Xi Suiyu had just started talking when Huo Qing already knew what he meant.
"Young Master, please rest assured. There are always people secretly guarding your cousin."
"Are they the same two people from last time?"
No matter what, the person from last time definitely can’t be used again.
If it weren't for Song Rushuang's special ability, the only thing he could do now would probably be to collect Xi Yan's body.
Huo Qing obviously meant the same thing.
"They both seriously neglected their duties and have been sent to be punished."
Xi Suiyu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Go and see for yourself. I don't want to see someone jumping off a building for the third time."
Although it is a bit unbelievable, it happened three times.
Once people become addicted to washing rouge, it is easy to develop wrong perceptions.
For example, you can see Song Rushuang just by jumping off the building.
Every time before doing it, such behavior is tantamount to gambling with one's life.
If you make a mistake even once, your life is really over.
After all, Xi Yan is the younger sister that Xi Sui Yu raised personally.
Therefore, even if Xi Yan was willing to do such a risky thing, Xi Sui Yu would not allow her to do it.
This is a matter of basic principle.
Huo Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:
"What about you?"
"What can I do?"
Having said that, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and then he sneered.
"Now that I'm on this platform, there are as many people who want me dead as there are people who want me alive. Do I still need you to protect my safety?"
Huo Qing frowned slightly.
He is just a retired special forces leader. He knows very little about political affairs and does not understand the metaphors involved.
Therefore, Xi Suiyu himself didn't know how much sincerity there was in his words.
"The old lady means that I must stay with you every step of the way."
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Huo Qing would not be stupid enough to use the old lady to pressure his own young master.
But the problem is that he has no other choice now.
"Just stop doing stupid things together."
He frowned and said:
"Listen to me, go and help me protect Xi Yan. Lin Qianyi is here to help me."
Having said that, if he still refuses to do as Xi Sui Yu said, he will probably be offended.
He didn't want to be fired just like that.
"I see. Will you come over tomorrow?"
"Now."
"...Well, be careful."
Xi Suiyu glanced at Huo Qing and saw that he had a serious and worried look on his face.
"I think you should stop being my chief guard and switch to being a butler next time."
This impending storm situation is a bit intimidating.
“…”
Xi Yan returned to the hotel and went straight to the room where she and Song Rushuang had lived before. However, she was stopped by someone just as she reached the elevator entrance to the ninth floor.
"Do you know who I am?"
It’s okay to stop others, but what’s the point of stopping her?
The guards who had just answered Huo Qing's call looked at each other, then sent a representative to speak to Xi Yan:
"Of course we know you are my cousin."
"Since you know it's me, why are you still stopping me?"
The guard spoke in a businesslike manner:
"This is the Young Patriarch's order. The entire tenth floor is sealed off. Not to mention you, even if you're from the Qin family, no one can go up without the Young Patriarch's permission."
Xi Yan's face immediately fell:
"Is this to protect me?"
"No, everyone."
This is a very beautiful thing to say.
But no matter what the actual situation is, Xi Yan thought, it was most likely directed at her.
Otherwise, they would not have closed it earlier or later, and they would not have waited until this time to talk about the closure.
Xi Yan was anxious, but she still patiently discussed with the five or six guards:
"How about this, you guys let me up secretly, and I promise I won't tell my brother. Even if I get caught, I won't betray you."
Everyone's heads shook like rattles at the same time.
What a joke.
This is playing with everyone's future and my cousin.
Of course no one would be willing to do that.
Everyone can still tell the difference between one meal being full and the next.
The guard who was forced out quickly refused:
"No, no, no, no! Cousin, if we really let you go up, we will all die."
Xi Yan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"We live in a society ruled by law now, and my brother isn't some wealthy landlord. If you disobey his wishes once, will he kill you?"
No matter what, you won't die.
"If you lose your job and die of starvation, how can that not be considered a way to die?"
“…”
The corners of Xi Yan's mouth twitched slightly. Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, she naturally prepared to use hard tactics.
"I don't care. Get out of my way and don't get in the way of my business."
As she spoke, she was ready to rush in regardless of the consequences, but fortunately she was stopped by a wall of people.
After all, Xi Yan is the daughter of the Xi family. Even if she acts like a fool, they can't really use force against her.
However, it would be very easy to just stop her from doing something dangerous.
"Miss Cousin, it's not that we don't want to give you this little bit of face. The point is, all we can do is follow the orders of the Young Patriarch. If you have any dissatisfaction, you should go to the Young Patriarch, right? We really don't dare, and we can't say anything."
In short, don't make things difficult for them.
