The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Chapter 145

Chapter 145 - Bureau X

Before the call ended, when she heard that the man was out of danger, Mo Zhu sneered, “Black Tiger, why are you in such a sorry state this time? You got surrounded on a mission? You’re really embarrassing the Pavilion of Love.”

Sighing, the man found a blind spot where the camera would not be able to capture him and leaned against the wall, pulling down the black mask that covered his face. This person was Black Tiger, one of the four great killers of the Pavilion of Love that Xu Huan had mentioned on the phone just now.

“Almighty K, you might not know this, but the person chasing me now really has nothing to do with the mission I accepted. It’s that group of brats from Bureau X. It’s probably because they remember that I had disrupted their business the last time. Just as I arrived in Beijing this morning, they blocked my way at Golden Sands Beach. I didn’t expect that after more than a year, they still won’t let me off!” Black Tiger swallowed his saliva and complained angrily.

When Mo Zhu heard this, she propped her chin on one hand and pondered for a few seconds. “The people from Bureau X? Are you sure it’s them? Have you provoked any other enemies on your recent missions?”

The incident this time was so similar that Mo Zhu couldn’t help but suspect that the person Huo Xuan was chasing was Black Tiger. Just now, she had already understood the terrain and street situation of Golden Sands Beach very clearly through the GPS. At this time, other than Black Tiger being surrounded here, there was no sign of anyone else fighting within a few kilometers.

Before Mo Zhu could think it through, Black Tiger lowered his voice and replied, “No. I haven’t taken on any big orders recently. Besides the time when I was careless and my whereabouts were discovered by Bureau X, I didn’t leave any evidence for the other missions. It shouldn’t be wrong as they were able to mobilize so many people to stop me.”

Mo Zhu pinched her brows and asked indifferently, “Do you know someone named Huo Xuan? Or Xu Huan?”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s question, the other party seemed to have thought for a while. After more than ten seconds, he answered, “I’ve never heard of Huo Xuan, but I have some impression of Xu Huan. The eldest young master of the Xu family is considered quite famous in Beijing. The last time I took that order, I even bumped into him overseas!”

After a pause, Black Tiger seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly, “Why did Almighty K suddenly ask about this? Are you going to deal with these two people? This matter is easy to handle. You don’t have to take action personally, let me help…”

Before the man could finish, Mo Zhu interrupted him anxiously, “It’s alright. I was just asking casually. Since you don’t have much contact with them, it’s alright.”

“Oh,” Black Tiger replied softly. He thought that these two people had provoked Almighty K and he even wanted to help Almighty K get rid of them to return the favor. He didn’t expect him to be happy for nothing.

“Alright, it’s even harder to get out of this museum. Think about how you’re going to deal with it yourself. I have something on, so I’ll hang up first.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu hung up the call without waiting for a reply.

No matter how Mo Zhu thought about it, the matter with Black Tiger had something to do with Huo Xuan. This was a huge problem. If he really had a conflict with Huo Xuan, with Mo Zhu’s current status, she really didn’t know who she should help.

Not only was Mo Zhu in a difficult position, but Huo Xuan’s situation wasn’t any better either. Seeing that Black Tiger whom he had chased for a year and almost captured had escaped, he slammed his fist on the desk in anger.

“D*mn! The Black Tiger escaped again!” Huo Xuan’s voice was cold, and there was a hint of indignation in his voice.

Xu Huan was talking to the man on the phone. At this moment, he also grumbled on the other end of the phone, “So many people have been mobilized, why did we let him escape? The vicinity of Golden Sands Beach is surrounded by us. This person shouldn’t have disappeared into thin air!”

Huo Xuan turned off his computer in frustration. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out where Black Tiger could escape to. His eyes darkened as he instructed Xu Huan coldly, “Send someone to continue monitoring his every move. If there’s any news, report it to me immediately. I don’t believe he can escape from under the watch of so many people the next time!”

After instructing Xu Huan, Huo Xuan wasn’t in the mood to continue investigating Black Tiger’s escape route. Remembering that he hadn’t finished breakfast with Mo Zhu, he hung up and went downstairs.

After returning to the dining table, Mo Zhu was enjoying the warm sweet porridge. Huo Xuan quickly walked over and took out two eggs that were still steaming with heat. He sat on the chair and peeled them slowly.

Seeing the man come downstairs, Mo Zhu lowered her head and asked as she ate her porridge, “Are you done?”

He placed the eggs that had been removed from their shells onto the plate in front of the girl and replied indifferently, “Yes, it’s done, but we didn’t manage to catch him and he escaped.”

The answer met what she expected. At that instant, Mo Zhu did not know how to respond and she could only smile politely as she replied, “It’s alright. You’ve failed this time but you can continue working hard for the next time.”

Nodding, Huo Xuan looked at Mo Zhu gently. “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and eat breakfast.”

Knowing that Huo Xuan didn’t want to talk too much about it, Mo Zhu wouldn’t ask for trouble. The two of them didn’t say anything else and they finished breakfast in a short while.

After tidying up the table briefly, Huo Xuan instructed Mo Zhu to take good care of herself before driving to the company to settle some matters.

Mo Zhu was a little bored. She sat quietly on the sofa in the living room and played with her phone from time to time.

At this moment, another unknown number called. When she saw the last few digits of the number, Mo Zhu cleared her throat and picked up the call.

Mo Zhu's mother remarried after her father went missing, and she had lived in the countryside with her elderly grandmother ever since. The girl who had no parents wanted to protect herself. Therefore, to avoid getting bullied, she had turned wild since she was a child—she played truant, fought, and drank. There was nothing she did not know how to do. She was a problematic student in the eyes of her teachers, a big sister in the eyes of her classmates, and a hooligan in the eyes of her acquaintances. When she was eighteen, her birth mother retrieved her to live at her stepfather's house. Everyone in the village claimed that she was going to live a happy life in the city, that her mother had not forgotten that she had a daughter here. "Mo Zhu, the Huo family is one of the most powerful families in the country. It's your good fortune to replace your younger sister in marrying into the Huo family. You have to cherish this opportunity," explained her mother patiently as she held Mo Zhu's hand. Mo Zhu's eyes were filled with sorrow. At that instant, she knew why her mother thought of her. Inviting her over to the city to enjoy life was simply a figment of her imagination—she was simply an exploitable piece of trash that her mother could sacrifice. The Eldest Young Master of the Huo family fell severely ill recently. He did not just develop a twisted personality, but also became violent and cruel. His face had been completely ruined and he had only two years left to live. Mo Zhu's younger sister was supposed to be Eldest Young Master Huo's fiancée, but the ruined young master was no longer a suitable match. Fearing the Huo family's influences, her mother did not dare to cancel the marriage, thus she sent Mo Zhu under the bus to protect her younger sister. However, was Mo Zhu truly just a useless simpleton who knew how to smoke, drink, and fight? No! That was simply a disguise she used for self-defense since she was a girl without parents. After marrying into the Huo family, she stopped smoking, drinking, and fighting. She became the best daughter-in-law a mother-in-law could ever have; the best wife a husband could ever have. What never occurred to anyone was she no longer flunked in her studies. In fact, she transformed into a straight-A student. Half a year later, she enrolled in the best university in the country and majored in specialized medicine. Determined to become an excellent doctor, she cured her husband's illness completely in merely two years. That handsome and suave Eldest Young Master Huo returned. After Huo Xuan's recovery, he allocated a huge budget and held the biggest wedding of the century for Mo Zhu. During the grand wedding ceremony, Huo Xuan announced during his speech, "In this lifetime, there are two people I'm most grateful for other than my parents. One of them is my mother-in-law. Thank you for despising me after I fell ill and forcing my wife to marry me in her younger sister's stead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the most important person in my life! The second person must be my wife! She never despised me when I was at my lowest. Instead, she takes good care of me. She's an angel sent by God, and she has saved me with her forgiveness and kindness, granting me a second chance at life."
