When Leon heard that Jiang Ze was going to find Li Ruo, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, there's a high chance of danger going this time. You should stay at home."
The Li family is not a good place. When Li Ruo left, she repeatedly told him to take good care of this little guy. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a loss?
Leon, however, was very determined. He had been back with Li Ruo for so long, and this was the first time he hadn't seen her for several days. Naturally, he was very flustered: "Brother, please let me go. Sister Li Ruo has been kind to me. Now that she is in trouble, I can't just sit idly by. Besides, I have lived in the slums for many years and have learned a lot of skills. Perhaps I can help you."
His tone was sincere, but his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.
Seeing this, Jiang Ze sighed, ultimately unable to refuse: "Alright, let's go."
"Um!"
The moment he heard him agree, a joyful smile spread across Leon's face.
The two moved quickly and, after discussing their plans, set off for the Li family immediately.
Are you sure you're here?
Lyon looked at the row of neat villas not far away, feeling somewhat curious.
Jiang Ze nodded firmly.
The Li family's house was located at the very end of this villa complex, next to a small grove of trees; he couldn't be mistaken.
"That's right, but they might not let us in..."
At this point, Jiang Ze couldn't help but smile wryly, but he still mustered his spirits and said, "Never mind, let's go take a look first."
"good!"
Lyon nodded and hurriedly followed behind him.
The two remained silent the whole way, but just as they were about to approach the Li family's residence, they heard an argument coming from the woods not far away.
"Didn't we agree on this last time? Why haven't you given me the things yet? Are you trying to back out?"
"Of course not. As long as you listen to me obediently, you will naturally get the things."
"When exactly?"
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Ze instinctively stopped in his tracks, only to see Li Zhiqi arguing with a woman.
"Fu Zhiqing?"
Of course he would recognize who that woman was.
Although he was curious about why the two people were entangled together, he also understood the purpose of his visit today.
If we don't find Li Ruo, nothing else matters!
Thinking of this, he shook his head and was about to tell Leon to leave when he found that the other man seemed to be stunned and stood still.
Jiang Ze was puzzled and followed his gaze. Unexpectedly, he was staring intently at Fu Zhiqing, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked very strange.
"you……"
Noticing his unusual behavior, Jiang Ze raised an eyebrow. He was surprised that Lyon would squat down, pick up a pebble, and throw it towards Fu Zhiqing.
Seeing this, Jiang Ze couldn't help but be surprised and scolded in a low voice, "Leon, what are you doing?"
He gave a low rebuke and subconsciously turned around to look.
Fu Zhiqing, who was not far away, was almost hit by the object and was already glaring angrily over.
Damn it!
Fearing that the other party would get angry and cause trouble, he subconsciously shielded Leon behind him.
Unexpectedly, the moment Fu Zhiqing saw Lyon clearly, her anger vanished, and her face turned deathly pale.
Before they could react, she shook off Li Zhiqi's hand and turned to the side.
Strange... Is she afraid of Leon?
Jiang Ze was incredibly perceptive and noticed something was wrong almost immediately. At that moment, Li Zhiqi also spotted them and strode over, his face extremely displeased: "You and Li Ruo are really cut from the same cloth, equally rude, and even the child you raised is so ill-mannered!"
After all, he had only met Fu Zhiqing a handful of times. Now that he had finally managed to trick her into coming here, he would definitely not let those two go if they were scared away.
"He didn't do it on purpose."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze's expression turned cold, and he explained in a low voice.
But Li Zhiqi's mind was not on Lyon at all. He disliked anyone or anything related to Li Ruo.
"Look at you, still denying it, even the way you argue is exactly like Li Ruo. It's true what they say, if you're not family, you're not family. You're really annoying!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze's eyes turned cold, and he cut to the chase: "Where is my sister? You'd better hand her over to me right now!"
"younger sister?"
Li Zhiqi sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "That scheming woman Li Ruo, how could our little temple dare to keep her? She left long ago."
What do you mean by that?
Seeing his indignant expression, Jiang Ze was taken aback and belatedly realized something was amiss.
When this matter was brought up, Li Zhiqi became even angrier: "Stop pretending with me. If that bitch Li Ruo wasn't so cunning, how could she have asked my dad for shares in front of outsiders, leaving him with no choice but to agree? Now, because of this, my dad is furious, and we've all been dragged into this mess."
