Chapter 985: Chapter 985: Old Master Li Orders to Return Back

A good night’s dream.

When Chi Enen woke up, she realized that her entire body was sore, every muscle felt as if it had been pulled painfully, and even moving required effort.

Because her body was too exhausted, although she had woken up, she didn’t immediately open her eyes.

She unintentionally heard voices speaking in the room.

One of the voices sounded like Huo Yi’s.

“Master Jue, the Old Master wants you to return immediately. The Old Butler has already called three times to urge you. The Old Master also said that if you don’t come back right away, he’ll fly over to look for you himself.”

Li Beijue furrowed his eyebrows and said impatiently, “I know.”

“Are you planning to go back?” Huo Yi sounded worried, “The Old Master is furious over yesterday’s loss. If you go back now, I’m afraid…”

Afraid that the enraged Old Master would punish Master Jue.

After all, since Master Jue took over family affairs, he had never made such a severe decision-making mistake. But yesterday, Miss Chi was in a car accident and went missing, and it was discovered to be Miss Qiyun’s doing. Master Jue simply didn’t have any time to handle other matters. The resulting loss of over one hundred billion wasn’t entirely Master Jue’s fault.

But this reasoning surely wouldn’t satisfy the Old Master.

The Old Master only cares about results, not processes. In the Old Master’s eyes, a mistake is a mistake; there’s no justification for why the mistake occurred!

“I must go back!” Li Beijue knew exactly what kind of person the old man was and was well aware of the massive losses his decision had caused the family this time.

But he had to go back!

Ever since Li Qiyun told him about the Habsden family matters, he might have ignored them before, but now, he needed greater power and stronger strength to protect Chi Enen.

Therefore, the Li family’s power must remain firmly in his hands.

He couldn’t allow anyone to exploit any opportunities!

Huo Yi did not understand why he was so insistent on going back instead of waiting for the Old Master’s temper to cool down a bit first. Hesitating, Huo Yi asked, “Then, Master Jue, what about Miss Chi?”

Li Beijue’s mood darkened with clouds at the thought of being separated from Chi Enen for several days. His thin lips pressed into a firm line, and he instructed Huo Yi, “You stay here and take care of Chi Enen and Baby Chi.”

After speaking, he added, “Until I return, keep her away from Xi Zelie as much as possible!”

He trusted Chi Enen but did not trust Xi Zelie!

If he could, he wished he could pack the woman up and take her with him! But he wasn’t going away for leisure this time; he was returning to the Li family, and the old man clearly wouldn’t accept her yet. If he brought her along now, he worried she might suffer at the hands of the old man!

“I understand, rest assured, Master Jue. I will certainly take good care of Miss Chi and the Little Young Master,” Huo Yi promised earnestly.

After saying that, he asked, “By the way, Master Jue, when do you plan to depart?” The Old Master had already been urging him, so Master Jue should be leaving soon, right?

When…? Li Beijue narrowed his eyes and pressed his thin lips tightly, just as he was about to say he’d wait until Chi Enen woke up to decide, a woman’s resolute voice came from behind him, “I want to go too!”

“Miss Chi, you’re awake?” Huo Yi looked over in shock.

Li Beijue’s temple twitched as his gaze swept over with an icy sharpness like it could carve bone; a trace of irritation flashed across his handsome face!

Damn it!

He knew Chi Enen was here — why couldn’t Huo Yi have taken his conversation elsewhere? Didn’t he know how to keep his mouth shut outside of her presence?

Huo Yi, scolded by one glare, realized his mistake and dropped his head.

Chi Enen sat up, looked at the man’s back as he stood with his back to her, and said firmly, “I want to go too!”
