The other side.
Huo Yi was anxiously waiting in a car outside the same abandoned factory.
This time, he used a nanny car, equipped with a computer and other equipment, parked at the hidden exit on the left side of the abandoned factory.
âHow is it? Did you see anyone?â
As someone returned, he immediately pressed down on the personâs shoulder and asked.
The person shook their head, âNo, I didnât dare to get too close, afraid someone would spot me, and Miss Chi would be in danger.â
âWhereâs Butler Huo? Miss Chi hasnât sent a signal yet?â
Huo Yi took a deep breath, feeling his head splitting from pain, âNo.â
He regretted deeply not stopping Miss Chi in the morning and even letting her brainwash him into agreeing to her risky plan.
Itâs been almost three hours since the incident, and thereâs been no news from Miss Chi. If Master Jue finds out⦠Huo Yi shivered.
Just when he was burning with anxiety, the mobile phone rang.
Seeing the incoming calls display, he felt like dyingâcould it be that speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!
What to do?
Master Jue is callingâ¦
He was not just anxious now; cold sweat was pouring down his back. Holding the mobile phone, his face alternated between blue and white, quite a spectacle.
The phone kept ringing persistently a dozen times, yet he didnât dare not to answer. Taking a deep breath, he tried to make himself appear calm, answered the phone, âHello, Master Jue.â
âWhat are you doing!â Dominant, forceful! It was Li Beijueâs voice!
âUh, I⦠Iâm⦠Iâm making coffee for Miss Chi, didnât notice the phone vibrating. Master Jue, do you need anything?â Huo Yiâs forehead continuously dripped with sweat, thinking quickly on his feet.
It was the first time he lied to Li Beijue, feeling anxious inside, he almost bit his tongue with his teeth.
Fortunately, Li Beijue wasnât here. Otherwise, just by looking at his reaction, he would have known he was lying.
But Li Beijue wasnât here, so he couldnât see, and asked in a deep voice, âWhereâs Chi Enen? Why didnât she answer the phone?â
âUmâ¦â Huo Yi didnât expect heâd also called Miss Chi, and for a moment, he didnât know how to reply, âMiss⦠Miss Chi?â
Li Beijueâs voice carried a note of impatience, âArenât you making coffee for her? Let her answer the phone!â Damn it, how long has it been since he left, and that woman dares not to answer his call!
âMiss Chiâ¦â Huo Yi was now sweating not just from the forehead, his whole body was soaked, wishing he could die, in the blink of an eye, thought of hundreds of excuses, but under Li Beijueâs powerful pressure, every reason was stuck in his throat, unable to say a word.
âWhat happened to Chi Enen?â Li Beijue wasnât stupid, Huo Yiâs first hesitation might not arouse doubt, but hesitating again immediately tightened his heart, narrowing his eyes.
Huo Yiâs face alternated through seven colors, and hard-pressed, he squeezed out a sentence, âMiss Chi is taking a bath, so itâs inconvenient to answer the phone. Maybe, when Miss Chi finishes bathing, Iâll have her call you back?â
If he hadnât hesitated then, Li Beijue might have believed his excuse, but he hesitated too much just now, and Li Beijue was already in doubt.
He was originally a high IQ genius, once doubt arose, Huo Yiâs clumsy excuse could no longer deceive him, âIâll ask you one more time, what happened?â
Though the voice didnât sound angrier, Huo Yi no longer dared to hide it, recounting everything honestly to him.
