282 Getting Back On Track
Andy’s matter was too complicated, so the media could only employ the safest method by giving a vague report.
The police and the special task force struggled with interrogations every day. It was also year-end, so it took them half a month to finish the interrogations, investigations, and trial for this vicious incident.
Andy was accused of human trafficking and drug trafficking, but he had already escaped, and no one could pay the price for him.
A few of the powerful people involved were also sentenced but they all pleaded for probation.
For the sake of the Qiao family reputation, Qiao Yi was also put on probation. Qiao Jing was afraid that the old master wouldn’t be able to take it if he was sent to jail, so he locked Qiao Yi up at home.
Qiao Ze was implicated but the police soon found out that Qiao Yi was the mastermind behind his involvement.
Although many media outlets had released statements about Qiao Ze’s illegal activities, Qiao Ze was ultimately found not guilty and was suspended from the entertainment industry for a year.
Due to the stab wound on his abdomen, Qiao Yu needed a month of recuperation.
Qiao Yue was ordered to rest at home.
Fortunately, the old master was persuaded to recuperate at a nearby hot spring villa, so he didn’t see the mess at home.
To better care for Qiao Yue, Qiao Jing moved to a room next to hers.
Qiao Yue wasn’t seriously injured and was only unconscious for a day. But since she had been poisoned, Qiao Jing forced her to stay at home to recuperate.
“Second brother, I don’t think it’s good for you to do this. I’m not injured, and I even made a bet with my friend that whoever doesn’t do well in the exams will leave school. You’re making me look like a deserter.”
Qiao Yue was sprawled across a table in Qiao Jing’s study.
Lu Ying had instructed her not to overexert herself during her recuperation.
Qiao Jing interpreted Lu Ying’s words as “not use any energy”. He wanted to see Qiao Yue recuperate in bed. He didn’t even allow her to play games.
If he gave Qiao Yue a computer or a cell phone, with Qiao Yue’s computer skills, she would start to study those hacking programs in a minute.
After much persuasion, Qiao Jing finally brought Qiao Yue a game console that could be connected to a TV screen.
Qiao Yue could only play some extremely simple games under Qiao Jing’s watch.
Simple things like bombing the kitchen with other players, controlling an avatar to save a princess in the castle, or collecting vegetables to decorate her home.
Qiao Yue felt her intelligence decline as she played these games. Mushroom might have already sprouted in her brain.
“Second brother, are you really going to let me keep playing these silly games? I have to go to school.” Qiao Yue complained.
“You don’t need to go to school this semester. Rest up like I told you before. If it weren’t because of this Qiao Yi incident, you would’ve recovered long ago.”
“Are we really going to bring second uncle home?” Qiao Yue asked.
She didn’t really want to see Qiao Yi because at the thought of him, she would remember losing the elites she had trained in this operation.
It was very difficult to train people for Yayi. And the Yayi crew this time was made up of all newbies.
Although Qiao Yue’s men didn’t suffer any injuries or lose their lives in this operation, many of them suffered mental trauma. Although it wasn’t unusual to lose people in this kind of operation, it was still too much of a shock for them.
Therefore, Qiao Yue simply gave the Yayi folks a long holiday in advance.
When the Godfather heard her report, he only gave a plain acknowledgment and agreed to let the Yayi folks take a break.
Qiao Yue also told the Godfather about Andy and Oswald, but the Godfather didn’t say much.
His attitude was very mysterious. So, Qiao Yue decided not to think about it before the new year.
Since Qiao Jing wanted her to relax, she would do so and not be bothered by these things.
When she pulled herself out of her thoughts, her little avatar on the TV screen died again.
Qiao Yue put down the game controller and stretched lazily.
“What’s wrong? If you’re done, I’ll carry you back to your room to rest.”
Qiao Yue had been depending on Qiao Jing since she was hurt, so she was used to being taken care of by him. She held out her hand and let Qiao Jing carry her back to her room.
Halfway through, Qiao Yue suddenly remembered something.
When she was fighting with Oswald, he seemed to have told Qiao Jing and Qiao Yu about her true gender…
