He didn’t believe the madam would obediently let him investigate. The madam was such a smart woman that he didn’t think he had the ability to investigate without her knowing.
He didn’t want to become the unfortunate cannon fodder when the madam got angry.
She won’t refuse,” Lei Tianyi said with great confidence. Her maid would definitely not dare to confront him now, and she probably wouldn’t want to either!
Deliberately slowing her steps, Leng Youlan cautiously observed her surroundings. As she was about to step out of the restaurant door, she sensed people in the restaurant moving towards her.
A satisfied smile played at the corner of her mouth, so faint it was almost imperceptible. But she did smile because the moment she had been waiting for had arrived. If it hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have known how to continue her performance.
“Miss, you cannot take that woman away.”
“Gentlemen, no one can leave this restaurant.”
Two different sentences spoken simultaneously, by different people, targeting different subjects.
Leng Youlan glanced at Lei Jing and Liu Manyun, who were about to catch up, and said coldly, “Arrest these people. Everyone else can leave the restaurant.”
“Yes, madam,” the guards stationed at the door responded and immediately attacked those blocking Leng Youlan.
Liu Manyun saw the conflict at the door and quickened her pace, not understanding what was happening. No matter what, she couldn’t implicate others!
“Huh?” Noticing that the person she was supporting had suddenly left, Lei Jing made a puzzled sound. What was this woman doing?
Since the person she was supposed to take care of no longer needed her, she might as well hurry to the madam’s side.
Liu Manyun walked towards Leng Youlan. Seeing Leng Youlan standing to one side, she asked, “Are you okay?” Her eyes scanning the people fighting nearby.
“Do you hope something happened to me?” Leng Youlan responded calmly, following her gaze.
“Of course not,” Liu Manyun thought. “But why are they fighting?”
“They wouldn’t let us leave,” Leng Youlan said calmly to Lei Jing, who had returned.
“So they’re fighting like dogs?” Liu Manyun thought, arriving at what seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.
This made her feel that the cold woman beside her was perhaps in the same unfortunate situation as herself.
