Imperfect Desires

Chapter 892 - Who Pulled Him Down

"Ah-Xin!"

"Hm?"

"Did Jinhai woke up?"

Xin Zimen paused in whatever he was about to do and gave his attention to Xiu before shaking his head with a heavy sigh. "His condition doesn't seem very optimistic."

Xiu pressed her lips together but didn't continue asking about this. Besides, at this time, the door was pushed open and Xin Kuan came inside panting as if he ran over.

"Brother Kuan, no one is after you. Stop running," said Xin Zimen oddly.

Xin Kuan didn't pay attention to his words and pushed a file into Xiu's hands. Xiu looked at the file then she looked at Xin Kuan's dark expressions. For some reason, she found it amusing that he seemed to be to blow up and they didn't even touch the tip of the iceberg yet. Or in this case, this long-rooted conspiracy.

While she skimmed through the content of the file, she said, "Didn't Uncle Kuan say he will need some time?"

Xin Kuan drank some water to calm himself before telling her, "You should say thanks to your brother. He provided with enough resources to get it done as soon as possible."

Xiu smiled to herself and as she felt Xin Zimen coming to her side, she closed the file in her hand. Obviously, she was trying to hide this stuff from him and even he could see it.

"Can't you even let me see it?"

Xiu shook her head, "Not for now."

Xin Zimen sighed out, "Brother Kuan, what is she up to?"

"You stay out of it for now," replied Xin Kuan startling Xin Zimen.

"What did you do?" The question was directed to Xiu. "How did you pull my Brother Kuan into your camp in just one day?"

"Don't you say I have charms? I might have used some on him," Xiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She drank the tea before her in one go and placed the cup down. Then collecting her stuff, she went up to Xin Kuan, "Let's go, Uncle Kuan."

"Where are you both going now?"

"To have some fun," answered Xiu with a grin.

"I want to have some fun as well."

"It's not time for you to join this fun yet."

Xin Zimen watched them leaving and felt particularly distressed. For some reason, his heart was feeling uneasy now. Although he was reassured that Xiu'd be safe with Xin Kuan around, he still felt like something was about to happen. Because he could tell Xiu was on to something and it wasn't a simple matter either.

Not having the situation under his control really made him want to beat someone up!

Meanwhile, as soon as Xiu stepped out the door of the Suite, the particularly eye-catching grin could no longer be seen. Seeing this, Xin Kuan commented, "People like you are really dangerous."

"Why would you say that Uncle Kuan?"

"Xiao Zi keeps a stern look on his face which makes people feel cautious and guarded against him. However, people like you always keep a smile on their faces. You know how to make someone let down their guard before striking. Behind the smile, one can't even imagine what storm is brewing."

Xiu's lips tilted up slightly, "Let this storm rage like this. Because this storm is about to raze everything."

Xin Kuan was actually taken aback when he first looked through the information provided by Xiu. But what shocked him, even more, was the fact that the closer they got to the truth, the more Xiu's speculations turned out to be the truth. He didn't know how she did it but she certainly seemed like someone who knew more than necessary.

And this girl didn't even want to sit down and watch everything. His job was to get the information she asked for and then, she'll follow him around to confirm things. For the next whole week, Xiu had been really busy with Xin Kuan.

And she also felt like she needed to say thanks to Xiao Li just as Xin Kuan had told her. After all, if it wasn't for Wen Clan's network, they couldn't found the things that happened over 40 years ago. The matters were deeply hidden and couldn't possibly find the truth easily.

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."
