The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 302's objective is the entire Li family.

Chapter 302's objective is the entire Li family.

These words were extremely disrespectful. The maids present could even guess how angry Old Master Li would be if they heard Mu Xiaoyu say this.

However, they have no time to worry about what's going on at the Li family's old house. They are here at the villa, and the person who needs to listen is Mu Xiaoyu.

So in the end, even though all the maids in the villa were trained by the butler himself, they didn't care what they did for him. They obediently sent the butler back and relayed Mu Xiaoyu's words.

"What did the old man say?"

Mu Xiaoyu, busy with her manuscript, asked without looking up.

"Master... was very angry, his face turned pale."

The maid answered honestly that if she hadn't run fast, she might have been beaten up by now. Recalling the scene, she still felt a chill of fear.

Mu Xiaoyu smiled again upon hearing this, feeling extremely happy.

Looking back on her attempt to curry favor with the Li family, she felt incredibly foolish. Had she lost her mind or been bewitched to even think of trying to ingratiate herself with them?

Those people treated her like a grain of sand, so lowly that she was nothing more than dust. No matter how much she tried to please them, they always acted superior. Just thinking about it made Mu Xiaoyu feel disgusted.

She's someone who's died countless times. Since the Li family is always looking for trouble with her, then she shouldn't blame them for being impolite to her!

Perhaps because the cooperation with the government had been finalized, Li Chenxu returned home much earlier than usual that evening.

However, he was clearly not in a good mood when he returned this time. Mu Xiaoyu had just had a dispute with the Li family today, and seeing Li Chenxu's unpleasant expression, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it because... I talked back to the people from the old house today, so you're unhappy?"

Mu Xiaoyu's tone wasn't cautious, just somewhat serious.

Li Chenxu seemed to be thinking about something when he suddenly heard Mu Xiaoyu's words and was immediately stunned: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? How could I be angry with you over these things? Besides, I've looked into what happened today. It was my father who wanted to cause you trouble, and what you did in the end wasn't wrong."

"Then why are you unhappy?"

Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again.

This time, Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately. He glanced at Mu Xiaoyu, and his already furrowed brows tightened even more at this moment: "Mu Pengzheng has a lead."

"Any clues?"

Mu Xiaoyu was just about to be happy, but when she saw Li Chenxu's calm expression, her smile immediately vanished: "Have you run into some trouble?"

Li Chenxu nodded: "We thought Mu Pengzheng's matter was just simple revenge, but now it seems that it is not so simple. There are too many things involved. Apart from the fact that Mu Pengzheng's target was Auntie, their bigger goal is our entire Li family."

Li Chenxu's words stirred up a storm in Mu Xiaoyu's heart. Although she didn't know much about the affairs between these wealthy and powerful families, she was very clear about the Li family's status in the capital or even the whole country.

The culprit behind this wants to target the Li family, and judging from Li Chenxu's furrowed brows, it's clear that the other party's identity is causing him some trouble.

"Brother Shenxu, who is the person who is cooperating with Mu Pengzheng?"

"The investigation is not yet complete, but based on the current clues, the Ge family is definitely involved, and the person supporting the Ge family is someone with a red identity."

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless. She had never thought that Mu Pengzheng's matter was simple, but now the complexity of the matter far exceeded her imagination.

He was a person with a "red" identity, and judging from his appearance, his status was definitely not low. In that case, it's no wonder that Mu Pengzheng was so relaxed when he escaped from prison.

But if that's the case, what is the other party's purpose in doing so?

Although Mu Xiaoyu disliked the Li family, she knew that they were very careful in their dealings with others and had almost no troublesome enemies before.

Why exactly did they target the Li family?

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out, and her eyes grew increasingly puzzled as she looked at Li Chenxu.

Seeing her like this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but sigh. He gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's hair and said, "We haven't found out exactly who it is yet, and it will probably be much harder to find them later. More importantly..."

At this point, Li Chenxu seemed to remember something, and his expression became even more serious: "More importantly, now that this background has been involved, we can no longer ask Bai Ye for help."

"Are you suspecting that Bai Ye was also involved?"

Li Chenxu shook his head. He had never doubted Bai Ye. However, as he had just said, since this matter involved background information, and Bai Ye was a government official, it was naturally inappropriate for him to get involved.

If they're lucky, they'll find the person without any trouble.

If they're unlucky and fail to find the person, and something else happens instead, it will implicate Bai Ye, or even the entire Bai family.

Bai Ye had helped him a lot during this time. Although Li Chenxu was ruthless, he wouldn't implicate innocent people. So now, it was indeed not appropriate to ask Bai Ye for help anymore.

After hearing Li Chenxu's explanation, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if a stone was pressing down on her heart. The happy mood she had felt at the Li family's old house had completely vanished because of Li Chenxu's words upon his return.

She rested her head against Li Chenxu's chest and said in a muffled voice, "I thought that once we caught Mu Pengzheng, everything would be over, but now the truth is that catching Mu Pengzheng was just the beginning."

Mu Xiaoyu had died many times before, and by now, she had become quite indifferent to life and death. Her only worry was Li Chenxu; she had originally planned to deal with the people at the Li family's old mansion.

But now, it's not possible.

Since the culprit behind this wants to target the entire Li family, Li Chenxu must protect the members of the Li family.

At this critical juncture, if she causes trouble for Li Chenxu because of her conflict with the Li family, it will be disastrous.

Even if Li Chenxu didn't blame her, she would blame herself.
