“If Mr. Tanaka can’t wait, we can have someone from above send over. I’ve done my best,” Zhuang Yihao said without any emotion.
Tanaka gritted his teeth and left. Zhuang Yihao had disappointed him too much.
Susan's chest was right in front of Li Ke, and Li Ke had already noticed her brooch. A thought crossed his mind, but Li Ke tried his best not to reveal any flaws, so that no one would discover her secret.
Although she wasn't sure what she was thinking, Zhuang Yihao had given her a shopping card worth 100,000 M coins yesterday as an apology.
Logically, they shouldn't have sent anyone to visit her again, especially since the person they sent was Ms. Susan.
Li Ke guessed that Zhuang Yihao and the others must have discovered that the treasure vault had been robbed. That was too fast. Fortunately, her illness came in time, giving her no time to do anything inappropriate and also providing her with cover.
The brooch on Susan's chest gave her a slightly strange feeling; it was very likely a hidden camera.
With a suspicion forming in his mind, regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Ke kept telling himself to stay calm and not to do anything unusual or react abnormally.
Are all girls from the East as delicate and fragile as you, making people feel sorry for them?
I seriously suspect there were some kind of ghosts lurking in the wine cellar yesterday? They must have hurt such a lovely girl like you, leaving you so weak and vulnerable now!
Susan sat on the edge of Li Ke's bed, reached out and brushed the hair from her forehead, speaking intimately.
"Perhaps I'm a bit timid. After going down to the wine cellar last night, I followed Miss Qin's instructions and went inside to select a few bottles of wine for her."
I don't know much about wine, so I just wandered around a few times. The wine cellar was too deep and quiet, and I was scared to be alone. After getting the wine, I went up to the stairs and sat down. Later, I even fell asleep for a while without realizing it.
I don't think it's necessarily because of this that I got a fever. I went for a walk by the lake yesterday afternoon; maybe I already caught a chill.
Li Ke's words were spoken in fits and starts, her breathing was still somewhat unsteady, and her exhaustion was palpable.
Li Ke's illness took her three whole days to recover some of her strength. During those three days, Susan would come over every day to sit for a while, talk to Li Ke for a bit, and give Li Ke a bouquet of flowers that she had cut herself from the garden every day.
Although Li Ke felt somewhat helpless about her sudden illness and felt that she had wasted a lot of time, she was also somewhat relieved.
Although Susan didn't reveal anything, Li Ke clearly sensed that Susan's attitude towards her became increasingly casual and natural, as if she had gradually dispelled her suspicions.
Because of Li Ke's illness, Zhuang Weifeng became more tender and protective of her, treating her with exceptional gentleness and politeness these past few days.
He did not do the same thing again, showing up uninvited in the middle of the night.
Of course, if he dared to come again, Li Ke would definitely try to extort a huge sum of money from him. Just thinking about how he opened her door that night made Li Ke even more disgusted with Zhuang Weifeng.
As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover. Zhuang Weifeng's appearance and his usual behavior are really deceptive.
As Li Ke's condition improved, the others in the castle stopped paying so much attention to her.
This group of teenagers would go out for drives and have fun every day, only returning at night.
Only Li Ke, though seemingly completely at ease inside Zhuang Yihao's castle, dared not relax for a moment.
She had kept that huge amount of treasure in her spatial storage for three or four days, but she hadn't dared to go in to check it. In short, she wouldn't enter the space again within the dealer's territory.
After resting for five days, Li Ke felt she had recovered quite well. She asked the housekeeper to call a car for her, as she planned to go to the city center to shop for some things.
And she would find an opportunity to contact a middleman on the dark web and do as much as she could; she couldn't keep waiting.
Zhuang Weifeng and his group had already left. Li Ke waited for nearly an hour after they left in order to avoid them and then made a request to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper arranged a car for Li Ke, and the driver spoke Chinese. He told Li Ke that the driver could act as her personal tour guide and serve her throughout the day, which was a very thoughtful arrangement.
Li Ke had the driver take her directly to the most famous shopping center in the city.
