Chapter 181: Long Xiao
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
In an office building in the outskirts of City A which covered an area of thousands of Mu, at the security exit on the third floor, Little Five wrested a man’s cellphone out of his hand and upon taking a look at the call record, a bloodthirsty gleam flicked across his eyes. He threw the phone to Little Six and looked at the man, asking, “Luo Tian, why did you get in touch with Miss Qin?”
Luo Tian hadn’t expected that he could be seen hiding in the stairway, talking on the phone. He swallowed his saliva as he looked at the angry Little Five and in a trembling voice, replied, “Mr. Five, I… I didn’t mean it. I just… it’s just that Miss Qin asked us to tell her as soon as we found Miss Tang Xi. We haven’t found her yet, so I haven’t told her anything. She called me just now. I didn’t call her, and I really haven’t told her anything…”
“Yeah, you haven’t said anything yet because I took your phone, or else you would have told her everything you knew, right?” Little Five stared at Luo Tian with a gloomy face. He hadn’t expected that such an unfaithful traitor would appear in Long Xiao Group.
Luo Tian shook his head vigorously and denied it. “No, no, no… Mr. Five, I just planned to tell Miss Qin that I didn’t know anything! I really don’t know…”
Little Five narrowed his eyes. Of course he didn’t know! Because they really hadn’t found Miss Tang Xi! So he didn’t know and hadn’t told Qin Xinying anything, but what if they had found Miss Tang Xi? And… Little Five reached out a hand and grasped Luo Tian’s neck. He narrowed his eyes darkly and asked coldly, “Tell me, were you the one who revealed the young master’s whereabouts to Qin Xinying?”
Luo Tian shook his head, turning pale. “No, it wasn’t me.”
Seeing that Luo Tian was unwilling to confess, Little Five let go of him and sneered, “It seems that you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin. Would you like to try Long Xiao’s punishment?”
As soon as Luo Tian heard Long Xiao’s punishment, he collapsed and knelt down. “Mr. Five, please spare my life!”
Little Five smiled coldly. “Will you confess or not?”
Luo Tian lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I only told Miss Qin which island in the Pacific Ocean we were on, and…”
“And then?” Little Five asked with narrowed eyes. “And then Young Master went back to Long Beach and then to the capital, followed all the way by that woman, and you’re telling me you didn’t know anything?”
“I really didn’t give Miss Qin that information, Mr. Five, I swear!” Luo Tian cried out, hugging onto Little Five’s legs and continuing, “I’ve been in Long Xiao for five or six years. How would I betray Young Master? That Miss Qin asked me for help because she was worried about Miss Tang. Besides, it won’t have any influence on Young Master if I tell Miss Qin his whereabouts.”
“B*lls.h.i.+t! It won’t have any influence?” Little Five grabbed Luo Tian by the collar, pulled him off the ground and asked grimly, “What if Young Master’s whereabouts are revealed to ‘them’ by Qin Xinying, or what if they learn about the existence of Qin Xinying, catch her, torture her and find out from her that Miss Tang is the weakness of Young Master? What’s more, you knew what state Young Master was in those days. If they find Young Master by tracking Qin Xinying and kill Young Master, what are you going to do? Why are you so stupid?”
Scolded harshly by Little Five, Luo Tian was speechless. He could only hang his head down and admit his mistake. Just then, Little Six suddenly said, “Oh no. Qin Xinying and Luo Tian’s phones were tapped. It should be the Las Vegas gangs.”
Little Five punched Luo Tian in the face. “d.a.m.n it! Didn’t I f*cking warn you not to call anyone via your work phone?!” With that, he looked anxiously at Little Six and asked seriously, “Have they traced this location?”
Little Six frowned and, connecting his cellphone to his PDA, soon entered his own system to check. After seeing the system display, he shook his head with relief and replied, “It’s okay. You cut off their communication and turned off the phone in time, so they haven’t located us.”
Although it was only a false alarm, sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three of them. Little Five’s heart was still beating wildly. If he had been one step slower, would the Las Vegas gangsters have found out about this place?
As soon as he thought of it, he dragged Luo Tian up from the ground and shouted coldly, “You don’t need to work on the third floor any longer. Go to the Underground Floor One Prison and reflect on what you did wrong!”
“Mr. Five, Mr. Five, give me one more chance! I swear I will never contact Miss Qin again. I won’t make this mistake again!” As soon as Luo Tian heard Underground Floor One Prison, he fell into a panic. That was literally the bottom of h.e.l.l! Many criminals who were thrown into it died within ten days, and the people sent there were either Long Xiao’s enemies or most-wanted criminals who committed outrageous crimes or couldn’t be handled by governments. Although those people seemed to have disappeared from the world, he knew that they were actually locked up there!
Long Xiao was a non-official organization established by three men. Average people might not hear of this organization, but all the big shots in the world had heard of Long Xiao Group, the number one group in the world. They not only produced ammunition, but also sold the very ammunition they produced in bulk all over the world. Long Xiao Group was a group both feared and respected by all countries.
Long Xiao Group’s cold and hot weapons combined were enough to destroy the entire earth… and almost all countries’ weapons were supplied by Long Xiao, so they almost monopolized the global arms deals…
Everyone thought that the leaders of Long Xiao Group were the two executives who were resident in Long Xiao Group, Wilson and Jayce, two men with Oriental faces and foreign names… However, only the members of Long Xiao knew that the top decision-makers of Long Xiao Group were actually three men: Qiao Liang, who had the most say, then Wilson and Jayce…
Wilson and Jayce would come to Qiao Liang and ask him to make the final decision when it came to important matters.
It was for that reason that Qiao Liang was able to bring back the teetering Qiao’s International Group in a short period of time. In fact, it wasn’t because that he was a genius, a business miracle who managed to save Qiao’s International Group alone, but that he had long been prepared and the Long Xiao Group behind him had also injected a steady stream of capital into Qiao’s International Group.
Few people knew of Qiao Liang’s real ident.i.ty, and those who did would either try to kill the man or be hunted by him.
This was why no matter how bold he was, he wouldn’t dare betray Qiao Liang…
Luo Tian looked up at Little Five and almost burst into tears as he pleaded, “Mr. Five, please, I don’t want to go to the Underground Floor One Prison.”
