  The murderous and ferocious look on Qiao Tian Chang erupted all at once and shrouded him. The pain that he had suffered these past few days, he had to conceal the truth from Ning Meng Yao and was afraid something would happen if she finds out. But, this nobody dared to point fingers in their private lives. How could he not be furious about it?

  The restraints that he had for the past few days broke and he walked towards Qiao Zheng Hong step by step.

  Qiao Zheng Hong trembled inside as he watched Qiao Tian Chang walked towards him coldly. He had been on a battlefield, but he had never seen such a murderous and ferocious aura around someone. He seemed to have never known his son.

  At this moment, Qiao Tian Chang was already in front of him, “When was it up to you to intervene in my matters? What rights do you have?”


  “I’m your father.”


  Qiao Tian Chang took a deep breath and looked at him, “The moment you used my military merits to obtain everything, I have repaid back what I should have. Qiao Zheng Hong, I won’t let this matter slide. Enjoy your upcoming days, because there won’t be much time left for the Qiao family.

  It made Lin Zi You tremble. His boss was so frightening.

  Qiao Zheng Hong froze, “Don’t you dare.”


  “You dared to raise an army in secret and smuggle salt, what is there for me to be afraid of? I think the Emperor will be happy if I place righteousness before my family.”


  The words ‘smuggle salt’ made Qiao Zheng Hong’s body tremble fiercely. He looked at Qiao Zheng Hong in disbelief. How did he know about that? Their operations were done stealthily, so how……how did he know?

  Qiao Tiao Chang saw the look on him, and knew what he was thinking, “I’ve never thought of dealing with the Qiao family. But what a pity. All of you don’t know how to cherish your blessings. Zi You, throw him out.”


  Lin Zi You looked at Qiao Zheng Hong, “Please leave, I would have to really throw you out otherwise.”


  Qiao Zheng Hong was pale from anger and left the place in a huff. He was actually very anxious. If the Emperor got to know about them smuggling salt, it was a heavy offense with beheadment as punishment.

  “Boss, why did you tell him?” Puzzled, Lin Zi You asked.

  Telling him about the matter now, wouldn’t that give them the time to prepare? Shouldn’t they be investigating it secretly, and hit him unprepared at the end?

  Frankly speaking, he gradually couldn’t understand his boss’s actions anymore.

  Qiao Tian Chang glanced at Lin Zi You, “It’ll be meaningless if we do it that way. We can only investigate, but we don’t have sufficient evidence. If we tell him, he will definitely become anxious.” Smuggling salt was a big crime. There was no way Qiao Zheng Hong would disregard it, so all he had to do was give him a scare to make him anxious.

  Lin Zi You was Qiao Tian Chang’s military advisor. Qiao Tian Chang was sure he would understand if he gave it a little thought.

  “I see.” Lin Zi You nodded, showing that he understood.

  “Watch Xiao Zi Xuan closely, and also the Qiao family. Send someone to investigate all the businesses Ling Residence and Xiao Residence are engaged in.” Qiao Tian Chang suddenly thought.

  Lin Zi You jumped, “Boss, what are you planning to do?”


  “You will know very soon what I’m going to do.” Not only did he want to crush them in the Royal Court, he also wanted to crush them in their business. He wanted to let them live a lifeless live while wishing they were dead. Only in this way could he relieve the hatred deep inside him.

  “I understand. Boss, then I’ll go and do my thing.”


  Qiao Tian Chang nodded and waited for Lin ZI You to leave. He walked to Qiao Mo and lowered himself to look at the fine artwork.

  “Qiao Mo, you were loyal to Qiao Zheng Hong for life, but in the end, he never once look at you in the eye. Tell me all you know and I’ll grant you a quick death?” Qiao Tian Chang told him coldly as he looked at him in the eye.

  Qiao Mo opened his eyes with difficulty to take a look at Qiao Tian Chang. Previously, he still held onto the thought of making out alive, but he now knew that at this moment, death was actually a luxury. There were many times when he thought he was going to die, but Qiao Tian Chang used precious medicine on him without hesitation to hold onto his life before going on with another round of torture.

  After seeing Qiao Zheng Hong today, he came to realize that his loyalty was nothing but a joke.

  “Wuwu……” A sobbing sound came from Qiao Mo’s mouth.

  “Lei An……”


  “Young Master, not good. Something happened to Missy.”
