    "Brother-in-law, I feel sick to my stomach, come back quickly."

    When he received this call, He Shijie was in a meeting with Qian Yi, Hu Tianle and the others.  He Shijie's expression changed immediately when he heard Li Dong calling his brother-in-law on the phone.  Li Dong would not call him so politely under normal circumstances, only called him that twice, and there were troubles both times.

    So He Shijie stood up abruptly, and said to Qian Yi and Hu Tianle: "I have something to do at home, I want to go back immediately."

    He greeted his assistants and subordinates, deliberately brought a few more people, and rushed to the villa.

    In the villa, after Li Dong hung up the phone, he said to the man surnamed Li: "You heard that too, I made a call, and He Shijie will be right back."

    The man nodded, pulled a chair and sat down opposite them, still holding the fruit knife tightly in his hand.  He switched from sudden hysteria to sudden silence, hung his head and stopped talking.

    This eerie quietness made Xu Zhongxia even more uneasy and panicked. She had never encountered such a thing when she grew up. Fortunately, Li Dong was by her side.  Although this big boy is younger than her, he can give her a feeling and strength that she can rely on.

    They sat like this, quietly waiting for He Shijie's arrival.  The time seems to go very slowly every second.  Xu Zhongxia felt that the time passed slowly, and the former partner surnamed Li was also restless because of the slow time, standing up for a while, sitting down for a while, and walking back and forth in front of them.

    Li Dong looked at the man like a trapped beast and said: "Mr. Li, I suggest you put away the fruit knife in your hand. You are also a person with status. Don't make it so ugly. It's against the law. You put  Put down the knife, when He Shijie comes back, we can sit down and have a good talk, everything can be discussed."

    Xu Zhongxia looked sideways at Li Dong, feeling admiration in his heart.  He is only 21 years old, he can be so calm in the face of emergencies, and he can say such a well-organized words, compared with him, I really can only feel ashamed.

    The man surnamed Li seemed to think that what Li Dong said made sense, and remembering that he was also a decent person, the madness in his eyes dissipated, and a trace of clarity returned.  He walked slowly to the dining table, hesitantly preparing to put the fruit knife in his hand back into the fruit plate.

    At this moment the doorbell rang, and the man's hand holding the knife stopped in mid-air. Li Dong and Xu Zhongxia straightened their backs and looked at the door in unison.

    It is impossible for He Shijie to arrive so soon. It is not He Shijie who is outside the door, so who will come to the door at this time?

    The man surnamed Li changed his mind, instead of putting down the knife in his hand, he clenched it tightly again, and the hostility in his eyes began to gather again.  He tapped Xu Zhongxia with a knife and said, "Go and ask who it is." Then he tapped Li Dong, "Don't move!"

    Li Dong said: "I will go with her."

    The man surnamed Li immediately turned grim, and raised the knife in his hand, Xu Zhongxia quickly pushed Li Dong and said, "Forget it, let me go." Then he lowered his voice and quickly said to him, "  Don't provoke him, I can handle it."

    The doorbell rang at the wrong time. If it had been a few seconds late, the man surnamed Li would have put down the knife, and the situation in the room would have been different.

    Li Dong stood still as he said, the man surnamed Li was holding a knife across the passage in the middle, Xu Zhongxia walked to the entrance near the door.

    She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was beating wildly.  She told herself that she couldn't be as good as a big boy who was three years younger than her, so she must not panic, she had to control the situation and find a way to break it.

    The doorbell had rang several times, and Xu Zhongxia asked loudly, "Who is it?"

    "I'm a security guard. I just heard a loud commotion in your home. Come here and ask if there's anything wrong. Do you want to help?"

    The man surnamed Li pulled Li Dong over, put a knife against Li Dong's neck, and glared at Xu Zhongxia viciously.  Xu Zhongxia's legs were weak, and he said loudly: "It's okay, I played games a little bit, it's okay."

    "Don't you need help?"

    "No, thank you!"

    After a few words, Xu Zhongxia really calmed down and his voice stabilized.  The security outside the door didn't seem to leave immediately, and the three people in the room were all listening.

    Seeing that the security guard still didn't leave, the man surnamed Li became anxious, his hands were red-eyed, and Li Dong's neckline was pulled tightly by him to strangle his neck.  Xu Zhongxia quickly stepped forward and lowered his voice to the man and said, "Let him go!"

    There were footsteps walking away outside the door, and the man loosened his hands.  In an instant, Xu Zhongxia's eyes suddenly blurred, before he could see what was going on, Li Dong had already knocked the man surnamed Li to the ground, and the knife in the man's hand fell to the ground.

    Xu Zhongxia quickly picked up the fruit knife, rushed to the door, opened the door and shouted loudly: "Security! Security! Come and help.??¡± (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
