Chapter 57: There’s a Bomb

It took about 20 minutes to drive from the Villa District to the casino. The foreign roads were endless, and it was fun to run. However, once they reached the city, the traffic jam was the same everywhere.

Yan Kuan looked at the surrounding road conditions and leisurely took the computer to look at it.

Shen Xiaoxiao was wearing a light yellow coat today. The most special part of this coat was that it could be worn on both sides. The layer inside was black. This was a very bold design, but it just happened to appear in her wardrobe, and it was the outfit that Yan Kuan had personally bought for her.

“This light yellow coat today suits you very well. Look at this little face. As expected, people rely on clothes. But what’s in your bag? It can’t be a blade, right?”

Yan Kuan half-joked with Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him as if nothing had happened and said proudly, “It’s a blade. Didn’t I say that I would attack you when the time is right? Of course, I have to carry it with me.”

Shen Xiaoxiao said so, which actually made Yan Kuan happy. He also liked this little girl’s tsundere look. No matter how he looked at it, it made people love her.

Yan Kuan pulled her into his arms and kissed the corner of her eyes. He said lovingly, “Then I’ll wait for the little guy to find the right time.”

Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him and looked at the computer in Yan Kuan’s hand. Was this the Chinese stock market? It was early in the morning. It should be late at night in China right now. Why was he looking at this?

Perhaps Shen Xiaoxiao was looking too seriously, which attracted Yan Kuan’s attention. Yan Kuan smiled, touched the top of her head, and said to her, “This is the information on the Chinese stock market. Look, this green line represents…”

Yan Kuan spoke for more than 10 minutes. He even answered some of Shen Xiaoxiao’s questions in detail and clearly.

When the car started up again, Yan Kuan closed the computer and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “If you’re interested, I’ll teach you when we get to the office later. Don’t play with the computer in the car now. It’s bad for your eyes.”

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned again. Why? Why did Yan Kuan do this?

“Why do you want to teach me all this?”

Yan Kuan smiled and said, “As long as you like it, I can teach you as long as you want to learn. Also, you have never been to school before, so I’m afraid that you don’t even know some of the words. Your mother tongue is the knowledge that you should learn the most. I will hire a tutor to teach you.”

Shen Xiaoxiao’s mouth was wide open. Yan Kuan actually said that? It must be known that no one, including Third Uncle, had ever said that they would hire a tutor to teach her this or that for her, whether it was in this life or in her previous life.

In her previous life, Shen Xiaoxiao did only know a few simple Chinese characters when she returned to China.

It must be known that she was only six years old when she was sold. It was already not easy for a six-year-old child to know a few simple Chinese characters.

However, after returning to China, everyone completely ignored this problem.

Later, at some cocktail parties, Shen Xiaoxiao was ridiculed for not even knowing a complete English sentence after studying abroad for more than ten years. Only then did she hire a tutor to teach her how to read and write.

Before she was imprisoned, Shen Xiaoxiao spent three years memorizing the entire Chinese dictionary. Stupid people had their own ways of learning.

Now, hearing Yan Kuan say this, Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart wavered again.

“Alright, get out of the car. If you’re bored, let the hidden guards take you to the casino to play. Everyone knows gambling. You don’t need to learn to understand it. Gambling is the best way to arouse people’s greed and desire.”

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned by Yan Kuan’s words, but she understood what Yan Kuan meant.

Of course it was good to go to the casino, but to go to the casino so early in the morning, wasn’t it obvious that you were arousing suspicion?

Of course, the casino was open 24 hours a day, and going there now was also bustling with people. However, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn’t provoke Yan Kuan’s suspicion, so she naturally said, “It’s so early in the morning. I’m not that fond of gambling.”

“Alright, then go to the office. This little guy definitely hasn’t seen what a regular office looks like. I’ll bring you to have a good look.”

Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes behind him. Did he really think that she was a country bumpkin who had never seen anything? Did she need to see it? Seriously. No matter what, she had worked in the Shen Enterprise for a period of time in her previous life. Although that work experience had caused her to suffer a lot of humiliation, and the Shen Enterprise had also been swallowed by the Liu family in her hands, she still had experience at least.

The assistant, Kenny, was a white man in his thirties. Shen Xiaoxiao had seen him a few days ago during the King of Gamblers Competition. Now, when he was reporting to Yan Kuan with the information, Shen Xiaoxiao finally looked at him carefully.

With one look, Shen Xiaoxiao saw the difference. This man’s footsteps were light, and although he looked thin, his muscles were clearly visible under his clothes. This man was probably from the Dark Empire, and he was very skilled.

Perhaps because Shen Xiaoxiao’s gaze was too impudent, when Yan Kuan turned his head, he saw Shen Xiaoxiao looking at Kenny.

He frowned and took the information over. He pulled Shen Xiaoxiao over with his other hand and said to Kenny, “Go prepare for the department meeting in half an hour. Also, send a glass of milk over. A hot one.”

After saying that, he dragged Shen Xiaoxiao into the CEO’s office at the side. Just as she sat down, she heard Yan Kuan say:

“Little thing, if you dare to look at another man behind my back again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

The cruel and cold words made Shen Xiaoxiao stunned. This person had started to go crazy again. She ignored him, held her tongue, and sat at the side to play computer games.

This was the computer that Yan Kuan had given her. There were some small games in it. It was a glorified name. Now was the digital era. If one wanted to understand more knowledge, it was best to learn from the computer. However, every once in a while, he would come and check it.

Yan Kuan looked at the little girl sitting at the side and seriously reading the news. He did not say anything else. Instead, he personally brought the milk that Kenny had brought in to her. He saw that she was sipping it slowly. Only then did he turn his attention to his office.

Shen Xiaoxiao was focused on reading. She was reading some Chinese new articles. Yan Kuan knew about this too.

Kenny informed the department that the meeting was about to begin half an hour later. Yan Kuan led Shen Xiaoxiao to the door.

In the long corridor, other than the secretary’s office, there was a large office area. The meeting room was in a large glass room at the left end of the office area.

Shen Xiaozhao was still sitting on the sofa at the side. Yan Kuan was sitting at the main seat, preparing to preside over the meeting. The people here seemed to be unaccustomed to this. In any case, no one was looking at Shen Xiaozhao with sizing eyes.

They had all been carefully warned before that this was the Boss’s woman. This was the first time that a woman had appeared beside the boss of a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg. No one had to scare others away.

That was why Shen Xiaoxiao could focus on the latest entertainment news in China. She was sitting at the innermost end, near a trash can and a bonsai tree.

Just as Shen Xiaoxiao was looking carefully, an indiscernible dripping sound rang in her ear.

Her heart instantly tightened. She had heard this sound before in Yan Kuan’s training ground. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately stood up from the sofa. Without even noticing that the milk had been spilled, she pulled open the trash can that was covered by the bonsai, there was indeed a well-made mini electronic bomb inside.

“There’s a bomb!”
