My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 873: I’m sorry for putting you through that just now

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: I’m sorry for putting you through that just now

However, just as he was about to rush out, his body froze.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Zheng cursed under his breath; it was that damn inherited injury again.

Xiao Zheng looked at the receding Red Giant with an uncertain expression.

"Forget it."

Dugu Baitian shook his head at this moment and said, "The Red Giant may not have high-level combat skills, but his survival ability is incredibly strong. If we chase after him now, we won’t be able to stop him."

Xiao Zheng knew that what Dugu Baitian said was true, and he could only nod helplessly in the end.

Then, he looked at Dugu Baitian and asked, "Why did you suddenly appear?"

Dugu Baitian replied, "I received information earlier that the Red Giant from the Demon Shield Bureau had been spotted here, so I came to check it out. I didn’t expect to see you in a battle with him."

Xiao Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Dugu Baitian looked at Xiao Zheng at this moment and said, "The Demon Shield Bureau has already set their sights on you!"

Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The only reason the Red Giant came out was for revenge. He was originally looking for you, but when he couldn’t find you, he came after me."

Dugu Baitian laughed and said, "No matter what, you have now become an enemy of the Demon Shield Bureau. Evil God, are you still not considering cooperating with us?"

Xiao Zheng did not make an immediate decision and remained silent for a while.

"Let’s see."

Finally, Xiao Zheng said.

He still couldn’t make up his mind to completely clash with the Demon Shield Bureau.

After all, the consequences were a bit terrifying.

"Then we’ll follow your lead." Dugu Baitian smiled faintly. "However, I believe things won’t be that simple. Based on the intelligence I have so far, there’s no need to worry in the short term."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately looked at Dugu Baitian.

"After all, this is our territory, Hua Country. No matter how strong the Demon Shield Bureau is, they can’t act recklessly here."

Dugu Baitian smiled with a trace of pride. "They have already failed twice; they wouldn’t dare come a third time without absolute confidence. This is, after all, a matter between two super large powers, and they wouldn’t dare go too far."

"Hearing you say that, I feel reassured." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.

He knew that Dugu Baitian would never lie.

"Alright, I’ll make my leave first." Dugu Baitian said, "If there’s any intel from the Demon Shield Bureau, Futu will inform you immediately."

After saying that, Dugu Baitian disappeared into the night.

"Thank you."

Xiao Zheng said in a serious tone, addressing the departing figure of Dugu Baitian.

He knew how precious it was that Dugu Baitian and his group still offered him assistance despite his repeated refusals to cooperate with Futu.

If he were alone, without so many concerns, he might have already joined forces with Futu to fight against the Demon Shield Bureau.

Xiao Zheng stood in place, staring at the dark sea in the distance, lost in thought for a moment. To be honest, he had felt quite stifled recently.

Every time, the Demon Shield Bureau would show up mysteriously, launching sudden attacks. For example, when he attended the Leng Family banquet with Leng Ruobing, everyone was enjoying the joyful atmosphere when Steel Man showed up.

Then there was the Qianqiu Building bomb incident, which nearly obliterated the entire building. Xiao Zheng himself almost perished in that incident.

In this series of events, Xiao Zheng realized that he had lost the initiative, always being on the defensive.

This time, Xie Anfeng came to bully Mo Anna. If he hadn’t been lucky to arrive in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Xiao Zheng never liked this sort of thing. For an Evil God, no matter what the situation, the initiative should always be in his hands.

"Let’s go back and check on Mo Anna first."

Finally, Xiao Zheng sighed lightly, turned around, and headed toward Mo Anna’s residence.

He soon returned to Mo Anna’s house and, seeing the mess around, couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Xiao Zheng."

Mo Anna saw Xiao Zheng appear and quickly walked up to him, saying, "Are you alright? You didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"

Seeing Mo Anna’s concerned look, Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Xie Anfeng is no match for me at all. How could there be any danger?"

"What if they had an ambush?" Mo Anna’s words took Xiao Zheng by surprise.

There indeed had been an ambush.

"I knew it."

Seeing his reaction, Mo Anna couldn’t help but worry, "Fortunately, you returned safely. I was really worried while staying at home."

Hearing Mo Anna’s words, Xiao Zheng quieted down and looked at her silently.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mo Anna felt it was a bit strange.

"I made you suffer." Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and, somewhat forcefully, pulled Mo Anna into his arms.

After encountering such an ordeal, Mo Anna hadn’t thought of herself at all. Her heart was entirely focused on his safety, which touched Xiao Zheng deeply and made him feel incredibly guilty for not being able to protect her properly.

Mo Anna was a bit stunned by Xiao Zheng’s sudden move, but she quickly smiled and said softly, "As long as you’re here, I’m the happiest woman. There’s no way I could feel wronged."

After holding Mo Anna for a while, Xiao Zheng let go, looked around, and frowned, "It’s too messy here. You can’t stay here tonight. Do you have another place? If not, I’ll arrange one for you."

"I have another place."

Mo Anna quickly said.

"That’s good, I’ll take you there." Xiao Zheng nodded.

"Okay, I’ll pack a few things." Mo Anna sounded a bit sweet.

Once she was ready, Xiao Zheng carried her things, and under her guidance, they headed to her other residence.

As for the matters here, they would have to wait until the next day.

After arriving at her other place, Xiao Zheng settled in. After all, Mo Anna had just gone through such an ordeal; he had to stay with her.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Xiao Zheng opened his eyes and turned to see Mo Anna’s rosy cheeks, adorned with a few delicate blushes, looking incredibly enchanting. He couldn’t help but smile, "Little demon."

Last night, it took quite some effort for Mo Anna to beg for mercy.

At this moment, Mo Anna let out a delicate moan and also woke up.

With a bit of confusion in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Zheng for a long time before fully waking up.

Then, her fair and smooth arms wrapped around Xiao Zheng’s neck, and she snuggled into his embrace like a lazy Persian cat, her phoenix eyes half-closed.
