Chapter 1075: Shrouded in Mystery

“Phew—”

After hanging up the phone.

Xu Shaochen let out a long sigh.

Whether he could seize the initiative.

Depended on what kind of information he could extract from these three people.

Tianqing.

Better not let me find your old nest.

Otherwise, I’ll certainly elevate your entire family to heaven.

According to Number One.

The people of Tianqing had also been injected with genetic serum.

Though it was a diluted version available in the market.

So their combat skills couldn’t match those of Xu International Security Company’s guards. One-on-one, they were basically outmatched.

Fortunately, Xu Shaochen had made contingencies back then.

He hadn’t released the undiluted serum into the market.

Otherwise, he would’ve created a formidable enemy for himself.

In any case.

One thing that had been weighing on his mind all day had finally settled.

Xu Shaochen felt much more relaxed.

“Crap!”

Glancing at the time on his phone, he couldn’t help but curse.

He quickly grabbed the coat on the chair and headed out of the office.

Today, he promised to accompany the three pregnant women from his family to buy maternity clothes.

He was so preoccupied with the matters regarding Tianqing that he nearly forgot.

Darn it.

If his three treasures got angry because he was late, he’d blame Tianqing! (Tianqing: It’s so hard for me…) Meanwhile.

After leaving Tianyu Game Company, Liu Jun made a call, speaking politely:

“Director Zhao, I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid we can’t proceed with our cooperation. I have an urgent matter to attend to, thank you… thank you for understanding.”

After hanging up, Liu Jun quickly walked toward his car.

No business deal was as profitable as a little favor from Xu Shaochen.

He could clearly discern what was more important.

………

In a private room at the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

Two young men in their thirties were sitting inside.

“Damn! That guy named Liu suddenly had an urgent matter. We’ll have to wait a couple of days to contact him again.”

The young man in a silver suit cursed after hanging up the phone.

His face showed obvious signs of plastic surgery. His expression was a bit stiff, and his features were almost too perfect.

“That’s fine, I’ve not been back to Jiangzhou in years. I’ll take my dear one out for a stroll. Contact me again when Liu Jun reaches out.”

The young man in a black suit said casually, quickly picking up a few bites of food and downing a glass of red wine.

Then, wiping his mouth, he got up to leave.

“Xie Ru, I really admire you. You take your girl with you to do business. Can’t find women outside?”

The young man in the silver suit frowned, clearly finding his companion bothersome.

“Heh, I’m devoted to my dear. Those flashy gals outside can’t satisfy my empty heart.”

Xie Ru chuckled, hugging the silver-suit young man’s shoulder and said, “But you, Zhao Fu, don’t shout at me so much. After all, I’ve been with Tianqing longer than you.”

“Really? Hard to tell you joined the organization earlier and yet ended up under my command.” Zhao Fu sneered, making no secret of his mockery.

Xie Ru’s face darkened instantly. “That guy named Zhao, you’ve just crawled into someone’s bed with your surgically enhanced face at your age. It’s disgusting.”

He looked down on Zhao Fu.

Or, in Tianqing, few genuinely respected Zhao Fu.

Because this guy relied on his surgically altered face and sweet-talking to cozy up to a rich lady in the organization.

The crucial point was that she was no ordinary old woman, already seventy.

As they often joked privately, Zhao Fu wasn’t afraid of being too active at night and throwing out the old lady’s back.

Of course, in another way, Zhao Fu was quite ruthless for doing such a thing.

“Yeah, you’re so noble. You want to climb into someone’s bed, but they don’t fancy you.” Zhao Fu fearlessly countered, “Don’t forget, I’m in charge of this operation.”

Xie Ru was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. “Fine, Zhao Fu. Why are you so keen on troubling Xu Shaochen? Got a grudge against him?”

“Mind your own business.” Zhao Fu said coldly.

“Alright, you’re the boss.”

Xie Ru curled his lip, letting go of Zhao Fu’s shoulder and turning to leave the room.

“Bang!”

The room door closed.

Zhao Fu’s face was so dark it seemed like water could drip from it. His eyes sparked with icy fury as he murmured,

“Xu Shaochen, you never dreamed I’d be back, did you? Too bad, you probably don’t recognize me now.”

“Ring ring ring…”

His phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, his face twisted in disgust.

Then, taking a deep breath, he answered in a gentle voice, “Darling, I’m already in Jiangzhou, no need to worry about me. You’ve been a bit sick, so remember to take your meds.”

“Okay, don’t worry, take care of yourself. Once you finish this job, you’ll be credited and get a promotion.”

The voice on the phone was old and hoarse.

After some lovey-dovey talk, the May-December relationship duo finally ended the call.

Zhao Fu’s expression was as ugly as swallowing a dead fly. Only he knew how he’d endured so many long nights.

But it was all worth it to get revenge on Xu Shaochen.

………………

Xu Shaochen had no idea that a ruthless man had targeted him.

He just arrived home.

True to expectations, as he walked into the living room.

He saw three women sitting on the sofa, faces cold and lips pouted, obviously upset.

“Oh! Who do we have here? It’s our important figure, Chairman Xu! Chairman Xu is so busy every day. How come you still remember to come back?”

Liu Ruxue glanced at Xu Shaochen, deliberately speaking sarcastically to vent her displeasure.

After all, Xu Shaochen rarely had time to accompany them.

He had promised yesterday to accompany them to shop for maternity clothes today.

They had dressed happily, only for Xu Shaochen to be so late anyone would have a temper.

Especially with the unstable emotions during pregnancy.

“My dear, don’t be mad. Anger is not good for the little one. I admit it’s all my fault. I won’t dare again.”

Xu Shaochen smiled cheekily, hugging Liu Ruxue and pecking her cheek.

Then he repeated the gesture, pecking the cheeks of Liu Ruxu and Lin Wanxue.

“So gross, you got saliva all over my face.”

Liu Ruxu pushed Xu Shaochen away, rolling her eyes.

Xu Shaochen chuckled, knowing he had appeased them.

“Let’s go, my dear ladies, it’s still early; we can still make it.”

The three pregnant women huffed, proudly getting up to follow Xu Shaochen outside.
