However, she didn't send it out immediately. Instead, she found Luo Jingxuan and asked a question, "Boss Luo, do you think that if I release the Hua family's dirty laundry now, will it completely infuriate them? Will they become so angry that they'll kill me without even realizing your threats?"
"..." Luo Jingxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "It's not impossible. The last time they attacked you, it was a lot of noise but little action. In fact, they were also testing my attitude. They didn't know our true relationship. They only knew from the Internet that you were under my protection. They were not sure how far my protection would go. The most important thing is that their losses last time were not great, so it was just right to test me by scaring you. After you were rescued, I attacked the Hua family several times, causing them to suffer a lot of losses. My attitude was tested, and since you spread their romantic news again, they didn't think of touching you, nor did they dare. They only asked someone to pass a message to me, asking if you were angry enough."
"Then?" Li Xi asked tentatively.
Luo Jingxuan glanced at Li Xi, and this look made Li Xi feel a little embarrassed. How should I put it? Luo Jingxuan's expression did not change, but Li Xi felt that his look seemed to say, "Silly girl, you are too naive and don't understand the wickedness of human nature."
However, Luo Jingxuan said, "A piece of scandalous news doesn't affect the fundamental interests of the Hua family. At most, it will cause a loss of profit. It's actually nothing to the Hua family. Plus, with me in control, they can only suffer this loss in silence. But if you release evidence of their group's dirty laundry, it's fine if the management system is strict, but if you release evidence of product problems and factory fraud, the impact on the Hua family will be far greater. They may even have to shut down several production lines. This is not something I can just calm down. You know, a cornered dog will jump over the wall."
After Luo Jingxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xi lightly. Sure enough, he saw that Li Xi trembled slightly and clenched his hands into fists.
"I'm always accompanied by a bodyguard whenever I go out, so nothing should happen...right?" Li Xi said uncertainly.
"What do you think?" Luo Jingxuan didn't give Li Xi a clear answer, but instead asked back, clearly trying to break Li Xi's self-deception.
"I don't think so. Although I didn't see the faces of those people who kidnapped me last time, they gave me the impression that their hands were stained with blood and they exuded murderous aura. They were very scary. It is highly likely that those bodyguards cannot defeat them." Li Xi's voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke.
"Assistant Jiang's bodyguards are skilled fighters, but their mission is to protect. Their purpose is to restrict the opponent's movements and prevent them from harming their employer, and they will only resort to ruthless action when necessary. Those bloodthirsty desperadoes are different; their goal is to harm. Think about it, how can someone who holds back from the start defeat someone who's desperate? Besides, if they're going to attack, won't they first investigate the people around you? By then, the number of people dispatched will only be greater than the number of bodyguards you have with you."
"Then after I send it out, I won't go out?" Li Xi asked tentatively.
"..." Luo Jingxuan paused, "It's not impossible. At least the security system at home is still of a high level."
"Is it possible to ask for leave from school?"
"Isn't the holiday coming up soon? Talk to the school and you should be able to take a leave if you need anything. It's only three or five days, not long."
"Three to five days is quite long..."
"..." Luo Jingxuan was speechless. "Then let Assistant Jiang go and invite you. Let him find a reason." Luo Jingxuan ruthlessly shifted the blame.
"Okay." Li Xi happily accepted the blame.
After the two of them had discussed it, Li Xi returned to her room to review the manuscript one last time. Meanwhile, Luo Jingxuan had Assistant Jiang arrange two things: one was to call the school to request leave for Li Xi, and the other was to notify the security company to strengthen security at the villa.
Security in the Royal Garden area is generally good, as it's mostly inhabited by wealthy residents. Not only strangers, but even delivery drivers need the owner's permission before entering the villa complex. While the residents rarely order takeout or shop online, that's the rule.
However, the Hua family's desperate gang must have used some illicit means to enter the complex. Judging by the methods they used to kidnap Li Xi, they were also very adept at dealing with surveillance. To ensure Li Xi's safety while staying in the villa, relying solely on the security provided by the property management, and the villa's original security system, was definitely not enough.
Luo Jingxuan meant to upgrade the villa's security system and send some bodyguards with stronger overall strength.
So, when Li Xi woke up the next day, she saw the villa bustling with people. She was stunned for a moment, thinking she had gotten up the wrong way, until Uncle Wu greeted her with a smile, and then she realized what was happening.
"Uncle Wu, what's going on?" Li Xi walked around the busy figures and successfully met Uncle Wu at the kitchen door.
"Yes, sir. He said things have been unsettled out there lately and we need to beef up security. It just so happens the villa's security system hasn't been updated in a while, so we're giving it a go. These are the people from the security company, and they've been busy all morning. They should be finished by noon. Did I disturb your sleep?"
"No." Li Xi shook her head, remembering what Luo Jingxuan said last night, and immediately understood his intention. "I woke up naturally, and I was a little hungry."
"Are you hungry? Then ask Aunt Lin to get you something to eat. She just came back from buying groceries and is still cleaning up in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll go check it out." She went into the kitchen and saw Aunt Lin was there. Li Xi thought lunch wasn't far away, so she didn't order anything fancy and just asked Aunt Lin to cook a bowl of noodles.
While waiting for the meal, Li Xi went out to take a look at the security company's operations. He saw them moving equipment here, changing the layout over there, and a few people sitting at the coffee table, typing away on their computers.
