Chapter 267 Xia Nuan succeeded
Shen An’s words made Xia Nuan depressed and distressed. And her eyes followed Shen An’s, seeing that the three kids were playing happily in the living room. She said slowly, “Yes, we are done.”
Shen An felt sorry for what she said and looked at her, “What happened between you two? I think you are in a good relationship.”
Xia Nuan bitterly smiled, “Nothing but your false impression.”
Shen An stopped asking but comforted her, “It’s no big deal. He abandoned you and your kids, of course you can forget him, right? A man who doesn’t love you isn’t worth your remembering.”
Xia Nuan smiled and nodded, “Yeah, you’re right. He doesn’t deserve it. All I need to do is to bring up my three kids and give them a carefree childhood.”
Shen An agreed with her, “That’s right. I’m on your side.”
Xia Nuan stared at Wuyou and Nianci, seeming to make a firm decision. She held that jade and lost in thought.
In the deep night, she went to a gruesome and ancient castle.
The guard at the gate recognized Xia Nuan and took out a weapon to her with hostility. Xia Nuan showed the jade calmly. The guard immediately put his weapon away with respect and bowed his head, making a gesture of inviting her in.
Xia Nuan walked into the castle with two safeguards.
Baili looked at Xia Nuan with strong hostilities. When he saw the jade in her hands, he hid the feeling all of a sudden, and then had to bow low to her, “Ms. Xia, I still doubt your position at Yuezhao Organization. But I’m so curious about the reason why you have the jade? It belongs to Mrs. Baili. Why do you have it?”
He said his confusion out.
Xia Nuan smiled, “She gave it to me. Of course I have it.”
Baili still doubted her, “Mrs. Baili lost her daughter many years ago. The girl has a crescent cinnabar mole in her arm. At first, I thought Ms. Xia was her daughter. But I learned from your mother Zeng Guihua that you didn’t have the mole in your arm when you were born. So, your cinnabar mole is fake. Which means, you are not Mrs. Baili’s daughter. So, on what identity do you hold the jade? Or, your jade is just a fake?”
Baili voiced his suspicion.
Xia Nuan smiled slowly, “It’s none of your business whether I’m her daughter or not. Now I’m her successor. The jade owner is the most authoritative person in Yuezhao Organization. You know the rule. So, you know what I mean.”
Baili gave a cold snort as if he didn’t care about it, “Since Mrs. Baili believes you so much, you must have met her.”
Xia Nuan nodded, “Of course.”
Seeing that she was so calm, Baili began to worry.
What if Xia Nuan really had met Mrs. Baili?
Thinking of this, Baili’s manner softened and he smiled at Xia Nuan, “In this case, please lead me to visit Mrs. Baili. I haven’t seen her since she was ill.”
When he finished, several men in suits followed his words, “Yes, we’ve always wanted to visit Mrs. Baili, but she has been on the move, so we don’t have a chance.”
“If Ms. Xia really knows Mrs. Baili’s address, just take us there.”
Baili looked at Xia Nuan to observe her expression, “Ms. Xia, we all want to visit Mrs. Baili. Why not take us there? After all, you have met her, and she trusts you very much.”
Xia Nuan knew that Baili had made such a request to see if she really knew Mrs. Baili. But how could she come here without preparation?
Actually, it was true that she didn’t know Mrs. Baili, nor had she ever seen her.
Xia Nuan smiled shallowly, “Okay, I will take you to Mrs. Baili as you wish. If I do this, no one would suspect me anymore, right?”
She put on her glasses and stood up, “Let’s go now.”
Baili and his men followed Xia Nuan and left the ancient castle.
Baili decided to figure out whether Xia Nuan was really familiar with Mrs. Baili or she was just lying. So, he took his men to Mrs. Baili with Xia Nuan.
Mrs. Baili was the backbone of Yuezhao Organization. The organization had branches everywhere, and Baili Family sent different people to control the interests of various groups. Among them, Baili was in charge of Modu City and Feicheng City.
Everyone in Yuezhao Organization knew that Mrs. Baili was not in Modu City. The headquarter of Yuezhao Organization was said to be in the distant eastern Hemisphere. But it was heard recently that Mrs. Baili was not there because she had gone to a place to recuperate. No one knew where Mrs. Baili was going, but Xia Nuan said she knew. It was clear that the people in Yuezhao Organization wanted to test if Xia Nuan’s words were true. Especially Baili, he was eager to know if Mrs. Baili was in touch with Xia Nuan, and if Mrs. Baili really thought she was important.
Xia Nuan took Baili and other authoritative members in Yuezhao Organization into the car. Driving straight through the busy city center, they came upon a suburb full of green.
Finally, Baili could not help asking Xia Nuan, “Mrs. Baili can’t be here. So, stop your trick.”
Through the rearview mirror, Xia Nuan smiled to Baili and said, “I’m not playing any tricks. It’s true that Mrs. Baili is here to recuperate because the air is fresh and very suitable for recuperation. Also, she’s ill and can’t live in noisy places.”
Hearing this, Baili stopped questioning her, looking at her warily with his men.
Xia Nuan’s safeguard drove the car and finally took them to a thicket. Baili maintained his sharp vigilance again.
At this moment, a quiet building appeared ahead. There were several men in black outside the gate of the building in the distance, surrounded by a variety of green fresh flowers and plants. But the air was filled with a dignified feeling. Then Xia Nuan got off, so did others.
“Ms. Xia, are you sure Mrs. Baili lives here?” A member of Yuezhao Organization asked Xia Nuan. He still felt skeptical.
“Yes, Mrs. Baili is here. And if you don’t believe me, you can leave.” Xia Nuan coldly said.
They were speechless. Then one of the men exposed his weapon in his waist deliberately so that Xia Nuan could see it.
Xia Nuan glanced at it inadvertently, but she just sneered, pretended not to notice it and continued to go forward.
She knew clearly that they were all cunning and cruel. And if they couldn’t see Mrs. Baili, she would be in danger.
Xia Nuan and her safeguards led them to the building. Baili found that those men in black who waited outside had a common ground. They all shared small crescent tattoos on their arms. Obviously, it was Yuezhao Organization’s sign that Baili was familiar with. So, Baili was a little bit relieved about Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan looked at Baili and asked with a smile, “Mr. Baili, Mrs. Baili is inside, please.”
Xia Nuan said that calmly. There was no trace of bewilderment or fear on her face.
Baili and the rest went in, and then Xia Nuan followed.
As they were walking toward the living room, the door suddenly closed. Baili and his partners pulled out their weapons at the same time. But they were trapped in a sealed iron cage which fell from above. They could only expose their heads to breath.
The rest of their bodies were tightly sealed in the tight cage.
They pulled the triggers angrily and fired into the cage, but it was useless. The cage was too tough.
The door opened and Xia Nuan came out.
Baili looked at Xia Nuan with anger, “You’re a bitch! How dare you set me a trap?”
Xia Nuan sneered, “Mr. Baili, I’m sorry, but I have to. Now Ye Sichen is traced by the Allies, so I have to start with you to help him out.”
“What do you want? Xia Nuan, you tricked us with a fake jade. When I get the chance to go out, I won’t spare you!” Baili stamped his feet angrily.
“I have no idea what’s gonna happen in the future and nobody can forecast that. All I need to do now is to deal with the present issues.” Xia Nuan went over and took the jade, “Guess you guys have to stay here for a few days. My advice, behave yourselves because my subordinates are not easy to be messed with.”
When Xia Nuan was talking, several men behind her removed the Yuezhao Organization’s tattoo from their arms and walked toward the cage. Then, they took out a box of snakes, seeming like highly venomous cobras. The snakes spit their scaring tongues toward those in the cage. That was such a horrifying picture.
Baili and those members of Yuezhao Organization were frightened.
“So, gentlemen, if you keep shouting, I’m sure these snakes will be happy to oblige.” Xia Nuan held the jade in her hand and then spoke to those behind her, “Take good care of Mr. Baili and other gentlemen.”
“Yes.” Several voices sounded in unison.
Then, Xia Nuan left.
Baili gnashed his teeth and trembled with anger.
This merciless woman! He didn’t expect that she would set such a trap for him! He was so intent on finding out if Xia Nuan was in touch with Mrs. Baili that he ignored everything else and even let down his guard, which led to Xia Nuan’s success.
