Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1534: Xiao Keyi Becomes Vigilant

Sponsored

After leaving the park, Xiao Keyi deliberately headed for a crowded place.

He was still worried about why the bodyguards had suddenly disappeared. And after such a long time, there was still no news at all.

Just as Xiao Keyi was burning with anxiety, he suddenly saw that the bodyguards had already followed up from behind.

"Where on earth did you go? What exactly happened?" Xiao Keyi asked in a hurry.

The bodyguards had orders to protect Xiao Keyi in secret, but given the current situation they had no choice but to tell him what was going on.

"Miss, it’s Young Master who sent us to protect you. We followed you all the way from home to the park, but there was a very suspicious group of people who started tailing you the moment you left the house. We already had a face-off with them in the park just now, but we were careless for a second and they all got away. We suspect their target is you, so please be more careful."

Hearing the bodyguard’s words, Xiao Keyi’s brows knitted together.

Whatever you fear most always comes. He had only just arrived in the capital, and already there were people trying to harm him.

Although he didn’t know which faction these people belonged to, Xiao Keyi suspected they were very likely the same bunch from the Xu Group board of directors.

"Have you figured out what’s going on? What kind of background do they have?"

Right now this was all Xiao Keyi cared about. Only with concrete leads on the other party could he take effective measures.

The bodyguards had wanted to go check out who exactly Murong Hai and his people were, but Murong Hai and his men were simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, the bodyguards lost them.

By the time they tried to track down any clues, it was already too late.

"We’re really sorry, Miss. It’s our incompetence that we lost them. But that group is unusually crafty, and they move incredibly fast."

Even the bodyguards didn’t have a clear grasp of their details, and now Xiao Keyi was in a bind.

Their family had no influence at all in the capital, so for everything he had to rely on the Xu Family.

And on Xu Ke’s side, he was still busy dealing with taking over the Xu Group. At a time like this, they absolutely couldn’t drag him into analyzing this mess.

At the same time, Xiao Keyi suspected this group was most likely sent by the board.

If it was really as Xu Ke had said before, then without a doubt these people were here to grab him.

But the fact that they could tail him from the front door all the way to the park showed they definitely didn’t just want to snatch him, plain and simple.

What Xiao Keyi originally wanted was to find out who these people were, then follow the trail upwards and see if he could drag out the boss behind them!

But now, it seemed that route wouldn’t work.

It looked like trying to catch these people by the tail was something he couldn’t do alone.

Even though he was Xu Ke’s girlfriend now, they still weren’t married, and he couldn’t freely use the Xu Family’s internal power.

If he wanted to dig deeper, he had to have someone to help him.

Xu Ke was absolutely not to be disturbed right now, so Xiao Keyi immediately thought of Wang Cuixia.

Wang Cuixia and Xiao Keyi had an excellent relationship; besides, she was also Xu Ke’s mother, his future mother-in-law.

Every time Xiao Keyi was with Wang Cuixia he felt very self-conscious, but Wang Cuixia treated him incredibly well every time, just like her own daughter.

Over time, Xiao Keyi gradually accepted Wang Cuixia. At the same time, he treated her very well too; the two of them looked just like real family.

Since he couldn’t handle it alone anyway, Xiao Keyi decided to ask Wang Cuixia for help.

Originally, Xiao Keyi wanted to go home and find Wang Cuixia, but then he thought about it and realized she hadn’t been at home when he went out.

So he took out his phone and called Wang Cuixia.

The call connected quickly, and from the sounds on Wang Cuixia’s side, it seemed she was playing mahjong with someone.

"Keyi, what are you calling Auntie for? Is something wrong?"

Although Xiao Keyi trusted Wang Cuixia very much, he could hear from the noise around her that the people there were a mixed crowd, probably a lot of strangers.

To be on the safe side, he still asked Wang Cuixia to find a quiet place with no one around.

"Auntie, there’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s really important. Please go somewhere where there’s no one else first."

Wang Cuixia had just drawn a great hand, but after hearing what Xiao Keyi said, she immediately tossed the tiles aside.

"Let’s stop here for today. I’m not playing anymore. I’ll come back when I’ve got time." With that, Wang Cuixia turned and left the table.

Once she’d walked somewhere with no one around, Wang Cuixia picked up her phone again and said, "Alright, girl. There’s no one around me now. You can tell me what’s going on."

After confirming there was no one around Wang Cuixia, Xiao Keyi told her everything that had just happened, down to the last detail.

When Wang Cuixia finished listening, her brows immediately drew together.

Clearly she also realized this was no coincidence.

At such a critical time, someone actually wanted to kidnap Xiao Keyi.

There was no need to think too hard to know this had to be connected to those people on the board.

Although Wang Cuixia wasn’t part of the Group, she had been going there frequently for so many years.

She’d heard a thing or two about the members of the board and had dealt with quite a few of them personally.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Wang Cuixia was just a woman at home; her abilities were stronger than many of the senior executives at the company.

Old Master Xu had seen this in her, which was why he would often, intentionally or not, pull Wang Cuixia into company affairs.

"Keyi, this is no trivial matter. You mustn’t mention it to anyone else. Go home and wait for me first. Once I’m back, we’ll talk it over face to face."

Realizing this issue absolutely couldn’t be dragged out, Wang Cuixia headed straight home without another word.

Feeling that it wasn’t safe outside right now, and even though that group had already been driven off by the bodyguards, Xiao Keyi couldn’t rule out that others might have ideas about him.

After a quick word with the bodyguards, Xiao Keyi returned to the Xu Family home.

As soon as he entered, he didn’t see Xu Ke. It looked like he’d gone off to work overtime again somewhere.

Old Master Xu, as usual, wasn’t home either; apparently he’d gone out with friends to relax.

But Xu Ke’s father, Xu Hua, happened to be at home. Seeing Xiao Keyi come back, he immediately greeted him warmly.

As for Xu Hua, Xiao Keyi held this elder in quite high regard.

Although in the eyes of outsiders he did seem a bit unimpressive, he was still Xu Ke’s father after all.

"Uncle, I’m waiting for Auntie. She’ll be back soon."

Hearing that Xiao Keyi had arranged to meet Wang Cuixia, Xu Hua tactfully went back to his own bedroom.

He had long since realized they were going to talk serious business, and in such a situation he felt it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stay there.
