Strongest Wastrel

Hearing my words, Shao Wentian calmed down, and didn't object to Wang Chao slapping himself in the face. After all, Wang Chao is too stubborn, always targeting the hidden Young Lord, and indeed needs to be cured.    

    

As for how I caused Chu Wenyang to turn on Metal River, Shao Wentian didn't ask, and neither did I.    

    

After hanging up, Wang Chao, that bastard, coincidentally called again.    

    

I raised my eyebrows and pressed the call button. "Hello, what are you doing this time?"    

    

"Hmph, I've already informed Sect Master Shao about this. Aren't you done for this time?" Sending false information, will you clear your position? " Wang Chao was elated and his tone was full of smugness.    

    

I replied indifferently, "Oh, so it turns out that I'm going to be done for. I'm really scared."    

    

"Lee Shaobai, what do you mean?" Aren't you afraid? " Wang Chao noticed the abnormality and asked.    

    

"I won't tell you." I immediately cut off the call, leaving a trace of suspense. I was too lazy to pay any more attention to Wang Chao.    

    

I pulled back the covers and stretched out on the sofa.    

    

In these seven days, I had been tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost. Today, I finally managed to get a peaceful sleep. It was rare for me to feel at ease.    

    

After finding a razor, I walked out of the office and headed straight to the bathroom. In the middle of the night, there was basically no one in the building other than the defense personnel.    

    

In the bathroom, I washed my face, then looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a different person, haggard, with dark circles under my eyes.    

    

After hanging up the stubble on my face, I was just about to leave when a shadow suddenly flashed outside the door.    

    

"Who?" I hurried out the door. The corridor was empty.    

    

I subconsciously thought about the identity of this black shadow, it must be Lee Qi. It was still monitoring me in the middle of the night, other than him, there was no one else!    

    

Thus, I played dumb and said while standing in the corridor, "Un, I might have fallen asleep, I saw wrongly."    

    

However, in my heart, I was thinking, Lee Qi is actually still in the Metal River Building.    

    

"..."    

    

Early in the morning, Lee Qi came to my office early and gave me an alibi. He yawned and said, "Ai, I slept so well last night. I slept until dawn."    

    

"You didn't have any good dreams?" I squinted my eyes and thought to myself, "What the heck, you have been monitoring me the entire night. Do you really think that I'm stupid?" I just didn't expose it.    

    

Lee Qi sat on the sofa and stretched his body, "I didn't have a good dream, but I have a lot of nightmares. Recently, I've been dreaming that you were killed by someone, and that scared me so much that my heart almost burst.    

    

"Then you don't want me to die?" I asked tentatively.    

    

Lee Qi nodded, "Of course. If you die, then if that senior gets angry, won't he kill me?"    

    

"What are you afraid of? At most, you could just hide back into Li Family? Even if you secretly go back to the Li Family now, I still won't be able to do anything to you. " I asked again, intentionally showing Lee Qi a way out. I thought to myself, Lee Qi, hurry up and leave. I really don't want to see you.    

    

In the end, Lee Qi said to me, "Reply with Li Family? Yes, I can return to the Li Family to hide, but I can hide past the first level, and can't hide past the fifteenth. I can't possibly stay in the Li Family my whole life, right? "    

    

"Fine, keep it if you like it, continue to be my bodyguard." I was already depressed, Lee Qi was determined to stay by my side and couldn't even chase him away.    

    

At this moment, Liang Guan walked in with the four people in charge of the door. They all looked happy and excited.    

    

"Reporting to Lee Guan, the limelight created by Chu Wenyang has started to decline. I think the next few days will pass."    

    

"Yea, that's great. But what's with Chu Wenyang?" Isn't he aiming at our Metal River? "    

    

"That's right, why did the entire situation change that day when he came to the Metal River? Lee Guan, what ingenious plan did you use? "    

    

Due to Lee Qi's presence, it wasn't convenient for me to talk about these things, so I changed the focus and said, "It wasn't any ingenious plan, since you all know that the limelight will disappear, and Chu Wenyang will come to help us. What you guys need to do now is to wait until the limelight completely disappears before quickly expanding in Qian Tang City."    

    

"Yes sir!"    

    

"Subordinate obeys!"    

    

With Liang Guan in the lead, the five people in charge clasped their hands. Their eyes were filled with respect, as if I had long held an unshakeable position in their hearts. My attitude was the complete opposite of when we first met.    

    

At this critical moment, Lee Qi jumped out and shouted loudly: "No, Lee Shaobai, what can you not say? Will you die if you say it? We're all on the same side, is it fun to keep it a secret? "    

    

When Liang Guan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They stood aside and didn't dare to interrupt.    

    

"I won't say it, so I have my reasons. As the commander, I don't want to pressure the people below. Lee Qi, you understand?" I was almost angered to death by Lee Qi, didn't he come to disrupt the morale of the troops? Is there something wrong with this guy?    

    

Lee Qi did not want to hear it and immediately said: "I am also a part of the Metal River, and I am a Patrol Officer. I have the power to know, so tell me quickly! Otherwise, I will report this to Li Family and tell them that you have deceived us. "    

    

"I'm the commander, I have the final say here. If I say you don't have the authority, then you don't have the authority. Even if the Emperor comes, he doesn't have the qualifications." I immediately calmed down and examined Lee Qi. I thought to myself, "Does he want to know everything about me?" Then I won't say it.    

    

"You are abusing your authority!" Lee Qi looked annoyed.    

    

I picked up the teacup on the counter and gently put it by my mouth. "You can go and report this to my Li Family, but you and I have private matters, and you know the consequences."    

    

"You!" Lee Qi was so angry that his face and neck turned red.    

    

"You what you? You want me to repeat myself a second time? " I drank the hot tea, then put the cup back in place. Liang Guan immediately came over to pour me a cup of tea.    

    

Lee Qi was helpless. When he sat back down on the sofa, he crossed his arms and breathed heavily through his nose.    

    

I didn't give Lee Qi too much time to catch his breath. Taking advantage of the presence of Liang Guan and the rest, I intentionally asked: "Lee Qi, do you really want to know if Li Family has a mission to send you to monitor our Metal River?"    

    

"What kind of mission can Li Family have? I just came to have fun. " Lee Qi twitched his mouth.    

    

I seized the loophole in my words and asked again, "Then you said you came here to have fun, why are you here to steal the limelight again? Do you really need to know about the matter between Chu Wenyang and me?"    

    

"I'm just curious. If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Lee Qi rejected and refused to admit it. He started playing dumb with me again.    

    

With a cold smile on my face, I carefully looked at Lee Qi's facial expression and asked, "I see that you aren't curious, are you here to monitor me? The black shadow I saw in the early morning was you, right? "
