Chapter 253: Lived in Anguish
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi looked at Lu Xiaojing and blinked. This was really something Qiao Liang would do. The suspicion in her heart finally dissipated. Qiao Liang would never use her as bait to get rid of Lu Guangxiong. He really cared about her, so he would never risk her life to do that.
Lu Xiaojing tried to run to Lu Xiaojing and an agent lifted her up like carrying a chicken and pointed at her temple with a gun. He stood there expressionlessly as if he would shoot Lu Xiaojing on the head as soon as Qiao Liang issued the order.
Xiao Yao looked at Qiao Liang with a straight face, narrowed his eyes and snorted. “I didn’t expect the famous President Qiao will play dirty too.”
Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi as if not hearing Xiao Yao’s ridicule and then he said coldly, “I don’t mind doing anything as long as Xixi is safe. I’m not as noble as Lieutenant Colonel Xiao.”
Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes and Qiao Liang continued with a straight face. “I hope a dispute will not arise between us on how to save Xixi. If Lieutenant Colonel Xiao wants to argue with me, I’ll be available anytime after Xixi is saved.”
“Qiao Liang! Let Little Jing go!” Lu Guangxiong glared at Qiao Liang. “She is innocent. Let go of her!”
Qiao Liang lowered his head and sneered. Suddenly he looked at Lu Guangxiong and his eyes were grim. “Innocent? Let go of her?” He pointed at Tang Xi and his voice was chilly. “Then isn’t Xiao Rou innocent? Aren’t you threatening me with her life? Lu Xiaojing is your daughter and you kidnapped my girlfriend. A dutiful daughter is obliged to pay his father’s debts. How can you say she is innocent?”

Lu Guangxiong put the dagger against Tang Xi’s neck harder and her neck began to bleed. Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and his aura turned violent. He immediately took out his gun and shot Lu Xiaojing on the arm. Lu Xiaojing screamed and knelt down. Lu Guangxiong roared at Qiao Liang. “Let go of Little Jing!”
Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes when he saw the blood on Tang Xi’s neck. He raised his hand to signal that agent to lift up Lu Xiaojing again, and then he stared coldly at Lu Guangxiong. “I’ve told you will pay a heavy price if she is injured.”
“Qiao Liang! How can you be so cruel!” Lu Guangxiong suddenly released Tang Xi and collapsed to the ground. Qiao Liang rushed forward, held Tang Xi in his arms and retreated. At this time, a medical team came over to dress Tang Xi’s wound. Qiao Liang looked at Little Five who nodded and asked people to send Lu Xiaojing to hospital.
Qiao Liang ignored Lu Guangxiong and was busy making sure Tang Xi was alright. Tang Xi patted his hand with a smile and said gently, “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Just some cuts and bruises.”
Qiao Liang was relieved to hear this. He rushed up, grabbed Lu Guangxiong by the collar and punched him. “I’m the one you hate! Why did you hurt a vulnerable woman?! Shame on you!”
Tang Xi was startled to see Qiao Liang punch Lu Guangxiong, and hurriedly came up to stop him. “Qiao Liang, calm down! Calm down! He kidnapped me and you can give him to the police. Don’t hit him to get your hands dirty!”
Qiao Liang took a deep breath and looked darkly at Lu Guangxiong who sat desperately on the ground as he said coldly, “Lu Guangxiong, I shouldn’t have let you off when you and that b*tch had my mom hit by a car five years ago! In order to possess the whole Qiao’s, you almost killed my mom five years ago. Now you kidnapped my girlfriend to blackmail me for two billion Yuan! Do you know that what you’ve done will only push you to hell quicker?!”

Have you ever taken me as your son?!
Lu Guangxiong looked up at Qiao Liang and recalled how he ran behind him and called him Dad, but now Qiao Liang took him as his mortal enemy and couldn’t wait to send him to hell. Lu Guangxiong gave a self-deprecating smile and muttered, “What has been done can’t be undone. But I don’t regret it, because it’s useless to regret it.”
Qiao Liang snorted. “Do you think I’ll forgive you as long as you regret it? Do you think you can atone for your crime as long as you regret it? You must be dreaming!”
Xiao Jing walked to Qiao Liang and patted his shoulder. He then looked at Xiao Jing who glared at him. Xiao Jing put his palms together and looked imploringly at his brother. Tang Xi also looked back at Xiao Yao and pursed her lips. Xiao Yao sighed, turned around and walked to his men. “Mission Accomplished! Let’s leave here!”
Xiao Jing picked up Xiao Yao’s loudspeaker, caught up with him and happened to hear a man asking Xiao Yao “Are we going to leave like this?”
Xiao Jing came over and said to that man. “Bro, this is the best ending. Do you expect to see any gory scene?”
That special forces soldier looked at Xiao Jing and said with a straight face, “But a citizen was wounded by gun right in front of us just now! This is illegal! We have to arrest these people and investigate them!”
These people didn’t look like good people, especially that man called Qiao Liang. How could he shoot at a girl of fifteen without batting his eyelids! He was like a terrorist!
Xiao Jing cast a helpless glance at his brother and said, “Yao, do you really want to see your men and your brother fighting here?You’ve seen what we’ve got. We won’t necessarily lose. And… I haven’t told Qiao Liang about your identity. Rourou probably hadn’t told him either. Guess how Qiao Liang found out about your identity.”
He just told Qiao Liang his eldest brother wanted to kill Lu Guangxiong and had issued an order to his men, but he didn’t tell him his brother was a lieutenant colonel!
Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Liang. The latter was staring coldly at Lu Guangxiong who was sitting on the ground and said grimly, “Let go of Lu Hongkun? Why? He deserves to rot in jail! I’ve shown you the greatest mercy by not sending him to hell myself!”
Lu Guangxiong looked at Qiao Liang with disbelief, “It’s not you who gave those evidences to the police?”
Qiao Liang snorted. “If it were me, the evidence would be much more. You should be glad it wasn’t I who sent him to jail. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be sitting here, bargaining with me.”
Lu Guangxiong closed his eyes. Qiao Liang squinted at him and said coldly, “And you, you’ll spend the rest of your life in jail. Repent to God for what you’ve done to my mom and me. Don’t try to commit suicide. Even if you do, I will bring you back to life and make you live in anguish for the ever after.”
