Chapter 373 It’s Clearly a Threat to Her
Shen Hanxing really didn’t expect that this conversation would go so smoothly.
Han Lingcui's cooperation was beyond her expectations.
But this is also a good thing.
As long as this matter can be handled well, nothing else matters.
"good."
"But I hope you can keep your word."
Han Lingcui lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word!"
…
In the top-floor office of Chuxin Company, sunlight shines in through the entire floor-to-ceiling windows, weaving a golden net on the floor.
Shen Hanxing sat behind the large mahogany desk, his fingertips rapidly tapping the keyboard, and dense codes danced on the screen.
Shen Qianxun sat cross-legged on the carpet next to him, scribbling on the drawing paper with a crayon in his hand.
He was wearing blue overalls today, his hair softly plastered to his forehead. When he was excited about drawing, he would hold up the drawing paper and come to Shen Hanxing: "Mom, look at the big dinosaur I drew!"
Shen Hanxing stopped what he was doing, bent down and rubbed his hair, a gentle smile in his eyes: “The painting is really great, more majestic than the last time.”
"That's because I watched a dinosaur documentary yesterday!"
Chihiro raised her chin proudly, her little face full of pride, "Chengcheng thinks it looks good too. He just said he wanted to make a dinosaur model!"
Fu Yicheng shook the piece of paper in his hand.
"I've already figured out what to do. Xunxun, can you help me?"
"Of course!"
Shen Hanxing saw that the two brothers got along very well.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a black Bentley slowly approaching outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
The license plate was a special number starting with Beijing A, and it shone coldly in the sunlight. Her heart sank suddenly, and her fingertips subconsciously clenched the wet wipes.
Sure enough, within three minutes, the front desk called, and the tone was cautious and tentative.
“Mr. Shen, there’s a gentleman named Xuanyuan downstairs looking for you. He said he’s someone you know. He doesn’t have an appointment, but…”
"Let him come up." Shen Hanxing interrupted her, her voice calm, but her heart was already in turmoil.
Xuanyuan Ge coming to see her at this time would definitely not be just for casual chat.
She stood up and took Fu Yicheng out of the baby chair and stuffed him into Shen Qianxun’s arms: “Qianxun, take your brother to the lounge next door to play for a while, mom has guests.”
As soon as the door closed, the office door was pushed open.
Xuanyuan Ge was wearing a dark gray suit, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and the watch exposed on his cuffs was low-key and luxurious.
He was followed by two bodyguards in black, standing guard at the door with expressionless faces, which instantly made the atmosphere in the office solemn.
"Boss Shen, how are you?"
Xuanyuan Ge walked to the desk, his eyes swept over the children's picture books and crayons scattered on the table, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Chen Hanxing pulled a chair over and said, "Mr. Xuanyuan, I'm grateful for your presence. What can I do for you?"
She deliberately kept her distance and spoke in a distant tone.
Xuanyuan Ge did not sit down, but walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the busy street below.
"There's news about Fu Jingheng."
He suddenly spoke, his voice devoid of emotion.
Shen Hanxing's heart suddenly tightened, and his fingertips pinched into his palm.
"Where is he?" She tried to keep her voice steady.
"Wuyin Mountain." Xuanyuan Ge turned around and looked at her face with inquiry, "Have you heard of it?"
Shen Hanxing frowned.
Mount Kirigakure is located in the northwest of Kyoto. It is a mountain forest. It is said that there are countless caves and underground rivers hidden in it. People who enter it will most likely get lost.
"What was he doing in a place like that?"
"He didn't go there, he was hiding there." Xuanyuan Ge's fingertips tapped lightly on the window sill, "Besides, he wasn't alone."
Shen Hanxing's heart skipped a beat: "You mean..."
"He is working with Xuanyuan Ce."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice turned cold. When he mentioned the name, a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. "Wuyin Mountain is Xuanyuan Ce's territory."
Xuanyuan Ce?
Shen Hanxing suddenly remembered the name.
That is a branch of the Xuanyuan family. It is said that they had a mortal feud with the Xuanyuan Pavilion in their early years because of the struggle for inheritance rights.
Later he was expelled from Kyoto, but unexpectedly he settled in Kirigakure Mountain and developed his own power.
That man was ruthless and secretive, and his reputation in the underground world was even worse than Xuanyuan Pavilion's.
"Why does Fu Jingheng want to cooperate with him?"
Chen Hanxing was puzzled. Although the Fu family and the Xuanyuan family had little friendship, they would not join forces with Xuanyuan Pavilion's mortal enemy.
"Who knows?"
Xuanyuan Ge pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile, "Perhaps the mess within the Fu family has left him desperate, or perhaps he and Xuanyuan Ce have a common enemy."
He changed the subject, his eyes locked tightly on Shen Hanxing, “But no matter which one it is, their cooperation is not a good thing for us.”
Shen Hanxing understood what he meant.
The Fu family and the Xuanyuan family hold a vital position in the Beijing circle. Once Fu Jingheng and Xuanyuan Ce join forces, it is likely to break the existing balance and trigger a series of turmoil.
"So, what did you come to see me for?"
She looked at him warily.
If someone shows kindness to her for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Someone like Xuanyuan Ge would never tell her these things for no reason.
"I need you to go to Mist Hidden Mountain."
Xuanyuan Ge said straight to the point, "With your identity, Fu Jingheng will not be on guard against you. I want to know how far their cooperation has progressed and what bargaining chips they hold in their hands."
Shen Hanxing refused almost immediately.
"Impossible. Wuyin Mountain is so dangerous, there's no way I'm going there. Besides, Fu Jingheng and I have no relationship anymore."
"It doesn't matter?"
Xuanyuan Ge raised his eyebrows, "What about Fu Yicheng? He is Fu Jingheng's son, isn't he? If Fu Jingheng and Xuanyuan Ce's plan affects the Fu family, do you think Yicheng can stay out of it?"
He paused, his tone tinged with threat, "And your Chuxin company, do you really think you can stay out of the turmoil of the Beijing circle?"
Shen Hanxing’s face darkened.
Xuanyuan Pavilion was blatantly threatening her.
"Mr. Xuanyuan, are you treating me as a guide?"
"You could say that."
Xuanyuan Ge said without hesitation, "But this will also benefit you. If you can find out their details, you can not only protect Yicheng, but also help the Fu family avoid disaster. By then, the Fu family will owe you a favor, which will be no small amount."
Shen Hanxing was silent.
She knew that Xuanyuan Ge was telling the truth.
But feasibility must always be considered.
She couldn't take the risk alone.
Just as she was hesitating, the door of the lounge suddenly opened.
Shen Qianxun came out holding Fu Yicheng, with a look of grievance on her little face: “Mom, we didn’t make the model.”
As expected, Fu Yicheng pouted, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to cry.
"So cute." A deep voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Hanxing looked up and saw Xuanyuan Ge had walked over at some point, looking down at Qianxun.
His eyes were very gentle, completely devoid of the coldness and oppression from before, and even had a hint of... gentleness?
