Li Xi remained silent and moved closer to Luo Jingxuan. Her meaning was obvious.
Luo Jingxuan kept repeating in his mind, "The child is scared, the child is scared," but his face remained expressionless. "I'll watch you sleep, and I won't leave until you fall asleep. Don't be afraid, home is safe."
Li Xi thought for a moment and nodded gently. Then she let go of Luo Jingxuan's hand, climbed onto the bed, and covered herself with the quilt, leaving only her head exposed, her eyes still fixed on Luo Jingxuan.
Luo Jingxuan sighed softly, sat down beside Li Xi's bed, looked into Li Xi's eyes and said, "Go to sleep, I won't leave."
At this moment, Li Xi closed her eyes obediently, but her eyeballs moved around restlessly. After a while, she opened her eyes again to see if Luo Jingxuan was still there. Luo Jingxuan was sitting next to her, doing nothing but staring at Li Xi, making sure that Li Xi could meet his gaze every time she opened her eyes.
After nearly half an hour of this, Li Xi's breathing gradually calmed down, and her eyes stopped rolling around. After confirming that Li Xi was asleep, Luo Jingxuan left. He headed straight for the study. After so long, the results of the investigations should have come out, and he needed to deal with the follow-up matters.
As expected of a subordinate of the villain boss, he is very efficient. With the help of people from Mian Laosi, the investigation results were sent to Luo Jingxuan's email half an hour ago.
As expected, it was the Hua family's doing. The stock price plummeted, and they traced it to online reports of domestic violence against Hua Er. A minor incident of "domestic violence" wouldn't have caused the company's stock to plummet for several consecutive days, but for the situation to escalate to this point, it was clear there were forces behind it. The Hua family, with their own PR and marketing teams, quickly uncovered the driving force behind this incident: Zhuang Tianxin, wealthy gossip tan, and a longtime rival.
Don't worry about old rivals; they're used to kicking someone when they're down. Anyway, you screwed me this time, I'll screw you back next time.
Zhuang Tianxin couldn't be touched either. Although the Zhuang family had recently been clamoring to sever ties and end their cooperation, both companies were in the business world, so they had to leave some room for future encounters. And the most crucial point was that Zhuang Tianxin was clearly not in control, so whether it was cooperation or exploitation, what did it matter? She couldn't be touched; she could be considered a victim being exploited.
The gossip about the wealthy families must be discussed. Not to mention that the person behind this self-media account is hiding and cannot be seen in public, the Hua family cannot let him go just because he is the main driving force behind this matter.
However, the Hua family, after investigating the platform, failed to uncover the identity of the individuals behind the accounts, only discovering Luo Jingxuan's influence. Publicly, the Hua family was unwilling to antagonize Luo Jingxuan. Even if the two parties didn't cooperate, there was no need to offend this business tycoon. But behind the scenes, as long as the other party didn't have obvious evidence, who would know they were the ones behind the deed?
However, with Luo Jingxuan's support, they couldn't find the person hidden behind the scenes. They had no choice but to start with Zhuang Tianxin. Zhuang Tianxin said in the video that the person was a good friend she had just met, which limited the scope.
After Zhuang Tianxin was taken away from Hua Er's place, she had been recuperating in the Zhuang family. During this period, she did not come into contact with many people, and the Hua family did not spend much effort to find out who it was - Li Xi did not escape.
As for Li Xi's identity, they only found members of the Li family, and also because Li Xi and Su Yu had a close relationship. Luo Jingxuan had kept their relationship a secret, so it was impossible to find out. Luo Jingxuan had also warned the Li family not to disclose the information, so outside of the two families, few people knew about their relationship.
The Hua family only thought that Luo Jingxuan's power would protect Li Xi because of Su Yu. Even if the two families didn't interact, they were cousins by blood. Perhaps Su Yu and Luo Jingxuan had a close relationship privately? It wasn't impossible to ask her cousin to give her good friend some protection.
But how far could such protection go? The Hua family decided without hesitation to attack Li Xi, but they were somewhat concerned about Luo Jingxuan's "protection" and didn't dare to actually do anything to her. After much deliberation, they finally decided to tie her up in the mountains and scare her.
The lost money couldn't be recovered anyway. Given Li Xi's status in the Li family, there was no way the Li family would pay to redeem her. As for Su Yu, she was just a little brat. Expecting her to pay? Might as well just scare her into giving her some peace of mind!
Li Xi was indeed frightened, and the Hua family had let out their anger. But Luo Jingxuan was furious!
After hearing Li Xi's intelligence last time, Luo Jingxuan's people had also been keeping an eye on the Hua family's smuggling ring. However, he wasn't paying much attention to the Hua family's situation, but was instead investigating whether anyone in his own network had any connection to the Hua family, and if so, what kind of connection.
If the two parties have a good relationship, deep feelings, and frequent cooperation, Luo Jingxuan will kick them out of his circle as appropriate.
If the cooperation between the two parties is superficial and the interpersonal relationships are rather polite, then Luo Jingxuan's people will let out a hint and ask people to quickly withdraw from the quagmire of the Hua family.
So far, this work has been progressing smoothly. Luo Jingxuan has successfully kicked out several termites and also kept several good seedlings.
Originally, he had planned to proceed gradually, but after Li Xi's incident, he decided to expedite the process. Furthermore, he planned to have his men search for evidence of the Hua family operating a smuggling ship and report it to the authorities. If necessary, he could also coordinate with relevant authorities to apprehend the Hua family as soon as possible.
After giving orders for a series of arrangements, it was already late at night. Luo Jingxuan first went to check on Li Xi's condition, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he returned to his bedroom.
The next day, Li Xi heard Su Yu's voice as soon as she woke up.
