"No need." Xiao Yifei said faintly. Hearing Xiao Yifei say that, Liu Rui looked at Xiao Yifei in disbelief. Liu Rui knew very well that if anyone ever harmed someone close to Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei would go to the ends of the earth to find them and make them pay.
So, when Xiao Yifei said there was no need, Liu Rui stared at him in surprise. Seeing Liu Rui's expression, Xiao Yifei explained, "When I say no need, it's not that we shouldn't seek revenge, but rather there's no need to find the person."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rui shook his head in confusion, indicating he didn't understand. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei continued, "I said there's no need to find them because I already know who it is."
"What? You know?" When Liu Rui heard Xiao Yifei say he knew who it was, he exclaimed in surprise and asked why Xiao Yifei hadn't said so earlier. Xiao Yifei then explained his reason for not speaking, to which Liu Rui nodded anxiously.
"So who is it?" Liu Rui asked curiously. Upon hearing, Xiao Yifei gave a bitter laugh and said four words plainly: "Hua Cixianxi."
Hearing this name, Liu Rui was too stunned to speak, "Is it really him?" After a moment, Liu Rui asked skeptically.
Looking at Xiao Yifei, Liu Rui could see Xiao Yifei slowly nodding, indicating he was not mistaken. The person whom Liu Rui wanted to take revenge on was Hua Cixianxi, who was already engaged to him.
"Why is it him?" Liu Rui wanted to know the reason. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei slowly expressed his guess, though it was more than a guess.
After listening to Xiao Yifei's description, Liu Rui was speechless, but then became suspicious, "No, Cixianxi is just a woman, how can she have such Inner Strength?" Liu Rui voiced his doubts.
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head, as he didn't know how a woman could have such Inner Strength either. However, all clues pointed to Hua Cixianxi being the one who injured Liu Sisi, though there wasn't enough evidence.
"No, I need to find him and get some answers." With that, he was about to walk out. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei quickly stopped him, "It's already late, let's wait until tomorrow." he said, nodding towards the outside.
Liu Rui looked and saw that it was already dark outside, so he immediately gave up on the idea. "Alright, take the medicine over." With that, Xiao Yifei handed the brewed medicine to Liu Rui.
Liu Rui nodded and then walked out. Watching Liu Rui's departing back, Xiao Yifei sighed heavily. Actually, he could have prevented Sisi from getting hurt by Hua Cixianxi today, because when he saw Hua's hand reaching out, he already had an intention to stop it. He simply didn't think much of it when Hua just patted Sisi's shoulder.
But it was this lack of thought that led to Sisi's current state, Xiao Yifei thought, scratching his head in annoyance. At this moment, Xiao Yifei felt uneasy inside, so he splashed a basin of cold water on his face to calm himself.
Originally, he thought Hua Cixianxi was an ordinary woman, but now it seemed he was wrong, or rather, everyone was wrong. This woman named Hua Cixianxi was definitely not ordinary.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The events of these past few days were truly troubling. Xiao Yifei sighed, slowly walking out of the kitchen and into the courtyard.
"How is she doing?" Xiao Yifei walked into the room and asked everyone. Seeing Xiao Yifei enter, Liu Rui looked at Xiao Yifei with a heavy heart, and Hu Jingtang also watched over Sisi on the bed with concern.
Although Sisi had not woken up yet, the pain on her face had eased considerably, unlike earlier where it was unbearable. It seemed the medicine Xiao Yifei gave had some effect, but the Inner Strength in Sisi's body was still ravaging her body, something Xiao Yifei was very aware of.
"What should we do now, Xiao Yifei, you have to find a way to save Sisi." Hu Jingtang's eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if he had been crying.
Hearing Hu Lao say this, Xiao Yifei nodded, "I will find a way as soon as possible, don't worry." With that, Xiao Yifei helped Hu Lao, who was kneeling by the bed, rise, "You should go rest, Sisi has Liu Rui to take care of her."
Upon hearing, Hu Jingtang looked at Liu Rui and had no choice but to nod. After assisting Hu Jingtang back to his room, Xiao Yifei returned to Sisi's room, intending to give some instructions on how to look after her.
However, seeing Liu Rui's guilty expression, Xiao Yifei said little, only comforting him that it wasn't entirely his fault, and then turned to leave. Whether Liu Rui listened or not, Xiao Yifei had said what he needed to say. The rest was up to Liu Rui himself.
Back in his room, Xiao Yifei let out a deep sigh and sat on the bed, reflecting on the recent events as he drifted into a troubled sleep.
Xiao Yifei didn't sleep well that night, so when he woke up the next day, it was almost noon. As soon as he got up, Xiao Yifei went to Sisi's room. Although he knew she wouldn't wake up for a while, he wanted to see if there was any sign of her waking.
As expected, Sisi still lay in bed, but Liu Rui, who was supposed to be watching over her, was nowhere to be found. Thinking of last night's conversation with Liu Rui, Xiao Yifei had a pretty good idea of where Liu Rui had gone. Most likely, Liu Rui had gone to find Cixianxi.
The truth was as Xiao Yifei suspected, Liu Rui had left Hua Mansion early, heading straight for where Cixianxi lived, naturally wanting to confront Cixianxi for an explanation.
With half skepticism towards Xiao Yifei's claim from yesterday, Liu Rui stepped into the house before him. At this moment, Cixianxi was leisurely sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, occasionally taking a small sip, appearing quite at ease.
"Hmph, Liu Sisi? Dared to defy me, I wonder how it feels lying in bed now." With that, Cixianxi swirled her glass of wine and smiled casually.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, a series of urgent knocks came from the door, shattering her good mood. Cixianxi's previously happy face turned somewhat gloomy.
"Who is it?" Cixianxi said, standing up and opening the door. "Liu Rui? Why are you here?" She asked in confusion upon seeing the person at the door. Upon hearing this, Liu Rui didn't speak at first, then finally said, "I want to talk to you."
"Come in." Cixianxi pulled Liu Rui to the sofa, "What do you want to talk about?" After they sat down, Cixianxi asked softly. With that, Cixianxi continued drinking her red wine from the table.
"First, I want to thank you!" Liu Rui's expression was serious, not at all joking, "Thank you for getting me out of prison."
"Heh, I told you, what's mine, no one else can take. I set my sights on you." With that, the previous gloom on Cixianxi's face was replaced with a seductive look at Liu Rui.
"But I didn't just come to thank you for that." Liu Rui remained unmoved by Cixianxi's smile, "What do you want to do?" Cixianxi's face instantly cooled when she heard Liu Rui.
"Was what happened to my sister your doing?" Liu Rui didn't hold back, directly stating his purpose for coming over—to get an explanation. Liu Rui would never let Liu Sisi's incident slide easily.
