Chapter 185 Sister-in-law, something's happened.
Mu Jiaojiao was taken aback.
Her tone was so calm, yet what she said shocked me deeply.
Yes, why can't I understand such a simple truth?
If Xie Nanzhi had been as insightful as she was back then, perhaps she would have had the courage to stay even if she had known that Wei Chizheng was suffering from a strange illness.
She wasn't brave enough and missed the most important person in her life.
Before leaving, Mu Jiaojiao gave Xie Nanzhi a deep look, her eyes full of meaning.
Perhaps there was envy, jealousy, and also a sense of recognition for her.
After seeing Mu Jiaojiao off, Xie Nanzhi began packing her luggage. She was currently pregnant and it wasn't appropriate for her to stay in the capital alone; all the grudges and grievances would have to wait until her child was safely born.
This is his child, and Xie Nanzhi will protect him with her life.
Her flight was in the afternoon, so she prepared lunch for herself. She wondered if it was because of her pregnancy, but she had been feeling particularly sleepy lately.
However, the child was well-behaved, and Xie Nanzhi didn't experience any of the agonizing pregnancy symptoms.
Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, Mu Lin suddenly called.
As soon as the phone was answered, Mu Lin's urgent voice came through, "Sister-in-law, something bad has happened, Tie Tou is in trouble."
...
With her plans disrupted, Xie Nanzhi didn't go to the airport, but instead took her people directly to the Wei family manor.
It's true that Wei Chizheng was the second young master of the Wei family, but he was more than just that.
At a young age, Wei Chizheng established his own secret organization with a powerful intelligence network and trained many assassins.
Among them, Mu Lin is the manager of the intelligence network, while Tie Tou is the manager of the assassin organization.
After Wei Chizheng's death, Mu Lin and Tie Tou naturally followed Xie Nanzhi.
Xie Nanzhi was dressed in a black trench coat, her high ponytail tied neatly. She had no makeup on, but her cold and stern aura was exactly the same as that of Wei Chizheng in the past.
Xie Nanzhi barged in with her entourage, startling the Wei family's servants, who had never witnessed such a scene before.
Xie Nanzhi sat down, with Mu Lin and his men standing behind her, their aura overwhelming.
In less than a minute, Wei Huaibo came downstairs.
Upon seeing the transformed Xie Nanzhi, Wei Huaibo was momentarily stunned before continuing to walk forward.
Throughout the entire process, Xie Nanzhi did not get up, which showed that she was not even willing to give the most basic respect.
Wei Huaibo's face darkened with anger. "Miss Nan, what do you mean by this?"
She raised her long eyebrows and looked coldly at Wei Huaibo. The air seemed to freeze for her. Without saying a word, the confidence and composure that emanated from her very being created a powerful magnetic field, causing the surrounding noise to unconsciously decrease by several decibels.
"Release my men."
After Pei Jingchuan finished his treatment abroad, Wei Huaibo sent someone to bring him back. On the way back, Tie Tou went to avenge Wei Chizheng, but Pei Jingchuan was only seriously injured and did not die.
Pei Jingchuan was rushed to the hospital, while Tie Tou was caught on the spot.
Given Wei Huaibo's personality, he would never let Tie Tou go.
Wei Huaibo sneered, "He hurt my grandson, and you want me to let him go? Who do you think you are? Even if A-Zheng were alive, he wouldn't dare to ask me to do that."
Xie Nanzhi scoffed, tilting her head, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Your grandson killed my husband, doesn't he deserve to die?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Huaibo's face turned extremely ugly.
This is the last thing he wants to face.
Suddenly, Wei Huaibo looked sharply at Xie Nanzhi, "A-Zheng's death has nothing to do with A-Jing. On the contrary, A-Jing's serious injury from falling off the cliff was all caused by A-Zheng. Speaking of which, you should be the culprit. You killed A-Zheng."
Xie Nanzhi curled her lips, clapped her hands and stood up, "Hehe, this is too wonderful, Wei Huaibo, how could you say such shameless things? No wonder A-Zheng hates your father, you really are trash."
Wei Huaibo looked furious and raised his hand to teach Xie Nanzhi a lesson.
Xie Nanzhi didn't even blink before Mu Lin grabbed Wei Huaibo's wrist and gave him a push, causing him to stagger and fall onto the sofa.
Wei Huaibo stared with bloodshot eyes, "How dare you?"
Xie Nanzhi snorted coldly, her face full of disdain. "I'm not here to discuss things with you today, but to inform you. Wei Huaibo, you should know that A-Zheng left all his assets to me, including some secrets that no one knows, such as the Yan Tower."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Huaibo's pupils dilated sharply, and for a moment, he couldn't breathe.
He stared straight at Xie Nanzhi, his face ashen. "What do you want to do?"
Xie Nanzhi smiled, walked up to Wei Huaibo, looked him up and down with the same gaze, which eventually turned into a serious and indifferent expression.
With her hands in her pockets, she said, word by word, "Release my people."
Having dominated the business world for decades, this was the first time Wei Huaibo had been threatened by a young girl. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree."
Having achieved her goal, Xie Nanzhi did not linger.
She led a large group of people away, but after walking a few meters, Xie Nanzhi suddenly stopped.
Xie Nanzhi turned around, standing still, and scoffed, "Pei Jingchuan can't have children, Mr. Wei, did you know that?"
Wei Huaibo's expression changed again.
Clearly, he didn't know.
Xie Nanzhi burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
He's been eagerly awaiting his heir, only to find he can't have children. He must be thrilled right now.
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi immediately turned and left.
Wei Huaibo acted quickly; before Xie Nanzhi even got home, Tie Tou had already returned safely.
When Tie Tou and Mu Lin went to Xie Nanzhi's place, they saw Mu Lin giving Tie Tou a long lecture, going on and on.
Xie Nanzhi didn't say anything. She held the hot milk and watched quietly until Mu Lin said he was tired. Xie Nanzhi handed him a bottle of water, saying, "You've been talking for so long, your throat must be dry."
Mu Lin took the water and drank it in large gulps.
As for Tie Tou, he kept his head down, but from his expression, Xie Nanzhi knew that he was unconvinced.
Tie Tou frowned and cursed, "I was so close to avenging Second Master, so close."
Enraged, Mu Lin glared and cursed, "You dare to say that? If it weren't for your sister-in-law's intervention today, do you think we could have rescued you without getting hurt in the slightest?"
Tie Tou said in a low voice, "I never thought I'd come out alive."
Mu Lin: "You're talking nonsense! Do you think I'd just stand by and watch you die?"
They are not brothers, but they are as close as brothers.
Mu Lin was indeed worried, and now he's genuinely angry.
Xie Nanzhi put down her milk glass, glanced at Mu Lin, and said, "Alright, let's put this behind us. Let's not mention it again. And you, Tie Tou, I know you want to avenge Wei Chi, but there's no rush, understand?"
Tie Tou took a deep breath and remained silent.
Xie Nanzhi's tone also turned serious, "Do you think Wei Chizheng wants to see you take risks?"
Tie Tou jumped up, his emotions spiraling out of control. "So we're not going to get revenge? We're just going to let that scumbag get away with it?"
Mu Lin suddenly stood up and punched Tie Tou in the face.
