, it didn’t take him much effort, but…” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and lowered his voice. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Tang Xi paused, opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Liang in confusion. “What do you mean?”

Qiao Liang looked into her eyes and tightly held the uninjured hand of hers, asking hoarsely, “Why didn’t you tell me Qin Xinying had a part in the air crash killing you?”

Tang Xi paused and then looked at Qiao Liang in surprise. “How did you come to know this?”

“So it’s true!” He began to suspect Qin Xinying after he investigated the Tang family people, so he tested Tang Xi just now. It turned out that that woman did play a part in that accident!

Tang Xi immediately understood what he meant. She took a breath and pursed her lips. “I just suspected her in the beginning, but I was sure that she did play a part in the air crash after I talked with her that time with the identity of Tang Xi.”

“So it’s not enough for her if she just stays in jail for several months for the crime of intentional injury.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and said word by word, “She must pay you back with her own life!”

Tang Xi froze and then stared at Qiao Liang with wide open eyes. “You want to kill her?” She shook her head. “No, Ah Liang, I don’t want you to get your hands dirty because of me.”

“No, I won’t get my hands dirty.” Qiao Liang rubbed at her hair and said in a lowered voice, “I’ll let her step onto a road of no return herself.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and told him her plan. “Since she is so desperate to kill me, we can let her kill me once again. As long as she kills Tang Xi once again and leaves evidence, the Qin’s Group won’t be able to save her again no matter how hard they try.”

“No, I still need to find a person.” Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes. “I had been wondering how that woman came to know my whereabouts. Only people in Long Xiao would know this information.”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang in shock. “You mean there is a mole in Long Xiao?”

“No, someone purposely leaked my whereabouts to her.” Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”

Tang Xi nodded and didn’t speak, wondering who on earth leaked his whereabouts to Qin Xinying.

The two of them arrived at the airport. Qiao Liang bought an air ticket and didn’t take his own plane. Tang Xi sat in the chair and waited for Qiao Liang who was checking in. Just then, she saw a familiar figure. It was Xiao Yan! She immediately got nervous, but then she remembered she was wearing a skin mask, so she told herself to relax.

At this time, Qiao Liang came over. He had seen Xiao Yan too, but he just ignored him, walked up to Tang Xi and handed her the boarding pass. “Let’s go in.”

Tang Xi nodded and whispered, “What a small world! Yan took a plane from the same airline as us.”

Seeing she was nervous, Qiao Liang smiled. “Why are you so nervous? He doesn’t know you now.”

“It’s conditioned reflex, okay?” Tang Xi said and took a look at Xiao Yan. “Let’s go into the departure lounge. I’m nervous about seeing my brother here.”

Qiao Liang shook his head with a laugh and followed Tang Xi into the VIP lounge.

To Tang Xi’s surprise, Xiao Yan entered the same lounge with them!

Didn’t Yao say Yan was going to Switzerland?! Why did he enter this lounge?!

Qiao Liang also raised his eyebrows in surprise. He took out his cell phone and searched for flight information. Then he sat down beside Tang Xi, whispering to her, “He needs to go to the capital in transit.”
