She didn't believe that Gu Beicheng chose to cooperate with Tang Jihuai on a temporary basis. The eldest lady had just disappeared, and the Gu family had already started to take action. This meant that the Gu family and Gu Beicheng had long thought of annexing the Tang family.
Even darker, Chen Xiaoxiao even suspected that Gu Beicheng entered the Tang Group to get close to the eldest lady for the purpose of seeking family fortune. Unfortunately, his wishful thinking came to nothing because the eldest lady married Xu Tian first.
Now, as soon as the eldest lady disappeared, he revealed his true greedy face. After seeing Gu Beicheng clearly, Chen Xiaoxiao realized belatedly that Xu Tian was sincere to his eldest lady.
When Chen Xiaoxiao thought about the stupid things she had done against Xu Tian before, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"I didn't keep you here to settle a score with you, but..."
As soon as Xu Tian opened his mouth, Chen Xiaoxiao understood what he meant.
"Mr. Xu, do you want to ask me about what I said in the dungeon just now?"
"That's right." Xu Tian nodded.
"I heard Qingqing say that they are the subordinates of the Shadow Master, and they obey your orders and live with you in a villa on the outskirts of Jiangcheng. So I guessed that you were pretending to be the Shadow Master again."
Because Chen Xiaoxiao, Tang Bingyan and others had encountered an ambush by professional killers when they were on a business trip to the Lighthouse Country. At that time, Xu Tian led a dozen Tang family secret guards to pretend to be members of the Shadows in order to rescue them.
So when she heard Qingqing and others say that she was the shadow master's subordinate, she figured out the key.
"And just now in Canglang Hall, those people seemed to be taking orders from Mr. Xu, so I guessed that you pretended to be the leader of Canglang Hall, Wolf King, for some reason."
"But the person named Zhong Ling was obviously doubting your identity and trying to find flaws in you, so I made up that excuse."
"I see."
Xu Tian nodded. Although Chen Xiaoxiao was sometimes too paranoid, he was not a fool to be able to sit in the position of commander of the Tang family's secret guards.
If it weren't for Chen Xiaoxiao's words, he, Feng Wu and others would probably have died by Zhong Ling's knife at this moment.
"Mr. Xu, no matter what, you are now the Wolf King, the leader of Canglang Palace. I have a request. I hope you can let me stay on Wuji Island to work for you."
Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Tian.
There are too many sad things in that place in China, and now that Tang Bingyan's whereabouts are unknown, she has no reason to stay there.
Xu Tian did not speak immediately.
There is no harm to him in keeping Chen Xiaoxiao.
Based on his understanding of this woman, she would never do anything duplicitous, so he was not worried that the other party would expose his identity.
The most important thing is that Chen Xiaoxiao can help him find the whereabouts of Tang Bingyan. Anything that is inconvenient for him to do can be left to Chen Xiaoxiao.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Tian spoke again.
"You first find a place to stay with Wu Qing, A Biao and the others, and then I will arrange tasks for you."
"Before this, you must never mention Shadow again, and you can never call me 'Shadow Master' or 'Boss' again."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu!" Chen Xiaoxiao was very grateful, "I will tell them when I go back!"
Xu Tian waved his hand and asked Chen Xiaoxiao to leave.
After Chen Xiaoxiao left, the office became quiet again.
Just when Xu Tian was thinking about his future plans, there was suddenly a rustling sound at the door.
Before he could get up, a huge object knocked open the half-opened office door.
It's the white wolf named Shenlong.
After the white wolf came in, he went straight to Xu Tian and rubbed against his feet. His appearance did not look like a ferocious beast at all, but more like a large domestic wolf dog.
Xu Tian was originally very afraid of this beast, but seeing that it was indeed not hostile to him, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
"Lord Wolf King!"
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, an older man stormed into the office and spoke hurriedly before Xu Tian could speak.
"No, Yue Moli is here! And I want to see you too!"
"Sir, do you want to see her?"
Except for Jiang Chuan, no one else in Canglang Palace knew about the relationship between the Wolf King and Yue Moli, so this older man was so nervous when he saw Yue Moli.
"It's okay, let her in." Xu Tian waved to the other party.
Yue Moli wanted to see him, but he couldn't refuse just by saying he didn't want to see him.
Moreover, he also had questions to ask her.
Since this woman already knew her identity, why didn't she expose him? She even brought A Biao, Chen Xiaoxiao and others back to Wuji Island from Jiangcheng?
Hearing Xu Tian's words, the older man's face was obviously reluctant, but he would not go against Xu Tian's wishes and turned around and walked out of the office without saying anything else.
A few minutes later, a long-haired woman wearing a light pink sports suit walked into Xu Tian's office with a smile on her face.
This woman has always been like this, no matter in appearance or dress, she gives people a very bright and sunny feeling.
However, only those who truly understand her or have seen her methods can deeply understand how terrifying her nature is hidden beneath her brilliant appearance.
Just after Yue Moli walked in, another huge thing emerged from behind her, a snow-white lion.
The more Xu Tian looked at this lion, the more familiar it seemed.
Wait... isn't this Qingxue raised by Tang Bingyan?
Qingxue poked her head and looked at the furnishings in the office until she saw Xu Tian and rushed over.
"Ouch!"
The white wolf that was originally crawling at Xu Tian's feet let out a ferocious roar and stared at Qingxue vigilantly as if guarding food to prevent it from getting close.
"You raised this snow lion, right?"
Yue Moli narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the two behemoths confronting each other.
Xu Tian remained silent.
In order to make the little guy happy, he took Qingxue to a villa in the countryside to keep Yun Moting company. Not long after Yun Moting left, Tang Bingyan's whereabouts were unknown, so Qingxue remained in the villa without anyone to look after her.
Xu Tian didn't expect that Yue Moli would bring Qingxue back to Wuji Island.
"You should have discovered..."
Xu Tian took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he simply had a showdown with the woman opposite.
"What did you find?" Yue Moli blinked in confusion, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xu Tian's words, "It turns out that you have been living in China during the time you disappeared. The water and soil there are very nourishing. No wonder you left.
It’s been so long and I don’t want to come back.”
"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt when you came back, so I invited the friends you met in China over. Would you mind if I made such a conscious suggestion?"
Xu Tian was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer the question.
What does Yue Moli mean by these words? Does she really not know her identity or is she deliberately testing her?
Or maybe Yue Moli didn't doubt him at all, but was just investigating who he had contact with when he was in China?
