Chapter 83

Shen Jinwen raised his eyebrows. Xiaoxiao actually remembered this? She did have a good memory. Such a good memory had not been properly nurtured and instead suffered so much. What a sin.

“Of course I know about the Yin-Yang Key. However, the Pei family and Gu Yuehua also know about it. I’m afraid that they won’t break off the engagement so easily. Using Liu Yufei to replace you is what they want.”

“Xiao Xiao, you’re still young. You don’t know that the wealth passed down from our Shen family is so rich that it could rival a country. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to buy ten businesses of the Shen family. Back then, your grandfather was worried that you would be cheated by others, so he arranged this marriage. He didn’t expect that this old thing, Pei Dongguo, was also a fox pretending to be ignorant. He had actually joined hands with Gu Yuehua long ago.”

“They have long had designs on our Shen family’s property. Now that half of the key is in their hands, they definitely won’t hand it over so easily. Looks like we have to think of a way.”

“Third Uncle, I have already made plans for this matter. Don’t be anxious for the time being. Let’s talk about it after we return from offering sacrifices to our ancestors.”

“I’ve grown up. You should take care of your old age properly. Cooking for me every day and cleaning up… If you have nothing to do, you can go to the park and play chess with those old men and women. You can just quarrel with them. You’ve already been tired for more than ten years. Now, it’s time for me to take over.”

Shen Xiaoxiao would never forget how hard her Third Uncle had suffered in order to get back the half key for her. He had risked his life. She could never bear to see her Third Uncle end up like this. This old man had devoted his entire life to the Shen family. He should be able to live a stable old age.

However, Shen Xiaoxiao thought that when the time came, Shen Jinwen would also feel very comforted and happy to hear her say this. However, this concerned the life and death of the Shen family. He would never back out at this time and let Xiaoxiao, who was not even 18 years old, face it alone.

However, he knew that he could not let the child’s good intentions be covered in dust. This matter was originally something that could not be done in time, so he was not in a hurry.

He said vaguely, “Third Uncle’s body is very strong. But Third Uncle will listen to you. Take it slow. Everything will wait until after the New Year.”

Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Third Uncle and knew that he did not want to continue this topic. Instead, he turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t open her mouth anymore. After breakfast, she sat on the sofa and started to play with the computer. Her Third Uncle would clean up and cook in a while, which made them both very satisfied.

Third Uncle treated Shen Xiaoxiao as his own child. When the child was at home, the elders of the family would do all the housework.

However, Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that the one who truly cared about their family was not to treat her Third Uncle as an outsider. It was best to be casual.

…

The resort was located in the suburbs of Huaiyuan County. It was a whole hill. It was in a remote area. However, some people knew about it except for a hot spring.

It was winter at this moment. Some people came here to soak in the hot spring. However, Shen Xiaoxiao was not the only one who looked weird.

After Dark 19 parked the car, he walked over and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, it’s not very safe here. How about we leave after soaking in the hot spring?”

“19, do you think I’m your Boss and that there are enemies everywhere? Don’t worry, this is China. The security here is top-notch. I haven’t seen any foreign organizations that dare to come to China to cause trouble.”

Hearing this, 19’s face fell. Boss doesn’t have many enemies, Miss…

“No, Miss. I’m not talking about those who aren’t safe. I’m talking about this hot spring villa. Their place isn’t very clean.”

With that said, Shen Xiaoxiao immediately knew. It seemed that news about the Black Emperor had spread all over the world. They could even find out about this small resort villa.

Naturally, Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that the Dark Empire had opened a thick file on any news related to the Ouyang family. This place was Ouyang Yu’s favorite place to stay, so they naturally investigated this place thoroughly.

However, seeing that Miss seemed to have known about this for a long time, and even knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, Dark 19 somewhat understood his Boss’ arrangements before he left.

No wonder his Boss had reminded him twice before he left that he must always follow Miss. She loved to cause trouble.

At first, he did not understand. This Miss had never returned to the country, so how could she cause trouble? Now, it seemed that she really picked big things to do. It seemed that he had to quickly make some preparations in case he needed to.

“19, have you found the person I asked you to investigate previously?”

Dark 19 suddenly came back to his senses. When he heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, he immediately told Shen Xiaoxiao what he had found out:

“Miss, I’ve already found out. That Young Master Li called Li Yang is an overseas Chinese. Three days ago, I had already summoned him back to the country under the name of Liu Yufei. I think he should arrive here tonight.”

“En, Little 19, you’re really fast. You’re quite efficient.”

Dark 19 frowned. Get rid of the ‘little’. He was 26 this year, 26 years old. He was only four years younger than his Boss, but he was ten years older than this Little Oriental Loli, okay? She actually called him Little 19? It was all because of his poor ability.

In the Dark Empire, the rankings were all based on ability. Being ranked 19 was actually a pretty good ranking, but to everyone in the Dark Empire, this was nothing.

Only those who received the Boss’s approval and were able to fight against the Boss for more than 10 moves could be considered true experts.

However, from the looks of it now, it was difficult for him to even fight against this Little Oriental Loli for eight moves. It seemed that he really needed to serve this young lady well so that she could give him some pointers when she was free.

Shen Xiaoxiao took the room card and carried her bag back to her room. It was really much more convenient to have a top-notch talent like Dark 19 to do things with.

For example, that Li Yang was one of the two rich men that Liu Yufei had seduced in the casino. One of them was a foreigner who was badly beaten up by his own wife. He had recently gone through a divorce case, so naturally, she would not look for him.

However, this Li Yang was something that Shen Xiaoxiao had not expected. The investigation showed that Li Yang had actually managed to get Liu Yufei.

This was a little strange. Li Yang did not waste any energy and did not even let Liu Yufei get any benefits. He actually made a shrewd woman like Liu Yufei submit to him. Could it be that his martial arts were too powerful? No way? What on Earth was going on?

However, since he had this kind of ability, she naturally had to make good use of it. Tonight was such a good opportunity, so she naturally had to put on a good show.

“Miss, the camera has been set up. Are you sure you want to see it?”

Shen Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked at this man who was a little hesitant. What was wrong? Could it be that she could not even see it?

“What’s wrong?”

“Miss, Boss said that you’re not allowed to look at these indecent scenes.”

Shen Xiaoxiao was instantly speechless. She hadn’t even looked at it, and it hadn’t even started yet. How could it be indecent?

“I haven’t looked at it yet. Besides, how did you know that this scene will be indecent?”
