Boring as hell." Xu Jing looked down at the time. It was already half past one. If he didn't go back now, he'd be exposed.
"You." Xu Jing stopped talking and said lightly, "Cinderella is going back to the castle."
This sentence extinguished the blazing fire in Xie Zhiyi. He stepped on him angrily and said in a muffled voice, "Go back."
It happened so quickly. Xu Jing bit through the yellow paper, and a large pit appeared beneath the ground. It dragged him along like a loach, and before two o'clock, he returned to Xu Jing's room.
Just after returning, before he could even wash off the dirt on his body, Xu Jing felt the turbulence outside. "Your housekeeper is here to see you."
"What should I do?" He hadn't changed his clothes yet, and there was still mud on his body from underground that hadn't been cleaned off. If Butler Jin found out and reported it to his father, he would be in big trouble.
Xu Jing used a cleaning technique to clean the dirt off the two men. Since there were no ready-made clothes in the room, Xu Jing took out some black clothes from his luggage and asked them to change into them.
After finishing everything, Xie Zhiyi opened the door.
Butler Jin stared at Xie Zhiyi expressionlessly for a long time before sighing heavily. "Master, you're so disappointing. The master has expressly forbidden you from leaving the castle. Do you know how much damage your departure would cause to the entire Xie family?"
Was he discovered again? Xie Zhiyi was eager to explain, but Butler Jin did not give Xie Zhiyi any chance to explain.
He took a step back, and the sound of neat footsteps followed.
Xie Zhiyi stared with wide eyes at the bodyguards entering the room. Their target was not him, but He Wenxiu who was behind him.
"Catch him and execute him."
"Wait, I asked him to do this. You can't arrest him." Xie Zhiyi stood in front of Xu Jing and said righteously, "If you want to arrest someone, arrest me. Let him go."
"Master, you have lost your credibility with me. You can't protect He Wenxiu, and you can't save yourself. You must understand one thing: you must never go against the Xie family until your death. Otherwise, you will be the only one who suffers."
The bodyguards who came in one after another surrounded the room. Butler Jin gave a wink, and two strong men pulled Xie Zhiyi away and went towards Xu Jing behind them.
Xu Jing was about to protest when Butler Jin's cold voice rang out again. "I advise Mr. He to surrender obediently, or I will not let you go."
Butler Jin now looks like a complete villain.
He walked straight up to Xie Zhiyi, who was being held up by two bodyguards, and slapped him in the face without any hesitation.
The resounding sound of the slap was deafening, and it also aroused Xu Jing's anger. "Who told you to do that?"
"He Wenxiu, you can't even protect yourself, so what qualifications do you have to talk to me?" Butler Jin sneered and slapped Xie Zhiyi again. Seeing the swelling on his fair face, he sighed. "Master, don't blame me. This is all your own fault. I need to complete the task assigned by the master."
Xie Zhiyi didn't feel much pain. Butler Jin hit him with great force. Two slaps made his face stiff and he couldn't feel any pain.
His attention was all focused on He Wenxiu. He turned his head to look at He Wenxiu, and seeing shock and heartache in his eyes, he felt a little relieved. It seemed that He Wenxiu still cared about him.
Xie Zhiyi pulled the corners of his mouth hard and gave him a smile. "Just run away and leave me alone. He won't do anything to me. At most, he'll just slap me a few times. I'm used to it."
Whenever he had any rebellious thoughts or behaved inappropriately, Butler Jin, as Xie's father's eyes, would inform him, and then Xie's father would punish him according to the family rules.
A few years ago, when he was still healthy, they whipped him with whips and canes, hanging him up and beating him to death. After his injuries healed, they made him kneel down and repent. They would not let him go until he admitted his mistakes.
Training a person is no different from training a dog. Perhaps in Xie's father's eyes, he is just a dog. As long as the whip is swung fast enough, the dog will not resist.
In the past two years, it was obvious that his health was failing. Even if Xie Zhiyi showed any emotion, the punishment would not be too harsh.
Because his life represents the fortune of the Xie family. If he dies, the Xie family will not have a good life.
Butler Jin smiled disdainfully, looked at Xie Zhiyi, and said, "Young Master, do you really think you are invincible in the Xie family?"
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Just release He Wenxiu and I'll listen to you."
Butler Jin shook his head and took out his phone. He opened it and saw a new person in the photo album. "The master has found someone to replace you. Your treatment in the Xie family will plummet. The master said that if you perform well, you will be treated well. If you don't perform well, you can die now."
The so-called good treatment means that one can live a better life before death. In Xie Zhiyi's opinion, these illusory things are not as enjoyable as the night he went out with He Wenxiu.
Only during that night with him did Xie Zhiyi feel like she was alive again. No matter how good the days of imprisonment in the castle were, they were not as wonderful as that night.
"Let him go, you can do whatever you want."
Butler Jin looked at Xie Zhiyi deeply and said, "Master, you have been tempted by that guy. I will not let him leave the castle alive."
"No." Xie Zhiyi shook his head, a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "There's no one in this world that I'm attracted to yet. I'm so selfish, I only think about living for myself, how could I possibly fall in love with someone?"
"Then we must not let him go." The murderous intent in Butler Jin's eyes was enough to destroy He Wenxiu. His hand stopped at the neck and gently stroked it.
The bodyguard understood what he meant better than Xie Zhiyi, and the knife in his hand was about to kill He Wenxiu completely in the room.
"Stop it." Xie Zhiyi said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll bite my tongue and commit suicide?"
Xie Zhiyi looked coldly at Butler Jin and the bodyguards who surrounded them. "The replacements haven't arrived yet. If the formation's core explodes, what will happen to you? Do I need to warn you?"
"Young Master has reminded me of something." Butler Jin ordered, "Bet his mouth."
Xie Zhiyi smiled instead of getting angry, and delivered a fatal blow. "I have a scorpion in my mouth. Come closer and see who dies faster, me or you."
This... Butler Jin was hesitant and couldn't bear to gamble with his life.
He had no way of confirming whether what Xie Zhiyi said was true. If it was true, then he and the entire Xie family would be doomed.
What happens to the Xie family has nothing to do with him. He is just an employee who only cares about his own life.
