Tony remained composed as he drove Brian to the airport.
There was not a sliver of doubt or scare on his face, apart from the arrogant look reflected in his eyes.
Brian glanced at the rear-view and sneered when he saw the two cars on their tail. Drawing his gaze back, he took out his phone and dialed a number. There was a short ring and a voice spoke on the other end,"At your service, Mr. Brian Long."
"Have Steven and Justin met yet?" Brian's tone was emotionless and calm, but his gaze gradually sharpened.
"Yes, they seem to have met," the man answered respectfully,"Also, around noon, Steven had asked Miss Xia if she would like to meet Rory Yan. But according to the record of their full conversation, she had refused the invite."
'A meeting with Rory?
What a jerk.'
Brian snorted. It looked like Steven hadn't taken his words to heart. He was laying his hands on things he shouldn't touch. Now, it was time for Brian to teach him a lesson in obedience. Brian's expression turned dangerous and cold. He parted his lips slightly and ordered,"Let him take her there if she agrees. But I need to hear every word of their conversation. I want to know what they are planning."
The voice on the other end paused for a while and then stuttered,"Mr. Brian Long, that cannot be easily arranged."
The Yan brothers were no ordinary people. As a senior official, Justin served as the Vice President in the Political Commissar. How could a conversation involving him be easily monitored? If they did that and got caught, it might be interpreted as a leak of state secrets.
Brian shot another glance at the rear-view to look at the cars behind them. He leaned into the seat casually and seethed,"That's an order."
His voice seemed calm, but the order was absolute. His tone was as cold as ice, and there was no place for any argument. The person at the other end shivered, his hairs standing up on end. He hurriedly answered,"Yes sir! Understood, sir!"
As the conversation ended, Brian's face changed. Fury boiled inside him, the touch of anger reddened his cheeks. He stared into the distance and thought to himself. Steven had forgotten his place. He had warned him, but Steven ignored it. Not only did he disobey his orders, but he also tried to get Molly involved. Was he trying to threaten Brian by using Molly as a shield?
