The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 616 - 580

Everyone in the banquet hall looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Each of them couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

Nor could they believe what they had just said themselves.

It was as if a thousand slaps landed on their faces, burning with pain.

The president of Yunzhong Building.

So young.

A young girl?

What’s going on between Yunzhong Building and Gu Group?

A marital spat?

What are they doing?

"I just seemed to hear someone say that our Mr. Gu is inflexible, doesn’t know how to cooperate, only knows competition, and even called us malicious competitors." Qiao Yuxian looked at those speaking at the banquet table, "Then let me ask, does our kind of marital relationship count as cooperation? Is the competition between us a malicious one?"

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Chu Zhengran rolled his eyes at Gu Yanjing in his heart once again.

His wife spoke up for him, and he was happy.

Lu Muyao’s phone vibrated twice again, and he took it out to look.

All messages from across the continents.

The investigations had been conducted secretly for so long across the continents; how to act, how to take down their strongholds had all been planned.

Just waiting to take action today.

No one at the banquet table spoke, all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Shuning stared at Qiao Yuxian, clenching her hands, her eyes red.

Why is it always her, why is it always her every time!

Why is her life so great, everything belongs to her!

Quan Rong sat beside her, not caring about her emotions, lowering his head to hide the sinister emotion in his eyes, sending a message to a contact marked with an asterisk: [Yunzhong Building belongs to Qiao Yuxian, you didn’t tell me this.]

After sending the message, he looked up, his expression returning to normal.

Qiao Yuxian’s gaze swept over them and continued, "These projects, whether done by my spouse or me, are the same. You all care more about our affairs than the executives at Gu Group care. What importance do you hold? Instead of worrying about us, perhaps you should worry about your own companies. What if one day they are just gone?"

The threat was all too clear.

Everyone’s hearts sank.

The fear of losing their companies loomed larger than being insulted as weeds.

Both Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing’s phones vibrated once more.

Then Chu Zhengran called them, "Yanjing."

Qiao Yuxian stopped speaking, pulling out her phone to tap on it.

Wen Mingcheng looked around, then sat down next to Chu Zhengran.

As soon as he sat down, the screen on the stage changed.

Previously displaying the wordings related to the family recognition banquet, it suddenly switched, catching everyone’s eyes as they looked to the screen.

Looking at the content on it, Gu Yanjing said, "President Gu, this is the process of drug trafficking at the boxing arena under Imperial Power Club in Jin City on D Continent."

The camera focused on the screen.

Qiao Yuxian tapped her phone again.

The screen displayed a dynamic demonstration chart.

It clearly illustrated the trading process at the boxing arena and how they evaded detection and severed connections during transactions.

"The owner of this boxing arena is Qu Hai; Gu Yao, you know that, right?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?" Gu Yao looked at him.

"Or perhaps I should call you Yan Zhiyao." Gu Yanjing said.

"The issues at Imperial Power Club have already been handled by the police; people have been arrested." Gu Linhai said, "Yanjing, what do you mean now? Why insist that Yan Zhiyao is Gu Yao? You can choose not to acknowledge him, but don’t frame him."

"Right. Gu Shuluo is locked up at the police station under the name Yan Zhiyao. You have your scapegoat, so Imperial Power Club has nothing to do with you. Even if it’s found that Imperial Power Club is involved in human trafficking through interviews, that wouldn’t concern you either." Gu Yanjing said.

Gu Linhai and Gu Yao said nothing, looking at Gu Yanjing.

He hit the mark.

They were counting on them having no way out.

Even if Imperial Power Club exterminates humanity, it will have no connection to them.

"The matter of Yan Zhiyao has nothing to do with you. Let’s talk about Gu Yao then." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian tapped her phone again.

The screen content changed to show that decoded ledger.

Gu Linhai looked at the screen, his expression changed.

Gu Yanjing said, "Familiar with this? M Continent, D Continent, A Continent... Human trafficking, organ trafficking, fraud, organized prostitution in these places..."

"Mr. Gu, you don’t want to say these things are related to me, do you?" Gu Yao looked at him.

Gu Yanjing glanced at him, ignoring him.

Qiao Yuxian changed the screen content again.

A series of photos playing automatically.

These showed the strongholds secretly investigated in various continents over these days.

Conducted in secrecy, but many photos were taken.

Qiao Yuxian had meticulously organized them, leaving almost nothing out.

With patience, viewing them closely, one can discover every location was investigated.

Besides the ledger, there were Qiu Xia’s confessions, some clues pointed directly to Gu Yao from these places.

Gu Linhai and Gu Yao watched, their faces growing grimmer inch by inch.

They had been busily hosting the recognition banquet here, unaware their own house had been burgled.

No more need to say, they already understood.

"President Gu, you don’t look well." Qiao Yuxian said with a tone of concern, "Should I call 120 for you?"

Just as she finished speaking, before Gu Linhai could react, Gu Yao’s phone suddenly rang.

Gu Linhai quickly looked at his phone.

Gu Yao’s heart trembled, hurriedly taking out his phone to check, seeing a call from M Continent. He quickly answered.

Qiao Yuxian watched him listening to the call content with an indifferent look, while his expression worsened.

After a few words from the caller, Gu Yao hung up directly.

Just after hanging up, the phone rang again.

This time it was A Continent.

Gu Yao hung up, then the phone rang again, this time from M Continent.

He hung up once more, then the phone rang from D Continent.

He looked at it, and answered.

The content of the call was what he anticipated, similar to the first one he received.

A trafficking line was dismantled, several strongholds were taken down. It was done by the local police, along with people from Nine Emperor Hall and Twelfth Floor.

Gu Yao said nothing, hanging up the phone directly.

Gu Linhai looked at him nervously.

Gu Yao glanced at him, shook his head to signal no.

"Police!" The doors to the banquet hall were pushed open.

Everyone looked toward the entrance, before they could even make out the appearance of the police.

Qiao Yuxian suddenly shouted, "Get down!"

As she called out those three words, Gu Yanjing was already shielding her head, dodging behind a wall.

With their evasive action, countless gunshots rang out.

The sound of bullets hitting the ground, the walls, glass cups, porcelain vases crashed chaotically, mingled with innumerable screams.

"Get down, don’t run!" Gu Yanjing shouted.

Bullets rained continuously, leaving the banquet hall in disarray.

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing hid behind the wall, with limited visibility assessing the situation.

The cameraman who had been following Qiao Yuxian all along, ducked behind a banquet chair.

He tossed the camera aside, pulled two guns from the bag at his waist, first handing them to Lu Muyao and Chu Zhengran, then took out two more, tossing them to Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian when he had the chance.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian caught them steadily and immediately counterattacked.
