“You don’t have to follow me on this matter. This is a grudge between me and that wretched bespectacled man. I don’t wish to implicate anyone else.”
Yun Xi chased Jing Yu away.
Jing Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
“How can I just stand by and watch this matter? I will stand by your side and protect your safety. Don’t worry, I will not drag you down on this matter. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in the credibility of what I do?”
Of course, Jing Yu was unwilling to let her take the risk alone. He would never agree to such a thing.
“I don’t want anyone to be involved. You should know why,” Yun Xi refused coldly.
Although Yun Xi was a little touched when she knew that Jing Yu did not want to give up on her, she still put on a cold face in order to let Jing Yu leave this place as he wished.
“This is my younger brother’s matter. Moreover, this matter is very dangerous. I don’t want outsiders to get involved,” Yun Xi rejected him once again.
The word ‘outsider’ had hurt Jing Yu badly. He had initially thought that they were just unable to become lovers, but they were still very good friends. They were even friends who had risen to a level similar to family members. However, the word ‘outsider’ instantly brought him back to his original state.
It turned out that in her heart, he was just an outsider.
“I will not agree to this matter.”
Jing Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Yun Xi. No matter what kind of position he held in her heart, he was very grateful to Yun Xi for saving his mother and giving him such a high-class life, so he would always stand firmly behind her.
Yun Xi looked at him in silence.
“Alright then, you stay outside and guard me. If there’s really any danger, you can rush over to save me. This is a small firework that I made myself. If I set off this, you can rush in to save me. If this firework isn’t set off, it means that the people inside have more powerful backgrounds and are far stronger than us. In that case, hurry up and find my family members to help.”
Yun Xi thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. He did not have to let him join in the fight, but at the same time, she had to ensure her own safety to the greatest extent. She also did not have to put Jing Yu’s life in danger.

Jing Yu nodded. “Alright, then I’ll stay here and watch over you. You must take care of your own safety as well.”
“Okay!” Yun Xi walked toward the base.
The base was built in the suburbs and was not far from where they were now.
The base looked like an abandoned factory. It was surrounded by weeds and there was not a single bit of life in the surroundings. It was eerie and terrifying.
However, Yun Xi was not afraid of these things. Right now, her mind was focused on finding that wretched man to avenge her younger brother.
She walked quietly to the entrance of an old factory. The door of this factory was tightly shut, and there was a row of rusty iron nails on the lock. It looked extremely sinister and terrifying.
Yun Xi stretched out her hand and pressed on the iron door a few times. A piercing sound rang out.
When the thugs behind her heard this sound, they quickly covered their ears as if they were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.
It was strange. The leader of the thugs said that there seemed to be some people guarding this base. It was as if there were some secrets hidden inside. However, she did not see anyone along the way. She only felt that this place was getting more and more strange. She kept feeling that this was a trap.
“You guys stay here and guard. I’ll go in and take a look.” Yun Xi instructed her men.
The mottled iron door slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage that only allowed one person to pass through. The surrounding light was particularly dim, and one couldn’t see the end of the narrow passage at a glance.
“Boss Yun, you should come again if you’re confident about this matter. After all, this place is too dangerous. What should we do if something happens? Or you can let a few of us go in with you!”
One of the thugs said hesitantly.
He did not dare to disobey Yun Xi’s orders, so he could only force himself to persuade her.
Yun Xi looked at the thugs who spoke and smiled.
“That’s fine. The two of you can follow behind me and go in with me. The rest of you can wait here. When I give the signal, you can rush in with Boss Jing.”
Yun Xi agreed with the thug’s suggestion.
