Chapter 301 Desires of a Man
It was difficult to compare the two. Both Lu Jinye and Xie Xiu were leaders of their respective trades. But
both of them shared the same goal – to expand into each other’s field.
Mu Zhi had been using social media every day, but she wasn’t aware that she was living in a dark abyss.
Her activities on the internet and everything she did in the States were vigorously tracked and concealed
away.
She could search for what she wanted over the net, but her searches would be hidden from the rest of
the world. Nobody was able to trace her IP address, and nobody knew a thing about her life.
Unless she was the one who revealed it. Mu Zhi had never noticed such things. In the past five years,
her social circle was carefully designed by Xie Xiu to look simple and normal.
Lu Jinye’s team of technicians solved the algorithm and managed to identify Mu Zhi’s location.
With that, they also traced some of Mu Zhi’s activities.
One of them attracted Lu Jinye’s attention. Mu Zhi had consulted a psychologist behind Xie Xiu’s back
before.
It suggested that she’d had a track record of mental issues.

Seeing that, Lu Jinye could not help but engross himself in deep thoughts.
Then, he hurriedly looked through Mu Zhi’s life on social media.
Mu Zhi was not accustomed to sharing much of her life on social media platforms.
She had used the account for five years. Over the past five years, she mostly posted things about the
plays she went to, her views on life, or what skills she’d recently learned.
It was rather simple.
So simple that it was surreal.
The more Lu Jinye looked at her profile, the stranger he thought.
So, what exactly did Mu Zhi go through all these years?
After a series of investigation, he ordered his men to apply for a charter flight at once, then flew straight
to the city Mu Zhi resided from his investigation.
…
The following day.
Xie Xiu received an email early in the morning outlining Rao Xue’s whereabouts and urging him to make
his way to the location.
Upon ascertaining that Rao Xue’s location had been identified, he swiftly informed Mu Zhi and bade her
farewell.
He exhorted the servants to take good care of Mu Zhi and inform him if any issue arose.
Listening to his worried tone as he made arrangements to accommodate Mu Zhi, she could not resist
laughing at him. “Okay now, don’t make me feel like Eric, I was not born yesterday.” She said softly.
“In my eyes, you’re forever just a little girl.”
Xie Xiu looked at Mu Zhi with an affectionate smile before turning around and hopped into the helicopter.
As soon as he entered the chopper, the smile on his face disappeared into an apathetic expression.
Every tinge of delight vanished into the cold air clung onto him.
Mu Zhi stared at him as he left. After ensuring that he had left, she turned around and prepared to return
home, but someone suddenly sounded the doorbell.
She then turned back with a frown, only to see a woman standing before her. She wore a crimson red
coat to go with her scarlet lipstick. The snowy Los Angeles day gave her an exceptionally alluring
temperament.
Mu Zhi gazed at the woman doubtfully, “How can I help you?”
“I’m here for Xie Xiu.” The woman sized up Mu Zhi with judgmental eyes.
“What are you looking for him for?”
“He hasn’t paid me my alimony this month.” Uttered the woman.
Mu Zhi got even more confused.
Based on her understanding of Xie Xiu, she surmised that the woman must have come from the
orphanage and that Xie Xiu would consistently donate money to her.
“Which orphanage do you belong to?” Asked Mu Zhi with a curious frown.
“Hohoho, do I look like a beggar to you?” The woman cackled sardonically.
Mu Zhi was shocked by the woman’s sudden burst of laughter. She said in embarrassment, “That’s not
what I meant, may I know who you are to my husband?”
She reworded her question to sound a little more polite.
“Bed buddies.”
The woman responded with a simple two-worded answer.
Mu Zhi gaped her eyes at her in disbelief.
For some reason, she could feel fear come over her when she made eye contact with the woman.
Seeing that Mu Zhi was shocked, the woman sniggered, “What’s the matter? Is it shocking? Your man
looks like the perfect man who loves you wholeheartedly, but he is after all a man. Men have desires. Is it
so strange to look for another woman to fix his cravings?”
The flurry of words uttered by the woman almost drove Mu Zhi mad.
She instantly became pale in the face.
The Mu Zhi now was too gullible to hide her emotions. All she could do was find a hiding spot anxiously
while the woman witnessed her rattled state.
Rao Xue felt even more pathetic for her.
This lady was truly one of a kind among every one of Xie Xiu’s fleet of women.

Xie Xiu’s women were always trained to be killing machines. They were independent and would never
reveal their flustered side like Mu Zhi right now, even when they were underage.
Paradoxically, this fully-grown adult was having an emotional meltdown.
Mu Zhi’s expression told Rao Xue that she had been living in a perfect world. She was always protected,
never harassed or hurt by anyone.
So that she could stay naïve like a little girl for life.
Rao Xue could not accept it.
She must let Mu Zhi experience what she went through all these years.
“Sorry, please leave. I don’t believe your words.”
Mu Zhi finished what she needed to say, turned around, and planned to leave.
But the woman reached out to seize Mu Zhi’s wrist.
Mu Zhi retracted her hand out of instincts.
She shuffled away from Rao Xue and then scrambled to run into the house.
Behind Mu Zhi came the woman’s persistent voice, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Xie Xiu if
he has the desires of a man? Ask him how he manages his desires. You should understand your
husband. He is born an insatiable man.”
Mu Zhi picked up her pace.
She pressed both palms against her ears attempted to block the woman’s voice.
Every word she spoke felt like a piercing knife stabbed into her heart.
How does he manage his desires?
Xie Xiu is born an insatiable man.
Oh heavens, what is she talking about?!
Mu Zhi did not dare picture Rao Xue’s words, let alone applying them to Xie Xiu!
To her knowledge, Xie Xiu was her tolerant, patient, and respected husband.
It was impossible of him to be anything like the woman described.
Mu Zhi dashed into her room and sat on the couch restlessly.
She gulped down a few mouthfuls of water and had steadied herself when she saw the butler walk past
her room. Mu Zhi stopped the butler out of the blue and questioned him, “Butler, let me ask you, what
kind of a person is Mr. Xie Xiu?”
