When the man who was chasing Baili Xiyao and had one eye lost appeared in Baili Xiyao's office that day, He Mozhao was holding an online meeting of YM Group.
Baili Xiyao took his people to the conference room and left the office to He Mozhao.
Inside the conference room.
"Any results?" Baili Xiyao sat down in the first seat, holding a document in her hand. It was given to her by Xiao Rui early in the morning. It contained the progress of Xiao Yi and his team's investigation into the manhunt, as well as information on the people who came to hunt them down that day.
His sight fell on Wei Quan, who had one eye covered by white gauze and was obviously restrained. After reading the document in his hand, Baili Xiyao did not think that the man in front of him could bring him any useful information.
"M Country Capet Family"
Hearing this, Baili Xiyao did not speak. His fingertips ran over the "Cape Family", "Garcia Family", and "Cavendish Family" on the document, and he lowered his eyes. It seems that this freelance killer has some ability.
"I can leave your people alone, but I need to use your connections to uncover the relationship between the Capet family and the Imperial Capital. The reward is 100 million. How about that?"
"With your abilities, Mr. Yao, you shouldn't need me, right?" You can even flash and bring people back to life, so why do you still need help from others?
"I want to focus on my relationship"
Baili Xiyao's words almost choked Wei Quan to death. He had never seen such a reason before.
"What's the matter?" Baili Xiyao began to get impatient when he saw that no one was talking.
Wei Quan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Baili Xiyao immediately stood up after getting the result, and said as he walked, "Xiao Rui will tell you the specific requirements."
As soon as she left, Xiao Rui appeared at the office door. It was obvious that he had known the current result and had been waiting outside the door.
After the two talked for a while, Wei Quan left.
When Baili Xiyao returned to the office, He Mozhao's online meeting was still going on. He was twirling a pen between his fingers with one hand and resting his other hand on his forehead. He looked uncomfortable or perhaps just irritated.
Baili Xiyao walked closer and sat next to He Mozhao. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he used his spiritual sense to check again. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"A Zhao, someone from the Capet family contacted me and it seems they're interested in collaborating."
Rong Shuyan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she mentioned the 'Capet Family'.
What a coincidence?
Baili Xiyao narrowed her eyes, thinking: Why is it so hard for me to have a relationship? Back in the divine realm, I wasted so much time because my baby had such an important job. Now I have come to the mortal world to nourish my soul, but my fate has gone so wrong, and there are always some disgusting cockroaches that provoke me!
"Who contacted you?" He Mozhao saw Baili Xiyao approaching and leaned over Baili Xiyao.
"..." Rong Shuyan on the other end of the phone was silent, and then asked tentatively, "Is Baili Xiyao with you?"
After hearing Rong Shuyan's words, He Mozhao already knew who contacted her, leaving Baili Xiyao confused.
"Let's put the cooperation on hold for now. Let me think about it."
"good"
The phone was hung up.
"Baby, do you know anyone from the Capet family?"
"I only know one, Erde, a guy with not very good eyesight." Thinking of this person with blonde hair who chased him around the base and called him "little fairy", He Mozhao got a headache. Wasn't it the first time they met, when he had just returned from a mission and hadn't changed out of his skirt and wig yet!
"Do you have an eye problem?"
"......" He Mozhao was speechless, "That's about right."
Baili Xiyao didn't believe this, but since his baby said so, he just believed it.
"The one who chased us on the road a few days ago was also related to the Capet family," Baili Xiyao took out the document at hand and handed it to He Mozhao, and briefly recounted the matter of Wei Quan.
He Mozhao quickly glanced through the documents, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't think the people who hired those killers are from the Capet family, at least not from the main family."
"How do you say that?"
"Cape is a descendant of the ancient royal family, and the clan leaders have always been those who are capable. The current Robert and his next successor, Erde, are both capable, but they are also notoriously arrogant. Although I only know Erde in their entire family, and we are semi-friends, based on my understanding of him, I believe he won't send someone to kill me. As for Robert... Robert may still be the current leader, the power of the clan has long been in Erde's hands. Plus, I don't know him at all, so the possibility of him being the one is unlikely."
"Are you sure this Erde won't kill you?"
"Well, aside from his poor eyesight, Erde is a fairly upright person. So when he was vying for the heir, I secretly helped him."
"It seems that people from these two families are stirring up trouble," Baili Xiyao pointed at the 'Garcia Family' and 'Cavendish Family' on the document and said softly, without any doubt about He Mozhao's judgment.
In her opinion, even if the judgment is wrong, she will cover it.
"It's very strange. I've never had any contact with these two families, and I'm just an idler now. Why would they send people to hunt me down?"
"Maybe they are jealous because our baby looks so stunning." Seeing He Mozhao frowning in confusion, Baili Xiyao didn't want him to think too much, so he made a joke to ease the mood.
“…”
"Okay, don't think about it. Xiao Yi is still investigating. One day, the truth will be revealed."
Baili Xiyao pinched He Mozhao's face, thinking of what happened last night, and whispered to him, "Baby, let's get engaged."
"Um?"
He Mozhao's brain froze for a moment. Xixi, is he proposing to me?
"In no mood?"
Baili Xiyao turned over and pressed He Mozhao down on the sofa, pinching He Mozhao's cheeks with each hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was dangerous.
"I want to, I want to"
He Mozhao came back to his senses and saw Baili Xiyao pressing on him. He reflexively wrapped his arms around Baili Xiyao's neck, while still answering Baili Xiyao.
Baili Xiyao was amused by his subconscious action. A low laugh was heard, and He Mozhao realized his action belatedly. His handsome face was shy, but he did not let go. He just glared at Baili Xiyao.
"Since my baby wants it too, then I'll ask him for an engagement night gift, okay?" Baili Xiyao had already formed the idea in his mind, but he couldn't rush it, so he could only persuade him patiently.
"What does Xixi want?"
Baili Xiyao pretended to think about it. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it later. Baby, promise me first."
He Mozhao felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Besides, Baili Xiyao was staring at him, so he could only agree, "Okay."
Baili Xiyao, who got the answer she wanted, stole a kiss on He Mozhao's thin lips, kissed and hugged him for a while before she reluctantly got up and returned to her desk to continue her career of making money to support her husband.
