hat Xia Tian would break down the door and rush in, but Cold Bingbing only spent less than five minutes showering before opening the door and stepping out."If you want to take a bath, you can do so no...Chapter 874: One After Another, Unexpected Events

"Honey, I'm not trying to deceive you. I just wanted to wait until you return to Jianghai before telling you about those things." Mu Han slowed down the car and cast a somewhat uneasy glance at Xia Tian. She hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Something did happen in Jianghai, but it's not too serious."

It was now late November; Xia Tian had left Jianghai over a month ago. While this period wasn't exactly long, it certainly wasn't short either. During these more than forty days, Xia Tian basically spent all his time on the luxurious cruise ship and lived quite comfortably, considering he was accompanied by the incomparably beautiful Isabella and Aveline. Occasionally, there would also be Princess Samara, who spoke a different language but was equally pretty.

Xia Tian's days aboard the cruise ship were rather peaceful, yet numerous events occurred in Jianghai City. These incidents were indeed not too serious as Mu Han had said, but "not too serious" implied that they were somewhat severe already—especially for Xia Tian, since all these things were actually targeted at him.

Although Mu Han was able to contact Xia Tian before, she didn’t tell him about these matters. She only dealt with them alongside Qiao Xiaoqiao and the others because she was worried that once Xia Tian found out, this husband of hers might take some astonishing actions which could put his own safety at risk. After all, he was on the sea at the time, and in Mu Han’s view, no matter what Xia Tian did, it wasn’t possible for him to return home immediately.

Now that Xia Tian had noticed something was amiss and had already returned home, Mu Han decided not to keep these things a secret anymore. She told him everything.

In the first half of the month before Xia Tian left Jianghai City, it remained quite peaceful there. However, afterwards, one thing after another happened; Wang Xiyah, who was Xia Tian’s youngest girlfriend, was the first to encounter an issue.

One noon, when Wang Xiyah stepped out of the school gate, a beggar suddenly appeared somewhere and asked her for money. In fact, Wang Xiyah did have bodyguards around her who immediately rushed forward upon seeing this scene in preparation to drive away the beggar. But right then, the beggar suddenly exploded.

Indeed, the explosion was caused by this beggar, but what actually exploded was the bomb on him. The beggar died instantly from the blast, and one of Wang Xiaoya's bodyguards also perished on the spot. At a crucial moment, the other guard threw himself in front of Wang Xiaoya, saving her life but sustaining serious injuries that left him hospitalized on a ventilator, still not out of danger. However, this bodyguard's sacrifice was not in vain; Wang Xiaoya herself only suffered minor scratches and a great deal of shock.

When Wang Xiaoya was attacked, neither Qiao Xiaoqiao nor Mu Han realized that the incident was targeting Xia Tian. The Jianghai police also treated it as a terrorist attack.

About a week later, another person became a victim: Sun Xinxin this time.

She was on her way home from work when she happened to be driving the Ferrari Xia Tian had given her. Just as she approached her home, at an intersection, another car suddenly crashed into her Ferrari at high speed.

Sun Xinxin did not witness the incident, but her bodyguards who followed behind in their car saw everything clearly. They witnessed this vehicle suddenly speeding up to ram into the Ferrari deliberately, which meant it was a premeditated attempt to cause an accident. Luckily, the bodyguards reacted swiftly and without hesitation; they crashed into the perpetrator's car, pushing it away.

The driver of that vehicle died instantly, while Sun Xinxin remained unharmed. The bodyguards sustained only minor injuries. This incident made both Qiao Xiaoqiao and Mu Han realize something was amiss; this clearly intentional act made them suspect that Wang Xiaoya’s previous accident might not have been an isolated incident but rather targeted at Summer.

Mu Han and Qiao Xiaoqiao began investigating the two incidents while intensifying protection for everyone involved. Nevertheless, four days prior, just before Mu Han called Xiaoming who was still on the cruise ship, another person met with misfortune.

This latest victim came as a surprise to both Mu Han and Qiao Xiaoqiao because among all the people in Jianghai City, this individual should have been the least likely to encounter such an incident.

The person who was least expected to encounter trouble but did so anyway is Chu Yao, now the top figure in Jianghai's underworld and the famous Miss of the Chu Clan. She is a formidable character whose word can make others disappear.

Chu Yao not only has many people protecting her both openly and covertly; she also possesses powerful abilities. Logically speaking, she should be the safest person among them all, yet something still happened to her. However, unlike Wang Xiaoya and Sun Xinxin, who were nearly killed by an explosion or a car crash respectively, Chu Yao was involved in killing someone. To be more specific, she killed someone in public.

The incident occurred when Chu Yao was at a bar which is actually part of the Chu Clan's business empire. Upon hearing about a fight breaking out at the bar and finding herself nearby and bored, Chu Yao personally went to handle it. Shortly after her arrival, another person arrived as well, something that seemed normal under such circumstances. The issue arose when things suddenly got out of control.

This individual abruptly pulled out a gun pointing it at Chu Yao, who in turn swiftly threw a throwing knife right into his throat, killing him instantly. This scene of Chu Yao's act of violence was witnessed by many people, leading to her being arrested and taken to the police station.

"Dear, the case of Chu Yao has been handed over to Bingbing again. This matter has caused quite a stir; it's been reported in the media and everyone is talking about it. The provincial governor, Song Jinping, also stated that he will ensure fair judgment and give the public an explanation. So now things are very complicated. Xiao Qiao originally wanted to get her released on bail first, but it seems there's no way around it. Even Hu Tu from the Provincial Department can't make a decision about this matter."

Mu Han seemed somewhat helpless but then immediately comforted Xia Tian.

"But don’t worry, dear, Chu Yao is currently safe for now; she’s staying in one of the best rooms at the detention center and there are people looking after her, so there won't be any safety issues."

Xia Tian didn't respond, as if he was contemplating something.

"Dear, are you okay" Mu Han saw Xia Tian's silent demeanor and became slightly worried.

"Oh, I'm fine. Wife, drive faster please; we need to get back to Jianghai early. First, I'll go rescue my wife Chu Yao from detention, then we’ll find all those idiots who want to harm her and deal with them!" Xia Tian was actually very angry. He had thought that after he cut Wei Jiahua into eighteen pieces, no one would dare harm his wife anymore, but it seemed cutting him into pieces wasn't enough—next time he'll have to cut the person into thirty-six pieces!erstand""Why" Zhao Yujie was very perplexed.
