Chapter 916: Chapter 916: The Basement in Old He’s House

Old Wang laughed as he spoke, a face full of happiness, feeling like the happiest person in the world.

Chen Ming was about to puke.

He thought to himself, if it weren’t for the incident with Feng Sheng, you wouldn’t even be involved.

Old Wang didn’t care what he thought, flipped through the calendar, and said, "After the wedding tomorrow, Xichen and Anxi are going to Jiangcheng. Chen Ming, follow them to Jiangcheng and protect them secretly, without letting anyone find out."

Chen Ming immediately understood: "Yes."

King Jingyao lit another cigarette, looked at Chen Ming: "After this, the Jiang Family can’t be kept around."

Chen Ming’s eyes darkened.

Old Wang looked at him: "Fortunately, you and Xiao Jiang are not involved, or else dealing with it would have been difficult."

Chen Ming felt uneasy and argued, "Mr. Wang, I was just comforting her."

King Jingyao looked at him, smiled: "Feeling sorry for the fairer sex, huh? Got into big trouble, huh? I think Little Song is better than Xiao Jiang, with a bigger temper, but suitable for pampering at home. Xiao Jiang is too cunning, suited for business."

Chen Ming fell silent again. As he walked out, Secretary Zhou congratulated him: "Captain Chen, you have really won Mr. Wang’s favor. To rise so quickly at such a young age, it’s impressive."

Chen Ming put on his hat and said lightly: "It’s nothing, just serving Mr. Wang."

Secretary Zhou nodded: "That’s right."

He added: "Tomorrow is the main event; this wedding is being watched by Beicheng and even the world."

Speaking of this, Chen Ming was a bit confused, casually asked: "Has Mr. Wang reconciled with Anxi? I see Xichen and Anxi as the best man and maid of honor."

Secretary Zhou chuckled: "How could they just reconcile? Those two are so stubborn. This was Miss Lin’s idea, and she’s doted on by Mr. Wang now. Whatever she says goes."

Chen Ming chuckled: "Mr. Wang has taken a detour."

Secretary Zhou leaned in, whispered: "For this, we have to thank Professor Bo and Little Gu. If the Bo Family hadn’t been supportive, and if Dr. Jiang had really secured the project, even if Mr. Wang disliked it, he would have had to step in."

Chen Ming patted Secretary Zhou: "You’re bold to say that, or else Mr. Wang might send you to Africa."

Secretary Zhou gave a mysterious smile, with a knowing look.

Chen Ming said goodbye to him, went to find Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi, bringing along a hotel map.

Mr. Wang’s wedding was naturally grand, chosen to be held at the largest hotel in Beicheng, under Cloud He Group.

The security was handled by Bo Xichen. Chen Ming came to confirm things. The three of them picked a place to eat. After eating, the two men started discussing; Gu Anxi wasn’t interested, curled up on the sofa playing games. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After discussing for about two hours, Chen Ming was satisfied and put the information away, inviting them to the shooting range.

Gu Anxi looked up: "Ah, not going today."

Bo Xichen smiled slightly.

Chen Ming was confused: "There’s nothing else going on, why not?"

Gu Anxi stretched, "A bit tired, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

Chen Ming thought about it, nodded: "True, tomorrow is a big day, might have to get up by five."

Gu Anxi patted his shoulder: "Be careful tomorrow."

Chen Ming chuckled: "Will do. With such good security on site, nothing will happen."

Just as he finished speaking, his eyelids twitched, and he rubbed his eyes, "My eyelids are twitching, better burn some incense when I get back."

Gu Anxi laughed.

After parting with Chen Ming, she and Bo Xichen got into a car together. As Bo Xichen fastened his seatbelt, he asked her: "Heading to Si Garden?"

Gu Anxi hmm’d, said nothing more, just turned her head to watch the night outside.

The car drove smoothly for a while, and she finally said: "Uncle, I..."

Just as she was about to say something, she looked at the scenery outside the window, turned her head, "Do you know what I’m thinking?"

Bo Xichen chuckled softly, focused on the road, and then in a hoarse voice, spoke: "Of course, I know."

She said nothing, just stared intently at him.

Bo Xichen chuckled again: "If you keep looking at me that way, I’m afraid I won’t be able to concentrate on driving. Do you want me to pull over?"

Gu Anxi was a bit annoyed: "Uncle, I’m rarely this sentimental."

"Oh?" Bo Xichen smiled: "Thankfully, Little Gu is with me. Most of the time you’re happy."

She glared at him, feeling bullied again by him.

Ahead was a red light. He stopped, turned his head, and said gently, "I’ll strive to make you happier in the future. Starting today, okay?"

Gu Anxi: Does Professor Bo have any shame?

Although her mood was much better, the closer they got, her heart began to race.

After that incident, she had only been there once, and it was running into Zhou Yunchen.

Usually, it was Mother Bo who took care of things. She didn’t know if the teacher’s wife hated her, so she hadn’t gone.

She was about to head to Jiangcheng, likely wouldn’t have many chances to return, and Gu Anxi wanted to see this elderly person.

The red Ferrari drove into the old, quiet villa, and slowly stopped.

This house was originally just peaceful, now it was even quieter.

Bo Xichen parked the car. Gu Anxi jumped out from the other side, saying, "How come there’s no one here?"

Old He was once quite famous, and the family was very grand. Though perhaps not a sea of servants, there were usually seven or eight staff; yet now, no one was in sight.

Bo Xichen held her hand, "Let’s go see."

Gu Anxi followed him inside. The hall was still quiet. They stood for a moment before someone came out from inside.

Gu Anxi looked up, her heart trembled: "Teacher’s wife."

Old He’s wife, surnamed Ruan, was usually called Aunt Ruan by Gu Anxi, but now she blurted out ’Teacher’s wife’.

Mrs. He quietly looked at her. Gu Anxi felt guilty, didn’t dare speak.

But Bo Xichen spoke to the elder: "Anxi wanted to see Old He, is it convenient, Aunt Ruan?"

Aunt Ruan’s eyes fell on Gu Anxi again, after a moment, she said, "Come, I have something to show you."

Gu Anxi and Bo Xichen exchanged glances as Aunt Ruan slowly opened a door and walked inside.

It turned out to be a passage to a basement, somewhat cold. Gu Anxi wrapped her arms around herself.

Uncle Bo Draped a coat over her, his voice gentle: "Put it on."

She responded softly, feeling much warmer after putting on the coat.

Aunt Ruan reached the end, in front of them was an iron door. She turned, looked at Gu Anxi, and pushed it open.

Gu Anxi glanced again at Uncle Bo. The two of them walked inside together.

Once inside, even Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi were stunned.
