Murong Ye hesitated for a while, then said to Murong Yunxi, "Have a seat, Xiao Xi."

Murong Yunxi was confused. When she saw that Murong Ye was so serious, she was a little curious about what was going to happen.

She sat down in the chair opposite Murong Ye with her hands casually laying on the table, holding her chin up as she looked at Murong Ye seriously.

"Do you know what the Murong Family did to get the business started, Xiao Xi?"

Murong Yunxi gently shook her head.

Murong Ye paused for a moment, then rose and went to the window, looking at the view outside. "Once the Murong Family fell into decline for a period, and it can be said that at that time, the Murong Family was in their poorest period in history. There was a man named Murong Hao who was our grandfather's father.

"At that time, he had two brothers. The second brother was a boorish man. The third brother was a scholar with high intelligence. Murong Hao was not willing to let the Murong Family fall. At that time, there was a gang called Qing Fu. The gang leader was a man named Si Ye. Murong Hao once had saved Si Ye accidentally. Si Ye was grateful to him and thought highly of him, so he took Murong Hao as his a.s.sistant. Unexpectedly, Murong Hao did a great job. He a.s.sisted Si Ye to take good care of his business, so he became his right-hand man.

"However, the son of Si Ye was very jealous, so he asked someone to slander Murong Hao in front of Si Ye. Once, Si Ye was stabbed in the back by his enemies. Because he didn't believe Murong Hao, he directly fell into the enemy's trap. After Si Ye died, his son took over his business, but he didn't do it well. The gang members were very dissatisfied. Si Ye's son always treated Murong Hao as an eyesore. Murong Hao then made plans to set up his own business, but he didn't expect that so many people in the gang would love to work for him.

"Then, Murong Hao founded the Murong Gang on his own. His second brother had courage and his third brother had wisdom. With so many former gangsters, the Murong Gang was soon established. His gang grew really fast and he became the boss.

"Murong's son, Murong Fuqing, went abroad to study and learned some new ideas in the United States. After he graduated, he developed the power of the United States and even expanded his power and business to include arms, mercenaries, a.s.sa.s.sins, and smuggling... His business excelled in many areas. The only thing they didn't touch was drugs. That was Murong Hao's principle.

"The Murong Gang was, for a while, the trump card of the global underworld. That was until our father's generation, when the Murong Gang's biggest rival, the Hai Long Gang, lost one of their business deals because of the Murong Gang. Actually, it was not because the Murong Gang took it away from them, but the Murong Gang was really better at doing business than them. So the customer chose the Murong Gang. But the Hai Long Gang didn't see it that way. They took their revenge on the Murong Gang, sending a.s.sa.s.sins to kill our mother and father.

"During the murder attempt, our mother went into labor, so she went to the hospital to give birth to you. Then she was afraid that you would get hurt, so she left you in the hospital and ran out of the hospital alone, thinking that she could pick you up after everything was over.

"But Mom did not expect that her life would come to an end at that time. Because Mom died, our father was very sad. So he swore that he would stay away from the underworld, keeping his family away from harm and death.

"After that, Dad disbanded the Murong Gang, turning the Murong Gang into the Murong Family. He continued to do legitimate business, cutting all ties to the underworld business, only leaving the mercenary and killer organization. He wanted to be able to defend himself. The Murong Family had so many enemies before, so he had to be able to defend himself. The mercenary and killer organization remained in the United States.

"So that's why I said that going to the US can be dangerous."

Murong Ye seriously told her everything about their family from the past until now with no emotion.

For a moment, Murong Yunxi was at a loss for words about the information she had just received. If this was in a movie or on the news, she would be totally fine. But when it came to herself, although she was not so conservative, it was hard for her to accept when all the things that seemed to happen only in movies suddenly happened to her.

Murong Ye slightly raised his eyebrow as he walked over to Murong Yunxi. He stretched out to knead Murong Yunxi's hair, asking softly, "What's wrong? Is it too much for you to accept?"

Murong Yunxi looked at Murong Ye with a dazed expression. "Well, it's not unacceptable, but I don't know how to deal with it. If it were a TV drama, film, or novel, I think it would be totally acceptable. But you suddenly told me that this is the reality. And I live in this reality. I really don't know how to..."

"It's all right. I won't force you. If you can't accept it, you don't have to! The Murong Family is different from the Murong Gang. The Murong Family is now was almost clean. But you should be aware that it's important to keep those two sections in America. The Murong Family must be able to defend itself. People will always envy our powerful property. And we also have enemies who have wanted to take us down for a long time. Without these sections, the Murong Family would be destroyed at any minute."

"Yes, I understand that. Give me some time to accept it. I think I can live with that!"

Murong Ye looked at Murong Yunxi with great care. His sister was the person that he valued the most in the world. If she couldn't accept all this, he would take all the responsibilities, and keep her away from the conflicts.

"But, brother, are you also the boss of the underworld now?" Murong Yunxi opened her eyes wide with curiosity, making her so cute like a curious baby.

Murong Ye rolled his eyes, then frowned and gently knocked on her head. "You think you're watching a Hong Kong movie? Silly girl. I'm doing legitimate business!"

"Oh? But your legitimate business includes a mercenary and killer organization!" Murong Yunxi smiled playfully. She looked so naughty and thought it was funny.

Murong Ye rolled his eyes at Murong Yunxi and turned back to his seat, pretending to be angry. "Fine, go home now. I have to get to work!"

"Are you angry?" Murong Yunxi came forward to affectionately hold Murong Ye. His broad shoulders made her feel that he was the one she could rely on. She felt so rea.s.sured with her brother around.

"Come on, I'm just kidding!" Murong Yunxi acted cutesily. She didn't act cutesy very often, even though she was quite young, maybe because she already had a daughter now. But right now, she felt that she was still a little sister who needed her brother's care.

"OK. I know you are joking. It's OK. Go home." Murong Ye softened his tone and gently patted Murong Yunxi's hand, looking at her bright eyes.

That day, Fourth came to Murong Ye's villa and began to train Murong Yunxi. This training session not only trained her physical ability, strength, and martial arts, but he also gave her additional shooting lessons.

On the shooting range—

Murong Xi Yun picked up a gun to play with it for a while, then raised the gun toward the bullseye and shot.

Fourth froze for a while when looking at Murong Yunxi's smooth action. Then he saw that Murong Yunxi had unexpectedly shot seven points once, eight points twice, nine points four times, and 10 points three times.

Fourth was looking at Murong Yunxi in surprise with a different feeling in his blue eyes. "Have you learned to shoot before?"

"I didn't really learn it, but when I was in military training in school, I had a chance to touch on it. There were shooting programs, but the instructors just let us experience it. They didn't teach us much. They just showed us the basic movements and essentials."

"Oh? And you can just do it like that?"

"I couldn't get used to it at first, but after I got used to it, it felt good!"

"Again!"

Fourth put a new clip in the gun and handed the gun to Murong Yunxi.

This time, Murong Yunxi scored nine points four times and 10 points six times.

Fourth became more excited. He changed the clip and handed it to Murong Yunxi again. This time, he didn't let Murong Yunxi do the shooting herself. Instead, he stood behind her with one hand on her waist and the other on her hand.

"Keep it straight here. And keep it in line with the gun here with wrist power. And push..."

He directed Murong Yunxi for a while, then narrowed his eyes, coldly telling Murong Yunxi near her ear, "Great! Shoot!"

Under the instruction of Fourth, Murong Yunxi followed his lead and pulled the trigger again. "Bang, bang, bang..." Only the sound of shooting could be heard.

10 shots later, Murong Yunxi laid down her arms and touched his hand accidentally.

Fourth felt like he was just shocked by the electricity. He immediately moved his arms away to avoid her. But that electric-shock-like feeling still left a strange feeling in his heart.

And also at this moment, Fourth was just surprised to find that he was so close to Murong Yunxi. The distance between them was just the width of a piece of paper. Murong Yunxi could even feel his breath behind her. The great, soft smell of shampoo in her hair lingered. Fourth was a little obsessed with that. He kept looking at her, only to see her long and thick eyelashes, a bright light s.h.i.+ning in her eyes, and smooth and fair skin, which was so attractive like tasty jelly.

It was the first time that he got to see Murong Yunxi from so close. And he suddenly found her so charming and gorgeous. He never thought that any woman would get his attention, but now, he was attracted by this little woman in his arms.

And it was also the first time he found that the feeling of his heart-pounding uncontrollably was so amazing. He was even a little panicked. This was a feeling that he had only had when he was a child. But now, he, as a calm and rational grown-up, could taste that feeling.

At this moment, Fourth didn't know what to do. He seemed to have some different and strange reactions...
