As soon as Xi Fu left the main hall, Young Master Lei San immediately summoned his subordinates who had returned with Xi Fu to question them about what had happened.
He was already quite vexed and really did not want to trouble himself with any more matters.
Very few people knew about the treasure, and he had never disclosed it. His trip to Northern Europe was to find reliable partners.
However, somehow, someone in the country had learned about the treasure after his departure and had even manipulated things behind the scenes while he was away. The danger to the Lei family was self-evident, but what he feared most was someone using Lei Xi Rui to threaten him.
The moment he knew the Lei family was no longer safe, he booked a plane ticket to return home to control the situation. At the same time, he planned to send Lei Xi Rui to France to escape the disaster. If possible, he would bring Lei Xi Rui back only after he had completely resolved the issue.
If he could not resolve the problem, Lei Xi Rui would be safe from implication in France and could continue her studies and life.
But he had no idea what kind of magic potion the Xia Qing Tian sisters had given Lei Xi Rui.
Not only did she repeatedly defy him, but she also jumped out of the window and ran away, staging a runaway drama.
In the process of searching for Lei Xi Rui, he was almost driven mad.
He was terrified that Lei Xi Rui would be kidnapped by those who knew the treasure's secret.
When Gu Yao Yang contacted him earlier, informing him that Lei Xi Rui had been taken by him and was safe,
He truly wanted to go and snatch her back.
However, Gu Yao Yang had persuaded him against it. Since Lei Xi Rui had indeed escaped on her own, it was better to let her suffer a bit outside. After all, she was safe with Gu Yao Yang, and he could still send people to protect her in secret.
Today was also because he had found and dealt with the mole within the Lei family, making the Lei family safe. He thought that after so many days, Lei Xi Rui should have settled down and returned home, so he instructed the subordinate who had been secretly protecting Lei Xi Rui to bring her back.
Who knew such a thing would happen…
When the subordinate stepped forward to remind them, the person named Shi Xing Wu, in order to protect Lei Xi Rui, had actually fought with them.
The young man was very strong, and they did not gain much from Shi Xing Wu. They were severely taught a lesson by this high school student.
This forced them to use a stun gun. Although it was a victory achieved through unfair means, they had no malicious intent. They only wanted to take the young lady away.
Just as Shi Xing Wu was electrocuted by the stun gun and paralyzed, Xi Fu suddenly appeared and used a silenced pistol.
Before they could react, Xi Fu fired two shots into Shi Xing Wu's abdomen.
"Say hello to Xia Qing Yu for me," Xi Fu whispered into Shi Xing Wu's ear in a voice only they could hear. "If you can live to see her."
Seeing Shi Xing Wu fall, the subordinate was stunned. Lei Xi Rui rushed forward to fight Xi Fu, but she was knocked out by Xi Fu's people and thrown to the subordinates: "What are you standing around for? It's better not to keep Young Master Lei San waiting for too long."
The subordinate then spoke with a troubled expression: "By then, some passers-by had already noticed, so we directly brought the young lady back."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Lei San frowned, finally understanding why Lei Xi Rui behaved that way, and why Xia Qing Tian made that inexplicable phone call.
"Is he still alive?" Young Master Lei San asked his subordinate.
"I don't know. It feels like... the chances are not high…" The subordinate shook his head with difficulty and said, "Young Master San, the young lady became like this due to shock. Please…"
"No need to say more," Young Master Lei San raised his hand to stop the subordinate. "You may leave."
"Yes." The subordinate then acknowledged and left the main hall.
Taking a deep breath, Young Master Lei San leaned back on the sofa, feeling his temples throbbing, and half his head throbbing painfully.
Meanwhile, Xia Qing Tian had also booked the earliest flight the next day to Kyoto.
"Sister, I'll go with you!" Xia Qing Yu did not want Xia Qing Tian to go on an adventure alone.
"I'll go too!" Li Xiao Zhong said sternly, "I will seek justice for Shi Xing Wu!"
"You don't need to go with me," Xia Qing Tian said softly. "You two stay behind to accompany the Shi family. If anything happens to Shi Xing Wu, you can notify me immediately."
"Then only one person should stay. Li Xiao Zhong, you stay. I..." Before Xia Qing Yu could finish, Xia Qing Tian interrupted.
"You both stay," Xia Qing Tian then put her arms around Xia Qing Yu and Li Xiao Zhong's shoulders. "Qing Yu, you stay with Mr. and Mrs. Shi. They cannot endure any more blows. Keep an eye on Mom and Dad too, don't let outsiders take advantage.
Xiao Zhong, you stay to take care of Shi Xing Wu. After all, you're both boys, so it'll be more convenient for you to care for him. If he wakes up, I believe he would want to see you by his side."
"But Sister, the Lei family…" Xia Qing Yu was still worried.
"I won't go on an adventure alone, don't worry," Xia Qing Tian said, patting Xia Qing Yu's head. "You must keep my trip to the Lei family a secret."
Xia Qing Yu and Li Xiao Zhong exchanged a look, then simultaneously looked at Xia Qing Tian and nodded vigorously.
"Sister Qing Tian, you be careful too, and stay safe," Li Xiao Zhong said to Xia Qing Tian with a heavy tone.
He did not want to lose anyone else around him.
"Don't worry," Xia Qing Tian paused before saying, "Don't tell your sister about today; it will scare her."
"Okay." Li Xiao Zhong nodded and lowered his eyes.
Before dawn, Xia Qing Tian left the hospital for the airport. Before Xia Qing Tian boarded the plane, she received news that Shi Xing Wu's condition had stabilized and he had been transferred to a regular ward, although he had not yet woken up. Shi Mu had also woken up from her coma, and Shi Guan Zhu was accompanying her. With her and Li Xiao Zhong looking after Shi Xing Wu, Xia Qing Tian could rest assured and take care of herself.
Seeing this news, Xia Qing Tian curved her lips into a faint smile, hung up the phone, and followed the airport's voice prompts to board the plane.
Knowing that Shi Xing Wu had been transferred to a regular ward and was out of danger, Xia Qing Tian could now confidently go to the Lei family to demand an explanation.
If Young Master Lei San did not give her an explanation and did not get justice for Shi Xing Wu, this matter would not be over!
After a two-hour flight, when Xia Qing Tian arrived at Kyoto Airport, in the arrival area corresponding to Terminal 3, two people were so hostile that they seemed ready to fight until blood was drawn to be considered polite.
"The weather is so nice today. Seeing something dirty so early in the morning is truly unlucky."
"The weather is so nice, it's a shame you aren't dead?"
Other people picking up passengers couldn't understand why these two young people were so fiery early in the morning.
They collectively took a step back, giving the two enough safe distance, so as not to get blood splashed on them.
