Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 685 - 665: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 3)

If there is any sudden movement, they can rush in immediately.

"Your bodyguards are really loyal to you." Xia Luo remarked sarcastically after the bodyguards left.

Zhan Yunxiao: "They’ve been with the Zhan Family for many years, wanting to protect me is only natural, you don’t need to be angry with them."

"I’m not angry with them, I just feel that life is unfair." Xia Luo said, "You’ve been pampered and cherished since you were young, had such a strong father to protect you, a gentle mother to love you. Everyone around you treats you like a treasure. But Yang wasn’t; he was an orphan, and I understood the hardships of growing up as one when I crafted that identity. You and he are clearly the same kind of people, clearly the same age, yet the growing process was vastly different."

"But his misery wasn’t caused by me." Zhan Yunxiao said.

Xia Luo: "But his death was because of you."

"Was it because of me?" Zhan Yunxiao asked back, "Did he really die because of me?"

"Otherwise, give me a reason." Xia Luo said.

"Alright, I’ll tell you the reason now." Zhan Yunxiao began slowly: "I knew you were in love with Fang Qingyang, it was indeed hard to accept at first. However, as long as he’s trustworthy, I had no intention of separating you. But, the results of my investigation showed that he was just an emotional conman. With such a person, how could I entrust you to him? So, I asked him to meet after his performance to negotiate, but I didn’t expect him to suddenly attack me, nor did I expect him to suddenly commit suicide. That is the whole truth, believe it or not, this is the fact."

"Going on and on, still talking about these things." Xia Luo lowered her head with a bitter smile.

Zhan Yunxiao: "Initially, I couldn’t comprehend why he would do that, or why he would commit suicide. I thought he wouldn’t tell you anything because he was ashamed of showing you his true colors. Until my people found Sister Lin, I think I understood the reason. It was because of his sister. He may have once been an emotional conman, but it was to raise money for his sister. And suddenly attacking me, then suddenly committing suicide, I think it’s because someone took his sister and used her to threaten him, he had no choice."

"So you mean, his sudden actions were related to his sister’s disappearance?" Xia Luo asked.

Zhan Yunxiao nodded.

Xia Luo furrowed her brows.

Actually, when Sister Lin told them that Qingqing had gone missing earlier, she already had suspicions in her heart.

Sure enough, Zhan Yunxiao also thought this way.

"Who do you think took Qingqing?" Xia Luo asked.

Zhan Yunxiao: "I have already sent people to investigate this matter, and I suppose there will be clues very soon. However, one can boldly speculate who wants to worsen our relationship. Doing so, who benefits more."

"You mean Mu Chen?" Xia Luo clenched her fists.

Zhan Yunxiao: "Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else. Actually, you also suspect him, don’t you?"

Xia Luo lowered her eyes, stayed silent, which counted as agreeing.

Zhan Yunxiao: "Mu Chen has already withdrawn from Jiangcheng’s business circle, finding traces of him won’t be easy. I hope you can provide me with more clues. That way, I can save Qingqing."

"I don’t know how much of what you say is true or false, I need to investigate this matter myself first." Xia Luo said.

This time she was very cautious; she didn’t want to believe anyone.

Having been deceived before, one inevitably learns to grow.

Zhan Yunxiao didn’t make things difficult for her: "Alright, you investigate yourself, but let me know if there’s anything I can help with. Moreover, if you go to find Mu Chen, I hope I can send people to be with you, to ensure your safety."

"If he wanted to hurt me, he would have done it a long time ago, not wait until now. Don’t worry, I won’t be in danger." Xia Luo declined his good intentions.

Zhan Yunxiao had no choice but to nod and wait for her good news.

They parted ways, Xia Luo left with Xue in her arms.

Zhan Yunxiao originally wanted to send her off, but she refused.

Zhan Yunxiao had no choice but to instruct the bodyguards: "Protect her safety covertly."

"Yes."

Xia Luo took Xue home, knowing all the way she was being followed and knowing it was Zhan Yunxiao’s people.

The next day, she met with the person she agreed with online while holding Xue.

This person was a cat lover who wanted to adopt a kitten.

Xia Luo had thoroughly investigated her character before deciding to give her the kitten.

Besides Xue, Xia Luo also brought along the remaining cat food and litter.

And handed a red envelope to the girl.

The girl declined: "I didn’t ask for adoption fees from you, how can I accept your money?"

"I’m sending Xue away not because I don’t want to care for it, but because I can’t manage to take care of it anymore. It’s like family to me, please take the money and take good care of it."

The girl couldn’t decline further, so she accepted and promised Xia Luo she would take good care of Xue.

After Xia Luo and the girl parted ways, she left the café.

Not long after leaving, a black business car stopped before her.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face familiar to Xia Luo.
