196 The Plan

Looking at her brothers who were competing for no reason, Qiao Yue quickly said, “I’ll study hard. Why don’t both of you leave? I need some peace and quiet for my revisions.”

Qiao Jing didn’t look like he was leaving as he pulled up a chair and sat next to Qiao Yue. Although he didn’t say anything, his intentions were clear. Qiao Yu also showed no intention of leaving as he read a book with his head lowered.

Qiao Yue was a little speechless as she looked at the two people in her room who refused to leave. She had other things to do today. It’s impossible to carry out her plan with these two around.

Fortunately, Qiao Jing’s phone rang not long after. It seemed that something had happened at the company, and he had to go and take care of it.

Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Yu. “I’m almost done with my revision. Fourth brother, why don’t you go back first?”

Qiao Yu frowned and asked, “Really? You’ve finished studying? It’s only ten o’clock.”

“Really.” Qiao Yue nodded vigorously.

Qiao Yue pushed Qiao Yu out the door and heaved a sigh of relief after closing it.

What was going on with these two? Why must they gather at her room today?

Qiao Yue had already contacted Qiao Ze today. Arrangements had been made for people from Yayi to recce Qiao Ze’s KTV today, so that they could familiarize themselves with the layout and people there before the day of their mission.

Qiao Yue opened her laptop and read the message Xiao Jia sent her.

The KTV owned by Qiao Ze was named “Zeyu”. It was located in the middle of the main street of the city’s entertainment center, a prime location.

Although the location was very lively, the back door of the KTV opened into a dark and narrow alley.

The alley led to the only slum in the downtown area.

Most of the residents in the slum were poor migrant workers who came to the city to make a living. There were naturally many hooligans and gangsters, so it wasn’t the safest place in the city.

The government had no intention of managing the myriad of people there, so it had always been chaotic. Illegal merchandises and trafficked persons would pass through this area to the slum before they were shipped to other places.

This alley was probably the way they transported the girls out.

“How’s the investigation on the forbidden medicine coming along?” Qiao Yue asked.

“We managed to hack through their firewall but found out that the website had already been hacked. There’s nothing there now. It’s just an ordinary website.”

Someone had moved even faster than her?

“I remember that there is a very precious herb in the medicine that can only be extracted from ruby mines. You can investigate along this line.”

Xiao Jia replied promptly with an okay.

Xiao Jia then sent a document containing a list of names; names of people who had bought forbidden herbs. Qiao Yue saw a familiar name on the list.

Qiao Xin!

Why did she buy such medicine?

Qiao Yue scrolled right on the document and found the Qiao Xin’s purchase date and time, which was around the time when she first hunted down Trand.

A bad idea suddenly emerged in Qiao Yue’s mind. Was Qiao Xin trying to seduce Trand using this medicine?

That was completely deranged.

“One more thing. Trand’s brother, Andy, is coming to C-Country soon. I don’t know if he’s going to interfere in Trand’s affairs.”

Qiao Yue frowned. The people in Trand’s family had always kept their whereabouts under wraps. But his brother was so open about his whereabouts this time. Something must be wrong.

“On the organization side…. Did the Godfather give any orders?”

Xiao Jia didn’t reply for a while.

“Not at the moment,” Xiao Jia finally replied.

Now the problem had become very tricky. Andy was definitely interfering in Trand’s affairs.

Andy was not a criminal. On the contrary, he was a member of parliament of D-Country and had even become an ambassador of the country this year.

Trand’s arrogance probably had something to do with this brother who could protect him.

On the surface, Andy didn’t participate in Trand’s business, but he had provided financial assistance multiple times and had even proposed legal provisions that would benefit Trand’s business.

Andy’s trip to C-Country this time was most likely for political reasons. But no one knew if he had other any other purpose for coming here.
