When Balu came over, Nanxi had already stood up and wanted to leave.
The man walked in with a cold face and a dark expression. Uncle Li called out, "Son-in-law."
Baru was stunned, a flash of discomfort crossed his cold face, and he muttered, "Hmm." Then he walked over and pulled his willful wife into his arms.
"You're becoming more and more disobedient, running around while I'm sleeping."
Nanxi just let him hold her, looked at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, you take a rest. I'm leaving first."
Baru nodded to Uncle Li, then left with his wife.
This old man is my father-in-law's confidant. He never said a word when he saw me before, but now he suddenly calls me son-in-law. I feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Baby, what did you say to this old man? Why is he suddenly willing to call me uncle? Before, his nostrils were on his forehead, just like my father-in-law."
Nanxi glared at him and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Uncle Li is Dad's confidant. I used to misunderstand him, but now I realize that people who seem distant and indifferent sometimes have warm hearts, and people who seem close to you are actually scheming."
Back in the study in the main building, Balu spent the whole morning watching his wife scribbling on some papers. He couldn't understand what she was saying, but he was afraid to disturb her if he asked. So he could only lie on the sofa and reply to emails while accompanying her.
At noon, Nanxi raised her head and looked at her husband.
"Husband, who is it that you want to meet? Have you made an appointment?"
The wife did not understand her husband's bandit behavior. She thought that when he said he wanted to see someone, he really just made an appointment to visit or go out for dinner. Little did she know that when she fell asleep in his arms, her husband's confidants had already gone out, kidnapped the person they had "made an appointment" and put him on a military plane to Yangon.
Baru raised his hand and scratched his short hair. "Yeah. We've already met. We'll talk again once they figure it out. Why are you asking this?"
The woman's black and white eyes looked at her husband. "Husband, Uncle Li said that Xue Peng and someone are plotting to harm you. Who do you think they might be? What is their purpose?"
"Xue Peng? The bodyguard?" Baru asked disdainfully.
"He's different now. You forgot that when he was on the island, the armed mercenaries he brought with him were strong enough to compete with Cha Mu's private soldiers. I've seen the strength of those people, and many of them are retired from the battlefield.
The fact that Xue Peng's men can compete with them proves they are definitely not just gangsters. Xue Peng was able to gather such a large mercenary army in such a short period of time. What kind of business does he have to do to achieve this?"
The man's unruly face turned serious and he looked at his wife. "He's in Thailand?"
The woman opposite nodded.
Baru reached out and stroked his chin stubble. "My dear, even if he was smuggling the drugs, he could only start as a henchman. In just a few years, he wouldn't be able to break free from the clutches of the Southeast Asian drug lords."
"But what if he already had an adoptive father who was a drug lord?" The woman narrowed her eyes and tried to persuade him.
The man instantly became excited. "He is Su Junchi's adopted son? Where did you get the news?"
"Uncle Li's son, Li Hang, was rescued from the Half-Faced Buddha's lair by accident. Later, the two went to Thailand, but Xue Peng was very cautious. Li Hang often met with him and was fooled by his illusion, thinking that he was just hanging out with the local gang.
But he's a gangster and wouldn't have the guts to plot against you, nor would he take the risk. It's even more impossible for him to come into contact with someone who wants to kill you and then collaborate with them. The only thing that connects all these things is the 'Half-Faced Buddha'."
Balu finally understood the circles his wife had drawn on the paper and pointed to the circle in the middle.
"So, after he went to Thailand, he gathered his strength and used certain tactics to gain control of the market and technology left behind by the Half-Faced Buddha, as well as the army. He openly joined the gang but secretly moved the goods.
The reason why he wanted to deal with me was because of the crackdowns by Southeast Asian countries, and Myanmar is now the only chaotic place in the entire Southeast Asia, which is convenient for him to hide in the chaos, use poison to support soldiers, and use soldiers to protect poison, just like Su Junchi back then.
However, the prerequisite for this is that he must have the military as a protective umbrella. Otherwise, once my people find out, they will definitely not let him go. This will put him in a conflict of interest with some people who want to kill me."
Balu continued speaking along with his wife's words, his eyes becoming increasingly murderous, and a sneer spreading across the corners of his mouth.
"Humph, I never realized it before. This taciturn guy is full of evil. He wants to kill me, right? He doesn't even have the qualifications to stand in line."
Nanxi looked at her husband seriously, "Alu, it's easy to dodge an attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. We have the upper hand now because of Li Hang, but Xue Peng has become so powerful in such a short time. Even with Su Junchi's foundation, if he doesn't have the real ability, he won't be able to handle it.
Besides, there must be a connection between him and Cha Mu. Don't alert them yet. Let someone investigate. Once you've found out, make your plans. Also, I've had Uncle Li tell Li Hang to hide for now. Cha Mu is hunting him. If Xue Peng gets wind of something, he'll be in danger.
Li Hang is a rare talent. My father's vision is correct. If possible, I want to keep him by your side."
Balu didn't expect that his soft and delicate wife could adjust in such a short time. Although he didn't know what her specific plan was, he was heartbroken to see that she was still thinking about recruiting talents for him at this time.
"Okay, baby, I'll do whatever you arrange. I'll also avenge Grandpa and my father-in-law. Just tell me what you want to do. Just use your mouth. I'll hold the knife, okay?"
Nanxi pursed her lips and said, "I know, husband, but in this world, killing people doesn't necessarily require a knife. Don't worry, no matter what I do, I will let you know in advance and ensure the safety of me and the baby.
I just found it difficult to accept it for a while, but my father said that a wolf's child, no matter how spoiled, will eventually learn to fight. People have killed my family. If I still cowardly retreat, how can I be worthy of my grandfather's love for me for so many years and my father's training?
When we played chess before, he always lost to me. I knew he was letting me off, so over the years, I never really played against him. This time, we were going to have a real fight.
He's a genius, I've always acknowledged that, but I, Nanxi, am no fool. He locked me up for three years, and although I hated him, I never considered killing him. I always cherished the affection we shared in our youth, hoping he would one day find his way back. It's a shame, like a Zhongshan wolf, that I understood my father's words too late.
Balu held his wife's hand, his handsome face full of seriousness, "I don't agree, baby, no matter if it's a conspiracy, an open conspiracy, or any other conspiracy, I just don't agree with you killing people.
I'm not dead yet, this is not your turn. You are my treasure, whom I cherish in my heart. I will not allow you to get involved in these dirty things. Be good and listen to me. Your husband is here, so you don't have to do anything.
Tomorrow we will go back to Yangon, and you can arrange flowers, go shopping, paint some pictures, be happy and beautiful while carrying our baby, and I will take care of the rest."
