He was about to switch to another story, when he looked down and found the little lady, who had previously refused to rest, had quietly closed her eyes, seeming to have fallen asleep.
âFrom now on, the prince and princess lived a happy lifeâ¦â
He softened his voice, noticing that the person beside him breathed evenly and showed no signs of waking.
âChi Enen?â
The person in her sleep seemed to be resting uneasily, for even in slumber, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was even more pale and delicate.
His chest felt as though it had been harshly punched, suffocatingly so.
He slowly raised his arm, slowing his movements. Without waking the person on the bed, who had barely managed to fall asleep, he carefully got up from the bed.
âNuonuoâ¦â A murmured word spilled from her pale lips, and her pallid face display an expression of anxiety again.
Li Beijue lowered his head, kissed her lips, and whispered firmly into her ear, âChi Enen, Iâm back. Leave the rest to me. Stop thinking about it.â
He had said this countless times today, but he had to say it.
Others might not see it, but he saw itâChi Enen was just putting on a brave face. She wasnât calm or composed, she was forcing herself not to collapse! She had been pushing herself to go without sleep, food, or drink for 48 hours! Her physical strength had reached its limit, she needed to rest. Otherwise, the next person to collapse would really be her!
Perhaps it was his voice that she heard, the restless sleeper moved slightly, and her sleeping face looked a bit more peaceful.
Li Beijue stood beside the bed, silently watching her for a while, as if imprinting her image in his mind. His deep contours gradually hardened, he clenched his fist, turned and walked out of the ward, and on his way out, he closed the ward doorâ
â¦
In a nearby room.
Si Chen and Huo Yi were still waiting for him. Seeing him coming, they approached with concern, âBeijue, how is it? Did Enen agree to rest?â
âIs Miss Chi alright?â
âSheâs asleep.â
Si Chen and Huo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, âThatâs great.â
Especially Si Chen, these past two days were truly terrifying for him. First, Nuonuo had a high fever, then Nuonuo was stolen, followed by Chi Enen refusing to rest, staying vigilantly at the intersection surveillance⦠If Chi Enen collapsed too, heâd be on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Li Beijue didnât look at him, he sat down, his handsome face stern, his falcon-like eyes filled with fierceness, âTell me the specifics of that day.â
âIâll tell you, Young Master Si.â
Huo Yi remembered more vividly than Si Chen, and was better at describing. Throughout the process, he described each detail calmly, with few personal emotions involved.
Si Chen gazed at him in amazement.
Indeed a person trained by the Li family, just this capability alone could indeed make him Beijueâs left and right arm.
âSo, you pulled up the surveillance and saw a suspicious car leaving the hospital, but when you followed up, the car just disappeared. There was no sign of that car on any potential intersection surveillance?â
âYes, we reviewed all the surveillance. Enen even leveraged her connections to access major intersectionâs surveillance, but we couldnât spot that car anywhere. Itâs as if it vanished into thin air, absolutely untraceable.â
âCould they have changed the plate number?â
âEnen also considered that possibility, but the problem is, we tracked down every car of the same model seen in the same time period, and none were that car.â
