My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 807 807: Parents May Still Be Alive

On the way back, Lin Wanxi reminded, "Last time, I remember you said that among the families that infiltrated your home to search for research materials, there was also the Zhao Family, a second-tier family."

"During this period, I haven't seen you take action against the Zhao Family. Are you not planning to pursue them?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "It's not the right time yet, or rather, the Zhao Family is not the main focus of our investigation."

Up until now, the families that had visited the Chen Family possessed very limited information.

The Zhu Family and the Chang Family are typical examples; they both searched the Chen Family but found nothing.

From this, it can be inferred that the Patriarch of the Zhao Family and the other two family heads probably know just as little.

Going to question the Zhao Family rashly wouldn't be very effective and might even inadvertently leak information.

It's not a wise choice.

Chen Xuan briefly shared his thoughts, "Right now, we need to focus all our efforts on investigating the Xu Family; that's the priority."

"Regardless of how much information the Xu Family holds, because of Xu Chengliang's involvement, they are involved to some extent."

"We'll decide how to handle the Xu Family based on how significant a role they play."

Lin Wanxi nodded slightly, "Yes, I completely agree with you."

"We can put investigating the Zhao Family on hold. But I do want to throw a cold splash on your thoughts; don't think of it too simply."

"You have done a favor for the Luo Family, so they are certainly on your side. It's really convenient to use them to intimidate second and third-tier families since the opponents won't dare to resist."

"But don't forget, the Xu Family is also a first-tier family, on par with the Luo Family in strength! If you're still counting on the Luo Family to confront the Xu Family, it may not be immediately effective."

"When two tigers fight, both get hurt! Even if the Luo Family appreciates your favor, they may not rashly go to war with the Xu Family for you."

Chen Xuan chuckled; Lin Wanxi's thoughts were very forward-thinking but didn't quite grasp his true strength.

She still thought he was flaunting his power in Jiangnan City by relying on the Luo Family.

Little did she know, the Luo Family was willing to play the vanguard for him.

Without the Luo Family's help, he wouldn't even consider the Xu Family a threat.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

"As long as I've decided to do this, I won't see the Xu Family as a concern."

Chen Xuan gave Lin Wanxi a slight smile, "If it weren't for investigating the true culprits of the blood incident involving my parents and not wanting to alert them, any family I wanted to deal with wouldn't have any power to resist."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxi grinned, feeling Chen Xuan was a bit too confident.

But having been with him for this long, she wouldn't easily doubt his capabilities.

Anything he said, he never went back on his word.

"Alright, I won't say more. As long as it's something you've set your mind on, I'll support you unconditionally."

"I hope we can find out the truth soon and identify the true culprits, for your parents..."

Lin Wanxi suddenly stopped, not saying the word "revenge," feeling it was inappropriate.

Her expression shifted, and she said softly, "Chen Xuan, I think... your parents might not have been killed. There's still a fifty percent chance they're alive, just imprisoned somewhere."

Chen Xuan's eyes brightened; he had considered this but hadn't voiced it.

It was Lin Wanxi who brought it up.

"Do you think so too?" Chen Xuan looked at her.

Lin Wanxi nodded solemnly, "According to our analysis, there are only two scenarios."

"One, they want your parents' research technology, two, they have a grudge with your parents."

"If it's the first scenario, whoever kidnapped your parents has no reason to kill them. With them dead, they'd gain nothing."

"Even if your parents refuse to comply, I believe they wouldn't take their lives easily but would imprison them to force them to yield."

"The second scenario is less optimistic; if there's a grudge, then... the chances of your parents surviving are small. But considering both, your parents still have a fifty percent chance of surviving!"

At this, Lin Wanxi looked at him, "Chen Xuan, we should hold onto some hope. Maybe your parents are really alive, right?"

"Don't be too pessimistic, and don't immediately start talking about avenging your parents! If they're still alive, what revenge is there to take! Our efforts are merely to rescue them from their predicament! Don't you agree?"

Chen Xuan was amused by Lin Wanxi, "That's right, you're quite right."

"Wanxi, you've been really considerate. Actually, what you said, it boils down to one purpose: to fill my heart with hope, not to be blinded by hatred and become a cold-blooded killer."

Lin Wanxi smiled warmly, "You're smart; you even figured that out."

"Let's go home; Shanshan is still waiting for us at home. I wonder how she managed dinner tonight."

The two hurried home, Chen Xuan's heart filled with turmoil. Are his parents truly still alive?

If the two elders are still alive, where are they being held?

And how should he go about rescuing them...
