Chapter 365: Being Ambushed

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

In Marseilles, Provence, Qiao Liang, Lu Li and a big white man were sitting face to face in a room. Lu Li and Qiao Liang, both wearing a skin mask, still looked handsome, although they were not as handsome as they actually were. Qiao Liang, with a straight face, sat there and played with his cell phone. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned and looked at the big man sitting opposite him, saying impatiently, “Ayres, aren’t we friends?” The screen of his cell phone kept flickering but he didn’t pick up the call. “You had promised us that you wouldn’t do what you shouldn’t do in Provence, but how do you explain your actions now? Are you provoking Long Xiao?”

“How would I dare?” Ayres laughed, took a bottle of wine and poured each of them a glass of wine, saying, “It’s just that some of my men disobeyed my orders! I’ve warned them. You know, I dare not provoke Long Xiao.” He lowered his eyes and a dark gleam flickered across his eyes. Then he raised his head and said all smiles, “Besides, we had signed a contract. I’m very grateful that you could spare my life. How dare I provoke you?”

Qiao Liang remained silent and looked coldly at Ayres. Lu Li sneered, saying, “You dare not? Then how do you explain these men hiding in the darkness? Are they here to protect you? Or do you fear we will do something to you in Marseilles?”

The smile on Ayres’s face froze, but soon he calmed down and said, “You know the military wants to kill me because of what my men have recently done, so I now bring a few bodyguards with me for security reasons. I hope you can understand me.”

“Save it.” After missing two calls from Tang Xi, Qiao Liang frowned impatiently and coldly said, “You have two choices. One is to ask your men to cease what they are doing. Let’s live in peace with each other; the other is that I’ll have my men blow up your nest and shoot you. Problem solved. Now tell me about your chosen choice. Come on, don’t waste my time.”

He missed Xixi’s calls because of this man! How he wanted to shoot him!

Ayres raised his eyebrows and his eyes had a gleam of anger. But soon he controlled his emotion, looked at Qiao Liang and raised his eyebrows. “You must be Mr. Qiao. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Then he took a glance at Lu Li and asked with a sly grin, “Which of you has the final say?”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise. Was this man trying to sow discord between he and Qiao Liang? That’s ridiculous! He took a look at Qiao Liang and frowned which was exactly what Ayres hoped to see. Just when Ayres thought they were about to quarrel, Lu Li said, “Since he is the boss, he has the final say. Now our boss is impatient. Ayres, make your choice.”

Ayres scowled and lunged to his feet, growling, “Don’t push me too hard! Since Long Xiao set foot in Provence, we could hardly make ends meet. If you continue to force us, we’d rather fight you to our deaths!”

“Fight us to your deaths?” Qiao Liang stared coldly at Ayres and smiled his smile contained a bone freezing chill, there was not a single iota of warmth. “Are you sure you want to become Long Xiao’s enemy? Do you think you can cause us any harm? Do you underestimate Long Xiao or have you actually overestimated yourself? Let me tell you, Long Xiao can let you die, we won’t have any losses. You have half an hour to make your choice. If you refuse, we don’t mind showing you what Long Xiao is capable of.”

With that, Qiao Liang stood up, smoothed his clothes and turned to walk outside. Lu Li looked at him, shook his head with a smile and followed him out. After they left, several mercenaries walked out from the darkness, asking, “Boss, why are you afraid of those pretty boys? If Long Xiao is really as powerful as they said, why did they bother to negotiate with us? It shows that they are not as powerful as they are trying to show. Why don’t we… find a sniper and…” The man made a slicing gesture with his hand across his neck.

They dared to say this, because most of them were retired special forces soldiers and had carried out many dangerous missions. It was as easy as pie for them to kill the two pretty boys!

Ayres frowned and said coldly, “Shut up! Do you think they would come to Provence unguarded? That man is a smiling tiger. Didn’t you notice he kept looking at his watch? That’s because their reinforcements were coming. If we dare touch them, our gang will become history, understood?”

Qiao Liang hurriedly called Tang Xi back as soon as he walked out. Lu Li looked at him and shook his head with a smile, exclaiming, “It seems that you are head over heels in love with Tang Xi! I’ve never seen you so obsessed with a girl!… Watch out!” Suddenly he grabbed Qiao Liang’s hand, pulled him to the ground and dodged a few bullets.

Qiao Liang held his cellphone and threw a grateful glance at Lu Li. The two of them quickly hid behind a dustbin. Qiao Liang frowned as he said, “It’s not Ayres’ men.”

“It’s Interpol. We came here on behalf of Long Xiao Organization!” Lu Li said, peeped into the alley, and frowned, saying, “There are snipers in the alley. We can’t walk past it.”

Tang Xi on the other side of the line had heard their conversation. She covered her mouth with her hand in panic and dared not say anything. Qiao Liang took a look at his cell phone, and his eyes had a gleam of chagrin. Lu Li took a look at him, and the latter showed him his cell phone. Lu Li shrugged, but at this time his cell phone rang too. He shrugged helplessly again and also showed his cellphone to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang signaled him to pick up the call. Lu Li picked up the call. Before he said anything, Wen Ning’s voice rang on the phone, “Are you in Provence? Our chief has just ordered our men in Provence to kill you. Leave there as soon as possible if you’re in Provence!”

Lu Li rubbed between his brows and chuckled. “I want to leave here. But I’m afraid that I’ll now have to say hello to your colleagues.”

Wen Ning frowned and asked “Have they ambushed you?”
