With reluctance, Xinghe nodded and allowed herself to be led back to the bed.
Mubai helped her get into the bed and tucked her in.
“Clear your mind for now and sleep. Sweet dreams,” he whispered.
Xinghe nodded and shut her eyes. Very soon, her breathing became more and more rhythmic…
Mubai sat beside her bed, studying her profile. After he was certain she was asleep, he leaned in and
gave her a light peck on her forehead. Then, he moved away. Heid his eyes onest time on her
sleeping face before getting up lightly. He left and closed the door behind him.
Unknown to him, the moment the door clicked shut, her eyes opened. She was still awake when Mubai
leaned in to give her a goodnight kiss. This was the second kiss she received from him that day and
her feelings wereplicated. She knew perfectly well how Mubai felt about her but she was unsure
whether she reciprocated those feelings or not. She couldn’t say for a fact that she loved him but it was
true that she was no longer averse to his romantic advances.
Her mind was clouded because it was not her habit to concentrate on things like romantic rtionship
and feelings. She was unsure how to react towards Mubai’s active pursuit because she too had no idea
how she really felt. She was willing to give everything for the person she loved but it was hard to tell
whether Xi Mubai belonged in that category of people or not…
Either way, it was not yet time to deal with questions like those, at least not until the threat of the Feng
family had been resolved. Xinghe sighed and went to sleep.
Xinghe had a long sleep. No one came to disturb her so she had no clue that the atmosphere within the
Xi family had gotten increasingly strained. Munan’s predicament had turned into a colossal disaster. All
the collected evidence pointed towards him. He was the biggest suspect. Even his father Xi Jiangnan
who was Hwa Xia’s senior military official was also implicated.
If this charge of illegal profiteering of military munitions was pinned on Munan, the whole Xi Family
would be dragged into the investigation and that included Mubai.
Even though Mubai wasn’t part of the military, but business elite, he would also be implicated.
In recent few years, Mubai’spany had an exponential growth. Rumors were saying the source of
hispany assets actually came from a suspicious background. So, almost every day hispany
and ounts were crawling with federal investigators.
Mubai was not afraid of these allegations because they were unfounded but being framed and
backstabbed by his business partners-cumpetitors was a bit hard to swallow. The whole Xi family
was furious.
Elder Xi had to reach out for aid. Only with his personal involvement could the Xi family get some
breathing space. This meant that leadership of the Xi family had temporarily fallen to Mubai’s father, Xi
Jiangsan.
Mubai, for his part, had mobilized his men to locate the missing munitions. Currently, only with the
restoration of the munitions and capture of the traitor could the Xi family’s name be cleared, or the Xi
Family would fall before this hurdle.
If Munan was indicted with this charge, the Xi family could topple overnight. In the world of politics,
there was nosting winner. One day you might be at the top but the next you would be at the bottom.
One careless mistake and there would be a whole line of people waiting for you to fail, to add insult to
injury. The world was a cruel ce, one had to step on other people’s corpses to rise to the top.
Therefore, when people heard the news regarding Xi Family, they were already prepared to usurp the
throne.
When approached, they promised verbally to lend the Xi family aid, but those were nothing more than
empty promises..
