Chapter 390
…
Huo Qi is always punctual. This time he set the time himself, but he was unusually late.
The moment Huo Qi appeared in the lobby, the group of people who were discussing animatedly fell silent upon seeing him, and stood obediently waiting for orders.
"Let's go." Huo Qi glanced back at the second floor of the villa, gave the order in a low voice, and left first.
"Your Highness." Xikai E Peizhen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called out to Huo Qi.
Huo Qi turned his head to look at Xikai E Peizhen with a puzzled look.
Meeting Huo Qi's gaze, Xikai Epeizhen's body stiffened slightly, and she moved her fingers at her side. Xikai Epeizhen said nonchalantly:
"Your Highness, there is an urgent matter in the family that I need to deal with..."
"In that case, I will hand over the matters on hand to Xi Ye. You go back and take care of them first and then come back. There is no rush." Xikai E Peizhen was meticulous in his work. After hearing what he said and seeing his unhappy expression, Huo Qi thought that the matters in Xikai E Peizhen's family must be very tricky, so he agreed to his request without waiting for Xikai E Peizhen to finish.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Under the light, Xikai E Peizhen's face turned a little pale.
The residence of the E Peizhen family in the imperial capital was not in the same building as Huo Qi and his party. When they arrived outside Huo Qi's residence, Xikai E Peizhen bowed to Huo Qi and turned to leave.
At this time, Huo Qi's voice came from behind him, with a hint of coldness as always, but the words he said made Xikai E Peizhen's expression even heavier.
"Akai, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."
"I will, Your Highness." Xikai Epei replied, but did not turn back. She took another step forward with some determination.
Under the cover of night, Huo Qi quickly turned around and left. The two of them walked in opposite directions, getting further and further away from each other.

Mu Jiao never thought that she would be kidnapped. To be more precise, she didn't believe that she would be knocked unconscious in a villa with such tight security.
When she regained consciousness, her hands and feet had been tied tightly, and the seal on her mouth made it so that she could only make a slight whimper. Her eyes were covered tightly, and she had no idea whether it was day or night.
Mu Jiao forced herself to calm down and began to try to find a way to save herself. Her hands and feet were bound tightly, and she could only rely on the strength of her waist to move her body on the cold ground.
"Ping~"
"Woo~" After moving with difficulty for a long time, Mu Jiao's head suddenly hit something hard. It was so painful. Mu Jiao subconsciously made a sound, but because her mouth was blocked, only a slight woooo sound came out.
After taking a break, the place where her head hit was still throbbing with pain. There was no doubt that it was swollen by now. Although it was painful, it was a good thing to finally hit something after moving for so long. Ignoring the pain, Mu Jiao began to move towards the hard object.
After a lot of effort, Mu Jiao finally determined that the hard object should be a small cabinet, table or something like that.
There might be glass objects on it, and if so, she might be able to cut the ropes that bound her.
Thinking of this, Mu Jiao's eyes lit up. While praying that the cabinet was not too high, she tried her best to straighten her body and reach the table with her head and chin.
The cabinet was not high, and Mu Jiao luckily touched the surface. Without thinking twice, Mu Jiao swept her head and swept everything she touched to the ground.
There was a "crack" sound, the sound of glass breaking. Mu Jiao was delighted, but before she could move the few fingers she could move to feel for the fragments, she heard the sound of a door opening from a distance.
