Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 122 I believe you

In the morning, Bai Xun was the only one coming down from upstairs. Bai Song took a big bite of the beef patty and ignored him with a sullen face.

"Second Young Master, doesn't Second Young Madam want to eat breakfast?" Ah Fu asked hurriedly.

"He hasn't gotten up yet. Ask the kitchen to make him a bowl of chicken soup with wontons. The beef patties are pretty good. Leave two for him." Bai Xun ordered.

"understood."

Nanchun had a rare good night's sleep.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep since he left Baijiazhai.

"woke up?"

Bai Xun took a hot towel and wiped his face and hands.

Nanchun looked at him and asked softly, "Aren't you curious about why I came to Jincheng halfway?"

Bai Xun smiled and said, "If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I believe you."

Nanchun's heart trembled.

Bai Xun believed him, but he was going to lie to him next.

When the truth comes out, Bai Xun will never believe him again, right?

Seeing Nanchun looking embarrassed, Bai Xun touched his face.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll take care of everything!"

"Bai Xun, do you know the demon book?" Nanchun asked after hesitating for a moment.

Bai Xun was slightly startled and said, "Demon Book?"

Nanchun nodded and whispered, "Yes, it's the book 'Family Letters'. Do you remember it? It's the one Boss Zhen recommended to me when we went to buy books. It's the one composed of letters from home, about snow-capped mountains and grasslands."

"That book... isn't it just an ordinary book? You showed it to me, but I didn't see anything special about it. Why do you call it a demon book?" Bai Xun asked in confusion.

Nanchun frowned and said, "I don't understand either...but the butler told me that the book is a demon book. He also said it's very dangerous, and many people are looking for it. If you are not careful, you will get killed.

By the way, Boss Zhen got into trouble because of that book. His bookstore was smashed, and he is now wanted. I heard from the housekeeper that Boss Zhen escaped, and the higher-ups have sent people to He'an County to investigate.

"Is it so serious?" Bai Xun handed him the toothbrush and tooth powder.

"Well, I learned about Boss Zhen when I went to the bookstore to buy books not long ago."

"Could it be...that this is why you secretly left home?" Bai Xun asked.

"Yes, I was terrified when I heard what the butler said. The higher-ups sent people to investigate An Yan, saying that everyone who had contact with Boss Zhen was under investigation. There were also some people hiding in the dark who wanted the demon book, ready to make a move. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so when the butler asked me, I didn't dare admit that I had seen the book."

Bai Xun reached out and touched his head, and asked, "You... don't trust the butler?"

Nan Chun said in a tangled voice, "You can't say I didn't believe him. I was really scared at the time and didn't dare to tell Boss Zhen that he had given me the demon book.

And aren't you familiar with that Boss Zhen? I'm not sure if you have anything to do with this book. I'm worried that if I admit it, I'll sell you out too. So... I thought of coming to Yangcheng to find you and ask you first."

Bai Xun nodded. "Boss Zhen and the book have nothing to do with me. I was not aware of it. If I had known, I would never have taken you to him. Why didn't you go directly to Yangcheng, but came to Jincheng halfway?"

"One reason I came to Jincheng halfway was because I was afraid someone was following me. A lot of people saw us buying books at the bookstore. It's possible those who were looking for the demon book already knew I had it.

One reason is that I wanted to find a car in Jincheng to quickly go to Yangcheng to find you. The Jin family caravan was moving too slowly with the goods, and I was afraid that something might happen on the way.

Another reason was that I heard from the boatman on the boat that Mr. Chunxiao might be in Jincheng. Didn't Mr. Zhen give us Mr. Chunxiao's theater tickets back then? I wanted to ask Mr. Chunxiao if he knew Mr. Zhen and get some information about him.

"I really can't understand why Boss Zhen would give me such a scary thing. This is the first time I've met him, and we've never dealt with him before... For no apparent reason... he's throwing such a big problem at me," Nanchun said, frowning.

He had gone over Nan Chun's words countless times in his mind in the past two days, and he was confident that he could make sense of them.

It doesn’t matter if these words are not perfect. After all, without careful planning, everything is accidental.

What's more, he is not a meticulous person, so there is no need for him to do everything perfectly.

Nanchun stared at Bai Xun closely. The nervousness on his face was not fake.

Bai Xun is a meticulous person, and he knows him very well.

If Bai Xun listened to his words and had no doubts, then half of the matter would be done.

After hearing this, Bai Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Nanchun didn't know the secret in the evil book.

If you don’t know, the danger will be less.

Seeing that Bai Xun remained silent, Nan Chun spoke anxiously and distressedly, "Who is that Boss Zhen? Aren't you familiar with him? So many people are looking for that book, it must be of great use. Why would he give it to me?"

Bai Xun leaned forward, hugged him in his arms, and gently comforted him, "Don't panic, don't be afraid. I will send someone to investigate Boss Zhen's matter. I used to buy books from him often, and we got to know each other over time. He is a good chess player, and I would occasionally play a few games with him and chat when I went to buy books.

All I heard was that he used to work at a publishing house in Huicheng. A few years ago, Marshal Sun was defeated, and Marshal Han occupied Huicheng. Those who had been close to Marshal Sun were liquidated, and the publishing house was no exception.

Boss Zhen held a low position and had no dealings with Marshal Sun. He spent some money to bribe them, and they let him go. However, he was still afraid of being retributed later, so he took his belongings and left Huicheng. He moved around a lot before settling down in He'an County two years ago.

Bai Xun once asked Wang Zijin about this matter. According to Wang Zijin, Huicheng Publishing House was indeed attacked and many people died.

At that time, he thought that he had no vested interests with Boss Zhen, so he did not send anyone to investigate his background.

Now it seems that there is something fishy going on everywhere.

After hearing this, Nanchun was worried: "You are close to him, and many people in He'an County know about it. If you go back, will they..."

Bai Xun asked, "Did anyone come to ask about this matter when you were in Baijiazhai?"

"No... only the butler asked me. Maybe it's because I live in a separate courtyard and don't know?" Nanchun said.

"Okay, I'll ask clearly when we get back to the old house." Bai Xun said.

Go back to your old home?

Nanchun felt a little panicked.

I finally managed to escape from the old house and haven't done anything yet. How can I go back now?

The Bai family is an ironclad force in He'an. If they want to find a breakthrough, they can only start with the business in Yangcheng.

He absolutely can't go back like this!
