[Unfamiliar number]: Open the door.
Li Beinian looked at the photograph and her heart skipped a beat.
She dialed Mu Xichen’s number again, but it still went unanswered.
No, that wasn’t right.
They would be seeking Mu Xichen’s help now.
Logically speaking, Mu Xichen should be in the other party’s territory, but he should not be in danger.
On the contrary, if she were to open the door now and give them the chance to blackmail and harm Mu Xichen, he would be in danger.
In a flash, Li Beinian thought through it with clarity.
She lowered her head and dialed the Tai Chen Prefecture security number.
She deliberately went to the basement to make the call. As soon as the call went through, she scolded them.
Of course, the other party knew that Li Beinian was the lady boss. After being scolded, they immediately sent someone to check on the situation.
However, not only did Li Beinian not find out who the person knocking on the door was, even the security officer who turned up did not manage to see the person’s face.
The security guard opened the small cardboard box at the door. There was a photograph inside it.
It was a photograph of Grandpa’s old mansion in Qian Zhou.
Li Beinian’s heart sank when she saw the photo.
She couldn’t help but clench her fists, till her fingertips turned pale.
What were they trying to do?
The other party finally started moving again.
There was no pattern to it, as if it was a last-minute decision.
Mu Xichen had anticipated their movements.
However, he did not expect them to be so bold as to move so freely in and out of Xia Nation.
It was said that they would be moving at dawn.
The transportation truck would take advantage of the rainy night to cross the customs. All measures were already in place and would kick off when Mu Xichen arrived.
When T Jing found out about their motive, he scoffed. “What nonsense was that about getting your help to go under cover? They’re obviously looking for an excuse. They obviously wants to take you down with them. What deep grudge does he have against you that he has to make things difficult for you?”
Mu Xichen kept silent.
He had an idea who was behind this.
If one were caught doing these things, getting off with a light penalty would mean at least a few decades of jail. At worst, it could mean a death sentence and family members would be jailed.
Besides Mu Donglin, Mu Xichen could not think of anyone else.
However, he was, indeed, the safest bet.
He was a major general. Although he had retired from the army, he still had a strong foothold in the entire Xia Nation’s administrative department. With his help, everything would be easier.
Having understood everything, Mu Xichen took the opportunity to raise two conditions.
First: This was the last time.
Second: After this, they would go separate ways and never be in contact again.
When Bei Lun heard Mu Xichen’s condition, he sneered. “Weakling!”
“The men in Xia Nation love their home. They probably don’t want their families to know that they’re doing this, right?” Pierre adjusted his glasses. Standing beside Bei Lun, his short stature made him look inconsequential. His thick-rimmed glasses rested against the freckles on his face, making him look rather ugly.
Bei Lun looked at Pierre and reached out to touch his head. “This is the weakness of Xia Nation men. What did Peter say?”
“That woman refused to open the door.” Pierre closed the book in his hand and looked at Bei Lun. “Brother, I think you’re too soft-hearted.”
Bei Lun was surprised. “Oh?”
“That woman is Mu’s weakness, and that old man is that woman’s weakness. Wouldn’t it be more direct to capture the old man and force that woman to compromise?”
Bei Lun laughed when he heard this. “The boss is working on another matter. That old man is the key.” His gray eyes flashed. “We can’t touch him yet. If we spoil the boss’ plans, we won’t get any money.”
