The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

"Xiao Hengyu?"

Liz looked at Xiao Hengyu who suddenly appeared and stood up vigilantly.

Xiao Hengyu and his men rushed in from the cave entrance and captured all her men, including the doctor who was performing surgery on Duke.

Liz looked around and saw Xiao Hengyu daring to act wildly in her territory. She asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Hengyu walked over slowly, and the men behind him skillfully disarmed Liz's bodyguards. Their movements were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that they were well prepared.

"I've been following you. I know every move you make, so I naturally know you've escaped here..."

There was a lazy smile in his voice, but the bones of Liz's fingers crackled.

She pretended to be calm: "What are you doing here with me?"

Xiao Hengyu walked forward, his leather shoes rolling over the broken porcelain pieces. "Nothing, just to see if you're used to hiding in a place like this."

Liz sneered: "What does it have to do with you..."

"Are you here to add insult to injury?"

She remembered that she had asked Xiao Hengyu to cooperate with the operation many times before, but he always made excuses. At this moment, he suddenly appeared with people, and his intentions were obvious.

Xiao Hengyu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say that."

"Heh, when I asked you to kill Su Yutang, you didn't listen to me. Now that the operation has failed, you come to me. Aren't you just kicking me when I'm down?" Liz suddenly shouted, grabbed the candlestick at hand and smashed it hard.

Xiao Hengyu dodged sideways, and the candlestick hit the rock wall, splashing sparks that illuminated the faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

That was the smile of a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

"You old woman, not only are you old, but you also have a bad temper!"

Xiao Hengyu put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Liz's face with disgust, like some kind of silent provocation.

Liz's face turned pale and she was shaking with anger, but Xiao Hengyu obviously had no intention of letting her go.

He continued, "Luckily I'm not on your side. You're so useless. You can't even deal with them like this!"

Liz's chest heaved violently with anger: "Xiao Hengyu, what do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm mad at you, an old woman. I've been secretly cheering you on, just to see if you can handle them. Turns out you can't."

Liz's face was grim: "That's because you didn't help me. If you hadn't stood by and watched..."

"If you can't do it, how can I help you?" Xiao Hengyu interrupted her, "So, I might as well wait and see. If you can't do it, then there's no need for us to cooperate, right? You useless old woman."

Just then, a sound suddenly came from the operating table.

Duke endured the severe pain and climbed up from the operating table, pointing at Xiao Hengyu and said, "Xiao Hengyu, don't touch Liz!"

Xiao Hengyu sneered, his eyes sweeping over the wounded Duke: "You yourself are in so much trouble, yet you're still meddling in other people's business?"

Duke gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will protect Liz!"

The disgust in Xiao Hengyu's eyes became even stronger: "You are quite loyal to this old woman."

Liz said sternly: "Xiao Hengyu!"

Every time Xiao Hengyu mentioned the old woman, her face became uglier, and the murderous intent in her eyes almost burst out.

But Xiao Hengyu did it on purpose, deliberately watching the changes on her face to make her self-aware.

She clenched her fists and looked directly at Xiao Hengyu: "Even if I'm temporarily defeated, I'm not someone you can kill at will. If you dare to touch me, the Xiao family will disappear from this world tomorrow."

"I didn't mean to kill you."

Xiao Hengyu shrugged. He wasn't stupid enough to make an enemy of the entire Bron family. "I just want to warn you. Don't overestimate your own abilities and try to touch someone you can't touch..."

He paused deliberately, staring at Liz's suddenly tense face. "Especially, don't try to threaten me and make me obey your orders. My father is afraid of you, but I am not."

After saying that, he turned around gracefully, leaving the room full of a tense atmosphere and Liz's tense figure in the flickering firelight.

......

In the Su family's study, Bo Jingzhou's knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone. Gu Yueze's voice rang through the receiver: "Cousin, I've found Ai Rui and Gu Xuan."

"Where are they?" Bo Jingzhou asked immediately, and Su Yutang beside him also came over nervously.

"They're in the hospital."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Bo Jingzhou ordered someone to prepare the car. Su Yutang quickly followed and the two of them hurried to the hospital.

In the hospital, Ai Rui is being rescued.

Gu Xuan was sitting on a bench, her hair disheveled, her clothes and shoes covered in mud, and she was staring at the ground with empty eyes. Although she looked disheveled, she was not injured.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Su Yutang and Bo Jingzhou, her eyes instantly red.

Su Yutang sat down beside her and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Gu Xuan took a deep breath and recounted the whole story from being taken away by Eric, to meeting Liz in the woods, and then to her hasty escape.

Speaking of Ari, she bit her lip and said, "Later, we ran out. After running for a long, long time, I realized that the wound on his neck was bleeding..."

Su Yutang: "You mean, Liz caught you, but Ari escaped with you?"

Gu Xuan nodded: "Well, I don't know what he did. Liz didn't chase us anymore."

"Then who saved you?" Su Yutang continued to ask.

"It's Xiao Hengyu."

"Xiao Hengyu?"

Su Yutang frowned: "Why is he there?"

Gu Xuan shook her head. "I don't know either. He might have just happened to pass by when Ai Rui was almost dying... Xiao Hengyu didn't want to intervene at first, but I begged him to do it, and he had Ai Rui carried into the car..."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Gu Xuan still felt scared.

If Xiao Hengyu had not happened to pass by, Ai Rui would have died from excessive blood loss.

She could have ignored Ari and escaped on her own. After all, Ari was Liz's son and was from their rival camp.

But when she thought of how Ari tried desperately to escape with her, she softened her heart... and felt that she shouldn't have abandoned Ari and run away.

Su Yutang looked at Bo Jingzhou, and both of them were a little surprised.

Xiao Hengyu has never had good intentions. I don't know what his purpose was in suddenly saving people this time.

Also, how did he happen to be there?

But the most important thing now is that Eric's life or death is uncertain, will Liz let it go?

Bo Jingzhou called people and told them to follow the route Gu Xuan told them to find Liz's hiding place.

After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room finally went out.

The doctor told Ai Rui that he was out of danger, but he had lost too much blood and needed to rest well.

"That's great, he's not dead." Gu Xuan stood up suddenly, but her legs were numb from being tense for a long time, and she almost fell down.

Su Yutang quickly supported her and said, "It's good that he's not dead. When he wakes up, let him go."
