Chapter 825 - White-Eyed Wolf (1/2)

Staring at the photo of his wife and his daughter, Xin Zimen seemed to be lost. He had come back to rest for a while in his room but ended up taking out their photo and then, he lost track of time completely.

He looked at the beaming face of the little girl in the photo and his eyes softened. ”How is my little angel? Did you miss Ah-Xin?” His hand caressed the girl in the photo and he smiled, ”Ah-Xin is really sorry for not giving you time these days. I had been busy with stuff. I know, it's no excuse. I should have made time for you. I'm really sorry! It won't happen again. I'll try my best that it won't happen again.”

Seeing that smiling face made his heart ache all over again. He was torturing himself for years like this but he couldn't help it now. It had become a habit to talk to their photo. He was obviously talking to just a photo but it still made him feel connected to the two people he lost.

”Do you know, now you have a little cousin? If you had been around, she'd be like your little sister. And I believe you would have loved her. She is just like you and yet she is not like you.”

”Xiao Zi, you're okay?”

Xin Zimen pinched the space between his eyes when he heard that question from Xin Kuan. He hurriedly put the photo down but Xin Kuan had already seen it. In fact, he didn't even have to hide it from Xin Kuan who already knew about his habit of talking to a photo. But he still always hid the photo as if it was something very private.

”I'm fine,” replied Xin Zimen. ”Just a little tired.” He looked at Xin Kuan and asked, ”Brother Kuan, where had you been?”

”As you told me to, I have been gathering the details of Xin Xiaoli's movements in the Wen Clan in the past years,” replied Xin Kuan.

”Oh,” responded Xin Zimen. ”Find anything interesting there?”

Xin Kuan nodded his head and said, ”Something very interesting.”

”What is it?” inquired Xin Zimen.

”Give me some time, I'll provide you a detailed report,” said Xin Kuan. ”Also, the movements within the Xin family are big right now. Everyone is feeling a crisis since the Head of the clan finally has an heir. The shares are being manipulated and power is being distributed.”

”That is not my concern,” replied Xin Zimen. ”Anyway, can you call Xiao Li for me?”

”He is not at home,” answered Xin Kuan.

”Where did he go?”

Before he could say that he didn't know, he received a call and excused himself. After he disconnected the call, he came back to Xin Zimen's side, ”Xin Xiaoli went back to check up on Liu Nuan.”

Xin Zimen frowned at that, ”Why didn't he take me with him?”

”Maybe because he something to talk to her that he doesn't want you to know,” said Xin Kuan.

”That makes sense,” agreed Xin Zimen before he stood up. ”Let's go then. Let me find out what is he up to right now.”

”We don't have to go,” said Xin Kuan. ”If we went, Xin Xiaoli would be cautious again.”

”Then?” Xin Zimen looked at Xin Kuan. ”What do you have in mind?”

Xin Kuan turned on Xin Zimen's laptop and after moving his fingers around for a while, he shifted the screen towards Xin Zimen, ”We can just breach into their security system.”

Xin Zimen looked at the security footage before him and looked at Xin Kuan, ”You! Was it child's play?”

”Don't forget, I grew up in Wen Clan. No one knows how they work better than me.”

Xin Zimen nodded his head in agreement. He shouldn't be surprised that Xin Kuan managed to hack into Wen Clan's security system so easily.

Just as Xiao Li appeared on the screen before him, Xin Zimen quietened up and attentively looked at the screen.
