In any case, a bloody incident occurred at night. Xuanyuan Bei fired a gun, but was still strangely seriously injured. An Beibei kept saying that there was a ghost, and the ghost she described was exactly the same as the skeleton missionary that had been circulating in the castle. Many people felt scared in their hearts, but even if they were scared, they couldn't leave the castle in this weather.

No matter how scary the rumors were, Leo seemed not to notice. He was no longer the kid who forced himself not to cry and stubbornly told those who didn't believe him that he had really seen a ghost. On the contrary, no matter whether the ghost in the rumor really existed or not, it did not arouse his interest at all.

On the way back, Leo held Bai Yao's hand and walked with her along the corridor where the sound of wind and rain echoed. He leaned down and told her, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid."

Bai Yao raised her eyes to look at him and replied naturally, "Because you will protect me?"

Leo smiled, "Of course."

He didn't care whether there really were ghosts, nor did he care how many people would be injured or killed. The only thing he cared about was the lover who had stood by him from the age of six to nineteen.

Bai Yao interlocked her fingers with his, and the two continued to move forward. She was in a happy and relaxed mood, not affected at all by the unexpected events of tonight. "Of course I also know that you will protect me. I have the most powerful, handsomest, and most charming Lord Leo in the world to protect me, so I won't be afraid of such things."

The corners of Leo's lips couldn't help but rise. Before, he was annoyed because Bai Yao described it as "short" which was far from the truth. He secretly made up his mind not to let her touch him for the next few days. However, in such a short time, he felt happy because of her few words.

To be honest, it was his own fault. It was because he was so easy to please that Bai Yao was able to act so unscrupulously and always act on his weak spots.

The wind and rain tonight are so strong that the branches and leaves keep hitting the windows, like wild beasts dancing with bared fangs and claws, eager to devour their prey.

Leo put his arm around Bai Yao's shoulders and pressed her into his arms. His breath enveloped her, and the bitter and cold sounds of wind and rain seemed to be isolated outside. He wanted to stick to her from time to time. It was more like he wanted to act coquettishly than giving her the opportunity to get close to him.

Bai Yao looked through the window and noticed the small dots of light flickering in the night, "Leo, there's someone outside."

In the wind and rain, several people were walking with difficulty. They carefully protected a middle-aged man in the crowd and were crossing the courtyard.

Leo bent his waist slightly, half of his weight was on Bai Yao, and he looked at the people outside with cold eyes. He slowly hugged Bai Yao tightly with both hands, and said with a smile: "The old man is finally back."

Bai Yao raised her head and looked at him, "Aren't you going to answer it?"

Leo lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, then chuckled softly, "I need to go pick it up."

Mr. William should have returned to the castle earlier, but something went wrong on the way back. His ID card and some documents were stolen by a petty thief from nowhere, and it took him some time to get a new one.

After getting off the plane and on the way back, we encountered heavy rain and strong winds just when we reached halfway up the mountain. The rain was so heavy that it affected the vision and the driver could not drive anymore. The subordinates advised Mr. William to wait a little longer and go up the mountain when the rain subsided.

But Mr. William, who missed home so much, could not wait. Regardless of his own health problems, he made a firm decision to walk up the mountain even if he had to.

Sir William did it, but when he returned to the castle, he was no different from a drowned rat.

In Bai Yao's childhood memory, Mr. William was a gentle and handsome young man. But more than ten years later, Mr. William has aged a lot. His golden hair has lost its luster and his fair skin is covered with wrinkles, but his eyes are still very energetic.

Seeing Bai Yao was there, he smiled and said, "If I knew you would come, I would definitely come back early."

Over the years, the relationship between Mr. William and Leo has become increasingly tense. Leo is too rebellious and refuses to be disciplined. Of course, Mr. William is heartbroken and extremely disappointed with his son. He has been away for such a long time and has not even bothered to look at Leo when he comes back.

Leo naturally didn't care. He was not very filial. Seeing his elderly father soaked all over, he didn't bother to show any concern. He sat lazily on the sofa, leaning against the back of the chair, as if he would fall asleep at any time.

Bai Yao asked: "Uncle William, are you okay?"

William took the towel handed over by the housekeeper, wiped the water drops on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I should have guests arriving in the next few days."

Bai Yao nodded, "A man named Xuanyuan Bei came, but he had an accident today. He was injured and sent to the medical room."

William's face changed slightly, "He was injured? What happened?"

"We don't know either. There was a girl with him when he was injured. Maybe we can find out if we ask her."

The housekeeper said: "Sir, you are tired from the journey, you should go and rest first."

William waved his hand and said, “I have to go see Xuanyuan Bei first.”

Leo also felt that sitting here for a while had shown his limited patience. He stood up, holding Bai Yao's hand and walked back, "Yaoyao, let's go to bed."

William looked at the backs of Leo and Bai Yao leaving and asked the housekeeper: "Is this how they live together when I'm not around?"

The housekeeper replied: "Yes, the young master and Miss Bai have a very good relationship. Young people are in the passionate period of love, so of course they don't want to be separated."

Mr. William frowned slightly and said nothing.

The housekeeper looked at Mr. William's face and couldn't guess what Mr. William was thinking for a moment. Logically, Mr. William has always liked Miss Bai, and he should be happy to see that she has a good relationship with his son. However, Mr. William did not look happy. Did he think that the relationships between young people nowadays are too frivolous?

The castle is so big that it has always been equipped with a private doctor. The doctor was surprised to see that Xuanyuan Bei was so seriously injured. He took some effort to stop Xuanyuan Bei's bleeding, and then gave him some emergency treatment and gave him painkillers. Only then did Xuanyuan Bei fall asleep.

But Xuanyuan Bei's hand was definitely disabled.

Upon hearing the sad news, An Beibei's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Her cry was soft and really pitiful, but Xuanyuan Bei was still lying down, and no one would hold her in his arms and affectionately call her a little crybaby.
