Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Wen Zhi in a long dress, looking at them with surprise.
Seeing this, the bodyguard paused in his pursuit of Leon, frowning in confusion: "Miss, what are you doing here?"
No wonder he felt like there was someone in the corner earlier; it was her.
Hearing the bodyguard's words, Wen Zhi's face darkened, and she pouted unhappily, saying, "What are you saying? I'm a member of the Wen family. I can go wherever I want. Is it any of your business?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the tightly closed villa and asked impatiently, "I'm asking you, is Li Ruo inside?"
She hadn't seen Li Ruo for a long time, and at first she thought that the woman had been dumped by her brother.
But recently, some rumors have been circulating that her brother prepared a surprise for Li Ruo in order to please her.
Does that woman even deserve it?
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard frowned and hesitated, "Miss Li, she..."
After all, Wen Huaiyan had specifically instructed that no one should approach Li Ruo, and that no one should know her whereabouts.
Completely unprepared for her sudden appearance, Jiang Ze's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, suddenly settled. He exchanged a glance with the housekeeper and hurriedly went inside.
Noticing their movements, Leon breathed a slight sigh of relief, quickly distanced himself from his bodyguards, and cautiously left the scene.
All of this happened in an instant, and no one noticed.
Seeing the bodyguard's reaction, Wen Zhi understood everything: "It seems she really is here!"
As Wen Huaiyan's younger sister, although she wasn't particularly close to her older brother, she understood his style and knew he never wasted time on useless things.
With so many bodyguards stationed at the entrance, there must be something important hidden there.
Thinking of this, her expression grew even more displeased, and she took a step forward, heading towards the door.
Unexpectedly, she insisted on entering the room without warning. The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, their faces showing some difficulty: "I'm sorry, Miss, you can't go in."
"You dare stop me?"
Wen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then a look of disbelief flashed across her face: "Are you looking for death?"
Her voice was sharp and filled with offended anger.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard paused slightly, somewhat hesitant.
They were well aware of Wen Zhi's status in the Wen family, so they didn't want to offend her unless absolutely necessary. They quickly explained, "Miss, I'm so sorry. It's not that I deliberately didn't let you in, but Mr. Wen instructed that no one can enter or leave this villa without his order."
Hearing this, Wen Zhi couldn't help but find it somewhat ridiculous, but not wanting to directly confront Wen Huaiyan, she rolled her eyes and said, "What? Putting aside my status as a member of the Wen family, I am still Li Ruo's superior, aren't I? She hasn't been to the company for several days, so I naturally have the right to care about my subordinate's safety. It's not unreasonable for me to go in and check on her, is it? My brother asked you to be wary of outsiders, so why are you stopping me!"
Wen Zhi's temper was notoriously bad in the Wen family, and the bodyguard broke out in a cold sweat under her gaze.
But remembering Wen Huaiyan's instructions, she gritted her teeth and said, "We are just following orders, Miss, please don't make things difficult for us."
Stubborn to the end!
A hint of impatience flashed across Wen Zhi's eyes, and she said, "Do you know that Li Ruo is currently in charge of several important projects for the Wen Group? If she disappears, all of these projects will come to a standstill. So you'd better let me in, otherwise, if it causes losses to the Wen Group, can you bear the responsibility?"
As she spoke, feeling that her intimidation was not enough, she brought up Old Master Wen again: "Moreover, if this matter were to reach my grandfather's ears, even my brother would probably be punished, let alone you. You'd better think it through!"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard's expression changed, and he became even more hesitant.
Although Wen Huaiyan is in charge now, everyone knows how ruthless Old Master Wen is, so who would dare to defy him?
Seeing the bodyguard hesitate, Wen Zhi raised an eyebrow and pressed her advantage, saying, "Never mind, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just go in and hand over the project's progress to Li Ruo and then leave. It won't waste too much time. When my brother comes back, he won't notice anything unusual, and the company's project won't be interrupted. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
Born into the Wen family, Wen Zhi was quite adept at manipulating people: "Besides, I'm just going up to hand over my work to Li Ruo. She won't get hurt or run away, so what do you have to worry about!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard was slightly taken aback, but then realized that it made some sense, so he could only nod in agreement and slowly withdrew his hand from Wen Zhi's side.
After all, they were insignificant and didn't want to offend either side.
Besides, with them guarding her, Li Ruo should be fine.
Seeing them obediently step aside, Wen Zhi scoffed and headed straight for the gate.
At the same time, Jiang Ze and the housekeeper quickly went upstairs to the second floor and waited at the door of Li Ruo's room.
