Kim Zhiyuan bit her lower lip, bent down to pick up her shoes, took one last look at the tall and handsome man, and said, "No need to bother, Iâll go back myself. Goodbye."
After speaking, she turned around and walked away.
The night stretched her silhouette long and far...
Xi Zelie watched her departing figure, standing for a long time.
minutes later, two black-clothed bodyguards respectfully appeared by his side, lowered their heads, and said, "Young Master Lie, you still have injuries, the doctor has mentioned that you shouldnât catch a cold. The seaside winds are strong, please return to the hotel first. The Princess is waiting for you to have dinner together."
Xi Zelie withdrew his gaze and indifferently said, "Tell her I wonât be going tonight, let her eat by herself."
He paused, furrowed his eyebrows, and added, "Also, arrange another hotel for me."
"Young Master Lie? You want to move out of the hotel prepared by the Princess, her side..." the Bodyguard said worriedly.
Xi Zelieâs identity was extraordinary, with the family infighting in the Xize family being so severe, Young Master Lie was alone in Country W, and without complete security facilities, he might encounter danger.
Having the Princessâs protection would be perfect.
Moving out at this time undoubtedly exposed himself to danger, especially since he was still injured and his body hadnât fully recovered.
"You donât need to worry, Iâll talk to her, just arrange it for me!" His tone was calm, yet carried a sense of pressure that made one dare not oppose.
Though the Bodyguard didnât agree, he still lowered his head and said, "Yes, Young Master Lie."
"Also, howâs the task I gave you coming along? The surveillance video? Did you get it?" After the banquet ended, the first thing he did was ask people to get the hotelâs surveillance video. That way, he could quickly find out who let the people into the banquet.
As he mentioned this, the two bodyguards lowered their heads, exchanged glances, and bravely said, "Well... Young Master Lie, we didnât get the video. The hotel said it was taken away by Master Jueâs people immediately."
Li Beijue had already taken it?
Xi Zelieâs eyebrows tightened and then relaxed.
Since Li Beijue had taken it, it meant he thought the same thing.
With Li Beijue involved, if there was anything in that video, Li Beijue likely wouldnât let it go.
"I understand." Xi Zelie lowered his eyebrows and eyes.
"Young Master Lie, now..." the Bodyguard hesitated to speak.
Xi Zelie understood their meaning. His left leg had been hurting all day, the place injured from the previous car accident aching vaguely. He had deliberately ignored it before, but now that he stopped, the pain in his left leg became increasingly prominent. Not wanting to delay any further, he said, "Letâs go."
"Yes." The Bodyguard visibly sighed in relief, guarding him closely on both sides.
It wasnât that they were overly anxious; it was truly too risky for Young Master Lie to come to Country W this time!
In Country W, the power of the Great Master was already somewhat dominant. Young Master Lie had only recently returned to the family and had only cleared the forces back home. It was not appropriate for him to come to Country W right now, especially in such a risky manner.
Yet, Young Master Lie insisted on it for some reason, defying the danger to come.
Since he came, he hadnât planned to go back.
Be aware that the longer Young Master Lie stayed in Country W, the greater the risk. Once the Great Master found out that Young Master Lie was in Country W and was still recovering from injuries, he would surely seize the opportunity to counterattack. With their limited number, they truly couldnât adequately protect Young Master Lieâs safety.
Nevertheless, Young Master Lie persistently wanted to remain in Country W, and they had no choice but to do their utmost to ensure his safety!
