Chapter 705: Let’s go back and test it!
Butler Li didn't know why Li Hongyao was stunned.
He just kept urging, "Hongyao, come here quickly, come here, this is our eldest daughter."
Bian Zhi smiled at Li Hongyao.
The deer's eyes shone frighteningly bright in the sunlight, and Li Hongyao subconsciously took a step back.
Bian Zhi was still smiling. She took the initiative to speak, "His name is Li Hongyao, right?"
This was a question, but Li Hongyao felt a chill down his spine when he heard it. He even felt it was ridiculous.
This young lady was the one who beat him to death without any explanation that night.
This realization made Li Hongyao subconsciously take several steps back.
Looking at the smile on Bian Zhi's lips, which seemed like an invisible threat and decline, Li Hongyao was a little scared and didn't dare to move forward.
The suffocating feeling of being beaten into the dust swept over me.
Make him want to turn around and leave.
However, there was a pair of eyes in the crowd staring at him closely. When Li Hongyao was about to retreat, the murderous look revealed in those eyes made Li Hongyao swallow his saliva and move forward helplessly.
Bian Zhi noticed Li Hongyao's mood changes.
She turned her head and looked in the direction where Li Hongyao had just looked.
Standing there were the Huo brothers.
Bian Zhi darkened his eyes and was silent for a few seconds. Then, he pursed his lips again and smiled nonchalantly.
"Call someone," Butler Li tugged at Li Hongyao's sleeve. Li Hongyao hissed, and Butler Li hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Hongyao shook his head, not daring to look into Bian Zhi's eyes again. He called out softly and submissively, "Miss."
This sound made everyone stunned.
His tone was low and a little timid.
Is this Li Hongyao?
In the Huo family, Li Hongyao only listens to the old man. The rest of the people, as he himself said before, have to stand aside. Even when Huo Wuzun was here, he didn't even look at him.
Now, he called Bian Zhi "Miss" in such a humble tone.
Butler Li originally just wanted Li Hongyao to come over for a face-to-face meeting, but he didn't expect that Li Hongyao would be so obedient, which even he himself found incredible.
After a long while, seemingly sensing everyone's astonishment, Butler Li took the initiative to explain, "Haha, he's been in there for a while now, and he's become more sensible. That's good, that's good."
As he spoke, Butler Li turned to look at Bian Zhi and explained, "Miss, this is my disappointing son. I'll trouble you to take good care of him in the future."
Bian Zhi nodded without saying much. He just looked at Li Hongyao with a smile, and then looked at his hands which he slowly put behind his back.
The welcoming ceremony ended and everyone went upstairs.
In the elevator.
Bian Zhi stood at the front, with An Xinran and Bian Zhi standing on either side. After them came the Huo brothers, and then Butler Li.
Everyone was silent, except for Butler Li, who asked Li Hongyao in a low voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Li Hongyao didn't answer. The elevator opened with a ding and everyone came out.
Before entering the office, Bian Zhi glanced at Li Hongyao's hand casually, and then entered the office.
When only Bian Zhi, An Xinran and Zhou Suihuai were left in the office.
Bian Zhi leaned back in the chair, and Zhou Suihuai massaged her sore lower back. Pregnancy was a tormenting thing. Her lower back felt so sore that it didn't feel like her own. Zhou Suihuai even put down all his work to take care of her.
Bian Zhi squinted his eyes comfortably. After a moment of silence in the room, he asked An Xinran, "Why?"
An Xinran was packing her medicine box when she paused and asked, "What?"
Bian Zhi said, "Although Li Hongyao's suit was too big and obscured the wound, I can tell from the flimsy edges of the wound that it was inflicted with a scalpel. Furthermore," Bian Zhi said calmly, "the cut was skillful and decisive, slicing through the meridians. His unique technique gave off a sense of calm before the storm. However, after three days, the meridians would be completely severed, and Li Hongyao's hand would be lost."
"I remember that the An family has a unique martial art," Bian Zhi looked at An Xinran, "Director An's daughter is using that unique martial art in a place like this?"
An Xinran's eyes were dim, "He said he was afraid."
Bian Zhi paused.
An Xinran turned around and looked at Bian Zhi seriously, "He said he was afraid, I heard it."
"If, Zhou Suihuai, you were afraid, you would do the same," An Xinran said confidently, "and you would definitely be more ruthless than me."
Bian Zhi rubbed his solar plexus.
Didn't refute An Xinran's words.
She just thought that if An Xinran knew what happened to Li You and why he was afraid, she would probably kill him.
When Bian Zhi was speechless, Li You called.
Bian Zhi glanced at An Xinran and answered the call.
"Hey, Li Hongyao is out. You promised me to keep An Xinran safe. Li Hongyao is a notorious pervert. Remind An Xinran to be careful. She looks carefree, but she's actually timid and afraid of even cockroaches."
In Li You's opinion, Li Hongyao is ten thousand times more terrifying than a cockroach.
Bian Zhi responded vaguely.
I thought to myself, come on, the An Xinran you see is not the An Xinran you know.
Just by hearing Li You say the word "afraid", he cut the tendons of Li Hongyao's hand. What a ruthless person!
Bian Zhi hung up Li You's phone and said to An Xinran who was still packing up, "I heard you. Let me ensure your safety."
At this moment, Bian Zhi felt that An Xinran did not need his protection at all.
She is fully capable of protecting herself.
"I heard it," An Xinran smiled faintly, then said to Bian Zhi seriously: "I will also do everything in my power to protect you."
Bian Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked casually, "Why?"
An Xinran said, "I can sense that you are very important to him. Although I don't know the origin of your relationship, I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect you for this reason."
Bian Zhi raised his eyebrows.
With a gentle smile, he advised, "Young man, you only have one life. Don't give it up easily. I don't need it. Save it for the important ones."
"For example—Li You."
An Xinran listened to Bian Zhi's teasing, blushed, and smiled gently.
On this side, Li Hongyao was taken to the financial director's office by Butler Li.
"How about it, son? It's impressive, isn't it? This office is the largest, most impressive, and most luxurious of all the Huo directors' offices. It's worthy of being the office of the God of Wealth. Awesome!"
Li Hongyao sat listlessly on the chair, the dull pain in his wrist making him feel a little uneasy.
"Dad, I don't want to be the financial director."
"Why?" Butler Li was stunned. Although he didn't know his son wasn't cut out for the director position, the fact that he was the God of Wealth's father made him very stimulating. "Are you afraid? It's okay, son. This stuff is all just empty talk. Besides, you just need to learn it. If you do make a mistake, I'll always be there to support you. Don't worry."
Li Hongyao wasn't interested. "Dad, I really don't understand this. Besides, this position is special. If they ask me to do something wrong that would be of great benefit to me, I'll be in jail again. I really don't want to go to that damn place anymore."
Li Hongyao pinched his wrist and said sullenly, "And—"
Recalling Bian Zhi's eyes again, Li Hongyao couldn't help but shudder.
"And what?" Butler Li asked with a frown.
Li Hongyao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it."
It can't be the eldest lady.
He and Bian Zhi had never met before, so she wouldn't go in there specifically to beat him up.
Perhaps, he was dazzled, the view in prison was dim, and it was not impossible that he remembered it wrongly.
Let’s go back and try again!
