Chapter 539: How Can She Fall Before the Enemy Does

Editor: Millman97

"I know it wasn鈥檛 you," Xinghe said directly. This surprised Saohuang, he didn鈥檛 expect her to believe him so easily.

He smiled sinfully. "Why are you so sure?"

"That鈥檚 because I鈥檝e seen the killer with my own eyes."

"Who was it?"

"Lin Xuan."

Saohuang鈥檚 eyes darkened. So, it was him!

He laughed. "The Lin family sure is something else; every one of them born without a heart."

What he did was definitely heartless!

"How did you know it was him?" Saohuang leaned slightly forward to ask.

Xinghe replied firmly, "My instincts tell me so; I might not have proof, but I know it鈥檚 him."

"You鈥檝e impressed me again." Saohuang was not stingy with his compliments. "I love how you鈥檙e so direct and straight forward. Xia Xinghe, how come I didn鈥檛 find you earlier?"

Saohuang now had nothing to lose and he might not even evade the death penalty, so he had lost all filter. Plus, he really did admire Xinghe. If they had met under better circumstances, he probably would have pursued her.

Xinghe didn鈥檛 waste time with him. "Do you know who the leader is for IV Syndicate?"

"No idea, if I did, I would have told someone already to bargain for a lighter sentence."

"What does he look like..."

"No idea, I have no information on him because all our dealings were done through a middle man."

Disappointment flashed across Xinghe鈥檚 eyes, another clue gone. She really had no other way to understand more about this Project Galaxy?

"You were here to ask me about this?" Saohuang suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"But why?"

"Knowing too much is not good for you."

Saohuang smiled and switched to another tactic. "How鈥檚 Xi Mubai, is he dead?"

"You鈥檙e still alive so how can he be dead?" Xinghe said softly before turning to leave. Saohuang could feel fury directed at him. Just joking about Mubai鈥檚 death made her so angry...

For some reason, Saohuang found himself envious of Mubai.

...

Even though all the leads had dried up, Xinghe didn鈥檛 give up. She personally called Philip to search for the IV Syndicate鈥檚 leader. She asked him to call her when he uncovered any new leads.

Philip promised, "We will continue searching for him. I would not let him get away even if you didn鈥檛 ask for it. But why do you want to find him?"

"I have some questions to ask him, you鈥檒l see."

"Xinghe, how are you holding up?" Philip suddenly asked with concern. After the explosion, it appeared like the world was comforting her. However, Xinghe didn鈥檛 need that; she was not as fragile as they thought. Plus, she would not let herself be fragile, especially at a moment like this. The harder the trial, the stronger she would become.

"I鈥檓 fine."

"That鈥檚 great. By the way, I鈥檓 going to send you a present, you鈥檒l receive it soon."

What kind of present? Philip didn鈥檛 say and Xinghe didn鈥檛 ask. In fact, she had forgotten about it soon because something else needed her attention.

After Mubai鈥檚 accident, even though Jiangsan had been helping around the company but Xi Empire鈥檚 stock was still affected. Thankfully, the effect was still in manageable range.

However, recently, a large company in City A started buying up large amounts of Xi Empire鈥檚 stocks. A lot of shareholders were afraid that Xi Empire would go bankrupt without Mubai, so they were eager to sell their shares!
