Zou Bai called Zou Yi over as soon as he checked in and asked him if there was any news from the Intelligence Network. As the head of the family, he was always concerned about the news. Any small matter could lead to different consequences.

He had been on the plane for a long time, so he wanted to confirm if anything serious had happened.

The Zou Family’s business was very stable. Nothing happened. Zou Bai nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

Zou Yi looked at his expression and did not know if he should say it. However, their first lesson as secret guards was to learn to be loyal and not hide anything from their master.

“Master, we received news from the Intelligence Network,” Zou Yi said with difficulty. “Miss Chen Xiang has suddenly returned to the country.”

Upon hearing this name, Zou Bai expressed that he understood. Then, he thought of Chen Xiang’s father.

Chen Xiang’s father had once been employed by the Zou family to manage some trivial matters overseas. Although he had nothing to do with their family on the surface, he was still working for the Zou family.

Before Zou Bai became the head of the family, he stayed abroad for a long time to familiarize himself with the business. Chen Xiang’s father had helped him a lot.

Later on, during an operation, Chen Xiang’s father had died trying to save him. Zou Bai wouldn’t forget that he had saved his life, so he immediately went to settle his family down.

Chen Xiang’s mother passed away early, leaving her as the lone orphan in the family.

Zou Bai felt that the Zou Family needed to take responsibility for this matter, so he took out a large sum of money to compensate Chen Xiang.

At that time, Chen Xiang was still an underage child. There was no way she could keep so much wealth. He might as well save all his money and send her to a welfare agency. Logically speaking, this was the best choice.

However, within two weeks, he received a call from Chen Xiang. The other party was crying hysterically on the phone, saying that she had been abused at the welfare agency and that others had bullied her.

It was only then that Zou Bai realized that his approach wasn’t very reliable. After thinking about it, he could only bring her to his side and let her stay in the apartment in the city center. He would find someone special to take care of her.

However, Zou Bai rarely appeared in front of Chen Xiang. The two of them only saw each other a few times a year. He thought that what he had already done was enough for the sake of Chen Xiang’s father.

Later on, when Zou Bai took over the position of the patriarch, he went overseas alone to settle those abnormal movements. It was also at this time that his reputation of killing people like flies spread.

During this period of time, the two of them did not have any contact. Zou Bai had always thought that there was nothing going on between him and Chen Xiang.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this was not the case. Zou Bai, who did not get close to women, had been raising Chen Xiang. Perhaps he had his own thoughts.

As the only woman by Zou Bai’s side, Chen Xiang also received a lot of attention. Some people even used a large sum of money to ask her for help, thinking that she would definitely be able to speak up in front of Zou Bai.

After Zou Bai found out about this, he assigned Chen Xiang a bodyguard to prevent this from happening again. His true intention was for his own good, but outsiders only thought that he loved Chen Xiang and didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

This was something that no one mentioned, but everyone thought. Even the Intelligence Network couldn’t report something like this to the public. Zou Bai thought that he would be fine with it.

After graduating, Chen Xiang entered the Zou Corporation for an internship. At first, she had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. She even suggested staying by Zou Bai’s side to work.

However, most of the staff around Zou Bai were men. Although the people in the secretarial department were women, their work ability was top-notch in the industry. Chen Xiang’s standard really couldn’t fit in.

Therefore, Zou Bai asked Zou Yi to send a message to reject her. Chen Xiang was also very sensible and interned at the bottom level.

He thought that this was good. If Chen Xiang could support herself, he would be able to let go. However, less than two months later, the other party said that she wanted to act. This was her dream since she was young.

Of course, Zou Bai wouldn’t object. He went straight to the company to sign a contract with her and didn’t care about the rest.

However, from then on, he and Chen Xiang would always be pulled together, as if the two of them were bound together.

Zou Bai hated this feeling, but Chen Xiang took the initiative to look for him and admitted that she did it on purpose. Because of Zou Bai’s support, she wouldn’t be allowed to accompany him to drink.

After all, she was the daughter of his savior. In any case, he could protect her by spreading some rumors. Zou Bai might as well pretend that he didn’t know.

However, because of his attitude, the rumors became more and more intense until Wen Li heard them.

Wen Li was very happy that her son had a woman by his side. She felt that there would be another wedding at home soon, but this happiness did not last long..
