After five years of marriage, I treated my wife with utmost care, only to discover her abortion slip in the closet.
She actively brought me to a friend's gathering, which turned out to be...
"Don't worry, your wife and children will receive the best care after it's done, and the compensation will be substantial."
Xie Huanyu was about to knock on the door when she heard these words. She paused, and her expression became serious.
This group of bodyguards had always been doing shady things for my father, and whenever the topic of compensation came up, the person was generally destined not to return...
So who is Father planning to target? She unconsciously pursed her lips.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Xie Huanyu snapped back to reality. The next second, the door to the study was opened from the inside.
The bodyguard Zero greeted Xie Huanyu respectfully, "Greetings, Miss!"
Xie Huanyu nodded, feigning composure, but upon seeing that it was Zero One, she felt even more that things were not so simple.
You should know that among this group of secret guards, this is the person my father values and cherishes the most, and he has been staying with the Xie family for more than ten years.
He's usually not assigned to high-risk missions, so who is he going to deal with this time?
Suppressing her thoughts, Xie Huanyu stepped into the study. She had returned to report on company matters.
"Hmm, not bad, you handled it very well," Xie Junyang nodded in satisfaction, then remembered something and solemnly instructed, "Don't have any contact with Xu Yanshu recently, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion."
Upon hearing her father mention Yan Shu's name, Xie Huanyu felt a sudden unease. Could it be...?
She unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides, and said with feigned disdain, "Why would I contact him?"
"He's just a poor kid with no power or influence. We were only willing to give him some face because we were afraid he would be a threat to our Xie family. We never expected him to be so shameless."
Since her father currently harbors deep hatred for Yan Shu, she cannot show any mercy to Xu Yan Shu.
"It'll be over soon. He'll only be arrogant for a few more days. Dead people pose no threat." Xie Junyang waved his hand dismissively, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
It wasn't just Zhou Zehao who couldn't wait any longer; seeing that Xu Yanshu seemed determined to use Huang Dongsheng to deal with him, he knew that this person couldn't be kept around any longer, otherwise Xie Junyang would be driven to a dead end.
Therefore, Father is going to take action against Yan Shu!
Her long fingernails dug into her palm as Xie Huanyu struggled to maintain her composure. Then, as if understanding, she nodded.
"That's good, otherwise keeping him around would be a problem."
Xie Junyang had been observing his daughter's reaction discreetly, and upon hearing this, he nodded in satisfaction.
He was afraid that she still had some feelings for Xu Yanshu, but now it seems that he had worried too much.
"So I'll leave things at the company to you for the next few days. Unless it's something urgent, don't come to the old house for now!"
Xie Huanyu readily agreed, "Okay, I understand."
She had to quickly find a way to remind Yan Shu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
...
“Yan Shu, recently a middle-aged man surnamed Zhou has been asking around about you, but don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to everyone in the neighborhood, so they shouldn’t be able to get any information out of you.”
A middle-aged man surnamed Zhou... Zhou Shengyu went to Baoning?!
Xu Yanshu frowned, a sudden surge of irritation rising within him.
She thought to herself, "Why has Zhou Zehao suddenly become a mere decoration? Doesn't he know how to stop me?"
Fortunately, he had informed his hometown people in advance; otherwise, who knows how much trouble he would have faced.
"Thank you, Aunt Huang. I've already contacted the doctor you asked me to find last time. You can just go directly to the hospital!"
After the call ended, Xu Yanshu loosened his tie, turned around and walked to the balcony, gazing at the scenery outside in deep thought.
If I really want to develop my career in Chengdu, I'll probably run into that couple sooner or later...
But he had already promised Shengyi, and he didn't want to change his original decision because of such an assessment.
Xu Yanshu suddenly raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. If it really didn't work out, then they could just meet face to face.
To be frank, the choice is always in his own hands; he doesn't believe he can be forced back into the Zhou family.
The phone vibrated, and Xu Yanshu easily unlocked the screen. A new text message popped up.
Beware of hidden dangers, proceed with caution!
His expression suddenly turned serious, and his thin lips pressed down into a straight line.
It seems someone else wants him dead.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yanshu called Jiang Zhengyu, a teasing thought creeping onto her lips as she spoke.
"Jungwoo, my life is in grave danger, I desperately need you to transform into Superman and come to my rescue!"
"Xu Yanshu, can't you speak human language...?"
Halfway through the conversation, the person on the other end changed, their tone clearly urgent, "Brother Yan Shu, what's wrong? Where are you right now?"
Victory?
Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback, then quickly explained, "Shengyi, don't be nervous. I was just joking with Zhengyu. We'll talk about the details when we meet."
The three of them eventually agreed to meet at their usual coffee shop.
After meeting, Jiang Zhengyu gave Xu Yanshu a light kick and said indignantly, "Xu Yanshu, watch your mouth in the future. Someone was almost scared to tears by you just now."
It's not that exaggerated.
Qin Shengyi raised her eyes and glared coldly at the person who spoke, thinking to herself, "Are all lawyers this good at talking nonsense?"
Xu Yanshu waved his hand brightly. He rarely wanted to joke with Zhengyu, but unexpectedly, Shengyi overheard it.
