Tang Ke Ke looked at Li Qing Feng with surprise, a chill creeping into her heart. The man was terrifying when he smiled. "Young Master, what do you mean by that?"
Li Qing Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at the worried Tang Ke Ke with a wicked grin.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on what you're doing. Even if the entire Li family becomes mine, Li Qing Shuo's assets abroad will be enough for you to live extravagantly for a lifetime."
Perhaps it was a reflection of his inner thoughts, but Tang Ke Ke found Li Qing Feng particularly frightening at that moment.
She seemed to have provoked a man even more terrifying than Li Qing Shuo.
"Don't worry, I'll do a good job." Tang Ke Ke lowered her eyelashes, wanting to see what Li Qing Feng was truly planning.
She felt it wouldn't be that simple. If the three big figures of Jinshi were to be destroyed, then the people behind Li Qing Feng, there must be others she didn't know about.
"For Mu Jiu Chen, someone will create opportunities for you and contact you. As soon as Yun Xia steps out, you'll have your chance."
Tang Ke Ke nodded.
"Okay!" Tang Ke Ke gave Li Qing Feng a deep look. Her guess was not wrong; others were colluding behind him.
Tang Ke Ke left the club with a troubled heart.
A few minutes later, two people in black, a man and a woman, walked out of the private room.
After the man sat down, he said, "This woman is not bad. She'll be a sharp knife, won't she?"
The woman asked, "What about He Ming Run?"
Li Qing Feng smiled at her and said casually, "I'll arrange it. Don't worry, let's proceed according to the plan."
The other two nodded.
...
Li Qing Shuo returned to Mu Jiu Chen's home. Yun Xia was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Jiang Nuan. Her face was bright with a smile, but the smiles she shared with him were shy, and her occasional lip movements were faint.
Li Qing Shuo carried many fruits and pastries and asked Yun Xia, "Xia Xia, do you want some fruit?"
Yun Xia, relieved to see him return safely, shook her head slightly. "Nuan Nuan and I just finished lunch, we don't want anything."
Li Qing Shuo looked at Jiang Nuan and smiled gratefully, "Nuan Nuan, thank you!"
Jiang Nuan looked at him with little expression. "Xia Xia is my best friend, it's my duty to take care of her."
"Heh heh..." Li Qing Shuo placed the fruits on the coffee table and asked, "Where is Xiao Jiu?"
Jiang Nuan replied, "He's gone to pick up the Chairman and his wife. We'll be going to the Mu family's old residence shortly."
"Okay, okay, then I'll take Xia Xia to the backyard."
Jiang Nuan gave him a deep look. He wouldn't have gone out for an hour just to buy fruit. "Mm! I'll take you there."
She had something to say to Li Qing Shuo.
"Nuan Nuan, I don't feel very good about this." Yun Xia was somewhat reluctant to live there.
Jiang Nuan knew her personality; she would never trouble others when it wasn't necessary.
Only when she truly needed help would she accept assistance.
"Xia Xia, you must stay here. I have nothing to do during this time and can protect you. Just stay for two months. After the baby is born, I'll accompany you back to our place, okay?" The people who came today were well-trained. If she hadn't been skilled in martial arts, Li Qing Shuo alone wouldn't have been able to protect Xia Xia completely.
Those people wouldn't give up and would come back again.
With Jiang Nuan there, Yun Xia was less resistant. Thinking about the morning's events, she still felt lingering fear.
But why did she feel that being with Li Qing Shuo was even more dangerous?
The villa in the backyard was also frequently cleaned and was very tidy, ready for immediate occupancy.
Startled in the morning, Yun Xia was taken by Jiang Nuan to rest. Not long after, the sound of Yun Xia's even breathing could be heard. Da Feng Novel Network.
Jiang Nuan then slowly pulled the thin quilt over her, tiptoed out softly.
Li Qing Shuo was on the phone in the first-floor hall. Seeing Jiang Nuan come down, he quickly said a few words and hung up.
Jiang Nuan walked up to him and said, "The people who came this morning were trained killers. These people only do things for money. Li Qing Shuo, you are the heir to the Li family, and your son is also the heir to the Li family. Who would least want Xia Xia to give birth to your child?"
"I checked Tang Ke Ke's background. Her family conditions are decent, enough to do this. But with their family background, they couldn't reach the blood hunters. The smoke bomb this morning is a common trick used by blood hunters. They usually complete tasks in groups of four to six people. Only people at your level can negotiate with blood hunters and get them to respond. Ordinary people don't even know of their existence."
After hearing this, Li Qing Shuo narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It's Li Qing Feng. Only he doesn't want me to inherit everything from the Li family."
However, he disdained the Li family's assets, but he wouldn't give them to an illegitimate son.
Jiang Nuan heard this for the first time, but wealthy families always had many issues, and the news reported it frequently. "You investigate. I have nothing to do during this period. I will take turns with someone to take care of Xia Xia until the baby is born safely. If the danger persists until the baby is born, you'll have to be prepared, as the birth of the child will also be dangerous."
"I understand, Nuan Nuan. I will take good care of Xia Xia." Li Qing Shuo felt that something was not quite right about the coincidence he encountered today.
"Mm! I'll be gone for two hours. I'll come back after visiting the old man."
As Jiang Nuan was about to leave, Li Qing Shuo looked at her arm and asked, "Nuan Nuan, is your hand alright?"
Jiang Nuan lowered her gaze to her arm and shook her head slightly. "It's fine. I'm a doctor myself, it will heal quickly. I'll come back later to change your dressing."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan left.
Returning upstairs, she grabbed her backpack and sent a message to Nan Zhou.
[Nan Zhou, we're meeting tomorrow. I have some things to do today.]
Nan Zhou replied: [It's okay, Nuan Nuan. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. We'll go for your favorite pineapple rice and satay chicken.]
Jiang Nuan smiled sweetly and replied: [Okay! It's been a long time since I've had it.]
Nan Zhou said: [After returning to the country, you've become even busier. You say you want to rest, but you never actually rest.]
Mu Jiu Chen walked in and saw Jiang Nuan smiling sweetly, making his heart feel as if it were dipped in honey, but she wasn't looking at him, but at the person on the phone.
Mu Jiu Chen was a little jealous. He guessed it was Nan Zhou.
He walked up to Jiang Nuan and saw her still typing a message, so he leaned over to look. Indeed, it was Nan Zhou.
Mu Jiu Chen's face turned very unpleasant. Her relationship with Nan Zhou was unforgettable.
Jiang Nuan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. A familiar presence reached her. She looked up and met Mu Jiu Chen's dark, brooding gaze, filled with overwhelming jealousy.
He just stared at her intensely without speaking. Jiang Nuan could clearly feel that he was angry.
Looking at her messages with Nan Zhou, a sourness enveloped her. Jiang Nuan slowly put her phone back into her backpack.
Jiang Nuan blinked her eyes and asked gently, "Brother, shall we go?"
