Chapter 101: Those Who Dare to Come Will Be Slain

The fact that an organization could be this secretive was no small matter.

“Number Zero, looks like your lucky days are coming to an end,” Xiao Jun said with a grin, sounding almost gleeful.

Xia Yu shot him a glare, flicked away his cigarette butt in annoyance, and thought of Liu Xiaomi still waiting at the restaurant.

“Do everything you can to find out who they are. I’m going to pick up Xiaomi.”

Xiao Jun nodded. Watching Xia Yu leave, he actually felt a surge of excitement.

It had only been a brief clash, yet it brought back the days when the two of them had fought side by side in the northern frontier. It had been far too long. He missed it more than he could say.

On the way, Xia Yu still dared not let his guard down. His nerves remained taut.

After all, this was the greatest crisis he had faced since returning home, and his opponent had been an elite assassin.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened on the way back into the city. Only when that sense of danger pressing around him gradually faded did he finally ease up.

It seemed they did not want to reveal themselves and had not dared make another move.

When he returned to Starbucks, he saw Liu Xiaomi laughing and chatting with the woman, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Xiaomi, Daddy’s back.”

“Daddy!” Liu Xiaomi hurried over to him. “Are you done with your business?”

“Yeah. Sorry for leaving you here all by yourself,” Xia Yu said guiltily. “I’ll make it up to you properly next weekend.”

“Only now do you realize how dangerous it is to leave a child with just anyone?” the woman said with displeasure. “What if I really were a bad person and sold your daughter off? You’d have nowhere to cry.”

Xia Yu looked up at her and only then noticed that she was naturally beautiful, a true stunner. He gave an awkward laugh. “Thank you for helping.”

“I really had no choice. Besides, when I came in and took a look around, I saw that you were kindhearted and easy to trust, so I dared to leave Xiaomi with you. I’m truly grateful.”

Flattered by his praise, the woman actually seemed a little embarrassed.

“Whatever the case, don’t let something like this happen again. No matter how big the matter is, the child comes first.”

“Right, it won’t happen again, definitely. Thanks again. We should head home now.” Xia Yu nodded. “Xiaomi, say goodbye to your sister.”

“Goodbye, Sister.” Liu Xiaomi waved.

“Goodbye,” the woman said with a smile.

After they had left, she seemed to remember something and suddenly ran after them.

“Hey, wait.”

“What is it?” Xia Yu turned back, looking at her in confusion.

“This is your money. I can’t keep it.” She directly pressed the money Xia Yu had just given her back into his hand, exactly as it had been, then waved cheerfully. “Bye, Xiaomi. See you if fate allows.”

Xia Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed there really were good people in the world.

“Daddy, that sister is really nice. Why don’t you think about pursuing her?” Liu Xiaomi said teasingly.

“Mm?” Xia Yu scolded her with a laugh. “What nonsense are you spouting, little brat? Be careful Sister Sijie hears you. She’ll never forgive you.”

“Heeheehee...”

Tomorrow was Monday. In the end, Xia Yu first sent Liu Xiaomi to stay with Liu Hua, and only then returned to the villa.

At night, he lay on the rocking chair on the rooftop, holding a bottle of dark beer and his phone, staring at his father’s number.

After much hesitation, he still did not call.

Thinking back on what had happened lately, just as Xiao Jun had said, after being immersed in quiet for more than a year, it seemed he had truly been targeted.

Could today’s assassin and that Mia woman be connected?

At that thought, he used his phone to call Mia directly.

Soon, Mia’s voice came through, sweet and enticing. “Well, well, this is surprising. I thought Mr. Xia would never call me.”

“Could it be that you didn’t want to see me?” Xia Yu said with a wicked smile. “Beauty, how about we make a date?”

“How annoying. I don’t just go around dating anyone,” she cooed.

“But I want to see you. Name a time.”

Xia Yu felt he should take the initiative. He needed to find out as soon as possible where this woman really came from.

“Mm, what bad timing. I’m busy these next few days. Let’s wait until next time, Mr. Xia. Heeheehee...”

After speaking, she actually hung up first.

Xia Yu was momentarily stunned.

Was this woman playing hard to get with him?

She was not going to be easy to deal with either.

Just as he was thinking of a way forward, Zhao Sijie’s call came in. He answered quickly. “Sijie, off work already?”

“Mm, I just got home. Brother Yu, what are you doing?” Zhao Sijie said in a playful tone. “Miss me?”

“Of course. I was just afraid of disturbing your rest.” Xia Yu laughed.

“Pah, man!” she snorted, then said seriously, “By the way, Brother Yu, I need to tell you something.”

“When I got back just now, my mom said my uncle and the others are coming to the city tomorrow, and she wants me to go with her to the train station to pick them up. Are you free tomorrow?”

“Of course I am. I’ll ask my boss for leave and borrow his van to go pick them up.” Xia Yu agreed readily, after all, he was her boyfriend.

“Mm-hmm. They’ll probably arrive around noon. See you tomorrow.”

“Okay. Get some rest early.”

Xia Yu hung up and rose from the chair.

“No matter who you are, the King of the Northern Frontier is still the same king. If you dare come, I’ll dare kill.” With that, he cast all the doubts in his mind away.
