Chapter 370: Came Back

Qiao Liang took a look at him and was about to dial that number again. Chu Ling almost burst into tears. He looked at Qiao Liang helplessly and said, “Two more years. That’s it.”

Qiao Liang looked at Chu Ling and said, “Five years. Or go back to your father and stay by his side for the rest of your life. It’s your choice.’

“Shares.” Chu Ling relaxed his grip on Qiao Liang’s legs and sat down casually on the sofa. He looked at Qiao Liang and pursed his lips. “Give me the shares of Long Xiao Group. As for The Queen, I’ll work there for five years, and I will be free in five years.”

Qiao Liang smiled, looked at Chu Ling and sat down on another sofa. “I remember you’re a lone wolf.”

“Lone wolf?” Chu Ling snorted and said, “Being chased around and back-stabbed, I don’t see any benefit from being a lone wolf! With you guys behind me, my father can’t take me back even if he knows about my whereabouts.”

Qiao Liang smiled, got up to pour two glasses of red wine and handed one glass to Chu Ling as he said, “Congratulations, I’m very satisfied with your answer. I’ll help you stop your father if he wants to catch you and take you back.”

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, “Thanks.” Then he suddenly stood up and asked, “Oh, where is my savior?”

“I’m here.” Tang Xi walked out of the room and smiled at Chu Ling, explaining to him, “Qiao Liang made such a fuss. I was too tired, so I fell asleep. I didn’t expect him to make such a fuss that he would even send me to the hospital. Sorry for making you stay overnight in the car in such cold weather. He has prepared breakfast. Let’s go see the show field after breakfast, okay?”

“Yes, Three. You finally came back to us. How I have missed you.” Just then, Lu Li also walked out of another room, holding a portion of breakfast in his hand. Chu Ling suddenly had a feeling that he was tricked by them. He lunged to his feet and roared, “Qiao Liang, were you tricking me??”

“She didn’t wake up indeed when you called me last night.” Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi, and the latter went to pick a portion of breakfast and hid behind Lu Li in guilt holding the breakfast. Lu Li took a look at Tang Xi and then looked back at Chu Ling, saying, “Don’t be angry. I had already asked you to follow us, but you rejected me, saying you were a lone wolf. Now after suffering for so many years, do you think all your sufferings were worth it?”

“Don’t call me Three!” Chu Ling gave a threatening glance at Lu Li and snorted. “You just folded your hands, waited to see me die, and pretended not to know me! Sh*t, how do you have the nerve to say this to me?You let me join Long Xiao just to get my intelligence network!”

“That’s true.” Qiao Liang looked at Chu Ling and the latter narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiao Liang. If this guy dared say anything annoying, he would pounce on him and beat him up. However, Qiao Liang merely smiled and said, “But what we value most is you.”

Tang Xi smiled. “Come on, why didn’t you tell me you already knew each other? When I met Chu Ling in that restaurant, I thought he was an underworld big-shot. But then I found out that he was really afraid of Qiao Liang, and you told me that he agreed to help me because he owed Qiao Liang one. It turns out that you have known each other for a long time.”

Lu Li smiled and said, “We came to know each other when we were kids. But Qiao Liang and I were sold to that island, whereas he was thrown there by his father. We became friends on that island, and I’ll tell you what happened among us later. We pretended not to know him, because he is a terrorist.”

“You’re a terrorist!” Chu Ling jumped in anger, “All your families are terrorists!”

Qiao Liang took a look at the two of them and said flatly, “Will you go see the show field?”

“Yes!” Chu Ling stood up and walked towards the dining table. “Of course I will go examine it! I’m the CEO of The Queen. This is the first show of my company. We must find the best field for the show.”

Tang Xi smiled and took a look at Qiao Liang to signal him to leave with her. The latter walked out of the room with her, and Lu Li and Chu Ling were still bickering. Tang Xi looked back at them and said with a smile, “I wouldn’t have known that the three of you are friends if I hadn’t seen you being so intimate with my own eyes. Just two days ago, they still looked unfamiliar to each other, but they have become good friends today.”

“Do you have something to tell me?” Qiao Liang closed the door and asked Tang Xi.

Tang Xi pursed her lips as she said, “Well, didn’t I tell people that I had gone to Italy, but there isn’t a record in customs about me coming from Italy to Paris. Today I want to watch Chanel’s show. And I’ll just briefly check our show field.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. You just need to get an invitation card…”

“It’s alright. The luxury brands will reserve special seats for me in their shows, and have given me special cards that will be valid forever. With these cards, I don’t need any invitation card.” Although the luxury brands would send her invitation cards, she actually didn’t need them. She could enter the show fields with her face or her special cards.

Qiao Liang nodded and called Little Six.

In the living room, Lu Li and Chu Ling had started a video conference with Lin Yuan. Seeing Chu Ling and Lu Li sitting together, Lin Yuan frowned and asked, “Seven, why are you sitting with Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu, did you drink with Seven last night?”

Chu Ling looked at Lin Yuan who pretended not to be familiar with him and snorted, “Stop pretending. Every time I see you pretend, I will think of…”

“Hey!” Lin Yuan had a hunch that Chu Ling was about to say something that he didn’t want to hear, so he hurriedly interrupted him. “Do I know you? We are strangers to each other! You know nothing about me, okay?”

“Don’t take me the wrong way. I have no interest in you. I’m not gay, unlike you…” Chu Ling snorted and Lin Yuan immediately screamed, “Sh*t, Three! How dare you mention that matter again? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been taken as…”

“Haha, I remember you just said we were strangers, right? Why did you yell at me? Do I know you?” Chu Ling sneered, looked at Lin Yuan and snorted again. “You must have mistaken me for someone else. After all, we’re strangers to each other, right?”

“Stop it, you guys.” Lu Li took the laptop from Chu Ling’s hand and said to Lin Yuan, “Three has come back. He’ll be part of Long Xiao.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes had a gleam of surprise and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li, asking, “Which able person made you come back? I remember Three had sworn that he would never come back to us.”

“Qiao Liang.”
