Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Guarantee with What of His
“What if I can’t do it?” Li Beijue pressed again, more urgently.
Old Master Li’s face fell even more. His already imposing grandeur intensified as he looked at him, “What do you mean? Are you suggesting I need to sign my name and put my seal on it?”
“No need, I want your guarantee. Use…” His thin lips briefly touched, unyielding, “Use my life as the guarantee!”
“What exactly are you up to?” To use his life as a guarantee, to guarantee what? Does he think he’s an ordinary man? He is the heir he values the most, the future ruler of the Li family! Could his life be casually used to ensure the survival of an ordinary woman?
Li Beijue didn’t consider Chi Enen ordinary. In his eyes, Chi Enen was the most extraordinary being. She was more important than his own life, and he could tolerate anything but not her being harmed! Because Chi Enen was his Achilles’ heel, his bottom line.
“I’m not playing around. I want your guarantee, with my life on the line, that as long as I meet your demands, you can’t lay a finger on her!”
The only reason he was still here negotiating with the old man wasn’t that he feared the old man, but because Chi Enen was in the old man’s hands!
So, he needed a guarantee, an absolute guarantee!
Old Master Li’s cheek muscles twitched, and after half a moment, he finally spoke, “I guarantee it.”
Just those three words, and Li Beijue knew that if Chi Enen was really in his hands, based on those words, he wouldn’t touch a hair on Chi Enen’s head!
He struggled to control the frenzy in his chest, his lips briefly touching as he agreed, “Fine, I accept your terms.”
He just wanted Chi Enen to be safe!
No matter the cost, he just wanted that woman to be safe and sound!
Old Master Li’s tense muscles relaxed slightly, his expression softened a bit, and he noticed the torn wound on his back. Although he still had a stern face, he spoke, “Since you’re here, take a break, and let my doctor treat the wound on your back.”
Li Beijue hardly paused for a second before flatly rejecting.
“I don’t want to stay here for one more minute, and I don’t want to see you. Seeing you makes me feel an urge to put a gun to your head to force you to hand her over!”
This statement was not only forceful but also defiant!
The bodyguards in the villa immediately tensed, ready to act if he were to follow through on his words.
The old butler was terrified.
Had the young master lost his mind?
To directly say such things to Old Master Jue.
Li Beijue was indeed out of his mind; Chi Enen was missing, and there was little difference between him and a madman at this point. His gaze didn’t even flicker towards Old Master Li or the bodyguards filling the room. He turned and left—
He strode away with large steps, but the slight tremor in his walk revealed that his physical condition was far from as good as he appeared outwardly.
The old butler, concerned, turned back and fretfully said, “Old Master Jue, the young master he…”
Old Master Li’s eyes suddenly shut, then snapped open again. Despite the signs of age, they were still clear and rational, “Leave him be. As long as Miss Chi hasn’t been found, he won’t be in any danger.”
Although he wouldn’t admit it, judging from his actions yesterday and today, his most esteemed grandson had completely fallen for that ordinary little lady.
“Jason, I remember you told me this morning that she was rescued by a group of people with unknown identities?”
“Yes. Miss Chi was saved and taken away by them.”
He pressed down on his dragon head crutch, deep in thought for a moment, then instructed the old butler, “Go investigate, find out the identity of that group.”
