Chapter 432: Returning in vain
Li Xue stared at Lu Ling tightly with obvious doubts in her eyes.
The smile on Lu Ling's face was faint: "It's true that Eli is my fiancΓ©, but you were brought up by me, and you are also my sister."
At the mention of the word "sister", Li Xue's heart suddenly softened by half a point, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she was with Lu Ling, she took care of herself.
Lu Ling didn't look at her, and continued: "I am also a person who has been in it, and I know what you are facing before the task is completed, you are still young, and I can't bear to let you suffer this."
"Eli is different, I'm with him now, even if you find out something, I can face any trouble with him at that time, he has me to help him now, and you have no one to help you."
"That's why I'm helping you, I answer, are you still satisfied?"
After hearing this, Li Xue pursed her lips and didn't speak, but the vigilance in her eyes was obviously much less.
Lu Ling sighed in her heart, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "When I talk about this, believe it or not, there are many masters in the Will family, you should be more careful." β
After Lu Ling finished speaking, she left, leaving Li Xue alone.
The moonlight outside the window shone into the room, shrouding Li Xue's body, the back of the girl who was only a teenager looked very weak at the moment, and after a while, Li Xue's hand clenched into a fist suddenly let go, as if she had made up her mind, her figure flashed, and she went out of the room very quickly.
Somewhere outside the room, Lu Ling looked at the departing figure and walked out of the shadows, the expression on her face a little obscure.
Li Xue carefully avoided the guards in the Will family, and it took a lot of time to finally touch Eli's study, Li Xue looked around vigilantly, carefully twisted the handle, opened the door, and flashed in.
It was very dark in the room, Li Xue closed her eyes, adapted to the darkness, and then opened it, and Li Xue had a rough idea of where the items in the room were placed.
Li Xue first rummaged through the bookcase, then the desk, but found nothing, Li Xue did not give up, and carefully rummaged through the study, but suddenly heard a slight sound from the door, Li Xue noticed that something was wrong, and immediately jumped from the window, turned around, and landed safely.
The study door was opened, the whole room was illuminated by the light, the windows were open, and the curtains were slightly raised by the wind.
Eli paced to the window, glanced down, turned to the man behind her, and said, "She's still too young, isn't she?"
Lu Ling walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, her legs folded, her elbows propped up on the sofa, her eyes were a little gloomy, "She's too small, but there's nothing she can do." I don't know what I remembered, Lu Ling's expression was a little bitter.
"She didn't find anything, are you doing this to help her?" Eli raised an eyebrow.
"You don't have to worry about so much, just keep doing this scene, it's almost time, your people should appear in the living room, but you can't really catch them." Lu Ling smiled.
"They'll be there soon, don't worry."
In the living room, Jack and Winnie were waiting for Li Xue, and they didn't find anything, only hoping that Li Xue would gain something.
As soon as Li Xue appeared, Jack immediately asked, "Did you find anything?"
"I ......"
"Who?!" Before Li Xue finished speaking, several guards suddenly appeared around the living room.
"Not good! It's been discovered! Jack whispered.
The three of them quickly went into a state of alertness, standing back to back, staring at the guards vigilantly.
"Catch them!" One of the other guards shouted.
With an order, the guards rushed up together, a scuffle, although Li Xue is young, but his skills are not weak, but the other party is an adult after all, one of them is not noticed, and his arm was slashed, but he can't take care of it, the other party has more people than them, Li Xue gritted his teeth and continued to fight with them.
After a moment of scuffle, the three of them made a gap, and Jack shouted, "Withdraw!"
Those guards had already been ordered, intentionally or unintentionally to make way for them, and the three of them left the Will family smoothly.
As soon as they left the Will family's sphere of influence, the three of them had just breathed a sigh of relief, and a black car stopped in front of them, and the hearts of the three of them suddenly rose again.
The window was lowered, and a handsome face was revealed, with three-dimensional facial features in a foreign style, but the color of the eyes and hair was traditional inky black.
"Byron? How did you know we were here? When he found out that it was Byron, Jack's heart dropped a little.
"The people of the Will family are alarmed, how secretive do you think your actions are?" Byron's expression was smiling, which made the expression on Jack's face a little unbearable.
Jack and Winnie didn't look at him directly, only Li Xue, staring at Byron with dark eyes, without the embarrassment of being bumped into by someone who failed the mission.
Byron smiled, the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and the arc was not large, but it made the whole person publicize.
Li Xue sighed in her heart: He is really a super good-looking person, and he is really compatible with Sister Lu Ling.
"Get in the car, I've got a place for you to stay." Byron honked the horn, and the drip-drip-loud sound startled the three of Jack.
Jack was a little annoyed and pointed at Byron and said, "What are you doing! Wait for them to come after us, will a few of us be able to handle it? β
"Then don't get in the car quickly, if you don't get up, I'll leave." Byron glanced at Jack lightly, stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
Winnie was the first to open the door and sat in the co-pilot, and Li Xue then opened the door and sat in the back seat.
Jack was still a little hesitant in his heart, standing on the side of the road and not getting into the car for a long time, but suddenly there were many small footsteps behind him.
There was no time for Jack to hesitate, he immediately rushed into the car and closed the door, and said to Byron anxiously: "Hurry up, they are catching up!"
Byron stepped on the accelerator, the car drove out quickly, and the hearts of the three finally fell.
Eli led the people to where Jack had just stood, and looked at the approaching car, his eyes flashing with fierceness.
Byron took Jack and the others to one of his properties, and when they got out of the car, Byron found that Li Xue's arm was injured.
"Why didn't you say it if you hurt your hand?" Byron looked at Li Xue's hand and said.
"It's out of the way, it's just a cut." Because of excessive blood loss, Li Xue's face was pale and her lips lost their blood.
"Go in first, I have a medical kit inside, wait to bandage it." Byron took out the key and opened the door.
The four entered the house, and Byron went upstairs to get the medicine kit, leaving the three Jacks on the first floor.
Jack didn't care if Li Xue was injured or not, he grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and his eyes were staring at her tightly, like a vicious wolf, "Did you find any clues?" β
"You let go first." Li Xue was grabbed by him and her shoulder hurt, a look of pain appeared on her originally pale face, and her voice was weak.
Jack was stunned and continued to ask, "Did you find it?"
"Found it, you let go first!" Li Xue couldn't be scratched, so she had to lie.
When Jack heard this, a touch of joy appeared on his face, and he let go of his hand, Li Xue was liberated, and immediately took a few more steps back, away from Jack, to avoid being caught by him again.
"What ......"
Jack was just about to ask what he had found, but Byron happened to come down with the medicine kit, and he decisively shut up and stopped asking.
Byron didn't look at Jack, walked straight to Li Xue on the side, pulled her to sit down, opened the medicine box and gave Li Xue medicine.
The living room was quiet for a while, until the medicine box was closed, and Jack opened his mouth to give Byron an eviction order, "Byron, you avoid it first, I have something to ask Li Xue." β
"This is my house, and you let the master leave? Does this sound like a word? Byron looked at Jack with a mocking look in his eyes.
Then he teased Jack mercilessly, saying, "I know that your mission has failed, don't I know what you are going to do?" Jack, are you stupid for studying medicine? β
Jack's face was so blue that he was sarcastic, but he was under the eaves and had to bow his head, not to mention, he couldn't beat Byron.
"So, ask whatever you want." Byron leaned lazily on the couch with his legs folded.
Jack subconsciously knew that what Byron said was right, and now that Byron's power was expanding, if he wanted to know something, there was really nothing he didn't know.
In this way, Jack seemed to have found an excuse to convince himself, and asked Li Xue head-on: "What did you find?"
Li Xue was a little embarrassed to step down, the sentence just now was said by her in a hurry, she didn't find anything at all, "I didn't find it." β
"What! Didn't you say you found it? Jack let out a loud cry and got up from the couch.
"You just scratched me so much, I don't say that, you won't let go of me." Li Xue raised her head and met his gaze expressionlessly, her tone calm.
"Then what are you doing for so long! I can't do that! Jack Young was about to fight Li Xue with his hand on him.
Li Xue didn't hide, she was facing him straight, waiting for the palm to fall, and when she was still a few centimeters away from her, the expected pain did not come, and Jack's hand was grabbed by Byron and stopped.
Li Xue once again looked directly at the man Byron, he saved her twice today.
Byron easily pushed Jack's hand to the side, "You asked a ten-year-old girl to find out the situation, who is useless?" Didn't you go too, what did you find? β
Jack was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to refute, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath, and his face was suffocated.
"You've failed this mission anyway, so let's find another opportunity in the future." Byron said.
"I can't find out how Eliza died, and when the time comes, we will all be in trouble!" Jack angrily sat down on the couch.
Speaking of Bai Wu, several people in the room had nothing to say, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
Byron sat on the couch squinting, not knowing what he was thinking, and Winnie kept looking at Byron, the man she had always liked.
