"Proceed with legal proceedings, but keep it low-key."
Proceed with legal proceedings, but keep it low-key? Huo Yi wasnât stupid; a quick thought and he understood what she meant.
It meant that Scarlett was definitely going to prison, but it wouldnât be made public to the media. The royal family would conceal this scandal somehow, and they wouldnât notify the media about it.
"Duke Habsden..."
As if knowing what he was going to ask, Chi Enen answered without letting him finish, "Little Uncle and Prince William are discussing business matters."
Prince William hopes that the Habsden family will not suspend trade with Country W, but on this matter, Little Uncle is particularly persistent. Itâs unclear what the final outcome of their negotiation will be. Anyway, Chi Enen wasnât worried about Quan Dongting suffering any loss because she knew her Little Uncleâs ability!
Huo Yiâs only concern was also laid to rest. He seemed even more nervous than Chi Enen, letting out a long breath. His stern face showed a look of relief, "Finally, things are satisfactorily resolved. It only took 5 days, with 25 days left until the one month promised to Old Master Jue. The Little Young Master and Little Miss would certainly be very happy to know."
Especially the Little Young Master; he would definitely be the happiest of all.
Chi Enen relaxed her eyebrows and eyes, rubbed her previously tense cheeks, and said, "Iâm afraid not so quickly; I still have some follow-ups to handle. Itâll only count as resolved once everything is completely dealt with."
"By the way, does Li Beijue know about this incident?" She suddenly remembered and asked.
The question left Huo Yi stunned. He then realized that since he first met Chi Enen, he had forgotten to report to Master Jue that Miss Chi was safe and sound.
It wasnât until Chi Enen mentioned it that he remembered Master Jue...
Huo Yiâs back stiffened, a flash of regret crossed his face as he quickly said, "Master Jue... Master Jue... already knows about your risky actions, Miss Chi."
"Li Beijue knows?!" Chi Enen imagined the reaction of that man upon finding out what she had done, and she felt terrible all over.
"Hereâs what happened: after you had a âcar accident,â Master Jue called you, but you didnât answer. So, he called me..." He paused, looking guiltily at Chi Enen, "I tried to hide it from Master Jue for you, but he found out anyway. Iâm sorry, Miss Chi."
Chi Enen could imagine the phone call, someone relentlessly questioning and shouting.
Itâs normal for Huo Yi not to withstand it.
If it were her, she might not have held up under that manâs overbearing questioning.
But now, Li Beijue knowing means... sheâs screwed.
With his personality, heâs definitely angry. Once back in the country, he will surely settle accounts with her. By that time, sheâll probably be in a lot of trouble.
Chi Enen only felt an intense headache, and the injury on her left leg also started to hurt. She twitched the corner of her mouth, her smile weakening, "Itâs okay, Iâll give him a call later to explain."
However, whether Li Beijue would even listen to her explanation was uncertain.
Most likely, calling him would only result in a round of loud scolding.
At this time, Huo Yi hesitated for a moment, then said with a puzzled voice, "Before picking up Miss Chi, Master Jue called me four or five times, but then he stopped calling."
Chi Enen instinctively looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Huo Yi continued, "In the last call, I heard what seemed like gunshots on Master Jueâs end. I donât know if I heard wrong, but it really sounded like gunshots."
