Chapter 364 - Crab! (2/2)

When she heard him, she gasped, "Who'd it be?"

"I'm not sure. I've told my men to look into it. Those masked men? They are highly trained and dangerous. Whoever hired them must be someone who had lots of money. As long as they are still in the country, I'd be able to find them. I'm just worried that they would smuggle him out of the country before I can find them. The thing is, I'm not sure if the men came to save him or otherwise."

"Why did you say so?" asked Kai Xin.

"According to my man, the masked men were shooting randomly as if they did not care about the safety of Ye Tian. In fact, my man said that while Ye Tian was trying to escape, he was shot by one of the masked men."

"Is he-?"

DX knew what she was asking and he interrupted her, "No. I don't think so. He was shot in the leg before he was taken away by them."

"Alright…" said Kai Xin. She did not want Ye Tian to die so easily. However, she could not help but worry about it. After the revelation yesterday, who would dare to save Ye Tian? If the person who saved him wanted to cause him harm, then why? Why not just killed him on the spot?

DING! DONG!

When she heard the bell, Kai Xin immediately jumped up from DX and walked towards the door to open it. As DX watched her, he smirked and thought, "She's going to start waddling all the time soon…"

He had not noticed it before but Kai Xin had been walking with a little waddle. It was just that she knew about it and had been consciously telling herself to walk properly in public. When she was at home, she would just walk in a more comfortable way instead of forcing herself to close her legs tight together.

When she opened the door after looking through the peephole, she greeted loudly, "Hi, Head Manager Han!"

"Good afternoon, Madam President Du," said Head Manager Han.

Famished, Kai Xin pulled the food cart in and said, "Just call me Kai Xin or Ms. Zhen. Madam President Du sounds like a mouthful."

Head Manager Han walked in after her and closed the door behind him. He went to DX and said, "President Du. I've heard of what happened. I talked to my old team at Shenlong House and they said they would look into it. But as far as they know, no one has contacted anyone from the Shenlong House for a kidnapping job. So, we are thinking…"

DX interrupted him, "Foreign merc?"

He did not even look at Head Manager Han. His eyes were on Kai Xin and he looked on worriedly as she tried to get the lobster meat out of one of the lobsters. She was never good at it.

Head Manager Han nodded. With the Du Family's influence, not that many people would dare to take away the people that were wanted by President Du. The ones who did were probably either crazy, desperate for money or from a rival underground family. The other group would be foreign mercenaries who had no idea who they were messing with.

Either way, Head Manager Han would have a lot of work to do.

As he looked at Kai Xin, he asked DX, "President Du, it's unlike the Madam President to eat crab this early in the day. I thought she prefers porridge for breakfast?"

DX glanced at him wryly before saying, "She's pregnant. It's normal for a pregnant woman, or so I'm told."

Head Manager Han nodded, "Well, I hope that Madam President Du likes my cooking. If there's nothing else, I should get back to my work."

DX nodded and waved his hand to dismiss him. Once Head Manager Han left, DX went to Kai Xin and sat next to her as he watched her eat. She had given up on the crabs that were cooked in the shell and focused on the Chilli Crab where Head Manager Han had removed the shells.

After a while, she sighed and said, "Don't watch me when I'm eating. You're stressing me out."

When she looked at DX, he smiled at the little dot of red sauce that was the side of her lips. Just as she was about to turn back to her food, he cupped her face and licked the red sauce off.

"Wha-"

He then kissed her lips and lingered there for a few seconds. When he parted, he said, "I forgot to reward you for your bravery yesterday."

Kai Xin blushed slightly. She did not think that she was brave or anything but when she heard DX praised her, she felt a little happy.

Suddenly, she recalled something and turned to him to say nervously, "My mum! She must be worried sick!"

"Don't worry about it. I gave her a call earlier. I thought that you might want to sleep longer so I told her that we'd be back later."

She sighed in relief, "Great…"

After a while, she asked softly, "D-Did my dad call?"

DX shook his head, "I didn't receive anything, and he didn't call your phone either. Maybe he didn't watch the press conference yesterday."

As she continued to eat at a slower pace, she nodded, seemingly a little depressed from it.
