Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: For Him, It’s More Than Just Thousand Paper Cranes

”Hurry up and fish them out!”

”Be careful! Don’t let the thousand paper cranes get wet! And absolutely do not damage them! Whoever tears one, pack your bags and get out of here!”

”Don’t crease them either! In short, make sure they come up in their original state! Not a single one is allowed to be missing!”

The man’s gritty, commanding voice echoed in the night.

Each instruction was more domineering than the last.

The people fishing for items in the water were trembling with apprehension, terrified a small mistake might cost them their jobs.

At the same time, they were increasingly puzzled. Why was Master Jue so fixated on these seemingly unimpressive thousand paper cranes? They’d been fishing them out for ages but couldn’t find anything particularly extraordinary about them.

Why would Master Jue go to such lengths for these roughly crafted thousand paper cranes—braving the rain at night, disregarding his injuries, and not only ordering them to collect the cranes but even personally joining in the effort? His level of devotion was as if these paper cranes held national secrets.

Li Beijue was already standing in the water, and the servants diving in after him went all out, focused and unyielding. As they got drenched by the rain and broke into a sweat, they cautiously fished the thousand paper cranes out of the water one by one...

Their demeanor was seriously like they were recovering invaluable artifacts!

No one dared relax even slightly!

After all, no one wanted their future to drown in the water along with these small thousand paper cranes due to a careless mistake!

So many people simultaneously worked to fish out paper cranes, and in the blink of an eye, all the cranes Chi Enen had placed in the stream were retrieved.

”Master Jue...”

Li Beijue was drenched head to toe, his customized blouse and trousers soaked for so long they were likely ruined. His short hair dripped with water droplets; the rain accentuated the sharp and defined contours of his face, making him look even more fierce and handsome, like a divine Apollo stepping out of the medieval era! Proud, striking, domineering, and untouchable! He held a pile of soaked thousand paper cranes in his arms and, completely ignoring his own bedraggled state, issued instructions with utter focus, ”Collect them all. Dry them immediately! Remember, don’t look inside, don’t unfold, and don’t damage them! Once they’re dried, organize them and bring them directly to me!”

”Understood.” A servant nervously extended their arms and carefully took the soaked paper cranes from his grasp. Their every muscle was tightly drawn, nervous as if they might damage the precious items at any moment.

Chi Enen watched them like this and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. ”Li Beijue, you don’t have to go this far. They’re just paper cranes. You...”

They’re just a few paper cranes, nothing more.

If he liked them, she could fold more for him.

The man, walking towards her with his impossibly long legs on full display, interrupted her forcefully. The servant behind him followed close by, holding an umbrella for him. With commanding falcon-like eyes, he cut her off, ”To me, they’re not just paper cranes! I’m going to keep every single one of them and look at one every day from now on!”

Chi Enen, ”...” Now she regretted writing what she did inside the paper cranes.

But then...

Chi Enen didn’t dwell too much on the issue.

After all, she’d already written everything. Since he saw them, it was what it was. Anyway, she’d already told him before—she liked him.

Now the most pressing matter was that he was completely soaked!

Especially the shirt on his back, dripping wet as water trickled down.

Looking at him with water dripping off his clothes, Chi Enen lost all strength to argue and immediately grabbed his arm. ”Li Beijue, hurry, come back to the room with me!”

After saying this, she turned and instructed the servant holding the umbrella for him, ”Call a doctor right away.”
