44 Left Behind (2/2)

Just as they were talking, Li Rong took a step forward and punched one of his grandfather's henchmen. This was clearly an indication of what he wanted to do. Suddenly there was chaos all around Su Li. She watched as Li Rong and Zixi started fighting the people around them but both of them refrained from getting near and harming the Li patriarch.

The Li patriarch could also see that his ploy had been foiled by his own grandson and was furious about it. Still he ordered his people to take care of the matter and left in his car. During the ensuing fight, Li Rong pulled Yueyue out of the warehouse but they had been somehow seperated from Zixi.Su Li watched in growing horror as the doors of the warehouse closed once again while Zixi had been surrounded and overpowered by others.

”Zixi, Zixi” She shouted at the top of her voice, she tried to push Li Rong aside to go back inside but to no avail.

Suddenly she fainted.

Li Rong brought the unconscious Yueyue to a van parked nearby. Luckily the keys of the van were still in the ignition. He laid Yueyue in the back seat of the van gently and removed the ropes tied to her hands and feet. Afterwards she sped off toward the capital city.He knew that he had to talk to princess and somehow coax her so that this matter wasn't reported back in its enterity to her father and escalated even further. He didn't know what drove the Li patriarch to take such a drastic and unwise step but he didn't want the fallout of one person's unthinkable actions to befall everybody else in the family. Even if he wasn't the original Li Rong, he had still obtained the love and care of this family so he would try his best to minimise the resulting outcome.

He was also worried about Zixi - the person he had left behind. With princess's nature if something dreadful befell that guy, she would never forgive herself and live a guilt - ridden life.
