Chapter 260: Chapter 260 - Danger Approaches
“I’m also in a hurry to get my successor, but I’ll need your permission first,” Song Mian whispered .
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to smack him on the head . He could flirt with her no matter what . “Must the successor be a boy?”
“If it’s a daughter, my father and I can’t bear to see her suffer . ”
They were not feudalistic, but it would burden a girl too much to bear the weight of the Song Family . His daughter would have to do everything he was doing now and more . She would have to face the world’s dangers and devote all her time to become stronger and better until she was as good as possible .
Song Mian couldn’t bear for his daughter to suffer like that . But he could do it to his son . It would be better that way .
“But what if we have no sons?” Nobody could predict the future .
“So be it,” Song Mian didn’t mind . “The Song Family has a lot of branch families . There will always be great kids among them . I’ll just pick one and raise him as my successor . ”
“Then you can start picking now,” Yun Xiangxiang was waiting for him to say this . He said he needed her permission, but he didn’t need it .
“No . ” Song Mian refused .
“Why?” Yun Xiangxiang glared at him .
“If I had not met you, maybe I would start picking one from the branch families in two years . ”
Song Mian sounded gentle, “I do not plan for my children to repeat my tragic story . ”
There were two reasons why his father chose to use a surrogate mother . First, he couldn’t find any outstanding partner . Second, some people were crazy for power in the family back then . If he chose someone from the branch family, they could use this as an excuse to start a civil war within the family .
But they were all weeded out by his father . With these hidden threats gone, he had more freedom than his father did .
And then he met Yun Xiangxiang . They loved each other . Eventually, they would have kids of their own .
They wouldn’t force this burden on their kids if they didn’t want to . It didn’t matter if they had a son or a daughter . They would give them enough freedom .
But if their child was willing to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family, what should they do if they started raising another child as a successor? How should he get along with their kid?
Yun Xiangxiang felt her face turning hot as Song Mian kept on explaining . “I’ll have to hang up now . Be safe out there, and look out for the beasts!”
They would tread into explicit territory if they continued . She was reckless when she talked about having children with him .
Yun Xiangxiang quickly went to bed after ending the call . She seldom dreamed, but for some reason, she dreamt of Song Mian pouncing on her . She woke up because of fright .
Yun Xiangxiang went back home after the morning’s filming . She checked everywhere to confirm that the coast was clear .
When she was going to drive into the neighborhood, the automatic recognition system malfunctioned .
Ai Li honked . Someone came out hurriedly from the security office . After fixing the problem, he apologized, “Sorry, Miss Yun . We don’t know why this happened . ”
The staff were sincere . It wasn’t their fault anyway . Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t fault them . “It’s fine . Malfunctions happen all the time . ”
Qian Yongnian surprised her when she came home . The fake jade he made looked almost the same as her black jadeite .
But they couldn’t be put together . The difference could be easily noticed if they did so .
If they were separated though, not even Yun Xiangxiang noticed anything different .
“You’re amazing, Grandpa Qian,” Yun Xiangxiang praised .
Qian Yongnian played it down . Yun Xiangxiang observed the fake before calling Captain Luo to tell him about this . He asked her to add him on WeChat and sent him the photos of both jades .
Yun Xiangxiang adjusted the light source and the brightness when she shot the dark green jade . They would look even similar after that .
Captain Luo agreed to her plan after he looked at the pictures . The black jadeite was expensive and unsuitable as bait .
“By the way, our staff pulled an all-nighter to watch the unedited footage and found two suspicious faces . I’ll send it to you . ”
The show’s crew delivered the footage as fast as they could, and the cops pulled an all-nighter to lock on to the suspects in twenty-four hours .
Yun Xiangxiang clicked into the picture Captain Luo sent . What she saw made her hand tremble .
She quickly called Captain Luo, “I just saw one of the men in the photos!”
It was during the system malfunction just now . The security guards came over to fix it . She knew the one who spoke to her, but the other two were new faces . One of them was the person in the photos he sent her!
They worked too fast . These people found where she lived this way .
If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t take a glance during the malfunction, if it wasn’t for Captain Luo’s speedy work, she might have stepped into danger .
She was afraid to even step out of her door, worried that the first thing to greet her would be the criminal .
“Don’t be scared . Their target is jadeite . They wouldn’t hurt anyone if they could help it,” Captain Luo calmed her down .
They were after money . They might kill in the process, but they were still different from true murderers .
Yun Xiangxiang calmed down quickly, “What should I do now?”
Captain Luo deliberated . “Give them an opening,” he said . “We must catch all of them in one fell swoop, or you’ll never be at peace . ”
“I have a lot of people with me . I don’t want to put them in danger . ”
Her entire team was here . Wang Yong, Coco, Zhou Jie, and even Qian Yongnian .
“Don’t panic . He shouldn’t make a move so soon . I’ll ask for the outside residents to help us get our men inside without getting exposed,” Captain Luo ended the call . He needed to make a move fast .
Yun Xiangxiang called Song Qian, “Qianqian, come down and fetch me . Don’t use the elevator we normally use . ”
They were used to using the elevator nearest to the door . Yun Xiangxiang was worried they might have been tampered with .
“Oh ho, it seems like they’re not total trash after all,” Song Qian sneered . Impressive . They infiltrated the building’s security team without anyone knowing .
“With how cautious they are, they must have made all their preparations . They probably know our whole schedule . I think the only thing left for them is to check our house . ”
“We are still safe . Noticing them first gives us an advantage . Pretend you don’t know anything . Give the jadeite to me . I’ll take care of this .
If they were not going for Yun Xiangxiang, Song Qian wasn’t worried . Her first priority was Yun Xiangxiang’s safety .
