an authentic relic.However, among this group of stylishly dressed women, this simple girl stood out like a crane among chickens. Her entire body exuded a fresh and genuine aura that unconsciously drew...Chapter 1109: I Hate the Countryside

"Husband, it's not necessarily targeted at you." Ye Mengying comforted Xia Tian softly. "My second uncle and aunt have always believed that I was responsible for the deaths of Ye Shaojie and Ye Mengyun. Since I'm now in charge of the Ye family assets, they've hated me to the bone long ago, so it's not surprising that this time they want to take revenge by taking my life."

After a slight pause, Ye Mengying added: "Even if it wasn't them wanting to take my life, it could also be someone else. You know how competitive both Tiansouth Group and our Divine Physician Group are these days. Especially the Divine Physician Group; although only several months old, many companies have seen their market share drastically shrink due to its emergence, with some even on the brink of bankruptcy. They might want to take revenge against me."

"But this time it's another bomb. I feel like it could be the same group that wanted to blow up Xiao Ya before," Xia Tian said with a frown.

“Even if they are, it doesn't matter. Next time I'll be more careful and won't give them an opportunity.” Although Ye Mengying had just gone through a life-or-death crisis, she remained calm, perhaps because she knew her husband would come to rescue her. When she woke up and saw Xia Tian, she wasn’t surprised at all; for her, what happened was no different from dealing with minor issues.

"There won't be a next time. This time I must find out who's behind this," said Xia Tian, unable to tolerate his wife being attacked repeatedly.

“Alright then, aren’t you having people look into it right now Let’s not talk about that for now,” Ye Mengying sat on Xia Tian’s lap and hugged his neck with her arms. Her voice was filled with affection: "I miss you."

Without giving Xia Tian a chance to respond further, Ye Mengying leaned down and kissed him.

The next morning.

"Honey, there's a call... Honey, there's a call..." A melodious voice repeated over and over again.

Ye Mengying stretched out her snow-white arm from under the covers to pick up the phone and looked at it: "Honey, it's Mu Han calling."

"Oh, they probably have news." Xia Tian finally moved his hand away from Ye Mengying’s full bosom, took the phone and quickly answered.

“Honey, you were right. This incident was indeed targeted at you.” Mu Han said hurriedly: "This bomb, from raw materials to manufacturing method, is consistent with that time when Wang Xiaoya encountered a bomb. Furthermore, we checked Ye Zhiyi’s and his wife's call records; they did contact an unfamiliar number recently, and now this number has been deactivated. The methods used are suspiciously similar to the previous incidents. If everything goes as expected, the mastermind behind it should be the same person."

“Then have you found that stupid mastermind” Xia Tian asked quickly; he was most concerned about this matter.

"Honey, this person is very cunning, and we haven't been able to find any useful clues yet. We are currently investigating from the raw materials of the bomb on one hand, while our main focus is tracing mobile signals. The technicians have located where that phone number made calls each time, but he’s quite smart; every time he deliberately avoids cameras." Mu Han was also a bit helpless: "However, there's still a way. We are reviewing nearby surveillance footage. Even though the person called in places out of camera range, when they leave, they will inevitably pass through some monitoring point. As long as we compare carefully, we should be able to identify part of the suspects; but this is quite complicated. I’ve already asked Diao Diao to help with it. She’s very skilled at this kind of work, but she can’t determine exactly when there’ll be a result."

"Wife, I feel like that mastermind who secretly plotted against me might have something to do with the Li family." Xia Tian thought for a moment and said: "Do you remember that idiot Li Mingxuan He lured Bingbing into an alley last time and then detonated the bomb. Since both used bombs, could it be they’re actually in cahoots Also, that stupid guy deceived Bingbing, saying he knew who wanted to kill Xiaoya; perhaps he really did know, but since he’s dead now, we can’t find out."

"That's right, darling, you reminded me. I almost forgot about this. In that case, I'll have someone compare the residues from both explosions to see if they're done with the same method." Mu Han quickly said: "Darling, then I need to end this call now, I’ll tell you as soon as I get any news."

Mu Han hurriedly ended the call; it was obvious that she would go investigate again.

Xia Tian put down his phone and quickly took hold of another mountain peak with his free hand.

"Darling, I'm going to take a bath now. There are still some things I need to do today," Ye Mengying said softly.

"What kind of stuff" Xia Tian didn't want to let her go.

"During the New Year period, there are always some guests who need to be seen. Today my grandfather has a few friends coming over and I have to help him entertain them," Ye Mengying explained gently: "I know you don’t like these kinds of things, so don't worry about accompanying me. You can go find Xiao Qiao."

In the end, Xia Tian could only leave the Ye family estate; it wasn’t that Ye Mengying was trying to chase him out. On the contrary, she would’ve been happy for him to accompany her to meet guests. It was just that as she said, Xia Tian didn't like such social engagements, so he left on his own.

After leaving the Ye family estate, Xia Tian first called Leng Bingbing; he had rushed off yesterday without having a chance to explain things clearly to her.

However, what surprised Summer was that Cold Ice had already known about Ye Jiasheng's situation and even asked about Ye Mengying. However, what made Summer a bit depressed was that Cold Ice also told her she was currently at the police station as there were more cases recently, so she decided to start work earlier.

The only piece of news that slightly cheered him up was that Cold Ice informed him that she would definitely be home for dinner. In other words, if he went over in the evening, she would certainly be there.

Cold Ice didn't chat with Summer for long because she still had things to do at the station. Feeling aimless, Summer decided to call his other wives.

After an hour, Summer grumbled: "I hate the countryside."

Summer's hatred of the countryside was justified as he first called Sun Xinxin and learned that she had returned to her rural hometown in Linjiang County. Then he called Liu Yunman who also went back to her old house in the countryside. Even worse, both Yun Qing and Shu Jing were at their maternal grandmother's home in the countryside. Wang Xiaoya, the little girl, was there too.

Chu Yao wasn't in the countryside; she had gone to Sanya for a trip.

The wives in Beijing weren't in the countryside either but they were much farther away. Zhao Yujie, that demoness, had her phone turned off, making Summer want to beat her up. Avril and Isabella were still in America where they were also celebrating Spring Festival. Avril told him that she and Isabella had a great time and even killed several people.

What was most annoying for Summer was that even Qiao Xiaqiao didn't have time today.

The only bit of good news is that An Keke hasn't gone anywhere; she's been hiding in the hotel. When she heard that Xia Tian was back in Jianghai, she became very excited and wanted him to take her out shopping.

Although Xia Tian isn’t fond of shopping, he still agreed to An Keke’s request and went to the presidential suite at the Emperor Hotel to bring her out. As for her bodyguards and assistants, they naturally stayed behind in the hotel.

As a big star and also Xia Tian's woman, An Keke's life isn't as free as one might think; usually when she goes shopping, there’s always a group of people trailing after her. Only when shopping with Xia Tian does she feel more relaxed because everyone feels safe with him by her side. It is precisely for this reason that An Keke wants to shop with Xia Tian.

An Keke's shopping is genuine shopping—she only looks, doesn’t buy. She even tried on dozens of rings from a jewelry store and several necklaces, causing the salesperson to curse Xia Tian endlessly because she thought An Keke would surely like these things, but Xia Tian refused to buy any for her.

The salesperson didn't know that Xia Tian was actually innocent; he wasn’t unwilling to buy them, it’s just that An Keke herself had no intention of purchasing anything. Before entering the store, she had specifically mentioned that she only wanted to try things on and play around with them without buying.

The two of them shopped from morning till evening until the sky was dark. They also ate two meals outside; even after it got dark, An Keke didn't want to go back. This pitiful big star seldom gets to shop freely, so this time she seemed intent on making up for lost time.

Thanks to her good luck, no one noticed that she was the famous actress An Keke as they shopped all day long; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to shop with such ease.

"Keke, shall we go back" Xia Tian couldn’t hold out any longer; shopping really isn't fun at all.

"My feet hurt, I don't want to go back," An Keke started pouting.

"Then I'll carry you back." Xia Tian picked up An Keke from the waist as he spoke.

"Husband, let's not go back. Going back isn't fun, let's play outside longer," An Keke continued to be playful.

"I still think it’s more fun going back." Xia Tian said casually and carried on walking with An Keke in his arms.

"I'm going to scream rape," An Keke pouted, threatening Xia Tian playfully.

"Then I'll rape you when we get home," Xia Tian was naturally not afraid of this.

"Husband, you're just a big wolf, always wanting to rape me. I really am going to scream rape," An Keke coquettishly complained.

In the heat of the moment, An Keke did shout out loud: "Help! Rape!"the squad but wanted to be its leader. However, this matter hadn't been settled yet because while some people in the Shadow Squad supported it, others opposed it strongly. Their reason for opposing it...
