C34

After an entire night of rolling up the phoenix, Xia Xingyu had no other choice.

However, just as she was about to waver, she received a text message from Fu Guoqian. The content of the message indicated that there was some internal conflict in the Imperial Conglomerate. Xia Xingyu's mother was in danger.

Seeing this message, Xia Xingyu could no longer sit still. She quickly put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

But just as she was leaving, she bumped into Shen Peian, who had just returned from buying breakfast.

Seeing Xia Xingyu's flustered face, Shen Peian frowned slightly.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

After the two of them had been so intimate, Xia Xingyu also didn't have any intention of hiding it from him.

"Something has happened to my mom. I need to get back to the city."

With these words, Xia Xingyu was about to rush out, but Shen Peian stopped her.

"Don't panic yet. There's no way I wouldn't know that something has happened to Madam Ning."

Shen Peian's intuition told him that there must be some sort of conspiracy.

Hearing this, Xia Xingyu's mood stabilized a bit, but it was chaotic due to her concern. At this moment, she had to rush back to the city and see that Ning Xi was fine before she could rest in peace.

"I hope so. I have to go back now."

She gently removed Shen Peian's hand from her arm and walked outside without looking back. Shen Peian was right behind her, he absolutely could not let Xia Xingyu return to the City alone.

Xia Xingyu was unable to contact her own private jet, so she had no choice but to buy civil aviation.

Shen Peian's mission was to lurk by Xia Xingyu's side. Now that his identity had been exposed, he could not give up. He had discovered that this woman seemed to be more important than anything else.

"I just bought the plane ticket. I'll take off in two hours."

Shen Peian saw that Xia Xingyu was like an ant on a hot pan, so he took care of everything silently.

"Thank you, Shen Peian."

Xia Xingyu thanked him from the bottom of her heart that he had done everything for her. Perhaps she should be able to rely on Shen Peian.

The man didn't say anything. He merely patted her head lovingly.

With Xiahou Yong's temper, he wouldn't have done anything after knowing Shen Peian's identity. The flustered Xia Xingyu didn't realize this, but Shen Peian himself had this intuition.

Two hours later, the plane took off. Xia Xingyu and Shen Peian boarded the plane together.

He never thought that when he got off the plane, he would be controlled by Xiahou Yong's men.

The person holding Shen Peian down was Fu Guoqian. He had his gun pressed against Shen Peian's waist. His expression was one of arrogance and complacency, which was truly repulsive.

"Are you lying to me?"

Although it was a question, Xia Xingyu was sure that Fu Guoqian had sent her a text message in order to lure her back.

Fu Guoqian did not dare meet Xia Xingyu's gaze, he turned his face away.

"This is the order of the chairman. I have no other choice. Moreover, that place is not where you should stay. Take over the Imperial Conglomerate." "This is your future mission."

His words were spoken with dignity, but they caused Xia Xingyu to feel a wave of disgust. This man was really like a dog that couldn't change its way out of its feces.

However, it was too stupid to fall into his hands again and again.

Xia Xingyu watched as Shen Peian was taken away by them, but couldn't utter a word to beg for mercy.

She knew that with Hou Yong's character, he would never let Shen Pei An go. If she really wanted to save this man, she had to think of another way.

After returning to the Xia family's villa, Ning Xi was sitting on the sofa, reading a financial magazine.

"Why did you come back?"

The moment Ning Xi saw Xia Xingyu, it could be said that she was astonished. She had never thought that under the protection of the military, Xiahou Yong would have a way to bring his daughter back.

"Mom, I missed you."

Xia Xingyu immediately rushed to Ning Xi's side, hugging her tightly. It seemed that a lot had happened in the time they had been away from Ning Xi.

However, Xia Xingyu's heart was filled with thousands of words, and she couldn't say them out loud. At this very moment, she felt Ning Xi's true feelings, and finally felt completely at ease.

Staying in the power city might be the right decision.

The person who had followed Xia Xingyu back was Xiahou Yong. He looked at the scene of the mother and daughter crying as they embraced each other. His lips curled up into an evil and cold smile.

A moment later, he withdrew his smile and spoke in a low voice.

"Since you're back, you should take a good two days' rest and then go to work at the company."

Both mother and daughter heard the sound and turned to face him. Ning Xi subconsciously pulled Xia Xingyu behind her, afraid that Xiahou Yong would hurt her.

"I know."

Xia Xingyu shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She puffed out her chest and stood in front of Ning Xi. In this life, it was her turn to protect her mother.

But the most important thing at the moment was Shen Peian's matter.

"Oh right, why did father capture my bodyguard?"

Xia Xingyu wore a puzzled expression as she met Xiahou Yong's gaze. This time, the only improvement was that she was no longer afraid of this man.

Xiahou Yong laughed out loud when he heard Xia Xingyu's words. His eyes glanced at Ning Xi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was hinting at something.

"What is your identity as a bodyguard? Don't you know? If someone like that stays by your side, he must have ulterior motives. I captured him for your safety. "

Xiahou Yong's words were not all for Xia Xingyu's own good, but he had overlooked one point. The military was a part of the country; how could they harm the common people?

"Dad, are you going to arrest the police too?"

"Shen Peian only came to my side to be my bodyguard because his mother had helped him, but you guessed at his kindness. Do you think that's good?"

As Xia Xingyu said this, Ning Xi pulled at the corner of her clothes, wanting to stop her from talking.

Now that he was on the cusp of a storm, everyone was afraid that they wouldn't be able to make it in time. Why was this child charging up instead?

His words left Xiahou Yong at a loss for words. After all, it was a great sin to dare to touch members of the military.

Xia Xingyu's words thoroughly reminded Xiahou Yong of this. Such an open and honorable violation of the law was not in line with his style. It seemed that he needed to consider the matter of Shen Pei An in Guanzhou.

"You're right, but I didn't arrest him. I just asked him to go over and talk about something. You're too nervous."

He walked over to Xia Xingyu's side, patted her on the shoulder, and added:

"They always say that mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, and the more I see him, the more I like him. As the future father-in-law, I naturally have to get to know my son-in-law well. Could it be that you're worried that I won't like him?"

"Daddy's doing this for your own good!"
