Chapter 339: Your Business Is My Business
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Upon hearing Qiao Liang calling his name, Qin Benyuan almost wanted to die. Could he change his name? He wasn’t called Qin Benyuan now, okay? He looked up at Qiao Liang with expectation and sounded about to break into tears. “Maybe that person is just my namesake?”
Qiao Liang snorted and took a look at the man in black. The latter kicked Qin Benyuan’s ribs again. It hurt so much that Qin Benyuan screamed loudly in pain. He hurriedly shouted. “Please stop! I’m Qin Benyuan. I’m Qin Benyuan! But Sir, I don’t even know you. Why are you doing this to me?”
“You still can’t recall what you have done wrong?” Qiao Liang’s voice was gentle, but sounded so intimidating in Qin Benyuan’s ears. He couldn’t help trembling and tried to remember whether he had offended someone important. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall when he had offended this man who seemed to be a gangster…
Yes, only gangsters would carry guns with them…
But he had been in good terms with the underworld and always avoided falling on the foul side of the underworld people. When did he offend this man? Or had some of his friends offended this man? If so, they had brought an unexpected calamity on him!
Thinking of this, Qin Benyuan looked up at Qiao Liang. “Please tell me, Sir!”
Qiao Liang took a look at the man in black and the latter kicked his back, which made Qin Benyuan fall to the ground on all fours. Tang Xi wearing night vision goggles and standing behind Qiao Liang couldn’t help but frown when she saw this. To be honest, she had wished they threw Qin Benyuan straight down the stairs in the beginning, but when she was seeing Qin Benyuan being beaten up by them, she found she couldn’t stand it. Taking a look at Qin Benyuan who was lying on the floor, she tugged on Qiao Liang’s arm.

Qiao Liang looked back at Tang Xi who shook her head at him. Qiao Liang squinted at Qin Benyuan and coldly said, “I love Miss Tang.”
Hearing Tang Xi’s name, Qin Benyuan quivered and looked up, hurriedly saying, “Sir, you really have the wrong Impression of me if it’s because of Miss Tang. The friendship between my family and the Tang family spans generations, and my daughter and Miss Tang are also good friends. I take Miss Tang as my own daughter, and I’ve never done anything bad to her. I swear what I said is true!”
Qiao Liang snorted and coldly said, “You know best what’s on your mind. Let me make it clear, you’d better pray Miss Tang won’t experience any problems. If she has any problems, I’ll take it on you. I have been in love with her for so many years and cherish her as my most precious treasure! How dare you treat her like that? Do you want to die?” Qiao Liang ground his teeth together when he said the last sentence. He really sounded like a lawless, young gangster who feared nothing.
Tang Xi felt warmth in her heart when she heard Qiao Liang’s words. Although she was living with the identity of Xiao Rou and received a lot of love and care, she still felt moved when she heard his love for Tang Xi. She knew Qiao Liang was confessing his love to her. Thinking of this, she held his hand more tightly. Qiao Liang felt her move, turned to look at her and smiled at her. He then took her hand, and looked coldly at Qin Benyuan, warning, “Miss Tang hasn’t yet discovered what you’ve done to her, but I know! So I’ll keep an eye on you. If you dare do anything bad to Miss Tang or her family again, I’ll throw you into the sea to be a meal for the fish!”

“Sir, you really have the wrong impression. I have no ill intentions towards Miss Tang!”
“Then why did you have your men track Grandpa Tang?” As soon as Qiao Liang said this, the door of the office was pushed open. Before Qin Benyuan had the time to respond, two men were thrown to his side with a thud, and then the whining sounds rang. “President Qin, you gotta save us! Tell them it’s you who ordered us to track Grandpa Tang! You gotta save us!”
Qin Benyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Where did he find these two stupid detectives? Didn’t they call themselves the best detectives in the capital? Why were they caught so easily and even thrown down in front of him?
Qin Benyuan had no choice but laughed awkwardly. “It’s just a misunderstanding… misunderstanding…”
“Haha, misunderstanding?” Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and the man in black standing behind Qin Benyuan immediately came up, grabbed Qin Benyuan’s hand and dragged him up, saying coldly, “Think carefully before you speak!”
Qin Benyuan felt the bones in his hand were going to fracture, and immediately begged for mercy. “I dare not do this again! I swear I will never do it again! Please let me go! I will never ever mess with Miss Tang!”
Qiao Liang took a look at the man in black and the latter released Qin Benyuan’s hand. Qin Benyuan got on his knees, saying pitifully, “I just wanted to know where Grandpa Tang was, so that I could let my daughter appear in front of him at the right time to curry favor with him and then persuade him to make more investments in our company… but my plan has never succeeded. It’s true. You can check it out!”
Qiao Liang snorted with a frown and turned to take a look at Tang Xi. Seeing Tang Xi nod, Qiao Liang turned to stare at Qin Benyuan and said harshly, “Okay, I’ll let you go since you have begged me so hard. Tell your daughter not to show up in front of Tang Xi again! Otherwise, I won’t let her off! You don’t want to see your daughter thrown into the sea to feed the fish, right?”
Qin Benyuan was about to say he understood, when he suddenly heard the door of the office was slammed shut. The suppressive aura filling the whole office was also gone in an instant. Qin Benyuan collapsed onto the ground in cold sweat. It had been quite a while before the two detectives who had curled up on the ground crawled over to turn on the light. They were shocked to see how terrible Qin Benyuan looked, and then hurriedly went up to him and supported him up. Qin Benyuan glared at them and they looked away in embarrassment. Qin Benyuan froze for a while before he went up to his office table to get the phone and call the police.
Tang Xi and Qiao Liang had gone to the first floor. Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang as she said gently, “Thank you for what you’ve done for me.”
Qiao Liang smiled, and rubbed at her hair. “Your business is my business. You don’t have to thank me.”

The story will mostly stay the same but I'll fix all the plot holes I found and change some character motivations here or there.
