Hearing this, Ji Beimu's eyes darkened, "It seems that you know everything."

Xia Yanxi sighed softly, "I know you don't want me to blame myself, but actually last night when I saw your hesitation and hesitation, I already guessed that Si Chengzhou's escape was related to me."

Si Chengzhou must have regarded her as a threat and asked Ji Beimu to let him go.

Otherwise, she couldn't have escaped from the 'tiger's mouth' last night.

Ji Beimu leaned back, twirling the pen, and said in a low voice, "Since it's all over, there's no need to mention it."

"But—" Xia Yanxi bit her lip, her expression tangled.

The man's bony fingers tapped lightly on the desk, "That's just my own choice, I let you get involved in this matter, if I fail to take good care of you, I will blame myself even more."

"What's more, the matter is over now, and it's meaningless to say these words. What you can do now is to seriously handle all the work I gave you."

Listening to his serious words, Xia Yanxi didn't want to distract him by talking about these things, so she nodded and continued to work.

That night, Zhao Bin hurried over, "Third Master, I just saw the butler downstairs in the office building, and he said he wanted to see you."

Xia Yanxi raised her head in surprise when she heard this, "Are you sure it's Butler Sun?"

"That's right." Zhao Bin nodded, with a firm expression on his face, "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, I've already had him controlled just now. Third Master, do you want to see him?"

Ji Beimu's thin lips curled slightly, "Since he dared to come back, why didn't I see him?"

Zhao Bin nodded, "I understand, I'll have someone bring him up now."

After a while, Butler Sun was brought in.

Seeing him again, Xia Yanxi's expression was complicated.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a day, she could still clearly recall the fierce look on Butler Sun's face when he tied her up last night.

Ji Beimu was already sitting on the sofa, holding a cigar between his slender fingertips.

He raised his head, his deep black eyes made it impossible to clearly capture his emotions.

Butler Sun ignored Xia Yanxi and Zhao Bin's probing gazes, and when he looked at Ji Beimu, there was no trace of fear on his face.

He smiled and said, "Third Master, have you never thought that I would dare to appear in front of you?"

The man took a deep puff of the cigar, and the lingering smoke blurred his handsome face.

After a while, he opened his mouth: "There is nothing unexpected, just tell me why you came."

Butler Sun turned around and saw that Xia Yanxi said with a half-smile, "I want to borrow someone from you."

"You want to take her away?" Ji Beimu sneered, "You think it will be easy for me?"

Xia Yanxi frowned slightly, "Take me away, what will it do to you?"

"You'll know about this kind of thing later." Steward Sun stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "But if you don't follow me, a disaster will erupt in Tanglin Group soon."

After the words fell, Xia Yanxi and Zhao Bin's expressions changed.

Ji Beimu's expression didn't change much, and he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xia Yanxi looked at the sneer on Butler Sun's lips, and always felt that this person had become very strange.

Every detail of how she used to get along with Butler Sun came to her mind, and she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the person who took good care of her and Xia Jinyuan in the past turned against them in the end.

Zhao Bin took a step forward and said with a cold face: "Don't think that you can scare us with such words. Tanglin Group has grown into a top ten large enterprise in China. I really think that others can easily shaking?"

Butler Sun snorted coldly, "You are really confident, since you also know that this is only in the country. Looking at the whole country, don't you know how many forces there are?"

Zhao Bin frowned even deeper, and couldn't find the right words to refute for a while.

He has been by Ji Beimu's side for so many years, of course he also knows what there are mountains beyond people.

Xia Yanxi looked at Ji Beimu worriedly, with mixed emotions in her heart.

Although she didn't know the purpose of those people taking her away, in case Ji Beimu was in danger because of her lack of cooperation——

Ji Beimu looked up and met her gaze.

Before Xia Yanxi could speak, the man took the lead and said, "Do you think I'll let a woman cover me?"

Butler Sun clenched his lips, "I know you have always been a gentleman, and I know that you are very protective of Miss Xia. But there is only one chance. Have you forgotten what happened to you six years ago?"

After the voice fell, the atmosphere in the office became more condensed.

Zhao Bin's complexion gradually became livid.

Six years ago, Ji Beimu was assassinated by a confidant and almost died because of it.

That incident caused quite a stir at the time, and many people took the opportunity to overthrow Ji Beimu's influence.

Fortunately, Ji Beimu managed to stabilize everything in the end, but that incident also hurt his vitality.

"Third Master, otherwise I..." Xia Yanxi felt the solemn atmosphere and hesitated to speak.

Ji Beimu glanced at her warningly, Xia Yanxi had to shut up.

He stood up and stared at Steward Sun condescendingly, "Go back and tell Si Chengzhou to let him come here. If I am really his defeated opponent, I will admit it."

"But if he wants to threaten me with this kind of thing, it's wishful thinking!"

Seeing his firm attitude, Xia Yanxi thought of what he said to herself just now, and she was full of gratitude in her heart.

No matter what the purpose of Ji Beimu's decision is, as long as she is not pushed to the forefront, it is already the greatest kindness to her.

Steward Sun narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Ji Beimu threateningly, "You really made up your mind, so you're not afraid of any consequences?"

"Zhao Bin, there is no need to bring him up in the future." Ji Beimu sat back on the sofa and ordered in a cold voice, his attitude was already very obvious.

"Yes!" Zhao Bin immediately asked Butler Sun to be driven away.

Xia Yanxi also knew that Steward Sun was just a puppet of Si Chengzhou, even if he was captured, it would not bring them any benefit at all.

Seeing that Butler Sun had been taken away, she still couldn't help but said to Ji Beimu, "Thank you very much this time."

"This is my own decision and has nothing to do with you." The man said calmly.

Xia Yanxi had no choice but to look out, thinking of the meaningful look in Sun Butler's eyes before leaving, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart did not dissipate for a long time.

That night she lay on the big soft bed, tossing and turning.

From time to time, the words Butler Sun said today echoed in her mind. When she closed her eyes, her body seemed to be pulled down by several hands, as if she was drowning in sea water. The feeling of suffocation was unbearable for her.

"Still thinking about that?" The man turned over and hugged her gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
