Chapter 969: Chapter 969: Discovering Chi Enen Hasn’t Returned Yet

She wasn’t foolish, Chi Ya might harbor malevolence and hold grudges, but she didn’t have the audacity – if she did, she wouldn’t have limited herself to petty acts like Photoshopping pictures and falsely accusing others of theft.

Chi Ya acting so wildly this time surely indicated someone was backing her up.

That person’s influence was not small.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to find out her schedule!

Indeed, hiding now was a much smarter move than blindly looking for a hospital.

She wanted to find a hospital because she feared that Xi Zelie had injured a major artery. Since Xi Zelie said he could stop the bleeding, she believed him!

She trusted even more that that man would quickly realize her situation and find her!

Before that, she must ensure her own safety; that was indeed the best and wisest course of action!

Chi Enen took a deep breath, placed the man’s arm over her shoulder, and supported him as they walked toward the forest…

Luckily, there was a large forest near the Yahai Club, its undulating hills not only offered beautiful scenery, but also provided an advantage for hiding.

Even though Xi Zelie could walk on his own, Chi Enen still felt the weight on her shoulder. She could tell that Xi Zelie was merely forcing himself; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put most of his weight on her.

She herself wasn’t in much better condition. Despite having buckled her seatbelt and trying her best to protect herself within the limited space before Chi Ya’s collision, her body still bore numerous scrapes and bruises, specifically on her knee, which had hit the dashboard and was still noticeably painful with every step.

Yet, she didn’t show it at all, gritting her teeth as if nothing was wrong, she continued to help the injured man into the depths of the forest…

In the study room of the Villa District.

Having finished the Military District Meeting, Li Beijue closed his laptop and left the room.

The living room was empty, not a soul in sight.

He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, glancing down at his watch.

6:30 PM!

Four hours had passed since Chi Enen left, and she hadn’t returned yet? Was she having dinner with Quan Dongting?

Li Beijue strode back into the study room with his long legs. Picking up the mobile phone on his office desk, he found the screen dark, no messages, no missed calls.

Since Chi Enen hadn’t sent a message or called, it meant she wasn’t staying to eat dinner. If she intended to stay, she would certainly have sent a message, considering her personality.

So, where had she gone? Does a casual conversation take 4 hours?

Impatience surged within Li Beijue.

Suddenly, he remembered he hadn’t checked Xi Zelie’s villa yet. Perhaps Chi Enen had returned, and, seeing he was in a meeting, didn’t disturb him and might have gone to see Nuonuo…

As this thought emerged, he quickly made his way to the villa next door.

“Young Master Li,” the butler greeted him respectfully upon entry.

Without mincing words, he directly asked, “Where is Chi Enen, is she here with you?”

The butler was taken aback by the question, then responded, “Miss Chi hasn’t come over.”

Li Beijue’s eyebrows knit tightly together, and as he began to stride further inside, he suddenly seemed to recall something and turned back, fixating his gaze on the butler’s face, “What about Xi Zelie?”

“Young Master Lie had some matters to attend to and is not at home. Does Young Master Li need something from Young Master Lie?”

“He’s gone out? When did he leave?”

The butler thought for a moment, “It seems Young Master Lie left around 2 o’clock.”

Li Beijue’s eyes narrowed suddenly, “2 o’clock in the afternoon? Did he go to Yahai Club?”
