Qin Xinying almost stumbled to the ground. He struggled to get up and wanted to curse, but then he saw a man standing beside the French window of the waiting room with his hands clasped behind him. He looked lonely and cold like a wolf at night, dangerous yet seductive.

Qin Xinying forgot to get angry. He stood still as he looked at the man's back and called out softly, "Qiao Liang?"

Qiao Liang looked back at him, pointed to the sofa beside him and said in a low voice, "Miss Qin, please sit down."

Qin Xinying was flattered. This was the first time Qiao Liang had spoken so courteously to her.

When Qiao Liang and Tang Xi were together, he had once hung out with them, but Qiao Liang had never looked at him because all his attention was on Tang Xi. Even when she bought ice cream, she would only buy one for Tang Xi while ignoring her. He was a cruel and cold man, but he still stole his heart.

Sometimes he even imagined secretly that he himself was the person he loved.

This time, at last, the two of them sat together.

Qin Xinying sat on the sofa with a faint smile on her face and looked at Qiao Liang with gentle eyes. He asked, "Qiao Liang, what do you want me to do?"

Qiao Liang frowned, and after a while he said, “Nona Qin, I am very surprised to meet you on a small island near the Pacific Ocean. I'd like to ask, what were you doing there at that time?"

Qin Xinying's heart sank. He had thought Qiao Liang would forget about this matter because he was too worried about Tang Xi. But he was Qiao Liang—how could he forget?

“Xi used to say that she wanted to visit nearby islands there, but I was unable to contact her, so I intended to go to see if she was there. Then I heard that he had a plane crash. I am very worried that I go there.” Qin Xinying blinked as she said this and a drop of tears fell from her eyes. He hurriedly deleted it and continued, “Then I met your people and heard their conversation, that's how I found out that you are also looking for Little Xi. I know you're worried about him. I'm worried about her too, so I want to join you in looking for her.”

"Then did you find anything?" Qiao Liang leaned back and folded his hands on his folded legs, staring at Qin Xinying with a domineering aura. “Again, after I left that place, why did you go to City A? My people say you followed me to Long Beach again.”

Qin Xinying nodded in response and her eyes were red as she replied, "Yes, I went looking for you, and that's because you have news about Little Xi. Yes, you are strong, but since you know about what happened to Little Xi, why didn't you tell us? How can you keep the news of his death from us?! I'm going to look for you because I want you to give me her body so I can send it to Grandpa Tang.”

Qiao Liang smiled coldly. “Oh, you really are Tang Xi's best friend. Unfortunately, the person I was looking for was not Tang Xi, and Tang Xi was not dead. Didn't you get an email from him? He's alive and kicking. How can you say he's dead? Do you think Tang Xi, such a hard-hearted person, will still be your friend?”

Qin Xinying was stunned and then shouted, "That's impossible!" How could Tang Xi still be alive?! The email must have been sent by someone else with his email box who wanted to scam them!

Qiao Liang asked with raised eyebrows, "What is impossible?"

Qin Xinying looked at Qiao Liang with her hands clenched hard. He suspects! He tried to trick her into telling the truth!

“Xi little will never break up with me and she is not a 'hardhearted' person like you said. You broke up with her, so how could a proud person like her forgive the man who left her? Don't you describe him like that! If you don't break up with him, he won't go traveling to relax at this time of year and then have an accident!" Qin Xinying pursed her lips. He's not lying. After Qiao Liang broke up with Tang Xi, he was very sad. A certain group of people had advised her to travel for relaxation, and she had followed their advice and done just that.

From then on, Tang Xi developed a habit of traveling at times like these. This year, Tang Xi went abroad on business, so she planned to visit somewhere near the Pacific Ocean but ended up buried there.

“Yes, I feel sorry for Little Xi. He wouldn't have had an accident if he hadn't gone out to travel!” Qin Xinying replied angrily.

Qiao Liang picked up the teacup on the table and sipped the tea. She asked, "Miss Qin, why are you so sure Tang Xi had an accident?"

Qin Xinying's heart jolted sharply and she was about to speak, but then Little Six suddenly ran in, saying, "Young Master, I have tracked the location of the IP address."

Qiao Liang lunged to his feet, nodded to show that he understood, and told Little Six to leave. Then he glanced at Qin Xinying coldly who was sitting on the sofa and said coldly, "I don't care what you think, or what you say. Keep the duru away from Tang Xi. Don't let me see you approaching him again!”

"How can you do this to me?!" Qin Xinying shouted, jumping to her feet. “I am a friend of Little Xi. It is not up to you, but it is up to me whether I can get close to him or not!”

“Then try,” reply Qiao Liang, go without turning around.

He was completely negligent this time around, and if Little Five did not remind him, he would not have noticed this woman and would not have wondered why she had appeared on the island.

Qiao Liang walked out and ordered, "Find out who leaked my existence!"

Little Six replied, "Yes."

Standing in the waiting room, Qin Xinying heard the sound of receding footsteps, after which she grabbed the coffee cup on the table and threw it hard on the ground.

'Why are you doing this to me? What good is that Tang Xi? How can you treat me like that for her ?!'

…

"Young Master, I have learned that the email was sent from the Xiao Family villa, and the IP address seems to have originated from there as well." Little Six thought it made sense that this email was from the Xiao Family, as the second son of the Xiao Family had previously ranked in the top ten in the international hacker competition, he said, although he had never attended such a competition again since then and kept a low profile ... Since Little Six had confirmed that the email was sent from the Xiao Family, it was definitely sent by their second son.

But that person couldn't possibly be so bored as to hack into Tang Xi's email box and send an email to Young Master ... This is a very difficult problem ...

Qiao Liang frowned and asked, "The Xiao family?"

Little Six nodded. “Ya, Xiao Jing's home. I believe that the person behind the email is Xiao Sa, whose hacking ability is really better than mine.”

The shadow of a certain figure suddenly appeared in Qiao Liang's mind and he froze. He said, “Prepare the plane. We are back in A!”
