Chapter 892 - Who Pulled Him Down (2/2)

However, the people from the Wen Clan made everything seem really easy. They had such a deep-rooted and highly concealed network around the whole country that it was appalling. If it had been a piece of information over the internet, it would have been easier for Bo Jiu but since 40 years ago, technology wasn't as developed, it was a tiring job.

A lot of paper information could be lost in time. And yet, the Wen Clan managed to dig up everything she asked for. It was like as long as they had instructions, they would be able to collect anything for her.

By the time everything started sorting out before her eyes, Xiu was left in a heavy mood. Staring at her face even Xin Kuan could tell that she was in a bad mood. But he couldn't blame her either. He still couldn't believe what they had found in the last week.

The way he looked at Xiu had changed dramatically. Earlier, he only respected her for being dear to Xin Zimen and he also found her a little dangerous. But now, he seemed to have found admiration for her. She had managed to uncover the truth of the matter that had plagued the whole Xin Family for years.

”Uncle Kuan, I heard the Xin Family members are gathering in the main house for dinner tonight?”

”That's the information I received as well,” replied Xin Kuan. ”What do you have in mind?”

Xiu rubbed her temples, ”Nothing much. I think it's about time I go back to my husband.”

”You're in a hurry to go back to your husband?”

”Why else do you think I've been running around for days now? Obviously, it's to go back home as soon as possible.” Xin Kuan shook his head at her and she looked displeased seeing that. ”Uncle, you don't have a wife, right?”

”No, I don't have one.”

Xiu tsked, ”No wonder you're such a boring person.”

Xin Kuan stared at her in disbelief while she didn't pay him any more attention. ”Tonight is good. If we are gonna disclose everything, it's better to tear everyone's masks all at once!” She took a pause, ”I'm a little nervous.”

”Why do you look a little too excited to me though?”

Xiu tried to hide the twinkle in her eyes saying, ”What are you saying? I'm really nervous.”

”I've come to understand something about you in the past week.” Xiu looked at him waiting to hear what he had to say. ”Your words can't be trusted.”

Xiu shrugged her shoulders, ”Well, I never said I am a trustful person.” She went to her bedroom saying, ”Wait for me here! I'm gonna wear my armor for tonight's battle.”

”Armor?” repeated Xin Kaun with a frown.

However, when he saw her in that gorgeous white gown he really didn't know what to say. Xiu had given him so many surprises recently that he didn't even feel surprised anymore. How her brain worked was truly a mystery to him. But it was a mystery he wasn't really keen on solving.

”Uncle, how do I look in my battle gown?” she even twirled around for him to see.

”Stop moving, you're scaring me. Can you stop forgetting that you're pregnant?” He took a pause and added, ”And I still think you shouldn't get involved in person. No matter how many countermeasures we take, it can't be enough. Life is unpredictable. You shouldn't take risk with your life.”

”Just because I'm calling it a battle gown, doesn't mean I'm really joining the battle. Don't worry. I know what I can or can't do. For instance, if anything goes wrong, you solve it. I'll just stand at the top and watch the show. That's all.”

Xin Kaun was still feeling anxious. He couldn't take her life as a joke like she was doing it. So, he made sure to go out and check out with the security teams all over again.

”Sister Xiu, you're looking gorgeous,” complimented Han Bohai as soon as his eyes fell on Xiu's figure.

”Right?” repeated Xiu. ”I also think white is still my color. I really like it.”

Han Bohai smiled a little at that. Indeed white used to be her color. She looked like an angel in it. A real angel that descended from heaven. But tonight, she was looking different. White was still as gorgeous on her as ever. But this time, the color white had its own charm on her.

”Are you sure, you'll be okay there?” he asked.

”What can happen to me?” retorted Xiu. ”I just want my dear fathers to know how badly they had been played all their lives. I feel bad for both of them. I need to do this.”

”You can do it differently as well,” reminded Han Bohai.

”But how would that be fun now? Besides, my dear grandfather should take a good look at who pulled him down from his high horse.”
