I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 24 Netherfire

Xia Jun took the document Xia Xue pushed over, opened it, checked it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, you'll have your own business from now on. Manage it well and don't bring shame to the Xia family."

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"Shady businessman!"

Xia Xue glared at Xia Jun, then took a vicious bite of the bun, as if she were biting Xia Jun herself.

"We clearly agreed before that I wouldn't be involved in the business, I would only focus on filming the dramas. How come I'm now responsible for the company's operations? You're a liar!"

Xia Jun looked confused and asked Xia Xue, "Madam, what are you saying? I don't understand. Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? Did we sign any legally binding documents? I don't remember, right? Madam, how could you make up lies and slander me? If you continue like this, I'll sue you for defamation."

Xia Xue glared fiercely at Xia Jun, ate her steamed buns in big bites, and muttered under her breath through gritted teeth.

"If I ever trust you again, I'm a dog."

Xia Jun looked at Xia Xue smugly.

"The business world is like a battlefield. Today I'll teach you a trick: all's fair in war."

While tearing apart a steamed bun, Xia Jun earnestly instructed, "In the business world, all verbal promises are invalid; only those that are written down in legal documents are valid."

Xia Jun put the last piece of steamed bun in his mouth, then, as if remembering something, said, "Let me teach you a trick: remember to record your conversations in the future. Even if the secretly recorded conversations can't be used as evidence, you can still use public opinion to put moral pressure on the other party and make them give up some of their benefits."

Xia Jun swallowed the bun in his mouth and clapped his hands.

"Father's free mini-lesson has come to an end."

Xia Jun picked up his soy milk and raised his glass to Xia Xue: "Congratulations, newbie to the business world."

Xia Xue snorted and took a big gulp of soy milk.

"A businessman's mouth is a liar's mouth."

Xia Xue put down her soy milk, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, and muttered to herself, "If I still believe this, I'm a pig."

Xia Yao finished washing up, changed her clothes, and came out.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

As we were talking, we heard the voice of a financial news anchor coming from the LCD TV hanging on the wall.

"The arrest of Nguyen Nghi, the head of the strategic department, has caused a huge uproar at the Nguyen Group. Some experts predict that the group's stock may fall when the market opens today, while others disagree..."

Xia Yao glanced at the LCD TV, looked at Xia Jun, and shook her head with a smile, saying, "Dad, this was your doing, wasn't it?"

Xia Jun put down his soy milk and casually said, "I need to urge Ruan Chao, otherwise I'm worried his procrastination will flare up again."

Xia Yao shrugged, sat down opposite Xia Xue, placed the tablet in her hand on the table, and pushed it towards her.

"This is information I gathered last night; I hope it's helpful to you."

Xia Xue tapped the screen.

It contains information about the murderer.

It contains surveillance footage, a website, transaction records, and more.

Clearly, some hacking techniques were used.

Xia Yao went to bed early last night, so it seems that, like her, she had pre-configured the relevant parameters of the hacking software to automatically scrape data from the internet.

Thanks.

Xia Xue casually placed it aside.

Even in that situation, he was still thinking about her... Although this thing was useless to her, I appreciate his sentiment.

Xia Yao carefully observed Xia Xue's expression, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Sure enough, this information was useless to her.

She has already obtained this information through her own means.

Just then, Xia Jue, dressed in sportswear, walked in, wiping away sweat with a towel.

"Huh? Xiaoxue got up so early today?"

Xia Xue looked embarrassed.

The "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" works at ten times the speed of sleep compared to when you are awake.

In the past, when there was nothing urgent, she would sleep as long as she could.

"I'll be more careful in the future."

Xia Xue replied awkwardly.

Xia Jue handed the towel to the maid next to her and said with a smile, "Being able to eat and sleep well is good."

Although Xia Jue meant it well, Xia Xue found it strangely awkward.

I have a feeling she was talking about pigs.

Xia Jue casually went to the kitchen to wash her face, took the towel handed to her by the maid, glanced at the things next to Xia Xue, and said while wiping the water off her face, "Where are you going so early?"

Xia Xue chewed on the bun in her mouth, pursed her lips, and said.

"Sketching".

Xia Jue sat next to Xia Yao and diagonally opposite Xia Xue. Taking the bowl and chopsticks from Zhang Ma, she exclaimed in surprise, "You can draw? I've never heard of you before!"

Xia Xue rolled her eyes at Xia Jue.

"I know so many things, how could you possibly know them all?"

While setting the table, Xia Jue casually replied, "Then draw me a self-portrait sometime, so I can see your skills."

Xia Xue pouted.

This family is really not easy to fool.

Each one is so exquisite.

Xia Xue hurriedly finished her soy milk, stood up, and said, "I'm done eating, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he picked up the things at his feet and was about to leave.

Xia Jue then stood up and called out to her.

"etc."

As he spoke, he walked around the dining table, stood in front of Xia Xue, and handed her a work ID.

"This is a consultant's certificate from Black Shield Company. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Xia Xue looked up and glanced at Xia Jue.

This guy, he really knew what I was going to do.

Xia Xue took the work pass, flicked it, and said meaningfully, "Then I really need to trouble you with something."

Xia Jue laughed and said, "Our Black Shield Company still carries some weight in the police system. As long as it's not your fault, you can use this authority to show off your power anytime."

Xia Xue put away her work ID and turned to leave when Xia Jue suddenly stepped forward and whispered in her ear:

"I've seen that assassin's style before when I was on a mission. They're from an assassin organization called Netherfire. The police have offered a high bounty, but it's been very ineffective. They're extremely dangerous. You need to be careful."

Wraithfire?

Xia Xue nodded with her back to Xia Xue and said, "Okay."

Xia Jue patted Xia Xue on the shoulder and whispered, "If you have any clues, remember to contact me. Consider it a favor I owe you."

Xia Xue turned her head and looked into Xia Jue's eyes.

Sure enough, she guessed it.

Xia Xue's shoulders twitched slightly, brushing Xia Jue's hand away. She stepped forward, turned her back to Xia Jue, and waved.

"See you later."

Xia Jue watched Xia Xue's retreating figure and shook his head.

Without saying anything, he sat back down in his seat.

"Sis, what's wrong?"

Xia Jue smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, just reminding her to be careful on the road."

As they were speaking, the roar of a motorcycle came from outside the room, and then quickly faded into the distance and disappeared.

Xia Jue shrugged and smiled helplessly, "Obviously, she didn't listen."

Xia Yao glanced at Xia Jue with a suspicious look, then turned back to her meal.

Not a single word of the truth.
