For the next half a month, Mega Gun Houzi would report to Xiao Zheng in detail every three days. Fortunately. Although the Elysium Mercenaries were strong, there was a limit to their numbers. They couldn't cause damage on a large scale. On the contrary, Mega Gun was furious and organized a few powerful counterattacks. They killed more than ten Elysium Mercenaries on the spot. It was like a shot in the arm for the Mercenary Association.
Ever since Tina called Xiao Zheng once, she never contacted Xiao Zheng again. However, through the reports from Mega Gun and Houzi. She must have taken action a few times to suppress the Elysium Mercenaries' arrogance. At least in the past half a month, the Elysium Mercenaries didn't act as frequently as before. They even had the intention to cease all activities.
Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't think that the Elysium Mercenaries would let this go. Without a strong enough background, how would they dare to challenge the Mercenary Association? One had to know that the Mercenary Association was the Fox Hunting Gang's close partner. Together, the two forces controlled half of the world's underground world.
On the contrary, it was because of the Elysium Mercenaries' high-profile challenge that Xiao Zheng was worried about how terrifying the power behind them was.
Ouyang also frequently reported to Xiao Zheng about the situation. Although with Ouyang's current status, he didn't have to report everything to Xiao Zheng. Firstly, he knew that Xiao Zheng had a strong sense of the overall situation and could give constructive suggestions. Secondly, he engraved Xiao Zheng's kindness in his heart. Not only did he treat Xiao Zheng as his superior, but he also saw him as a benefactor.
The Phantom series was very effective in the global marketing. Although it was impossible to recreate the glory from nothing. However, it was Xin Ao Group's top priority to deepen its global influence step by step. In this regard, Ouyang was very efficient. He didn't let Xiao Zheng down.
Everything was developing in a good direction according to Xiao Zheng's expectations.
Xiao Zheng had lunch in the company and was about to return to the office to deal with the documents when he received a call. The person on the other side of the phone called Bai Wuxia …
"Mother-in-law is back?" Xiao Zheng asked happily.
"Are you not interested in receiving me alone?" Bai Wuxia's gentle and kind voice came from the other side of the phone.
Although Bai Wuxia had already returned to secular life, after living as a monk for more than twenty years, the once arrogant and domineering Bai Wuxia had been polished into a good person without any anger. No matter how he treated people or how he handled things, he was extremely gentle.
"Of course not," Xiao Zheng explained hurriedly while talking to Bai Wuxia on the phone while taking the elevator downstairs.
"Uncle Bai!"
Xiao Zheng met Bai Wuxia in the reception room on the first floor of Xin Ao and greeted her sincerely.
Bai Wuxia was dressed in a well-ironed suit and looked in good spirits. A pair of gentle and kind eyes also emitted an unfathomable light. It seemed like Bai Wuxia's strength had improved again.
Bai Wuxia stood up with a smile and asked, "I didn't disturb your work, did I?"
"No, no." Xiao Zheng said with an honest smile. "If you didn't come, I would just go upstairs to drink some tea and surf the Internet."
After a pause, he smiled again and asked, "Uncle Bai, did you come back alone?"
Bai Wuxia nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. Your mother-in-law is listening to the waves in the East Sea. She asked me to bring you a gift. "
"What gift?" Xiao Zheng was shocked.
It was definitely not an ordinary gift from his mother-in-law. He was actually looking forward to it.
Bai Wuxia smiled and took out a delicate wooden box from his pocket. The box alone was exquisitely made. It was filled with a simple charm. Bai Wuxia joked, "I took the risk of carrying a controlled product to bring it to you."
Xiao Zheng took the box with a solemn expression. It was heavy in his hand. He did not know whether it was because the box was heavy or because of the gift inside.
"This is specially picked for you by Ye. See if you like it. "Bai Wuxia said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng nodded and opened the box.
There was a sharp blade with a blue light lying quietly in the box. It looked like a saber but not a saber. It looked like a sword but not a sword. It was about 20 centimeters long, and its whole body was covered with dense lines. Xiao Zheng could not tell what it was. He just touched it with his hand. The texture was cold, and there was a chill.
"Try it?" Bai Wuxia said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng nodded and took out the weapon that was closer to the edge of the blade.
Clang!
The blade was unsheathed, and a monstrous chill poured out. It went straight to the heart.
Xiao Zheng waved his hand, and there was a violent roar. It was shocking.
"Good blade." Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up. "What's it called?"
"I don't know." Bai Wuxia said with a smile. "I tried it. It was so sharp that it could cut through hair. Ye found it for you in Mount Qingcheng. She put a lot of effort into it. "
Xiao Zheng was quite moved by the last sentence that he had put in a lot of effort. It must be something extraordinary for his mother-in-law to put so much effort into it. But since Bai Wuxia did not know what this blade was. He did not ask anymore.
Xiao Zheng toyed with the edge of the blade, feeling that it was heavier than the one he had before. Sharper. And more imposing. Just by holding it in his hand, he was filled with fighting spirit.
What a good blade!
Bai Wuxia made this trip to deliver the blade. He declined Xiao Zheng's kind invitation for dinner. He left in a huff. He seemed to be free and at ease, as if he didn't belong to the mortal world. From the beginning to the end, Bai Wuxia did not mention Bai Wushuang. It could be seen that he really did not want to be greedy for worldly things, just like his mother-in-law.
With his mother-in-law as a blade, Xiao Zheng was in a very good mood for the whole afternoon. He even sent a few text messages to Old Lin. Even the picture of the kitchen knife attached to Old Lin's message looked very cute.
Ding dong.
Before he got off work, Xiao Zheng received a text message on his phone. He looked at it and saw that it was from Bai Yujiao.
Xiao Zheng remembered that Bai Yujiao had taken annual leave to visit her family in Pearl City a few days ago. She would only return to the capital at the end of the month. Why did she send him a text message now?
"Go back to Pearl City quickly."
There were only four words in the text message. Xiao Zheng was shocked when he saw it. He hurriedly called her, but the phone was turned off.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyebrows. He became anxious.
He knew that Bai Yujiao did not like to ask for help, and she rarely made such a fuss. Something big must have happened for her to suddenly send such a text message.
He hung up the phone with Old Lin and said that he was going back to Pearl City for a few days. He did not care about taking a plane. He got on the high-speed rail and called the old principal to ask about the situation.
"Xiao Bai is looking for you?" The old principal was also a little scared. He did not understand.
"You don't know what happened to her?" Xiao Zheng frowned even more.
"I don't know," the old principal said anxiously. "She received a call in the afternoon. Then she went out in a hurry. "
"Then she should be fine." Xiao Zheng let out a breath of turbid air and comforted the old principal. "I'll be back at night. I'll contact you when I find Xiao Bai. "
He hung up. Xiao Zheng made a few more calls to the subordinates who stayed behind to look after Pearl City. After a busy night, she did not find out the specific situation. This made her more and more uneasy.
Ding dong.
A text message appeared on her phone. It was actually from Lin Huayin.
"Something happened at the orphanage."
