Chapter 254: Flustered Little Six
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
As Xiao Yao led his men away, and most of Qiao Liang’s men also left silently, Little Five took Lu Guangxiong away.
Qiao Liang held Tang Xi tightly into his arms and kept saying “Sorry” to her. Thinking of what Qiao Liang said to Lu Guangxiong, Tang Xi patted Qiao Liang on the back and hugged him, whispering, “It’s alright. Look, I’m fine. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Qiao Liang kissed her on the head and said apologetically, “I’m to blame. I knew he had been cornered, but I didn’t expect he would investigate your relationship with me and kidnap you.”
Tang Xi gave a warm smile. She put her ear against Qiao Liang’s chest and listened to his strong heart beats, saying gently, “Fool, I wasn’t afraid at all. If I was, I would have asked Yao for help when he called me.”
Xiao Yao came up quickly, grabbed her hand and dragged her out of Qiao Liang’s arms. He squinted at Tang Xi and said coldly, “So you had been kidnapped by Lu Guangxiong when I called you?”
Qiao Liang also looked at Tang Xi, and Xiao Jing came over too. Tang Xi hurriedly raised her hands and explained, “It was dangerous at that time. There were only him and me there. I’m just a little girl. What if he wanted to kill me if I asked Yao for help?! I couldn’t resist him and could only surrender to him.”
The three men looked at Tang Xi’s petite figure and remembered that she was just discharged from hospital. She was vulnerable indeed and must be scared after being kidnapped, so they couldn’t bear to blame her. Qiao Liang held her in his arms again. “This will never happen again.”

Xiao Yao sneered. “President Qiao is always honey-lipped, but Rourou was injured over and over again.”
Qiao Liang sneered, stared at Xiao Yao and gave a cold smile. “Since Lieutenant Colonel Xiao is so able, why did you let Xixi save you risking her life? She almost died that time!”
“You!”
“That’s enough!” Tang Xi left Qiao Liang’s arms and stared sternly at the two. “Don’t be so childish. You’re fighting like two little boys. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
“Nope!” The two said at the same time, still glaring at each other.
Tang Xi took a deep breath, walked to Xiao Jing, took his arm and walked outside, saying loudly, “Jing, can you send me home? I don’t want to go home with two fools!”
Xiao Jing gladly nodded and hurriedly led her into the car.
Qiao Liang and Xiao Yao watched the two of them leave and then turned their gaze to each other. Qiao Liang put a hand into his pocket, looked at Xiao Jing and smiled. “As the captain of Special Operations Division of Special Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Xiao would take part in such a small kidnapping case. This really made my jaw drop.”
Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, took a step forward and looked sharply at Qiao Liang. “Qiao Liang, what’s your real identity?”
“Didn’t Lieutenant Colonel Xiao investigate me?” Qiao Liang smiled and walked to the side as he said, “Did He Hong only teach you how to fight and shoot? Don’t you collect intelligence? In any case, you stand for the state. Why don’t you work harder?”
Xiao Yao lunged forward and stood in Qiao Liang’s way, asking darkly, “Have you investigated me?”
“Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, you think too much.” Qiao Liang stopped and looked at Xiao Yao calmly. “We’re friends, and we’ll be relatives because of Xixi, so I won’t investigate you.”

“Then why do you know my identity?!” Xiao Yao said harshly, “This is a secret! Very few people know this!”
“But there are still some people knowing it. Remember, once a person discovers your secret, you should be prepared that the whole world will know it.” Qiao Liang smiled. “Besides, you went to your grandpa’s home that day because you were promoted and your uncle found out about your identity, right? It’s no longer a secret from that night.”
Xiao Yao suddenly stopped. Yes! Qiao Liang was present that day! Damn it, Xiao Jing, you b*stard! He forgot Qiao Liang was there that day and was misled by that b*stard!
Qiao Liang opened the car door and got into the car. Xiao Yao caught up with him and sat beside him. Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Xiao Yao said, “As my brother-in-law, you’re supposed to give me a lift.”
Qiao Liang took a breath and kept silent when he heard “Brother-in-law”.
Xiao Yao’s car was driven away by Xiao Jing and Tang Xi, and the military cars also drove away. He surely wouldn’t run back home just because he didn’t like Qiao Liang…
Qiao Liang sat in the car, looking ahead with a straight face he spoke an order, “Send Mr. Xiao home first and then go to the Splendid World.”
Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes. “I’m going to the Splendid World too. You don’t have to send me home.” He then looked at Qiao Liang. “My grandpa is going to live in my uncle’s home for some time. I’ve promised to spend more time with him. Besides, Rourou must be scared tonight. As her brother, I should comfort her.”
Qiao Liang’s aura turned freezing. Xiao Yao smiled and continued, “Of course, President Qiao, as you’re Rourou’s boyfriend, you can take care of her. Let’s go there together!”
Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and gnashed his teeth. “Please take care of Xixi, Brother!”
Xiao Yao said, “She is my sister. I’m supposed to take care of her. You don’t have to be so polite!”
On the way, the two had been tit for tat to each other. Little Six who was driving the car wished he was deaf. He didn’t hear anything! But…
After Xiao Yao got off the car, Qiao Liang turned to Little Six and asked with a straight face, “What did you hear?”
Little Six almost burst into tears. “Young Master, I wish I didn’t hear anything!”
Why did he overhear that Miss Xiao was Miss Tang?! Why did you say that in front of me?!
Qiao Liang nodded. “So what did you hear?”
“Miss Tang Xi accidentally became Miss Xiao Rou. Miss Xiao Rou is actually Miss Tang Xi… That’s why you acted so strangely after seeing Miss Xiao…”
Qiao Liang hummed, “Yes.”
“Ah?” Little Six suddenly felt flustered. Why did he tell this Young Master? Oh, he was so scared! “Young Master, what do you mean?”
