Nan Xun saw Zhu Zhu trembling non-stop, and his heart was filled with pity. He swallowed all the other questions he wanted to ask and called Lin Qiao in.
"Is Mr. Liu still on the island?" Nan Xun asked Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao glanced at Zhu Zhu and said, "Yes. There's still some finishing work on the project, and Engineer Liu is still keeping an eye on it."
"Call Engineer Liu and have him send someone to find Zhu Zhu's parents immediately. Report to me immediately, no matter what the result is."
"Yes." Lin Qiao received the order and did it immediately.
Zhu Zhu finally felt relieved after hearing Nan Xun's explanation. She felt a little uncomfortable looking at Nan Xun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"How did you meet Li'er in the restaurant?" Nanxun asked Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had gone to film Xue Li'er. If Nan Xun knew, he would definitely be angry.
"I...I..." Zhu Zhu was unable to explain to Nan Xun how she happened to meet Xue Li'er and Liu Ruohan having dinner together.
"You followed her?" Nan Xun's tone turned a little cold.
Zhu Zhu knew that she couldn't hide it from Nan Xun, so she had to tell the truth.
"Yes, I followed her."
"Zhu Zhu." Nan Xun called Zhu Zhu's name, but his tone was completely different from the affectionate one he used to call Li Er. "Do you know what you're doing? Why are you following Li Er?"
"I……"
"Don't tell me you still think there's something wrong with Li'er?"
"Isn't that so?" Zhu Zhu really didn't like Nan Xun calling Xue Li'er that. She couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Do you really know what kind of person she is? She's so scary. So scary that it's completely beyond your imagination!"
"Li'er is not that kind of person." Nan Xun sighed lightly.
"She's not that kind of person?!" Zhu Zhu didn't expect Nan Xun to still be protecting Xue Li'er at this point. "If she wasn't that person, why would she attack my parents?"
"Zhu Zhu," Nan Xun called her again. "Do you think Li Er is such a fool? Or do you think she and Liu Ruohan are so close that she would tell Liu Ruohan about her crime?"
"What do you mean?!" Zhu Zhu was so angry that she didn't even want to analyze the deeper meaning behind Nan Xun's words. "Are you saying that I'm framing her?"
Seeing Zhu Zhu's hurt expression, Nan Xun's heart softened. That was why he had to push Zhu Zhu away. Otherwise, if she kept looking like this in front of him, he didn't know when he would soften his heart and grab Zhu Zhu and never let her leave.
"I didn't mean that...you..."
Nan Xun was about to speak when the door to the conference room opened again. Xue Li'er, her hair dripping wet, stood at the doorway, looking at Zhu Zhu and Nan Xun with a sad look in her eyes.
"Xun..." Xue Li'er's eyes were filled with hurt, and her voice trembled as she called out to Nan Xun. "You..."
Zhu Zhu saw Xue Li'er suddenly furious. It was her, it was her who put her parents in danger. If anything happened to her parents, she would never let her go.
"Xue Li'er!" Zhu Zhu rushed to Xue Li'er. "Tell me, why did you want to harm my parents? If you have any problems, just come to me. Why do you have to touch my family?"
Xue Lier saw Zhu Zhu was furious and looked very pitiful.
"You...what are you talking about? When have I ever hurt your parents?"
"Stop pretending!" Zhu Zhu really wanted to tear off Xue Li'er's hypocritical mask. She didn't expect that even at this moment, she was still pretending. "I heard everything you said to Liu Ruohan. It was you who told Liu Ruohan that you would send people to the island to kill my parents!"
