As soon as she entered X Security Company, Bi Xia headed straight to the office. Her walking speed, coupled with her small, expressionless face, created a cold gust that swept into the office as she pushed the door open, instantly doubling the already low-pressure atmosphere.
Ye Xiao and Meng Chi simultaneously stood up from the sofa and approached Bi Xia. She raised her hand towards them, and Uncle Ye also stood up at that moment, smiling at her, "Little Nine, you got here so quickly."
"Uncle Ye." Bi Xia nodded to him.
"Come, come, sit here."
Seeing the seat Uncle Ye offered, Bi Xia didn’t decline. Despite their close personal relationship, in public and business matters, certain hierarchies had to be maintained.
With a cold face, she sat on the main seat on the sofa, looked over at the person opposite, and leaned back while crossing her arms, "Mr. Du, we meet again."
Du Han looked at the young girl who walked in emotionlessly from the beginning and listened to her slightly familiar voice. He frowned slightly, "And you are?"
With a cold chuckle, Bi Xia raised her hand to take out a golden half-mask from her waist and placed it on her face, saying lightly, "Now, do you recognize me?"
"You!" Du Han’s eyes widened as he watched the young girl slowly remove the golden mask and place it on the tea table. He turned his head, seeing the two youths who had just risen from their seats also took out masks from their waists and placed them on the tea table.
"Nine Ghosts, Nine Demons..." Du Han suddenly stood up, looking at Bi Xia, "You’re Zhan Jiu!"
Bi Xia’s originally indifferent face slowly formed a smile devoid of any emotion, her starry eyes slightly lifting, revealing ink-black pupils with no fluctuation, "Looks like Mr. Du recognized me."
As she spoke, Bi Xia lifted her left leg over her right, her long legs crossed, and her slanted eyes slightly raised, exuding a cold and sinister aura. The youth looked at Du Han with a half-smile, "Mr. Du rejected Nine Pavilion’s offer back in the day. Who would’ve thought, Mr. Du would come to us now."
Du Han took a deep breath with a cold expression, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know this was Nine Pavilion’s territory. Forgive me for declining Mr. Jiu’s kind offer." With that, he turned to leave.
Meng Chi and Ye Xiao simultaneously stood up to block Du Han, their expressions shifting from the previous cheerful student look to a gaze filled with murderous intent.
Du Han’s face darkened as he looked at Meng Chi and Ye Xiao, then turned to Bi Xia, who was sitting on the sofa, casually chatting with Uncle Ye and Ye Kai, "Does Mr. Jiu plan to force Du Han to join Nine Pavilion?" Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelHub(.)net
At that moment, Bi Xia didn’t respond to Du Han’s question but said to Ye Kai, "Uncle Ye, if you thank me again, I really won’t know what to do."
Ye Kai waved his hand, "How can I not thank you? Your aunt insisted I thank you properly. After all, you saved this security company. Everyone here didn’t want to be involved with the mess in Qing City’s underworld. You saved the security company and them as well."
Bi Xia laughed lightly, "Uncle Ye, don’t listen to Aunt Ye. She always likes to exaggerate. You’re Xiao’s father, which makes you my family. When family is in trouble, how can I not help? Besides, helping you benefits me too."
"Now that the security company is under my X Group, if anyone from Nine Pavilion wants to quit, I have a place to settle them and ensure they are fed and well taken care of."
Ye Kai paused, gently shaking his head, "You’re different from those fools."
Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, "Uncle Ye, don’t compare me to Yuan Hai and his bunch of idiots. They crave power, but I seek peace. The position I’m in today was forced upon me by them. If they are still alive, they must regret it bitterly."
"You said... X Group?"
