Xu Ye muttered something, but Xu Moran was too sleepy to ask any further questions and simply fell asleep.
Xu Moran slept very well that night; before that, her sleep had never been very good.
Growing up in an orphanage from a young age, one is destined to lack a sense of security from birth, always sleeping and waking up, rarely falling into deep sleep.
Of course, she had no idea that the reason she slept so well tonight was because someone had added something to her milk.
That stuff not only doesn't harm your health, but it can also regulate your sleep.
Hearing her breathing even, the man, who had been staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, sat up from the sofa bed, took a deep look at the sleeping Xu Moran, got out of bed, put on his shoes, walked to the bedside to tuck her in, and then turned and left the room.
Xiao Mei was sleeping right by the door and had heard the noise long ago, but because the sound came from Xiao Anhe, she didn't make any noise.
When Xiao Anhe opened the door, Xiao Mei affectionately moved closer to his leg and nuzzled his hand with her dog head.
"Protect Ranran well." Xiao Anhe whispered these words to it before walking towards the door. He opened the door very quietly and quickly, and this detail alone showed that he was quite skilled.
After watching Xiao Anhe leave, Xiao Mei became extremely vigilant and squatted at the door to protect Xu Moran. This was not only because it was a task given to her by Xiao Anhe, but also because Xu Moran had been genuinely kind to her, and this was a small way for her to repay her kindness.
As soon as Xiao Anhe went downstairs, someone appeared in front of him. He was dressed in black and would have been easily spotted in the darkness if the streetlights in the neighborhood hadn't been on.
The man in black stood respectfully in front of Xiao Anhe. "Brother, Qian Yue'e and her son have contacted both the legitimate and criminal forces to find you."
"Both the legitimate and criminal worlds?" Xiao Anhe stood in the night wind, his tightly pursed lips curving slightly. "Is Qian Yue'e really that afraid of me taking her son's inheritance?"
The man in black was ashamed and thought to himself, "Brother, what are you saying? You are the eldest son of the Xiao family, and the family property rightfully belongs to you. How can you use the word 'rob'? You should say you're taking back what belongs to you from Qian Yue'e and her son."
Besides, on Xiao Anhe's way back to China for his funeral, Qian Yue'e had already bribed an assassin to kill him. In addition, he escaped unscathed during the assassination attempt at the funeral ceremony. How could she not be nervous?
He might have thought it, but he dared not say it.
A night breeze blew by, and he seemed to remember something. He told Xiao Anhe, "Brother, we've already paid for the appliances that were delivered this afternoon. Why are we making them..."
After a slight hesitation, he tactfully addressed Xu Moran as his sister-in-law, "Why should your sister-in-law pay again?"
He had been hiding in the shadows, overseeing Xiao Anhe's safety. He had witnessed all of Xu Moran's emotions while paying the money, and he didn't believe that Xiao Anhe was making fun of Xu Moran.
Driven by curiosity, I mustered up my courage and asked.
Xiao Anhe was in a good mood tonight and answered the man in black's questions without hesitation, "Because in the future, of course she will be angry. I can use the excuse of repaying the debt to stick to her. As long as the debt is not paid off, I, the debtor, can go to the creditor every minute of every day."
The man in black was completely bewildered after hearing this, not by the night wind, but by the sheer shock of Xiao Anhe's words.
Could it really be true that the popular saying goes, "The one who owes money is the master, and the one who owes money is the grandson"? The master can give the grandson a hard time any moment. However, when it comes to Xiao Anhe and Xu Moran, the only difference is that the roles are reversed. The grandson doesn't ask the master for the debt, but the master is always clinging to the grandson's leg, begging for repayment.
Believe it or not, Xiao Anhe really could foresee the future. Later, after the truth of many things was revealed, Xu Moran learned Xiao Anhe's true identity and planned to sever all ties with him. Xiao Anhe used the excuse that he still owed Xu Moran a lot of money to go and besiege Xu Moran every few days.
That happened later. Now, Xu Moran still naively believes that she is really an orphan and is still dutifully performing her duties as a junior police officer.
The man in black, concerned about Xiao Anhe's injuries, asked him, "Brother, are your injuries serious?"
He could see that cut clearly; it was definitely not a small wound that only scratched the skin.
Xiao Anhe didn't even raise an eyebrow, and said dismissively, "It's nothing serious."
"Any news about Fang Wei lately?" Xiao Anhe looked up at the distant sky. It had been many, many years since he had looked at the city's night sky like this. A few sparse stars hung in the night sky, adding a touch of sadness to the eyes of the person looking at them.
From the moment his mother passed away, Xiao Anhe was destined not to be a person with rich emotions anymore. Who was it that stirred up emotions in his heart other than cold indifference?
The man in black truthfully told Xiao Anhe the information he had recently gathered: "Fang Wei's recent extravagant spending has amassed billions of US dollars in debt to Wuwei in Southeast Asia, but he doesn't seem worried. He spends his days eating, drinking, and having fun. Three days ago, he took a fancy to a newly debuted male actor. To curry favor with him, his agency tied him up and sent him to his bed overnight. Speaking of which, that actor is really tough. Despite being a newcomer and needing promotion the most, he refused to submit to Fang Wei. When Fang Wei wasn't looking, he not only stabbed him with a fruit knife but also jumped off a building..."
"Is the person dead or not?" Xiao Nanhe interrupted his subordinate with a frown. Clearly, he didn't like his subordinates talking so much.
The man in black was taken aback, but quickly realized that Xiao Anhe was asking whether the person was dead, and who was dead.
One is the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, and the other is just an actor. It's obvious whose life is more valuable. If anything were to happen to Fang Wei, the news would have spread like wildfire. Xiao Anhe knew this, so he asked the young actor who had just started out.
"He didn't die, but he broke his leg."
"Very good." Xiao Anhe nodded, satisfied. "Continue to arrange for people to protect him. In critical moments, he..."
