The first person Xia He saw when he opened his eyes was not Chu He. It was a group of strange men.
She didn't know any of them, nor had she met them through any channels.
This is a group of men in straight suits. They have tall and straight bodies and stern faces. They look like a group of special men performing special tasks.
In fact, they flew from New York to Baicheng to carry out a special and difficult mission.
Protect Xia He.
The second young lady of the Xia family.
"You're finally awake." The person guarding the bedside was none other than Bai Qiu, a very senior member of the Miao Sect.
There was a kind smile on his old face, as well as a subtle hint of relief.
She finally woke up.
The boss's heir finally woke up.
"You are——"
Xia He, who was seriously injured, looked pale, but still asked softly and politely. There was confusion in his eyes, but more of he was resigned to his fate.
She didn't know them, but she might know their purpose.
Have they finally come?
"My name is Bai Qiu." The old man said kindly and softly. "From today on, I will be your most loyal servant."
servant?
Only people with distinguished status can have their own servants. Xia He is an ordinary student. To be more specific, she also owns a bar that was recaptured by Chuhe. Other than that, she is no different from ordinary people. With her
Due to her heavy status, she cannot have a so-called servant. Unless——
"I'm just an ordinary girl." Xia He said bitterly. "I don't need servants."
"You were once an ordinary girl." Bai Qiu smiled. "But from now on, you will be our distinguished second young lady. We will try our best to complete everything you ask for. We will also do what you want in your heart."
Try your best to do it. Because - from today on, you will have a financial empire all over the world. And this empire will operate with you as its core."
"I -" Xia He said softly with a twinkling color in his weak and charming eyes. "I don't have this ability."
"We will help you. Help you become a leader respected by the world." Bai Qiu felt Xia He's rejection and said firmly. "This is your destiny. From the day you were born, your life has been doomed."
You can't violate your destiny, and you dare not violate your father's orders.
Xia He knew it and had been waiting in fear.
Finally - this day has finally come. It's not too early, but it is destined to be cruel.
Xia He fell silent.
You can also hear needle drops in the ward.
After a long time, Bai Qiu finally spoke up again and said softly: "You can still stay in Baicheng."
This is a cruel decision. Bai Qiu clearly feels Xia He's reluctance and confusion. After all, she is just a child from a single-parent family. She may be stronger than ordinary people and more independent than ordinary girls. But what she is about to face
What is it? It is something that even Bai Qiu feels stressed about.
"Really?" Xia He's tone suddenly rose and he looked at Bai Qiu in disbelief.
"Yes." Bai Qiu said softly. "One year. You can stay in Baicheng for another year. After that, you will accept the arrangement of Boss Xia, your father, and go to New York."
"One year——"
Xia He looked at the ceiling with dull and empty eyes, muttering to himself: "It's really not long."
"Every separation in life is for a better goodbye." Bai Qiu said earnestly.
"There will always be a separation that turns into a farewell forever." Xia He tilted his head slightly and looked at Bai Qiu with blurred vision. "Is there ever a farewell in your life?"
Facing Xia He's moist and sad gaze, Bai Qiu tilted his head slightly and whispered softly: "Second Miss, you will receive the most complete protection."
Xia He was silent again.
The most comprehensive protection?
No matter what the facts are, Xia He can only feel safe when he is with Director Chu. Except for him, no one can give Xia He this stability and attachment.
"Sister Xia!"
The excited voice of the little Loli came from outside the door. But before she arrived at the door, she saw a group of strange men in suits. For a moment, the little Loli's heart sank. She glanced sharply at the group of men in suits and quickly entered the ward.
Her injuries have improved a lot. Although she is still in the hospital for observation in hospital clothes, according to her personal opinion, she can leave at any time. She doesn't leave because Sister Xia is still here. She doesn't leave because she is waiting.
Chu He. Chu He who is waiting to avenge Xia He.
Xia He didn't know Chu He's whereabouts, but she knew it all.
She still remembered Chu He's cold eyes when he said goodbye. She could guess that Chu He was going to seek revenge. To seek revenge against Longmen.
She promised Chu He that she would protect Xia He's safety, but now it seems that she is going to break her promise.
She must not be able to defeat this group of people.
She must not dare to take action against this group of people.
Because - this group of bodyguards in suits used to be Uncle Xia's personal bodyguards. And the leader was the super butler of the Xia family dynasty. No matter how arrogant and domineering the little lolita was, she would not dare to take action against Uncle Bai, whom even the master respected very much.
"Why are you here?"
The little Loli restrained her exposed emotions and asked respectfully and tentatively.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" Bai Qiu asked with a smile.
"Of course not." Little Loli shook her head. "It's just that the master didn't mention to me that you would come."
"Does your master want to tell you every decision in advance?" Bai Qiu smiled. "Huo'er, you have lived up to the trust of the eldest lady. The eldest lady asked me to convey a message to you."
"What?" the little Loli asked anxiously.
The only person she fears in her life is her cold and ruthless master.
"Thank you." Bai Qiu said solemnly
Thank you?
The little loli was stunned.
Then he cried again.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and big tears rolled down. They were like crystal clear pearls, heartbreaking.
The master said - thank me?
Isn't it natural for a disciple to do things for his master?
Why say thank you?
Moreover - I am willing to protect Sister Xia without any dissatisfaction or rejection. So why thank you?
Saying thank you doesn't prove that you are an outsider?
For a moment, the feeling of loneliness spread throughout the body. The little Loli suddenly felt as cold as water and could not control herself.
But after half a year of tempering during her uncle's absence, she had already become stronger. At least she was much stronger than when her uncle had stayed at Xia's house. When her tears were about to fall to the ground, she raised her fingers and quickly wiped away the porcelain face.
With tears on his face, he bit his lip and said, "Then please tell the master - you're welcome."
"I will." Bai Qiu nodded and said calmly.
"Uncle Bai, I'm tired." Xia He said softly.
"Understood." Bai Qiu smiled. "Second Miss, they will stay in the hospital to protect your safety around the clock. If you need anything, you can ask them to do it."
"Yeah." Xia He nodded.
"Then I won't disturb the second lady's rest." Bai Qiu stood up and glanced at the little Loli lightly. He did not leave immediately.
"She will stay with me for a while." Xia He explained.
"Okay." Bai Qiu nodded and turned around to go out.
Creak.
When the door closed again, the little Loli forced a smile, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Sister Xia, you will be more impressive in the future."
Xia He gently stared at the little Loli's heart-wrenching face, raised his hand, touched her cheeks as smooth as egg whites, and said softly: "Are you unhappy?"
"No." Little Loli forced a smile. "In the future, I will feel much more relaxed if Master's subordinates will personally protect you."
"Really?" Xia He said softly, "Are you blaming her in your heart?"
"Who is to blame?" the little Loli asked in confusion.
"Your master. My sister." Xia He asked softly.
"How is it possible -" the little Loli said very seriously. "The master raised me and cultivated me. Without the master, there would be no me. How could I blame her? Sister Xia, you know? Even if the master asked me to die,
I will definitely do it. I will not let Master down."
Xia He sighed softly and held the little Loli's cold hand: "I can stay in Baicheng for one more year. After one year, I will go to New York."
"So fast?" Little Loli asked in surprise.
"What about you?" Xia He asked little Loli. "Are you going back to her or staying with him?"
The little loli was speechless.
Going back?
Are you going back to serve the master?
A year ago, little Loli would have chosen to leave Baicheng and return to New York without hesitation.
She likes life in New York. She prefers to live with her master. Even if the master is cold and ruthless, she is the master who raised her and gave her new life. Without the cultivation of her master, she would never be where she is today.
But now——
She hesitated.
Because the master has changed.
Because - she has also changed.
She has grown up.
Have the ability to think for yourself. Know what you like, what you need, what you desire——
Once upon a time, the master struggled alone, and the little Lolita was willing to do anything for the master, even to die.
Now, the master has received everything Uncle Xia has given her. She is rich, powerful, surrounded by countless strong soldiers and masters. Does she still need herself?
Maybe - the master has forgotten himself?
Otherwise, how could she let Uncle Bai say thank you to her?
Otherwise, how could she not contact him for so long?
Otherwise, when Uncle Bai came here, why didn't the master tell him in advance?
Maybe - the master no longer needs him?
The ward fell silent again.
Deathly silence.
Xia He gently stared at the cute and innocent face of the little Loli, but the little Loli lowered her head gently and remained silent.
a long time.
The two silent people spoke out at the same time.
"Don't tell Director Chu."
"Don't let uncle know."
Xia He said.
Don't tell Director Chu.
Just like Director Chu never told her everything. Life needs lies, life needs beautiful lies.
The little loli said, don't let the uncle know.
She simply didn't want her uncle to be sad because of this.
They were all prepared to endure it all silently.
A year is not long. It really is not long. Let them enjoy this rare cohabitation life together!
Click!
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure covered in sweat and stinking suddenly entered the ward. When he saw Xia He lying quietly on the bed, the figure said excitedly and uncontrollably: "You - are you awake?"
"Yes." Xia He looked at Chu He tenderly. "I'm awake."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Chu He strode to the bed and held her soft palm.
"No." Xia He smiled softly. "It's very good. If the doctor hadn't told me not to get out of bed, I would have planned to go downstairs with Huo'er to have a big meal."
Chu He grinned and said, "What do you want to eat? I went home and made some for you."
Xia He tilted his head and thought for a while, pretending to be greedy and said: "Stew pig's trotters, braised pork. The pig's trotters should be stewed until they are tender, and the sugar content of the braised pork should be moderate."
"I want it too, I want it too!" Little Loli raised her hands excitedly. "I want to eat stir-fried shredded beef. This time in addition to adding green and red peppers, I also have to cut a yellow pepper and put it in."
Chu He patted the little Loli's head lovingly: "Why are you so particular?"
"I saw it on TV." Little Loli giggled. "Uncle, don't cut corners."
"Don't worry. Uncle is not this kind of person." Chu He pinched little Loli's baby cheeks and said with a straight face, "Take good care of you, Sister Xia. I'll bring it to you when I'm done."
"Yeah." Little Loli added. "Uncle, make me some egg custard while cooking. The bibimbap is delicious."
Chu He laughed loudly: "No problem."
After saying that, Chu He stood up and left the ward. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind the little Lolita not to disturb Xia He for too long, so as not to affect Xia He's recovery process. The Little Lolita agreed wholeheartedly and impatiently urged the uncle to go home quickly.
meal.
Chu He walked out of the ward with a smile. As the door closed, pain suddenly appeared on his smiling face. The smile that had been squeezed out all faded away, making it difficult to maintain.
Staggering through the corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, Chu He quickly leaned on the window and spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood. His face turned pale.
"Uh-"
Chu He's eyes were cloudy, and his originally energetic face was even more decadent. He seemed to be suffering from a serious illness and was extremely weak.
"Mr. Chu, I heard that you have gone crazy."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Chu He, who was wiping the blood on his lips, turned slightly, his eyes fell on the face of the old man behind him, and he said unexpectedly: "Old Bai, why are you here?"
"The eldest lady asked me to come." Bai Qiu said calmly.
Chu He nodded slightly, a hint of complexity flashed in his dim eyes. But he didn't ask any more questions, and just said calmly: "Please keep it a secret for me."
"Of course." Bai Qiu said with some confusion. "But I heard that you broke into the Dragon Gate alone and defeated the group of Dragon Gate strong men. Logically speaking, you have come out of the predicament. Why——"
Chu He shook his head: "I don't know."
Chu He really didn't know.
He thought that he had recovered and broken through the realm to a higher level. In fact, he did possess the powerful strength of the top of the rules and the realm of transformation, and thus cut off Li Meng's arm. But -
When he boarded the flight back to Baicheng, he faced the most terrifying test in his life.
pain!
The pain is so painful that every inch of skin seems to split. The pain is so painful that the brain seems to burst! The pain is so painful that all the bones and muscles in the body feel as if they no longer belong to me.
During the less than three-hour flight, Chu He was sweating layer by layer. He fell into a semi-conscious state again and again. However, he was still unable to relieve the pain through sleep.
After getting off the plane, Chu He, who was almost exhausted from the pain, went straight to the hospital. He met Xia He who woke up from a coma, and promised to cook for the two girls before he walked out of the ward exhausted. But after leaving the ward, he could no longer endure it.
Unable to bear the extreme pain, he sweated profusely and vomited a pool of blood. His legs became weak.
"I wonder if Mr. Chu has heard a word." Bai Qiu stared at Chu He meaningfully, with a hint of difficulty in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Chu He asked back.
Bai Qiu said word by word, "The devil is ten feet tall."
Chu He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Qiu calmly: "What's the explanation?"
"How does the Dragon King evaluate your situation?" Bai Qiu asked curiously.
Dragon King.
Chu Lin's nickname.
He is Baicheng Qinglong. He is also the super soldier king who shocked the world. Because the translations in various countries are not uniform, many people respectfully call him the Dragon King and the Dragon Leader.
"He said he has never been possessed by demons." Chu He answered calmly.
When Bai Qiu heard this, he slowly said: "The Dragon King is so powerful that he has indeed not become a demon. But he has once seen a peak powerhouse in China become a demon."
"Who?" Chu He asked back.
"My senior brother, the new head of Miaomen. Shang Tianya, Boss Xia, Ditian's master." Bai Qiu said word by word. "Yun Feiyang."
The clouds are flying.
The most amazing owner in the history of Miaomen.
He not only extended the influence of Miaomen to the world, becoming the largest and most influential ancient sect. He also became an organization on the surface and was recognized by heads of state. He also taught three super giants who were at the top of their game and led the way.
decades.
But in the end - this tyrannical and arrogant older generation tycoon also went crazy!
"What's the result?" Chu He asked expressionlessly.
"Be possessed and die."
