CHAPTER 562
Li Fengjin sighed and shut his eyes close. He admired her lack of fear amd how she trusts him like she should. But still. It was better to be aware, prepared and safe that to be sorry.
"I know you will not let anything happen to me. That and the fact that I may know who sent the message," she told.
"I have a clue too. But I need to be sure you are out of harms way first. I'm not letting what happened before to happen again," Li Fengjin shook his head.
"It won't happen. They just want to scare me so that I will leave the company and all other things that belongs to me and my mother by right. But I am not backing down. Not now, not ever."
Li Fengjin sighed and nodded. "I know. I don't want you to back down either. So let's do this. Our little Jin stays home, you will go to that meeting but the number of bodyguards with you would be more."
"There is no need for that. The ones ypu assigned to me are enough."
"They are enough... Enough to follow you. But the rest would guard the perimeter of wherever you are. They would report any strange movement to me."
He took her hands and added. "As for Lin Ying and her mysterious backer, I would have my eyes on them. So you just act according to your plan. Is that okay with you?"
Bai Renxiang nodded. She was not scared but she had to also listen to him. They should not take chances. There should be not room for any mistake leading to anything tragic.
"Good. I will notify Chaoxiang and the rest to have his men be extra careful and tighten their security. Then, I will call the school to inform them of our little Jin's absence and also of Ye Lee Ai," Li Fengjin said.
"Ok. I will take Xiaojin inside and tell dad and mum about this," Bai Renxiang agreed.
Li Fengjin held both sides of her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I will protect you, our son and family at all cost," he whispered.
"I know you will. I trust you," Bai Renxiang flashed him an assuring smile.
"Daddy, mummy, we are going to be late if you keep holding, kissing and looking at each other like that," Li Xiaojin scolded them and pouted.
It left them stunned and even Yimo was not spared.
"Now you are both staring. Hurry up," he sighed out.
Li Fengjin chuckled and shook his head. "Aigo! It has come to point of our son scolding us," he said.
"Well, life can be surprising," Bai Renxiang shrugged before pulling Li Fengjin with her.
On getting to the car, Li Fengjin crouched down to Li Xiaojin's level. Before he could say anything, the latter beat him to it.
"Daddy, don't always charm mummy. She will end up falling for you and things would start happening."
"Xiaojin where did you learn to talk like that?" Bai Renxiang gasped in disbelief and her face flushed a bit.
Li Fengjin chuckled. "Things like what?" He asked after tapping Li Xiaojin's little nose.
"Romantic things. And then mummy will statrt turning to a tomato."
"Hahaha," Li Fengjin laughed. His son is pro at observing and noting things.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go inside the house now, Xiaojin," Bai Renxiang butted in as she had had enough with her little treasure baby.
"Huh? Mummy has daddy made you forget that we are going to school and not back inside?" Li Xiaojin tilted his head to the side. He was confused.
"Pft... Hahaha."
"I can't believe this child of ours. That's it. You handle him, Fengjin. I will make the calls," Bai Renxiang said before she walked away from them to hide her heated face.
Li Fengjin laughed and shook his head. The matter at hand was serious but his son was cracking him up. Like seriously?
"Hah!" he let out a low sigh.
"Daddy is mummy alright?" Li Xiaojin could not help but ask.
"She is and what she said is correct. You will not be going to school today, little soldier."
<<Author: Another way he fondly calls Li Xiaojin>>
"Huh? But why?"
"Well, it is for your safety. Bad guys might go there and harm you if you are there," Li Fengjin explained.
"But I did not make any trouble with anyone. Why would bad guys come for me?" Li Xiaojin asked as he was still confused.
"It is not you, little soldier. Neither your mummy nor you did anything. Not even me. But there are peoole who are envious of mummy and are trying to stop her from taking what is hers."
Li Fengjin did his best to not make the whole situation scary for the little boy. Telling him that someone may be after his life would be too scary. So this way was better.
After all, it was still the truth.
"Are these people you are talking about from the Bai family? They are mummy's stepmother and stepsister, right?"
Li Fengjin was shocked. He had no idea how the boy knew. It was not as if they mentioned it in front of him before.
"I heard the both of you talking in the kitchen one day."
Li Fengjin sighed as his question had been answered. Well, since he knew it was not bad to tell him, right?
"Yes. They are the ones. But you don't have to be scared, okay? As far as you have me, nothing bad will happen to you or anyone else," Li Fengjin assured him.
Li Xiaojin nodded and looked over to where Bai Renxiang was making a phone call. He sighed reverted his gaze to the man in front of him.
"You have to protect mummy very well since you are the big one amongst the both of us, okay?" Li Xiaojin reminded him.
Li Fengjin smiled and nodded. He rubbed the latter's hair before taking him up as he stood.
"I promise to take care and protect of you both," he promised.
"Okay."
They waited for a while for Bai Renxiang to finish with the phone call. After that, they went bqck inside and explained briefly to the elder Li couple.
The elder Li couple got angry as soon as they were informed of the news. Of course they would be.
Which good parents or in-laws would not get angry and even worried of the fact that their daughter-in-law was threatened? Especially if the daughter-in-law in question was the best.
That being all settled and after lots of adsurance of their saftey, they finally left to Bai Renxiang's place of work.
~At the branch company of Jiang Corporation~
Words coupd not describe what the employees of the company were feeling. Was it shock? How about fewling surprised? It was unclear.
Well one cannot blame them.
It was not a new thing for them to see Li Fengjin dropping their boss, his wife off at her place of work. But it was the first time they saw him come in with their boss.
Normally, he would help her out of the car and wait for her to go. At times it was the reverse. Bai Renxiang would wait for him to go. But him directly walking her into yhe building was new.
"If you had let me do this from time in memorial, your employees would have nit been in so much shock," Li Fengjin said in a low voice.
They were currently walking to the elevator to go up to the executive floor. And the stares they had gotten on just the first floor was immense.
Bai Renxiang remained unfazed but a sigh left her lips. "I can't let you go late to work everytime you drop me off. Besides, I told you I would be fine from here. There are guards in every corner," she whispered back.
"Still. Let me accompany you. Be a good wife and enjoy your husband's loving amd caring gesture."
"Aside that, you just want to show off your status in my life and waen the 'male species' here," her voice was laced with sarcasm as she rolled her eyes.
Li Fengjin chuckled. "You surely know me well."
Son they reached the too floor which is yhe executive floor where the CEO's office and that of a few other executives. Tgey wasted no time in locating Bai Renxiang's office.
Jinhai and Xia Xinyi were there to greet them before they went in. When inside, Li Fengjin sat down on one of the couches while Bai Renxiang kept her things.
"I told Chen about the message and sent it to him. He is going to help us track down the number," Li Fengjin told her.
"That is a good idea too. It would make dealing with that mother and daughter pair easier. As well as the old lady."
She could not wait to see the faces of that oldie when everything becomes hers.
