Chapter 321 There Was Something Fishy About Xie Xiu and Rao Xue

Rao Xue. This name made Mu Zhi shudder inside. She would never forget this name. It was the name

written in blood. And Xie Xiu had rushed back to see her the next day she received that blackmail letter.

It felt heart-warming that Xie Xiu took extra care about this matter, but at the same time, it made Mu Zhi

think that there was something fishy about Rao Xue. Xie Xiu must have hidden something from her about

this woman.

When Xie Xiu heard Lu Jinye’s words, his eyes shot daggers.

Nevertheless, he had a smile glued onto his face and had his emotions hidden well.

“Really? I didn’t know that Chairman Lu was familiar with my subordinates. But thank you for your

reminder. I will take extra caution.”

After having said that, Xie Xiu deliberately put his arm over Mu Zhi’s shoulder to show dominance. Then

he looked into Lu Jinye’s eyes and took his leave.

“Have a good rest, Chairman Lu. I shall bring my love back first. Your bills are all on me, and I’ll give

some money as a sign of gratitude towards your kind deed.”

Lu Jinye was never after money.

Xie Xiu knew, but he said it to provoke Lu Jinye.

Lu Jinye did not show his bitterness.

He merely replied Xie Xiu as if in a marvel, “Mr. and Mrs. Xie are such a loving couple. Mr. Xie is so

fortunate to have such an amazing wife. You have always been the ladies’ man.”

“Goodbye.”

Lu Jinye stopped speaking.

Xie Xiu wanted to protect his image in front of Mu Zhi, so when Lu Jinye mentioned his name, he could

not display any dissatisfaction.

He could only bring Mu Zhi away.

After they got into the car in front of the hospital, Mu Zhi then looked at Xie Xiu and asked curiously, “Do

you know Lu Jinye?”

“He is my business rival.”

Xie Xiu simply explained.

Mu Zhi hesitated, and continued, “What about Rao Xue? Can you tell me about her? I’m afraid of her.”

Why on earth would a woman whom she had no relation with write her a blackmail letter in blood then

hire someone to hit her?

Was she a terrorist?

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu in awe.

Xie Xiu could see from Mu Zhi’s reaction that she was unhappy and a little terrified.

But Xie Xiu had an idea of how to coax her already.

He looked at Mu Zhi with gentle eyes and told her, “Don’t worry, okay? I’ve sent someone else to check

the surveillance cameras already. When I’ve found out the culprit, I’ll fight for your justice.”

“These are all just conspiracy theories with no evidence. Plus, there’s something suspicious with Lu

Jinye as well. It’s too much of a coincidence that he appeared all of a sudden and conveniently saved

your life.”

“We are business rivals, not business partners. It makes me feel that there’s something fishy about him

doing me a kind favor. This might be his sabotaging tactic.”

“Using his life as a business sabotaging tactic?”

Mu Zhi could not help but ask.

Xie Xiu realized that the seed of rebellion had sprouted in Mu Zhi, and he did not wish to nurture it.

So, he tried to change the topic to resolve this matter, “Are you throwing a tantrum because you are

jealous of Rao Xue?”

Upon Xie Xiu’s reminder, it only came to Mu Zhi that it was not right for her to lose her temper at Xie Xiu

like that.

She had never been like that.

Mu Zhi quickly calmed herself down and defended herself, “No, I’m just worried. But perhaps it’s just

unnecessary concern.”

It was a feeling that she had not experienced before.

Mu Zhi didn’t know why she felt imperceptibly lost as more and more incidents happened.

Those people seemed to appear in her life all at once.

But she felt that they had actually been there for a long time already.

When Mu Zhi thought about it, an inexplicable sense of panic came to her.

Mu Zhi didn’t know why.

“Let’s go home. Perhaps all of this is too much for me to absorb. I feel tired.”

Mu Zhi tried to put her thoughts to an end.

Xie Xiu gazed at Mu Zhi and nodded quietly.

He sent Mu Zhi back home as usual. Then, he excused himself and got to the company for work. Once

he arrived at the company, he directed his subordinates to find records of surveillance cameras that

captured the accident scene.

As expected, Xie Xiu saw a suspicious shadow in the records.

That shadow was Rao Xue’s.

Xie Xiu stared at the shadow for a long time. Then, he ordered his secretary, “Go and get me the best

director and editor. I want these videos to be redone. Replace Rao Xue with another woman. Get a

woman with a similar body frame as hers and capture her face in the video clearly. I want it to seem as

real as gold.”

The secretary did not know why Xie Xiu had to do this.

But she still followed his orders after receiving them.

Just as the secretary walked out of his office, she bumped into a person at the door.

That person had a sinister smile on her face. After the secretary went out, she walked straight into the

office and towards Xie Xiu.

And said as-a-matter-of-factly, “Mr. Xie, it has been a while. I wanted to discuss a collaboration between

us, but… I don’t think there’s a need for it anymore.”

“It’s quite a surprise that your relationship with your wife isn’t as good as it seems. You criticized me

previously about my way of making things go round, but don’t you think that your way of doing things is

wrong too?

Xiao Qingqing’s words ignited Xie Xiu’s fury, he halved the pen in his grip.

He frowned and roared at Xiao Qingqing, “Get lost!”

Xiao Qingqing chuckled lightly and nodded at Xie Xiu before she walked out.

She adjusted her blouse with her reflection in the elevator.

She originally came over to ally with Xie Xiu.

But she could see now that she had worried too much because… Xie Xiu was also weighed down with

Mu Zhi. He would definitely find a way to control her.

She felt relieved.

There shouldn’t be any problem in the near future!

Xiao Qingqing was in a good mood when she left.

Lu Jinye had requested a divorce, but he hadn’t sent her the divorce agreement yet. It seems that he had

been busy dealing with Xie Xiu lately.

Xiao Qingqing smiled unknowingly.

She felt extraordinarily thrilled seeing them fighting against each other.

On the other hand, Lu Jinye was sitting on his hospital bed recalling Xie Xiu’s reaction when he

mentioned Rao Xue’s name. There was definitely something fishy about Xie Xiu and Rao Xue!
