Chapter 1368

"We will find a solution," Ximen Wudi clenched his fists and said, "I believe it."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Ximen Wudi," Ximen Wudi smiled reluctantly, then coughed a few times: "Actually, my injuries this time are very serious; I probably won't live for long..."

"Then cherish life well; after all, I don't want a top expert like you to die under someone else's gun, especially since you are my wife's comrade-in-arms," Ximen Wudi said.

Tears of gratitude welled up in Ximen Wudi's eyes: "Thank you."

Afterwards, he turned his head to look out the window and fell into silence again.

…………

And at this time, the sniper had already driven the car to the vicinity of an abandoned factory in the suburbs and pushed Ximen Wudi out.

Ximen Wudi stumbled onto the ground, falling into broken glass shards, blood splattering everywhere.

"You lunatic!" he cursed.

The sniper cast a cold glance at him and said: "I advise you not to be stubborn; otherwise, the next bullet will blow your head off."

Ximen Wudi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of death; if you want to kill me, then be quick about it."

"Heh," the sniper sneered mockingly: "Not only will I kill you, I will also kill your biological brother. I will place the corpses of you two brothers together and let you reunite in the underworld!"

Is Ximen Bingyuan dead too?

Hearing this, Ximen Wudi's face turned pale!

At this moment, he finally realized that the core layer of the Ximen family had completely become pawns controlled by others!

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense! Don't try to lie to me!" Ximen Wudi shouted.

"I'm not lying to you, because that sniper wasn't sent by me at all, but by your big brother Ximen Bingyuan, and the purpose was to lure me into the trap!" the sniper sneered: "You idiot, you were sold by Ximen Bingyuan, and you're still counting the money for him!"

"How is this possible..."

Ximen Wudi stood stiffly in place, simply unable to believe it!

He never expected that the truth of everything would be like this!

"I told you long ago, you two brothers, one is stupider than the other!" the sniper looked at Ximen Wudi mockingly: "I'm waiting for you two brothers to kill each other!"

After speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night!

Ximen Wudi stood in place, the whole person as if petrified.

At this time, his phone rang.

Ximen Wudi hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Wudi." A slightly hoarse man's voice came through.

It was exactly Ximen Bingyuan's voice!

"Ximen Bingyuan, so it was you betraying me, you bastard!" Ximen Wudi roared angrily!

"Yes, even if you didn't betray me, I would still kill you, so I could swallow the Ximen family's secret weapon all by myself," Ximen Bingyuan's tone carried sinister ruthlessness: "My younger brother has been brilliant since he was a child, and I am very wary of him, so I must get rid of him."

"Ximen Bingyuan, do you hate your own brother that much?" Ximen Wudi asked.

"Of course I hate him to death, but now I need a scapegoat, and you are the most suitable candidate," Ximen Bingyuan said indifferently, then hung up the phone.

Ximen Wudi stood blankly in place, not moving for a long time.

He didn't notice a black shadow flying over from the distant sky, then landing silently beside the car.

Ximen Wudi gently pulled open the passenger seat and sat in.

Lin Aoxue was also sitting in the back, her pretty face still covered in frost; the conversation between Ximen Wudi and the sniper just now made her feel suffocated in her chest.

"Let's find a place to stay first, then discuss countermeasures," Lin Aoxue said, "I always feel that this matter is not as simple as we imagined."

"Okay," Ximen Wudi nodded and said to the driver: "Go to Nanluoguxiang."

Hearing this, the driver stepped on the gas and drove toward Nanluoguxiang.

…………

Nanluoguxiang is about four hundred kilometers away from the city center.

Because this place is a slum, the rent is extremely expensive, with a daily rent of one thousand yuan.

"Who is the landlord?" Ximen Wudi asked.

"It's my dad," Zhang Ziwei said.

Ximen Wudi nodded: "Are you two sisters used to life here?"

He didn't ask about the specific situation of Zhang Ziwei's parents.

Actually, in Zhang Ziwei's view, this environment was already much better than imagined.

This was the Zhang family's property, and with Ximen Wudi covering them, her parents didn't need to worry about their future life at all.

Although Zhang Ziwei could now be considered half a rich woman, she was still very respectful and loving toward her parents.

"The people living on this street are all poor laborers, working hard every day to earn money to support their families," Zhang Ziwei looked at the dilapidated scene around her, her eyes shining with a soft light: "Their lives are all quite simple."

"Hmm, this place is indeed quite good, quiet, no need to worry about so many messy things," Ximen Wudi looked at Zhang Ziwei and said, "Actually, you could completely move to my place; anyway, my villa is big enough for your family of three to live in."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziwei's eyes revealed a warm expression: "No, I feel very fulfilled here; even without the family's help, I can do very well. This is my choice."

At this moment, Ximen Wudi suddenly felt that this girl seemed much stronger than he had expected.

"I am very gratified that you can think this way," Ximen Wudi patted Zhang Ziwei's arm, nodded slightly, and said.

At this time, the sniper had already walked far away, and Ximen Wudi didn't intend to track him.

However, what this person said before leaving made a thick sense of vigilance rise in Ximen Wudi's heart.

This was a trap, a conspiracy against Ximen Wudi, and it might not be over yet.

"Let's go to your house; this place is very close to our house," Ximen Wudi said.

Zhang Ziwei nodded: "Okay."

…………

"Dad, do you really want to do this? This will destroy us!" Ximen Wudi clenched his fists, his eyes red: "Your approach is too despicable!"

"There are no eternal friends in this world, no eternal enemies, and even less eternal loyalty," Ximen Bingyuan said coldly: "If you cannot guarantee that your own interests will not be damaged, or even that you won't lose your life, then never pay loyalty to others again; otherwise, the next person to be stabbed in the back might be yourself."

Pausing, Ximen Bingyuan said: "Ximen Wudi, you are the only genius I have ever seen who could grow up, but... you are too naive."

"You want to borrow a knife to kill someone, and then push all the responsibility onto me!" Ximen Wudi gritted his teeth, his eye sockets already swollen red!

"Isn't this better for you? This way you can clear your suspicion, and at the same time..." Ximen Bingyuan grinned, that ferocious expression making people very afraid: "I can also take advantage of the situation to replace your position and become the new heir!"

Ximen Wudi and Zhang Ziwei walked side by side.

Ximen Bingyuan had already said everything that needed to be said, and now Ximen Wudi and that sniper should have already separated; after all, these two were not life-and-death brothers, and Ximen Bingyuan didn't think Ximen Wudi would give up resistance and cooperate with the investigation obediently.

"How much credibility do you think Ximen Bingyuan's words have?" Zhang Ziwei asked Ximen Wudi softly.

"I don't know," Ximen Wudi shook his head: "However, since I have decided to spare his life for now, he won't be able to make any waves."

"I always feel that there seems to be some conspiracy hidden in this, but I can't grasp the key point for a moment," Zhang Ziwei said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm here; you don't need to worry about anything," Ximen Wudi held Zhang Ziwei's hand tightly: "With me here, you won't encounter any danger."

This sentence seemed to give Zhang Ziwei great strength; she took a deep breath and nodded.

This girl, although she looked very optimistic and positive on weekdays, actually had a trace of invisible fragility and sensitivity in her bones.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly," Ximen Wudi took Zhang Ziwei's wrist: "I'll make dinner."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, and Zhang Ziwei followed Ximen Wudi step by step, her pretty face slightly red.

In Zhang Ziwei's view, Ximen Wudi holding her hand like this made her feel a bit shy.

…………

"Master, what exactly is Ximen Bingyuan up to?" The old man who was reading the newspaper while sunbathing in the courtyard suddenly asked.

"Heh." The man sitting beside him sneered twice, "This guy must be eyeing the Ximen family's financial power! Truly greedy enough to swallow an elephant!"

"He wants to seize the throne?" The old man's gaze pierced through the newspaper, landing on Ximen Bingyuan's face, narrowing his eyes: "If he really dares to do this, then this trip to Ninghai probably won't be too easy."

"Then what do you plan to do?" The middle-aged beautiful woman sitting at another small table asked.

She was wearing a loose white nightgown, her whole body filled with a lazy flavor, looking still charming.

"I want to see how many tricks this Ximen Bingyuan can pull," the old man's tone carried a faint mockery, clearly not caring too much: "Don't you guys know what our family's trump card is?"

Hearing this, the beautiful woman immediately understood, nodded, and then sighed, shaking her head.
