Liu Zi felt very sorry for Pei Shiheng, for dragging him into her troubles.
"We should have split up."
"It's alright. Their target is you. The others probably won't care. Besides, we still have Li Song and Zhang Jia. Don't worry!" Pei Shiheng had great trust in the Dragon Guard security team.
Li Mu and Xu Er also received the news from Li Song. Li Mu immediately couldn't sit still and canceled his next trip to the port city ahead of schedule.
At the same time, the remaining forces of the Hong Kong City Longwei Security Branch were mobilized to provide full support and ensure Liu Zi's safety.
"Mr. Li, don't you think there's something fishy about this?" Xu Er suddenly turned around and asked after getting into the car.
"We personally supervised An Shouyi's departure, and Uncle Yao's prestige played a part in it. Even if they left some people in Hong Kong, they are just small fry and nothing to worry about," Xu Er analyzed.
"So you mean...?"
Li Mu was so shocked by the sudden news that he lost his composure. Now, after hearing Xu Er's analysis, he also felt that something was amiss.
"Could there be a third force that we are unaware of?" Xu Er predicted.
At this moment, Li Mu's phone rang. Uncle Yao personally called An Shouyi, who claimed that the people following him were not from their organization.
"Uncle Yao, do you have any news?" Li Mu asked the person on the phone.
Xu Er sat in the passenger seat, listening intently to the sounds coming from the back.
"Yes, she's my friend!"
"She's not my girlfriend, she's a very important business partner." Li Mu's voice was tense.
Xu Er curled his lip, thinking that his boss's thoughts could only be kept from him.
"We cannot rule out that possibility in the future," Li Mu added.
Xu Er then faintly heard loud laughter coming from the phone.
A blush gradually rose to Li Mu's face and neck.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu cleared his throat and told the driver to speed up.
After receiving Xu Er's message, Li Song became cautious.
The other party's origins and motives are unknown, and there is a possibility of them being attacked at any time, so they need to be highly vigilant.
The Longwei security personnel arrived quickly, in three vehicles. Two escorted them away first, while the remaining vehicle deliberately caused a car accident to stop them.
The other party was also quite capable; even after being hit by a car that suddenly appeared, they reacted quickly and turned around to escape in another direction.
The vehicle that initiated the collision was ordered to cease pursuit and to prioritize the safety of the personnel.
Seeing that the other party had really left, he immediately drove up to catch up with Liu Zi and her convoy.
The small VIP building in the backyard of the Golden Beauty Hotel has been cleared out. The last time this was done was when a high-ranking mainland official came to Hong Kong for negotiations.
Liu Zi thought to herself, "At this rate, they probably won't be able to go to the concert tonight."
If anything goes wrong, she will become the sinner.
Just as Liu Zi was thinking about how to send a message to Zhang Shaohan to explain the situation, Li Song hurriedly walked in.
"What happened?" Liu Zi immediately stood up.
"The boss has arrived!" Li Song said.
"Who?" Liu Zi couldn't believe it. How could someone have arrived so quickly in such a short time?
Without Li Song needing to say anything more, Li Mu's figure had already appeared behind him.
After entering the room, Li Mu looked at Liu Zi, who seemed a little dazed, and was relieved to see that she was indeed alright.
He reached out and tapped the other person on the forehead, asking, "Were you scared stiff? Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Something else happened!"
Liu Zi was brought back to her senses by the knock, covered her reddened forehead and glared at the other person, warning him not to push his luck.
"Alright, the concert schedule is probably off. Just stay in the hotel for a couple of days, and I'll have someone take care of it immediately." Chen Xing is a major shareholder of Jinmei Hotel, and their security here is not a problem.
"Who exactly found out?" Liu Zi was a little frustrated. So much time had passed, would these people ever stop?
"The people involved are currently unknown, and their motives are unclear. After all, you two left the border together, making the investigation more complicated," Li Mu comforted her, telling her to be patient.
"What does Mr. Li mean by this? Could those people be targeting me?" Pei Shiheng wasn't stupid. His older brother had started his business early and accumulated a lot of wealth. As his only younger brother, he was very self-aware.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out." As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, he saw Liu Zi's face turn pale.
Could it be that she stumbled upon the reason why Pei Shiheng died young in her previous life?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Mu asked with concern.
"Hearing you wealthy gentlemen discuss these secrets, I feel quite uneasy," Liu Zi said, her face ashen, as she found a pretext.
"Ha, you're already a first-generation entrepreneur, and you still want to sever ties with us? Isn't it a bit too late?" Pei Shiheng no longer dared to underestimate Liu Zi. Her talent and ability foreshadowed her extraordinary future.
"I'm different from you, don't count me in." Liu Zi covered her ears, pretending not to hear.
"It's like burying your head in the sand. Who was it that fled Hong Kong last time?" Pei Shiheng directly exposed the woman's delusions.
Liu Zi rolled her eyes. Since Li Mu had assured her that everything was fine here, she would go back to her room to rest. Zhang Shaohan would contact her agent to explain the situation, hoping it wouldn't have too much of an impact on her.
Liu Zi turned and went back to her room, leaving Pei Shiheng looking dazed.
"This woman is like a donkey, she changes her face in an instant," Pei Shiheng muttered.
Li Mu ignored him and quickly followed Liu Zi's steps, preparing to escort her back to her room.
Just like last time, except that Li Mu wasn't quite sober then.
Watching the two leave in pairs, Xu Er sighed and took on the responsibility of arranging the follow-up matters.
"Mr. Pei, you should go back to your room and rest. No matter what, we must ensure your safety."
"Alright! There's nothing else for me to do here, so I'm going back to my room for a good sleep." Pei Shiheng yawned. He had gotten up too early today, and there was nothing he could do to help, so he decided to go back to sleep.
Just like last time, before Liu Zi entered the room, Li Mu took the lead and went in to check on her first.
Although he knew that someone had already conducted a thorough inspection, he was still uneasy.
"I live right next to you, so if anything happens, no matter how late it is, be sure to contact me," Li Mu said solemnly.
"Okay!" Liu Zi nodded.
"Li Mu!"
"What's wrong?" Li Mu asked in surprise. Liu Zi rarely called him by his name; she usually called him President Li.
"Please protect Pei Shiheng and keep him safe."
"You've only known him for a short time and you're already thinking about him so much?"
Li Mu's voice and demeanor seemed off, but Liu Zi couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"I brought him to Hong Kong, and I have to bring him back safely. If anything happens to him, I won't be able to live with myself." Regardless of her motives, Liu Zi still didn't want Pei Shiheng to die.
