Chapter 451 I Want to Tell Xunxun the Truth
The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Xunxun tied to a chair with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, but her eyes were wide open. When she saw him, her little body struggled a little.
A man in black clothes sat on a wooden box next to him, playing with a fruit knife in his hand and smiling strangely.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, you are finally here."
"Let the child go." Xuanyuan Ge put his hands in his pockets, his fingertips pressing the recording button on his mobile phone.
"Let him go?" The man stood up and the tip of the knife scratched Xunxun's cheek.
"When you took everything from me, why didn't you think of letting me go? Do you know how much I suffered abroad? It's all because of you!"
Xunxun was so scared that she was shaking all over, but she didn't cry. She just stared at Xuanyuan Pavilion with her eyes open, like a frightened little animal.
"What do you want?" Xuanyuan Ge took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the knife.
"I want you to be ruined." The man pulled out a USB drive. "Here's evidence of your embezzlement of public funds. If I hand it over to the procuratorate, the Xuanyuan family will be finished."
Xuanyuan Ge frowned.
Those so-called "evidence" were all forged, but he knew that once it got out, the impact on the company would be unimaginable.
"Let the child go and I will go with you," he said.
"Don't play tricks on me." The man pointed the knife at Xunxun's throat.
"Call your assistant right now and have him bring the Xuanyuan Group's share transfer agreement over, or I'll..."
Before he could finish his words, the side door of the warehouse was suddenly kicked open.
Han Lingcui rushed in holding a steel pipe, roaring, "Let go of my son!"
The man obviously didn't expect her to come. He was stunned for a moment, and Xuanyuan Ge had already pounced over, snatched the knife from her hand, and pinned him to the ground with his backhand.
Xunxun was so scared that she cried out "Wow", and her cry echoed in the empty warehouse.
Han Lingcui rushed over and untied the rope that tied Xunxun, hugged the child tightly in her arms, and tears fell on his hair.
Xunxun sobbed and said, "Auntie Han, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, Auntie is here."
Han Lingcui looked up at Xuanyuan Ge, who was tying the man's hands with a tie. The lines of his profile looked particularly cold and hard in the dim light.
When he rushed over just now, his arm was cut by the knife and blood was dripping down his sleeve.
The police car and ambulance arrived almost at the same time.
While the medical staff were bandaging Xuanyuan Ge's wound, Xunxun hid in Han Lingcui's arms, secretly looked at the blood-soaked gauze, and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
Xuanyuan Ge lowered his head and smiled at him: "It doesn't hurt, just like a mosquito bite."
On the way back, the car was silent.
Xunxun fell asleep on Han Lingcui's lap, her brows furrowed. Han Lingcui looked at the streetlights passing by outside the window and suddenly said, "Thank you."
Xuanyuan Ge tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "I should be the one to say thank you. I didn't think highly of him."
"It's none of your business." Han Lingcui's voice was very soft. "I was too naive. I thought I would be safe if I stayed away."
She looked down at Xunxun's sleeping face. "No matter who he is with, as long as he has your blood in him, he will never be able to escape this."
Xuanyuan Ge didn't say anything. As the car turned into the residential complex, he suddenly said, "I will take care of the Xuanyuan family's affairs and won't let her get close to Xunxun again."
This time, it was Xuanyuan Hao's people who were waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. He really wanted to accompany Xunxun, so he relaxed his vigilance against these things.
“It’s not a problem for one person.”
Han Lingcui unbuckled his seatbelt, hugged Xunxun, and said, "Things in the Xuanyuan family are never that simple."
Xuanyuan Ge sat in the car for a long time while she walked into the corridor holding the child.
The phone was on, and it was a message from the assistant saying that the man had been taken into custody by the police and that flaws had been found in the forged evidence.
He replied "I know", then opened the photo album, which contained photos of him and Xunxun taken in the past few weeks.
The smiling face stained with clay in the pottery studio, the back of the person holding the sugar painting in the park, and the pumpkin lantern made together at the parent-child activity.
The picture at the bottom was taken today at the warehouse door. Han Lingcui was holding Xunxun, and he was standing beside her. The shadows of the three of them were stretched out by the setting sun, like an incomplete home.
After hearing the news, Shen Hanxing and Qi Moxun also put down their work and rushed back quickly.
Four people sat in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
Xunxun was taking a nap in his room. He was exhausted from the shock yesterday.
"That person is Xuanyuan Hao's man, but... there might be someone else behind him."
Qi Moxun pushed his glasses up and said, "I checked his financial transactions and found that several payments came from anonymous overseas accounts."
"I know. They must be the ones who want to inherit the Xuanyuan family." Xuanyuan Ge's voice was very deep. "They have always been dissatisfied with my power and want to find an opportunity to pull me down."
"Isn't Xunxun very dangerous?" Shen Hanxing's face turned pale.
"I'll arrange for bodyguards," Xuanyuan Ge said. "I'll pick him up and drop him off at school every day."
Han Lingcui suddenly said, "We can't live in protection forever."
She looked at Xuanyuan Ge and asked, "Have you ever thought about telling Xunxun the truth?"
"He's still too young." Shen Hanxing objected, "Telling him now will only scare him."
"But he has a right to know where he stands."
Han Lingcui's eyes were firm. "Instead of letting him live a lie, it's better to let him understand sooner rather than later that there are some responsibilities that cannot be avoided."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. In fact, Lingling had always been like this. No matter what happened, she was always unwilling to compromise.
He nodded: "I think so too. We should find a chance to make it clear."
That afternoon, when Xuanyuan Ge left, Xunxun just woke up.
The child ran to the window and watched his car drive out of the community. In his little hand was a piece of broken glass that he brought back from the warehouse yesterday. Xuanyuan Ge had wrapped it in a handkerchief and gave it to him, saying, "This is a medal of bravery."
"Is today's danger because of him?" Xunxun suddenly asked Han Lingcui behind him.
Han Lingcui walked over, squatted in front of him, and gently wiped the tears from his face: "Yes."
Xunxun nodded and put the broken glass into the side pocket of the dinosaur backpack, placing it side by side with the Ultraman pendant.
Xuanyuan Pavilion's car drove a long way away, and the lighted window could still be seen in the rearview mirror.
He took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant: "Transfer some of my shares to Xunxun's name, and find the best trust company to manage it."
Then he added, "Order a children's Taekwondo uniform, with a dinosaur pattern."
The sun was shining brightly outside the car window, and the ginkgo trees on both sides of the road began to turn yellow, like a golden road.
Xuanyuan Ge held the steering wheel and suddenly felt much more at ease.
But when I got home, this sense of relief disappeared.
Jiang Shutong was standing in the courtyard, tending to the flowers and plants. She fiddled with the scissors and gave instructions to the people around her.
"Decorate the children's room as soon as possible."
