Upon hearing Hu Baibai's words, Shen Wanfu's expression suddenly froze.

For a moment, she was filled with doubt about the truth of these words.

However, upon closer reflection, given the strength and aura that Fox White has displayed, it seems there is indeed no need for him to lie to himself.

Immediately, Shen Wanfu couldn't help but turn her gaze to Xu Xianwen on the floor again.

Looking at the body that was gradually losing its temperature and becoming cold and stiff, she felt that it was all like a dream, so unreal that it was hard to believe.

Xu Xianwen, the highly anticipated next successor of the prestigious Xu family, usually wields great power and influence.

At this moment, he died silently and unremarkably in this small room.

Just now, in the instant Xu Xianwen turned to leave, a fleeting thought of killing crossed Shen Wanfu's mind.

But she never expected that, in just a few seconds, Xu Xianwen would actually die.

What horrified her even more was that the murderer who killed Xu Xianwen showed no sign of flinching or fleeing; instead, he swaggered and brazenly appeared before her.

This sudden turn of events made Shen Wanfu feel extremely uneasy, and her fear and anxiety grew stronger, which she could not hide at all.

"You seem afraid of me?"

Fox White took in all the changes in Shen Wanfu's expression. Her fiery red lips parted slightly as she spoke softly.

Shen Wanfu did not directly answer the question, but the undisguised fear on her face said it all.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Fox White stretched lazily, her movements languid and alluring, a faint smile playing on her lips as she spoke.

Shen Wanfu's expression, which had been filled with fear, froze instantly. She looked up at the charming and beautiful woman before her, her eyes full of confusion, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Do I need a reason not to kill you?"

Fox White glanced at her sideways, his tone casual.

Shen Wanfu pondered those words silently, then said with a serious expression and unwavering certainty, "Yes, it's necessary!"

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in Hu Baibai's eyes, as if she hadn't expected Shen Wanfu to be so persistent about this reason.

Then, she couldn't help but laugh, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell: "If you absolutely have to give a reason, then consider it for my sake, or perhaps... it's him."

As she spoke, Hu Baibai stretched out her slender fingers and gently pointed to Xu Xianwen, who was lying quietly on the floor, lifeless.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, falling into a suffocating silence.

After a while, Shen Wanfu still couldn't suppress her doubts and asked again, "May I ask who your husband is, senior?"

In Shen Wanfu's mind, the reason why the mysterious figure in front of her neither killed her nor appeared in front of her openly was probably hidden in the husband she mentioned.

Perhaps she knew her husband, which is why she was being lenient with him.

Upon hearing this, Hu Baibai immediately understood Shen Wanfu's thoughts. She simply smiled and said, "My husband is an excellent person."

Fox White would not easily reveal Shen Shuchou's name, knowing that would only bring unnecessary trouble to her master.

Shen Wanfu understood the meaning behind Hu Baibai's words, and wisely stopped asking questions.

He then mentioned Xu Xianwen with concern: "Does the senior know that he is a member of the Xu family?"

"What difference does it make whether you know or not?"

Fox White replied calmly and in a detached tone.

"He was a direct descendant of the Xu family. Now that he is dead here, the Xu family will definitely make a big fuss and stir up a big storm."

Shen Wanfu then shared her speculations about the Xu family's next moves.

However, to her great surprise, Hu Baibai did not show any change in expression after hearing these words, as if the Xu family's power was insignificant in her eyes.

Not only that, but Fox Whitey's eyes, shimmering like spring water, glanced at her gently.

Then, he casually uttered a sentence, his tone as nonchalant as if discussing a trivial matter: "The Xu family? Are they very powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanfu's words, which were on the tip of her tongue, were instantly blocked by an invisible stone, stuck in her throat, and she could no longer speak.

"However, you have indeed reminded me."

As soon as Hu Baibai finished speaking, she slowly stood up from the sofa, her elegant posture exuding a chilling aura.

Immediately, Hu Baibai raised her jade-like hand, and a wisp of crimson demonic fire shot out from her fingertips, landing directly on Xu Xianwen's corpse.

Shen Wanfu, who witnessed this scene, was suddenly startled.

In the blink of an eye, that demonic fire devoured Xu Xianwen's body completely, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

Finally, the demonic fire gradually condensed, eventually forming a dazzling red bead.

The bead emitted an eerie light, appearing exceptionally strange against the backdrop of the demonic fire.

Then, the bead slowly floated up and gently landed in Fox White's hand.

This red bead is a unique object formed from Xu Xianwen's soul and bloodline under the unparalleled high temperature and mysterious power of the Heavenly Demon Fire.

This bead is a product of the Heavenly Demon Fire refining its soul and bloodline, and contains the bloodline imprint of the Xu family.

Like a living compass, it can point out the location of the Xu family's main camp to Hu Baibai.

After completing this series of actions, Fox White planned to leave.

Of course, she didn't immediately follow the guidance of her bloodline to the Xu family.

After all, there's a little girl named Qianqiu at home who's waiting for her to come back. If Qianqiu can't sense her presence, she might rush over anxiously.

"I've temporarily sealed off this space; you'd better leave as soon as possible."

After whispering these last words to Shen Wanfu, Hu Baibai swayed her graceful waist, her beautiful figure gradually blurring until she disappeared from Shen Wanfu's sight.

After Hu Baibai left, Shen Wanfu seemed to have all her strength drained away, and fell into a long silence.

The air around her seemed to freeze, so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly came to her senses, and as if she had mustered up her courage, she slowly took out her phone from her bosom.

My finger slid across the screen, eventually stopping on a number, and then I gently pressed it.

Half a minute later, the call was finally connected, and a steady male voice quickly came through the receiver: "What's wrong?"

At the same time, there were some noisy human voices mixed in with the sound.

"dad!"

Although Shen Wanfu tried her best to keep her voice calm, the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone still keenly caught the undisguised unease in her words.

On the other end of the phone was a middle-aged man in a sharp suit; he was Shen Wanfu's father, Shen Jiaxuan.

At this moment, he couldn't help but frown, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Realizing his daughter might be in trouble, he immediately stood up and hurriedly left the noisy conference room.

He paid no attention to the surprised looks from his colleagues.

Only when they reached a quiet, secluded corner, where the surroundings were still, did he bring the phone back to his ear, asking with concern, "What happened?"

Hearing her father's familiar and concerned voice on the phone, Shen Wanfu's uneasy heart felt as if it had found a reliance, and gradually calmed down a little.

"Dad! I have good news and bad news."

Shen Wanfu said cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaxuan on the other end of the phone frowned even more, his tone slightly reproachful as he said, "Shen Wanfu, what trouble have you gotten me into now?"

As a father, he knew Shen Wanfu's personality well; she was sometimes too impulsive and would inevitably cause trouble.

Shen Wanfu pursed her lips slightly, her lips looking a little pale. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "I've found my third uncle's son."

Upon hearing this, a slight gasp came from the other end of the phone. Shen Jiaxuan's pupils contracted sharply, and his face was filled with shock.

He had been secretly searching for his third brother's son for many years, and now that he had received definite news, how could he not be excited?

He quickly pressed, "Are you sure?"

"It's certain."

Shen Wanfu answered firmly.

"Where is he now? Is he doing well?"

Shen Jiaxuan couldn't wait to continue asking questions, and a series of questions came out of his mouth.

"fine."

Shen Wanfu gave a brief reply, but her tone was clearly somewhat absent-minded.

Shen Jiaxuan, who was on the other end of the phone, was very perceptive and immediately noticed his daughter's absent-mindedness. He then asked, "That's good news, so what's the bad news?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanfu hesitated for a few seconds, as if gathering her courage, before slowly saying, "Xu Xianwen is dead."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaxuan was slightly taken aback, quickly searching his mind for the name Xu Xianwen.

For a moment I couldn't remember who it was. I was just about to ask who Xu Xianwen was, and what did it matter that he was dead?

But then, Shen Wanfu's voice came through the phone again: "He is the direct descendant of the Xu family, Xu Changfeng's son."

Shen Jiaxuan fell silent instantly, perhaps unable to recall who Xu Xianwen was for the moment.

But as soon as the name Xu Changfeng was uttered, he immediately understood. Xu Changfeng was none other than the powerful patriarch of the Xu family.

"Who killed him?"

A moment later, Shen Jiaxuan's words, tinged with a sigh, came through the phone receiver.

Based on his understanding of his daughter, he knew very well that Xu Xianwen's death was most likely related to Shen Wanfu.

Shen Wanfu knew that hiding it was useless at this moment, so she simply and decisively told the whole story without reservation.

After listening to the whole story, Shen Jiaxuan tightened his grip on the phone and fell into a long silence.

For a moment, only Shen Wanfu's slightly rapid breathing could be heard on both ends of the phone.

"Dad! What should we do now!"

Shen Wanfu's anxious shouts rang out again, breaking the oppressive silence.

"Come back first, let's talk about this face to face."

After a moment's thought, Shen Jiaxuan spoke calmly.

He needed time to sort out his thoughts, and also felt that the matter was too complicated to explain clearly over the phone.

"What about Shen Shuchou?"

Shen Wanfu then asked.

Upon hearing the name Shen Shuchou, Shen Jiaxuan was slightly dazed.

This name is too similar to that of his third brother, Shen Shuche, differing by only one character.

His third brother, Shen Shuche, is now one of the most influential figures in the Shen family.

Shen Jiaxuan knew in his heart that, given his third brother Shen Shuche's current attitude, even if he knew that his son was still alive, he probably wouldn't easily accept him.

After all, it was Shen Shuche who made the decision to abandon Shen Shuchou back then.

His own years of secretly searching for Shen Shuchou were not for Shen Shuche, but for a promise he made to Shen Shuchou's birth mother.

The name Shen Shuchou is filled with deep hatred for the Shen family, especially for his current third brother, Shen Shuche.

"Return to Suzhou after this matter has calmed down."

Shen Jiaxuan continued speaking methodically.

"Um!"

Shen Wanfu responded softly with a helpless sigh.

Now she understands that this is indeed the best option at present.

Meanwhile, Fox White quickly returned home.

As she stepped into the villa's courtyard, a petite and delicate figure slowly emerged from the shadows cast by the lamplight at the gate.

Who else could this figure be but Jiang Qianqiu?

She stood there quietly, exuding an indescribable aloofness.

"Oh dear! Little Chiaki is waiting for her older sister."

Fox White's face instantly lit up with a bright smile as she warmly greeted him.

Jiang Qianqiu, however, had a gloomy face, pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent.

Her dark, deep eyes held her emotions, and she stared intently at Hu Baibai's exquisite face without blinking.

"What's wrong! Who made my little Qianqiu unhappy?"

Fox White took in the emotions in Jiang Qianqiu's eyes, but still pretended not to know, deliberately smiling and asking a question she already knew the answer to.

Her smile held a hint of indulgence; she was already used to Jiang Qianqiu's little temper.
