Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: No Eligible Women in the Xu Family

Of course, Xu Ke understood, but it wasn’t suitable to speak now, so he could only listen to Wang Cuixia talk about how hard it has been all these years. In the end, Wang Cuixia lay on Xu Ke’s shoulder, and started to cry uncontrollably. It truly has been too difficult raising a child alone all these years.

Inside, Xu Hua felt even more uncomfortable, because of missing out back then, he had barely spoken with the Hu Family girl.

Not being able to recognize his loved one was one thing, but even his own flesh and blood resented him. What kind of situation was this?

After Xu Ke accompanied Wang Cuixia and talked for a while, Uncle Li came over. When he heard about what happened to Wang Cuixia, Uncle Li felt especially guilty. Had he not gone out back then, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. He regretted leaving.

"Miss, fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I would have felt guilty to death."

Wang Cuixia shook her head slightly, nobody could have predicted such a thing happening, so no one was to blame, and certainly not Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, don’t worry, I’m fine. This isn’t your fault, and regarding the accident, I’ve heard they’ve already started catching the person involved. I reckon they’ve caught him already. Let’s go take a look."

Then she turned to Xu Ke and said, "You should hurry back now, it’s late, and you have work tomorrow."

Wang Cuixia was very understanding of Xu Ke in this matter, and she didn’t want to delay him. Xu Ke originally wanted to accompany her, but seeing how insistent Wang Cuixia was, he had to drop his own plans.

In the end, the investigation revealed that the person had some mental illness and had been targeting Wang Cuixia for many days. It was likely premeditated.

But with Old Master Xu around, the person couldn’t possibly escape.

For a long period after that, there was no trace of Old Master Xu or Xu Hua again, as if they had suddenly disappeared from Changnan City, and despite Xu Ke’s deliberate inquiries, he heard nothing.

Fox saw his brother still inquiring and got a bit curious. Previously, the Boss told him to find a woman named Wang Cuixia. After finally finding her, he expected some reward, but now the Boss was focusing on someone else. Was this going to be harder than last time?

Last time, he confidently told Xu Ke that they were one of the top detective agencies in the country. However, Old Master Xu was faster than them, and by the time Old Master Xu had sent a message to the client, he had just located the person. This really damaged their reputation.

"Boss, it was Old Master Xu who found the person last time. Our reputation is already damaged by him. If we get our reputation damaged again, we might as well not continue. Plus, this time you’re stirring trouble for someone very powerful. We dare to touch anyone’s cake in this country, but not the Xu Family’s cake."

Fox smiled bitterly, who would stand up to the Xu Family when they are so prestigious? No one else would dare either. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t help his brother this time.

After hearing Fox, Xu Ke originally thought that adding some money to this mission would solve it, but Fox directly refused. It seemed Old Master Xu wasn’t as benevolent as he appeared.

"Alright, let’s drop it. I won’t put you on the spot. If I forced you, you wouldn’t be able to handle it anyway. I’ll figure out something myself."

Xu Ke said as he downed a glass of alcohol. Fox watched his brother, it didn’t seem like he was just looking for someone, but rather like someone who had experienced a breakup. What’s going on? There wasn’t any eligible lady from the Xu Family, was there?

Then, considering a possibility, Fox tentatively asked, "Boss, don’t tell me you’ve really taken a liking to a rich woman from the Xu Family? I advise you to give up. Rich women from the Xu Family hold high positions, and they’re backed by others too. If you’re not careful, you might lose your current position. We better be realistic."

Fox worried that his brother might do something foolish. Xu Ke rolled his eyes upon hearing Fox. Was he that kind of person? At least with his looks, he wouldn’t need to pursue anyone. People willing to chase him could circle Changnan City ten times.

"Alright, what nonsense are you thinking?"

Anyway, regarding his relationship with the Xu Family, Xu Ke didn’t plan to talk about it yet. He just needed someone found. Since they couldn’t find the person, there was no point wasting time here.

"Alright, I have something to do now. I’ll go first, but as for this matter, let’s just leave it. If there are any developments later, I’ll notify you immediately."

Fox watched as something troubled him deeply today, leaving him with no mood, so he let Xu Ke go. But he was anxious inside, not that they couldn’t find the person, but if the Xu Family discovered it, they might all have to face Xu Jia’s wrath.

Fox couldn’t understand, so he whispered as he walked, "What exactly is it? That made the Boss so anxious, and it’s just one person, unrelated to him. I really can’t figure it out, forget it, I should stop thinking about it."

His subordinates saw the Boss so puzzled they froze, initially prepared to report, but this apathy was too...

"Boss, what are you thinking?"

"Shoo, shoo, don’t disturb me. This is urgent!"

The subordinate felt frustrated too; his matter was indeed urgent, but the Boss resembled more of someone heartbroken than dealing with passion. Besides, no one saw the Boss liking someone.

"Boss, I suddenly saw Old Master Xu outside the city, but it seems Old Master Xu encountered some trouble, seemingly from the capital. There’s no way, because Old Master Xu has graced us, so I had our people save him. That shouldn’t be a problem!"

Acting without thinking, considering Old Master Xu’s status, they chose to help him immediately, but upon hearing about it, Fox snapped out of his thoughts, stomping in urgency. Was this subordinate out of his mind?

Old Master Xu was so formidable; how could he encounter trouble?

Fox pointed his finger at the subordinate’s forehead, "I think you don’t understand anything; could we handle forces that Old Master Xu offended? Any one of them is beyond us. You didn’t think it through. Now we should think about how to explain. If Old Master Xu doesn’t stand by us, we’re doomed this time."

The subordinate, hearing this, felt a jolt in his heart. If that’s the case, they might be in big trouble. What should they do now? They’ve already offended those people.

Moreover, Old Master Xu and his companions were injured, so they acted as if they were upholding justice, but it seems they had made a mistake.
