Chapter 3

Going to War?

After searching the bag inside out, Qiao Yue found a less conspicuous Walther PPS. She checked the magazine and then kept it at her waist.

“Take the rest away.”

“Yes, boss.”

After the two of them left, Qiao Yue took out a simple-looking dagger from under her pillow. Just a gentle wave of this weapon produced a cold light, which showed how sharp the dagger was.

In the car, Qiao Jing was looking through the information he got on Qiao Yue. The information showed that he was born and raised in Nanshan Village before he went to school in town. He went on to study at an ordinary high school and there were no special circumstances during this period.

Suddenly, the car door was pulled open.

Qiao Jing only heard “let’s go!” before two bags were squeezed into the backseat.

“Scram. Put your luggage in the trunk and sit in the front.”

Qiao Jing’s voice seemed to contain ice shards, and his eyes were throwing knives at Qiao Yue.

When the driver saw this, he quickly trembled out of the car and ran to Qiao Yue.

“Fifth young master, give me your things. I’ll help you put them away.”

Qiao Yue didn’t answer. She stacked her two bags and was about to get into the car. She didn’t know why, but she really wanted to oppose Qiao Jing. Perhaps it’s because she couldn’t stand his ostentatious attitude.

Just as Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing were in a stalemate, a sudden cry of surprise sounded in the village.

As the sound drew closer, Qiao Yue saw a red limited edition sports car driving towards her. She felt that the color was way too eye-catching.

“Get in the car, let’s go.”

Qiao Yue could hear the impatience in Qiao Jing’s voice and looked at him in surprise.

Who was it that could make this block of ice display other emotions?

Hearing Qiao Jing’s order, the driver ignored Qiao Yue’s luggage and quickly said to Qiao Yue, “Fifth young master, let’s go!”

“Second brother, why are you leaving the moment you saw me?”

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Qiao Yue’s heart stirred.

Everyone had a voice they liked, and Qiao Yue was no exception.

To her, Qiao Jing’s voice was like a spring in cold winter, while this person’s voice was like the best wine on summer nights. Just listening to it made her intoxicated.

The man took off his sunglasses and looked at Qiao Yue with a smile in his dreamy eyes.

“So, you are my fifth brother Qiao Yue?”

“Yes.”

Qiao Yue flashed a smile at the man, causing the man to raise his eyebrows and size Qiao Yue up with interest.

“The soft skin and tender flesh make you look like a girl. Kid, what’s wrong with your neck?”

Although the man was sitting in a car, his aura wasn’t diminished at all. His gaze did not feel frivolous. Overall, Qiao Yue had a pretty good impression of this man.

“Qiao Ze, only good things will make you wake up so early,” sneered Qiao Jing before Qiao Yue could answer Qiao Ze.

“Same.” When he was talking to Qiao Yue, Qiao Ze was still kind, but when it came to Qiao Jing, not only his words but even his attitude was provocative.

Qiao Ze got out of his car, walked to Qiao Yue’s side, and looked inside Qiao Jing’s car.

“I can’t compare with second brother’s business style. When I heard that grandfather wanted to find aunt, I couldn’t wait to grow wings so I could bring Qiao Yue back quickly.”

Qiao Yue understood the enmity between the brothers of the Qiao family.

The old master of the Qiao family had three sons. The eldest and second son had two sons each, and the third son had two daughters. It could be said that the Qiao family was prosperous.

Because they both had sons, the eldest and second sons were courteous to each other but fought fiercely in private. They both wanted to please the old master so that when the old master passed, they could have a bigger share of the inheritance.

However, in Qiao Yue’s opinion, all the grandchildren of the Qiao family were quite outstanding. Why would they need to fight tooth and nail for that bit of inheritance?

Just as Qiao Yue was watching the drama before her in a daze, the flames of war reached her unknowingly.

“Qiao Yue, get in the car.”

“Fifth brother, look at how ugly your second brother’s car is. Come with third brother. Third brother will take you for a ride and have some fun. We’re not in a hurry to go home.”

The two of them spoke at the same time. Their eyes met and sparks flew.

If the drama didn’t involve her, Qiao Yue would happily watch it from the sidelines with a plate of fruit.

Seeing that they were both waiting for her answer, Qiao Yue beamed and said, “I really don’t know how to choose between 2nd and 3rd brother’s invitation, so in order to not disappoint you, I...”

Qiao Yue said as she took her bags out of Qiao Jing’s car.

Qiao Ze’s eyes lit up when he saw this while Qiao Jing stared coldly at Qiao Yue’s face.
