Xi Chenxiao could not figure out who would target Su Jin. There was only one possibility, but it did not seem right. He had already asked Xi Tian to keep that identity a secret, so no one should know about it. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he asked,
“Could it be that the girl’s hacker identity SU had been exposed?”
If that were the case, the girl would indeed be in danger. Who knew how many people in this world wanted hacker SU gone forever! But who would leak the secret?
Xi Tian shook his head quickly. Madam’s identity as hacker SU was only known to him and the chairman at the moment. Neither of them would have leaked the secret. He added seriously,
“That’s not the reason. According to the investigation, recently there have been assassins lurking around Madam, secretly observing her daily routine. However, they had no intention of killing madam. They attacked Madam suddenly probably because she got first place in the exams.”
Xi Chenxiao frowned with a complicated expression when he heard this. The attack wasn’t because of her identity as a hacker but because she got first place? That was really strange. He questioned Xi Tian,
“Then, what did your investigation reveal?”
Xi Tian heard Xi Chenxiao asked this and of course, he had to answer. After all, he was the head butler of the Xi family and the head of security. He had to have some insight. Moreover, after the experience overseas, he had also become a fan of Su Jin’s. He speculated,
“I think that the assassins didn’t make a move before because of Madam’s reputation as a good-for-nothing, but this time, Madam got first place in the exams and caused a sensation in school. This made the people behind the assassins very unhappy. No one likes a smart enemy after all.”
Xi Chenxiao frowned as he heard this. He then picked up the file and started reading. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he read while thinking about Xi Tian’s comments.
“You are probably right. No one would go to great lengths to kill a useless person. Has the girl been playing dumb all these years to protect herself? Did these people also keep an eye on the rest of the Su family?”
The Su family was only a third-rate wealthy family. It not possible that they had offended some great figure. It’s not worth it for someone to hire assassins after them. They weren’t worthwhile.
Xi Tian also frowned when he heard this. He was also wondering who would do such a thing? After all, Su Jin was only a student, and the Su family was nothing. He replied respectfully,
“I’ve already checked. The assassins are only targeting Madam. The rest of the Su family are safe.”
Xi Chenxiao’s expression turned even colder when he heard this. The murderous intent in his eyes grew and his cold aura caused the temperature in the office to drop. His expression was frighteningly gloomy as he said,
“Who is it that wants to deal with the girl like this?”
Xi Tian shook his head. He had no idea who would go through such lengths to target a student. Moreover, he would have said it already if he knew. He could only suggest,
“Chairman, why don’t you ask Madam when she’s back?”
Xi Chenxiao nodded. He could only ask Su Jin who she had offended recently or while she was living with the Su family. Otherwise, why would she be the only one targeted? He then ordered coldly,
“Xi Tian, get a team to secretly protect Madam. Bring Phantom back immediately to protect Madam.”
Of course, there was a more important task. Since Su Jin was not pregnant, she ought to start practicing martial arts with him as soon as possible. Her life was in danger now and she needed some degree of self-defense. He would not always be by her side.
Xi Tian nodded and quickly walked out to execute the chairman’s orders. Just as he walked out of the office, he saw Xi Shi with a respectful expression, holding a document. He was talking and laughing as he brought Shangguan Ting’er to the chairman’s office. Xi Tian stopped Xi Shi quickly and said with confusion,
“Xi Shi, don’t you know that the chairman hates it when women disturb him at work? Moreover, the chairman doesn’t get close to women and even hates them. Have you forgotten? Why did you bring Shangguan Ting’er here?”
