170 Ch. 170 What Do They Want?

Five years ago, Anxia and Ling Meng decided to hide temporarily on a remote island when Lori was three months old. Halfway through the cruise, Anxia saw the sea view above the deck while Ling Meng accompanied the sleeping Lori.

Anxia reached into a small box from her jacket pocket, opened it, and took out its contents. It contained a flat object no more than five centimeters in size―it was in a platinum color, with small black lines at the end of the thing.

‘Qiao Qiao, make sure it arrives at the main base safely. Don’t let anyone else take it.’

It was a critical memo from master Yu before the man returned to Hong Kong. Anxia also received an order not to look at the contents, and she complied. However, since she left and didn’t return because of her pregnancy, Anxia didn’t want to keep this thing. After all, she had already left the Hong Kong triad group, so she didn’t need to keep this chip anymore.

The problem was Anxia couldn’t hold back her curiosity. Why did master Yu keep the contents of this chip so secret? Why is Master Yu so afraid that other people will get their hands on this chip? Anxia decided to look at the file on the chip a few days ago.

As long as she could remember, Anxia believed what she found was the most shocking thing ever. She suddenly regretted that she had opened its contents―she regretted that her curiosity got the better of her.

Anxia realized that he would become a fugitive, not only from Master Yu but all criminals who wanted this content would chase her down to hell.

As a result, Anxia took Ling Meng to exile to a backcountry in Oceania. They would stay there until Lori could walk and speak fluently―they would start their new life. Anxia didn’t want any threats or enemies to come to Lori. Hence, she decided to throw the chip at sea.

Anxia put the flat platinum object back into the box; then she threw it with all her might into the ocean before finally sinking and vanishing.

.....

This way, no one would be able to find the chip, and no reason to hunt for it.

Alas, there was one big major problem―she even cursed herself for having a remarkable memory. Anxia still remembered what the chip contained... until now―Master Yu knew that the chip’s contents had moved in her head.

‘Someone else wants the contents of the chip’s data.’ Xuemin’s warning kept ringing even though Anxia was still sleeping. Facing Master Yu was already very tough and dangerous, but now someone else was after her.

At this rate, wouldn’t her family be in danger―her daughter, husband, and also.. her two in-laws, would be in trouble because of her.

How to stop the enemy from hunting her? How can Anxia keep her enemies from targeting her family?

Dead.

If she were to die, wouldn’t that mean that Master Yu and the others had no reason to hunt her?

Richard faithfully accompanied his wife, who was still unconscious in their room. Ultimately, they did not go to the hospital but returned to Kensington, where Stanley had summoned a private doctor and had arrived at the house.

With Richard’s help keeping Anxia’s body tilted, the doctor removed the bullet in Anxia’s right shoulder. Richard, Meisya, Michele, and Moni have cleaned the traces of blood. They all worked together to clean up the blood all over Anxia’s body and changed the girl’s clothes.

Their treatment was very gentle as if they feared they would hurt Anxia. Not to mention, several dark purple bruises all over Anxia’s back and legs made their heartache.

Richard’s expression darkened seeing all the injuries and Meisya knew that her eldest son was trying to hold back his emotions.

How can he not be angry?

While Richard managed to find the position of his wife’s phone, what he found was his wife’s phone lying on the ground. Richard was furious because he thought his wife had deliberately thrown away her phone so he couldn’t find her. Hadn’t Anxia promised not to hide anything from him? Didn’t that girl say she wouldn’t act alone without telling him?

Nonetheless, there was one thing that angered him the most, even more than he felt anger at his wife. Richard was furious with the people who had put this wound on his wife, and he wanted to hunt them down and get back at them in ways they could never have imagined.

But for now, he wanted to ensure his wife’s recovery. He wanted to be by Anxia’s side when she opened her eyes. Thus, he did not touch his laptop to discover what had happened and continued to accompany his wife.

After all, unbeknownst to him, Stanley and Raymond had already stepped in to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, the area where Richard found Anxia injured had very few cameras. While a place where no one is allowed to enter, there were no cameras showing images of that area.

Not long after, they heard that the police had found dozens of bodies in the restricted area, which made Stanley and Raymond suspicious. Stanley decided to hack into a satellite and use it to display events happening in the restricted area.

It didn’t take long for Stanley to get the footage captured by the satellite and transfer it to his program.

He saw it with Raymond, and instantly their expressions became tense as they saw Anxia being surrounded and beaten up by her assailants.

“Dad, why did they attack Anxia? And why did that guy who shot Anxia help Anxia in the end?”

“I have no idea. I believed he and Anxia knew each other, and that shooter never intended to harm Anxia.” Stanley guessed because he had already been told how Anxia pushed Michele and took the shot. “I think his real target is your wife, and Anxia protected her.”

Crash!

Stanley and Raymond immediately looked toward the source of the sound and saw broken glass scattered everywhere.

“Is that... true? I should have been the one who got shot, but Xiao Xia protected me?”
