The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 288 Tell me tonight, okay?

Chapter 288 Tell me tonight, okay?

Mu Xiaoyu had already said so much, and it didn't seem like anything was wrong, so Li Chenxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She put her arm around Mu Xiaoyu's slender waist, kissed her forehead, and then said, "I'll go first then. Call me if anything happens. And... even if you don't get involved, it won't make any difference if you want to know. I don't want you to keep everything bottled up inside, you know?"

Mu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this; she had truly come to a decision. She really didn't want to go through this again.

She believed that Li Chenxu had the ability to find out everything and protect them properly.

Since that's the case, there's no need for her to cause trouble for Li Chenxu.

Anyway, as long as the final result is good, that's enough.

There are some things that don't need to be said between two people, so seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod, Li Chenxu didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, as if something suddenly rang, she quickly turned back. The next second, she heard Li Chenxu lower his voice and whisper in Mu Xiaoyu's ear, "When we were at the sanatorium, you said you had something to tell me. I hope that when I come back tonight, you will tell me what you didn't tell me at the sanatorium, okay?"

Li Chenxu's tone was far too gentle. His voice was already pleasant to listen to, but when he spoke with such tenderness and almost overflowing affection, Mu Xiaoyu could confidently guarantee that no woman could bear it.

Seriously, that was so exciting!

Mu Xiaoyu felt her legs were a little weak, but she finally nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll tell you when you get back tonight."

Only after receiving Mu Xiaoyu's assurance did Li Chenxu leave satisfied.

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Li Chenxu left. She felt that her life was probably over. As her feelings for Li Chenxu deepened, she could no longer bear either his voice or his face, which she considered perfect and flawless.

If Li Chenxu is being serious, she can probably handle it. But if he deliberately tries to seduce her, she might really bleed to death.

Thinking of that scene, Mu Xiaoyu felt both helpless and amused.

She couldn't help but shake her head, forcing herself not to think about it anymore.

Mu Xiaoyu and the others didn't tell Bai Ye about her injury, but Song Yin noticed something was wrong when she didn't contact any of her friends during her recovery period, and Bai Luo naturally did too.

So, to avoid causing them too much worry, Mu Xiaoyu tidied up her work things a bit and went to meet Bai Luo and the others.

Meanwhile, Li Chenxu, who had gone to the company, was meeting with Bai Ye in the conference room.

This case involving Mu Pengzheng is clearly more difficult than the previous ones. Bai Ye clearly didn't get enough rest. When he saw Li Chenxu, there were heavy shadows under his eyes, and his complexion didn't look good either.

Even Li Chenxu was somewhat surprised to see Bai Ye like this.

"What happened to Mr. Bai? How did you end up looking like this?"

The two were rivals in love, and Li Chenxu couldn't resist taking every opportunity to ridicule Bai Ye.

Moreover, compared to Bai Ye's appearance, Li Chenxu had been resting well by Mu Xiaoyu's side these past few days. When he went out, Mu Xiaoyu even helped him tidy up, taking care of his clothes and hair.

Full of energy and spirit, the difference in their abilities and strengths was obvious at this moment compared to Bai Ye.

Fortunately, Bai Ye was really tired at the moment and didn't have time to argue with Li Chenxu. After entering the office, he sat down on the sofa without any politeness, and then looked up at Li Chenxu and said in a low voice, "Liang Fei and Liang Qiao did not cooperate with Mu Pengzheng voluntarily. They were threatened by Mu Pengzheng and the person behind Mu Pengzheng."

This could be considered one of the clues, but Bai Ye's tone was anything but cheerful. They had been busy for over a week, only to get this little bit of information out of those few people; how could they possibly be happy?

Like Li Chenxu, Bai Ye has been an exceptionally outstanding individual since childhood. From joining the military to later working in the police force, he has completed every task he has undertaken with unparalleled perfection.

But this case has brought him to a standstill.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu showed no surprise. He didn't even glance at Bai Ye before walking to his office chair and sitting down.

He placed his hands on his strong, muscular thighs and tapped them lightly, seemingly lost in thought. He tilted his head slightly and stared at Bai Ye for a while before speaking, "I had already guessed this, Mr. Bai, so don't be discouraged. Mu Pengzheng and the others have been preparing for this for several years, so it's not going to be easy for us to resolve this matter in a short time."

Having said that, Li Chenxu saw the obvious surprise on Bai Ye's face, smiled slightly, and continued, "Don't be surprised. I'm not trying to comfort you; I'm just telling the truth. What I'm about to say will hopefully be helpful to this case."

After speaking, Li Chenxu opened the drawer of his desk, took out a thick file bag, and placed it on the table. He continued, "These are the people who had contact with Mu Pengzheng before his identity was exposed. They also contain information about the Ge family's activities over the past year. After all, the Ge family's sphere of influence is overseas, and our Li family's capabilities are limited overseas, so there are some things we can't understand clearly. The rest will depend on Mr. Bai and your help."

From the moment Ge Yun returned to China and made contact with them, Li Chenxu had already ordered his men to investigate Ge Yun and the Ge family.

Now that so much time has passed, things are starting to look promising.

If Mu Pengzheng's matter is indeed related to the Ge family, then without a doubt, the next people to target them will be the Ge family.

This is Li Chenxu's territory, but sometimes, spies can infiltrate anywhere. Just to be on the safe side, Li Chenxu doesn't say things too explicitly.

Moreover, Bai Ye is a smart man. After hearing these words and seeing the contents of the file bag, he will understand the meaning behind what he just said.

Bai Ye didn't speak, his deep gaze sweeping over the file folder on the table. He then stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up the folder. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and took only a few steps before suddenly stopping.

"There's something I forgot to tell you. When we interrogated Mu Pengzheng yesterday, he told us that someone else is planning to target you, and it'll be in the next few days."
