Butler He frowned, his face showing great annoyance.
"What did our He family do to offend him? How did we end up with such a vicious person!"
The He family, a lineage of pharmacists, has always focused on healing the sick and saving lives, never getting involved in anything else, not even the business battles in City A.
Instead of giving orders immediately, Old Master He focused his attention on Qi Jiu.
What do you think we should do?
Qi Jiu smiled. "Of course he can't die. As for whether he can leave, he can, but he can't leave the He family's sight."
As long as they don't leave the He family's sight, who cares where they go?
Old Master He nodded, seemingly understanding something, and left the study with Butler He.
Just as Qi Jiu and the others were about to follow, He Qingfeng called them back, causing the others to stop as well. Instantly, several intense gazes fell upon the two of them.
"Qiqi, I don't understand. Why not just keep him from leaving the He family? If he's really being threatened, after a while, the people behind him will probably get restless and come knocking on our door."
The girl shook her head. "It's not that simple. At his age, all he cares about is his wealth and his family. Based on what I just found out, he cares more about his family."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, speaking with reason and logic, "His wife and children are facing some kind of danger. If we insist on detaining him, his wife and children may not be safe."
It's even possible to lose your life.
These young masters and ladies have grown up in the safe country of China. They have never even seen or dared to think about the bloodshed and violence abroad.
It's impossible to associate ordinary events with life and death.
This is understandable.
However, things are clearly not that simple now; their goal is probably not just targeting the He family.
Having said that, He Qingfeng seemed to understand something and stopped asking questions.
Following in Mr. He's footsteps, the group quickly arrived at the door of the lounge. Before they even pushed the door open, they could already hear the arguing inside.
"Are you deaf?! I said I wanted to leave! I'm grateful to the He family for saving my life, but do you know that I didn't want you to save me at all! I would have preferred to die at yesterday's seminar! You don't understand, you understand nothing!"
It was the middle-aged man; he seemed to shout out the last sentence.
His voice was hoarse, but despite this, the people inside didn't seem to want him to leave.
Hearing several soft, comforting voices from inside, the middle-aged man inside became even more agitated.
The next second, the commotion inside grew even louder. The lounge was sparsely furnished and simply decorated, so it was quite remarkable that this middle-aged man could make such a fuss.
Just as Grandpa He reached out to touch the doorknob, Qi Jiu grabbed his sleeve.
"Grandpa He, let me do it."
Now that the people inside have been pushed to the brink, considering his situation, it's not hard to understand why.
When is a person most terrifying? No, if anything unexpected happens, Old Master He is the one who absolutely cannot be harmed. When he goes berserk.
At least she can manage.
Grandpa He was taken aback, then shook his head. "It's alright, I'll take care of it."
He seemed to have sensed something, but still refused.
How could he let a little girl stand in front of him? If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.
I pushed the door open with a 'click' and saw the room was a complete mess.
The room was simply decorated; apart from some decorations and a bed, there was hardly any furniture.
The pillows and blankets on the bed were lying messily on the floor, and the rest of the room was also in disarray.
Qi Jiu frowned subconsciously upon seeing this scene. How could such a simple room be turned into this?
Is this person born in the Year of the Dog? Why did they make such a mess of the room?
Husky: "..."
Upon seeing Old Master He emerge, the middle-aged man calmed down considerably, but the anxious look on his face still lingered.
When no one was paying attention, he strode up to Old Master He.
"Are you the person in charge of the He family?"
Grandpa He grunted in acknowledgment, looked around at the surroundings, and was about to say something when the person opposite him spoke again.
"I am very grateful to you for saving me, but I have to leave now. My wife and children are waiting for me!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke. If it weren't for so many people holding him back, and him being outnumbered, he probably would have already rushed out by now.
Grandpa He pursed his lips and turned to look at Qi Jiu. This girl really was right.
They had already heard it when they were at the door; this guy definitely didn't just want to go back so simply.
They probably have ulterior motives.
"I didn't cure the poison in your body. I'm a pharmacist, I don't know how to do that."
I thought the person on the other end would react to this, but to my surprise, he didn't pay any attention to it at all.
"Whoever it was, they've saved me now, thank you so much! But I have to leave now! I can't wait any longer! If I wait any longer, something terrible will happen!"
Seeing that Old Master He had no intention of letting him go, the man in front of him was about to force his way out when a hand appeared in front of him.
He looked up and froze.
Isn't this the little girl who brought him medicine before? I thought she was a maid from the He family, but I never expected her to be like this...
Qi Jiu smiled and said, "You can't leave now."
He said this very calmly, but a hint of anger visibly appeared on the face of the person opposite him.
"On what grounds! This is illegal imprisonment! Do you believe I'll call the police?!"
He reached for his phone as he spoke, but seeing Qi Jiu still smiling in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Go ahead and call the police. I'll watch you do it."
He Qingfeng was completely dumbfounded by her actions. Logically speaking, it was indeed unreasonable for them to stop him from leaving.
Has society started openly encouraging people to call the police?
But the next second, he realized something was wrong. Why wasn't the man moving?
Qi Jiu laughed, "Why don't you call the police? We won't stop you, but now you can make one phone call and the police will come to the He family and take us all away. Then you'll be dead."
Seeing the middle-aged man's face grow increasingly dark, the girl's smile widened.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Why wouldn't I dare!"
Yang Nan subconsciously began to refute, seemingly thinking that his loud shouting would intimidate the other party.
But he was wrong. The person opposite him didn't change at all because of his shouting; not even the curve of their mouth changed.
"Then why don't you call? Don't you have a phone or is your bill overdue? It's okay, I have one."
As she spoke, the girl took out her phone from her pocket. Just as she was about to unlock the screen, Yang Nan suddenly shouted.
