Chapter Index

    Xu Shaochen didn’t know Huo Xiao was plotting against him tonight.

    Otherwise, with his explosive temper, he would definitely have…

    Delivered himself clean to the door ((≡≡)). He chatted briefly with Huo Xiao on the phone and arrived home by the end of the call.

    As usual, there were only three pregnant women at home.

    Other women were either working or studying, all with their own careers.

    They said their children would inherit their own businesses, no need to fight for Xu Shaochen’s fortune.

    “Why are you back so early?”

    Liu Ruxue asked, ignoring the extra buttons on Xu Shaochen and the kiss marks on his neck.

    To be honest, we’re used to it.

    “Find me some clothes. I have a dinner to attend tonight.”

    Xu Shaochen spoke while sitting beside Lin Wanxue, reaching out to touch her slightly bulging belly.

    Feeling the warmth on his palm, Xu Shaochen smiled fondly.

    This is his descendant, and by next year, he’ll be a dad.

    The Chinese desire for progeny is unmatched by any country.

    Once someone has a child, their way of doing things changes drastically.

    “Stop touching, it’s only been a few months, what can you feel?”

    Lin Wanxue pushed Xu Shaochen’s hand away, coyly glaring at him.

    In fact, Xu Shaochen’s teasing made her heart burn as if on fire, making it hard for her to cope.

    During pregnancy, women have increased estrogen which heightens certain desires.

    But being pregnant, she can’t act rashly.

    “Hehe.”

    Xu Shaochen wasn’t angry at being slapped. He laughed foolishly.

    “Ring ring ring…”

    Suddenly, his phone rang.

    It was an overseas number. Xu Shaochen didn’t think much and answered it.

    “Hello.”

    “Boss, Paradise Island just underwent an attack. The opposition was well-prepared, heavily armed, and targeted. We lost over a hundred brothers repelling them. Requesting reinforcements.”

    Xu Shaochen had just said one word when a rapid voice filled with chatter came from the phone.

    His face changed dramatically, and he stood up from the sofa: “Prepare defenses. I’ll notify the security company to send reinforcements and resources. Inform me immediately of any update.”

    “Yes, Boss. We hope support arrives quickly. We’re worried about a second attack.”

    Xu Shaochen hung up, his expression bleak, and directly contacted the head of Xu International Security Company.

    “Boss…”

    “Immediately send the first team to Paradise Island and transport one-third of the company’s current resources. Prohibit the other three teams from accepting any assignments. Call them back to standby!”

    Before the person finished speaking, Xu Shaochen had issued a series of orders.

    Xu International Security Company has four divisions, each with 7,000 guards, plus special teams totaling over 30,000 security personnel.

    Deploying the first division is because its head “Number One” is on Paradise Island.

    Paradise Island being attacked touched Xu Shaochen’s most sensitive nerve.

    The island hosts his intended headquarters and crucially the lab and genetic serum factory.

    He feared they were targeting the genetic serum.

    If that’s true, what does it mean?

    It means someone knows the genetic serum is Xu’s creation and its precise location.

    How could Xu Shaochen not be nervous?

    “Yes, Boss!”

    Xu International Security is effectively a strong, battle-experienced…security force.

    The management also displays a strong style.

    They don’t question Xu Shaochen’s orders, only obey.

    After hanging up, Xu Shaochen made several more calls.

    With one demand.

    Which is to investigate!

    Dig three feet to uncover everything about this attack.

    Who did it? Why? Where are they now?

    Everything must be uncovered, or Xu Shaochen won’t rest easy.

    After the last call, Xu Shaochen’s face was intimidatingly grim.

    “What happened? That was so frightening just now.”

    Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxu, and Lin Wanxue exchanged glances, patting their chests in lingering fear.

    They did so deliberately to ease Xu Shaochen’s mood.

    “It’s nothing, my fault for scaring you. Just a minor issue, I’ll handle it.”

    Xu Shaochen remembered the three pregnant women and forced a smile, speaking gently to them.

    The three exchanged looks, obviously not believing Xu Shaochen’s reassurance.

    “Shaoa, we don’t know what happened and can’t help much. Just remember, you have us and your unborn children.”

    Liu Ruxu embraced Xu Shaochen’s arm, speaking softly with deep affection.

    “Yes, Shaochen. Even if we lose everything, you still have us, and we can live happily.”

    Liu Ruxue echoed, her love-filled eyes hiding a worry deep down.

    The underlying meaning is to consider them and the children before anything happens. Prioritize safety first.

    They heard Xu Shaochen summoning people and resources, each word conveying danger.

    “Don’t worry, I know. Besides, do I as the boss have to be on the front lines? Why hire all those employees?”

    Xu Shaochen held Liu Ruxu’s hand and feigned relaxation. His employees are 30,000 armed international guards.

    “Ring ring ring…”

    The phone rang again. It was Jenny’s call, she likely got the report.

    “Shaochen, Paradise Island…”

    “I know already, I’ve responded. Don’t worry, with me here, it’s fine.”

    Jenny was cut off by Xu Shaochen.

    “……….”

    Jenny was silent for a moment then hung up.

    It’s silent trust in Xu Shaochen.
