Hearing Li Xing’er’s words, Butler Liu’s eyes instantly lit up. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. When he saw Li Xing’er, it was as if he had seen his savior. “Miss Li! Miss Li!”
Li Xing’er was dumbfounded. She did not expect this man to look at her so gratefully.
“Quickly call the police! I beg you, I’ll admit my guilt. I shouldn’t have tried to hurt Miss Qiao! It’s all my fault. Quickly take me away. Please do me a favor and quickly take me away! Save me!”
Li Xing’er responded, “Huh?”
The bodyguards were even more at a loss.
Li Xing’er was silent for a moment. She still did not understand what was going on. Who was trying to hurt who? Why was this man so afraid?
She asked in confusion, “Didn’t you want to hurt Qiao Xi with a knife? Why are you asking for help?”
In the surveillance footage, this man was the one following Qiao Xi the entire time. Moreover, he was holding a knife in his hand. He definitely had ill intentions. Why was he asking for help now? Moreover, he even asked the police to quickly capture him. They had never seen such a crazy criminal.
“I was wrong! Quickly call the police! Miss Li, you’re a good person. Save me! If you don’t call the police now, I’ll die here. I don’t want to die!”
Li Xing’er was even more puzzled. Just as she was feeling puzzled, Gu Yao leaned in front of her and muttered a few words. Then, Li Xing’er suddenly looked up at Qiao Xi with a shocked and respectful gaze.
Qiao Xi lowered her head, and she was embarrassed that she wished for nothing more than to find a hole to hide in.
Li Xing’er held Qiao Xi’s hand with a look of admiration. “Xi Xi! You’re really too smart. You knew that this man was following you, so you deliberately lured him to this private room and even tied him up!”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘If you say so!’
“Not only are you smart, but you also know martial arts! When I first came in, I thought Gu Yao beat him up like this! So it was you! You’re really too awesome!”
Qiao Xi: “…” ‘Stop talking, Xing’er.’
Li Xing’er still asked curiously, “With your thin arms and legs, how can you take down an adult man? Moreover, he had a knife in his hand! Teach me. I want to be as powerful as you. If anyone bullies me in the future, I’ll punch them!
“I announce that you’re my goddess!”
In Li Xing’er’s impression, Qiao Xi had always been a weak little girl who had to be protected by others at all times. Unexpectedly, she could actually defeat a man with her bare hands. Moreover, this man was even crying and begging for mercy. The contrast was really unbelievable.
Qiao Xi lowered her head with a lonely expression.
It was over. Her image as a weak woman had completely collapsed.
She originally only wanted to secretly deal with Butler Liu, but she did not expect Gu Yao to barge in. Li Xing’er even rushed in with her bodyguards. It was hard to explain things now.
Butler Liu was still begging Li Xing’er to save him when footsteps came from the door. They were heavy and slow as they stepped on everyone’s hearts.
Gu Zheng’s tall figure appeared at the door, and Qiao Xi gasped.
The man coldly swept his gaze across the people in the room, then he looked at Butler Liu. In the end, his gaze landed on Qiao Xi, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
Butler Liu’s body suddenly froze. His face was filled with fear, and his veins were bulging. He shouted crazily at Li Xing’er, “Miss Li! Quickly call the police! Save me! I beg you!”
Li Xing’er was stunned for a moment and could not help but look at Gu Zheng. The man was expressionless.
Song Shijing, who was behind her, went forward and said respectfully, “Miss Li, thank you for saving Young Madam. Leave this man to us.”
Li Xing’er had always admired Gu Zheng. Not only was this man handsome, but he was also capable. Since Song Shijing had said so, she did not have to interfere in this matter. She smiled and said, “Alright! We’ll go first.”
Gu Zheng nodded slightly at her, then looked at Gu Yao.
Meeting Gu Zheng’s eyes, Gu Yao was so scared that his entire body trembled. His body suddenly tensed up as he hurriedly said, “I’m leaving too! I don’t know anything! I’m just here to take a walk!”
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Butler Liu’s eyes were filled with despair. His face was pale and bruised like a corpse.
“Xi Xi,” Gu Zheng said softly.
Li Xing’er had just turned around and was about to leave when she heard Qiao Xi, who was like a God of Death just now, whimper weakly. That voice was especially delicate as if it was produced by a very weak woman. Then, she heard Qiao Xi cry, “Ah Zheng, I’m so scared! Boo-hoo!”
