Chapter 643: Chapter 643: My Life is in Danger Right Now
The rampant anger in his chest found no outlet, and Li Beijue punched the wall again with ferocity!
His hand was already a mangled mess from self-flagellation, and with each punch, he left a red mark on the wall!
Huo Yi knew from his reaction that Li Beijue hadn’t taken in a word he’d said, so he added, “Master Jue, Miss Chi is definitely not in mortal danger! If Miss Chi really hadn’t been rescued, the police wouldn’t have kept searching all night without finding anyone.”
This answer was much more reassuring than the feeble hope that had lingered before, and the crimson in Li Beijue’s eyes finally receded somewhat.
With thin lips tightly pressed together, he clenched his bleeding fist, and in his bottomless, dark pupils, he stared into Huo Yi’s eyes and commanded, “Repeat what you just said first!”
Huo Yi, having been by his side the longest, was quick to respond and said decisively again, “Master Jue, Miss Chi is definitely not in mortal danger!”
That woman is definitely not in mortal danger?
Although he wouldn’t believe it until he saw that woman with his own eyes, hearing those words eased his mind a bit, “Are you sure?”
Even if Huo Yi wasn’t sure right now, he had to be sure in this situation! His gaze was firm, he enunciated every word, “Yes, Master Jue, I am very certain Miss Chi is definitely not in mortal danger.”
Miss Chi mustn’t be in mortal danger. If anything truly happened to her, he didn’t dare think what Li Beijue would do.
Li Beijue’s ashen face finally softened a little, and with an emotionless glance at him, he spoke coldly, “Very well, you’ve said it. If she’s not safe and sound as you’ve said, then prepare yourself to spend a lifetime mining coal in Country T!”

Perhaps because he had slightly relaxed the tension that had been strung tight, the pain from his injury on the back suddenly surged. After the morning’s events, his injuries had worsened, and it was only by sheer fury that he had been able to keep going. Now, as Huo Yi’s assurances calmed him a little, just a little, the taste of blood pushed up his throat, rising irresistibly.
Li Beijue coughed violently, desperately holding back, but still a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth…
“Master Jue!” Huo Yi reacted quickly, steadying him, only to find that his complexion was particularly pale, as if he had lost too much blood.
“I’m fine.” Li Beijue shrugged off his hand and took a shaky step forward. Suddenly he asked, “Do you think Chi Enen is really in the old man’s hands?”
Walking in front, Huo Yi saw his back.
His shirt was completely soaked with blood; some had coagulated and was sticking to his back, while some was freshly oozing, a stark, bright red.
Unaware that he had sustained such serious injuries yet still concerned about Miss Chi as if nothing was amiss, Huo Yi couldn’t care less about protocol; he turned to leave, “Master Jue, I will arrange a doctor for you immediately!”
Li Beijue knit his brows as if he could squash a fly between them, his falcon-like eyes narrowing sharply, “No, first help me investigate. I want you to spare no expense to find out if the people who went into the sea to rescue Chi Enen were really the old man’s men!”
“Master Jue! Miss Chi’s issue can wait, if we don’t treat your injuries now, you will be in mortal danger!” For the first time, Huo Yi went against his order, insisting on finding a doctor first.
Li Beijue’s unfathomably dark pupils swept over him as he pronounced every word, “If we can’t find that woman again, my life is already in danger!”
