Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Xi Zelie, You’d Better Not Get Involved

Xi Zelie took the water cup, sipped some water, and moistened his throat.

The tangy sweetness in his throat was suppressed.

His rosy thin lips turned slightly pale, making him look not particularly well.

Right at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

He didn’t have to pick it up himself; a subordinate had already handed it to him. Xi Zelie indifferently accepted the mobile phone, glanced at the incoming calls display, furrowed his eyebrows, paused for a moment, and still answered it, ”Hello.”

The person on the other end of the mobile phone was silent for more than ten seconds before suddenly speaking, ”I originally didn’t want to call you. After going back last time, I swore I wouldn’t contact you again.”

This voice was—Kim Zhiyuan!

Kim Zhiyuan took a deep breath, as if she knew the man on the other end of the mobile phone would remain silent. With a calm expression on her pretty face, she said, ”Last time you asked me to investigate something, I have already found out the background of those people.”

”I will send you the materials in a while; you can look at them yourself.”

Last time, this man uncharacteristically asked her out. She was overjoyed, only to fall from heaven into hell after dressing up meticulously for the date.

Xi Zelie was asking her for help, and the person he wanted to help was Chi Enen. She used this to threaten him to accompany her on a date for a day. On the seaside beach, she took the initiative to ask for a kiss but was pushed away. At that time, she swore never to lower herself again, never to care about this man’s affairs.

But she still, against all logic, had someone investigate the matter he asked her to help with, and the findings shocked her.

”Xi Zelie, I know you won’t like me anymore. As an ordinary friend, I still want to remind you not to get involved.”

”Hmm?”

”Just remember not to get involved, that’s all. Your feelings for her are useless, just like my feelings for you are equally useless. She already has someone she likes, and Young Master Li will protect her. You don’t need to get into trouble.” After speaking, she added in a way that betrayed true intent, ”I’m not concerned about you; I’m just, as a friend, not wanting to see you get hurt.”

”That’s it, I’m hanging up.” Kim Zhiyuan hung up the phone directly and avoided responding before the person on the other end could react.

Xi Zelie only heard a static sound from the mobile phone, realizing she had already hung up.

The fax machine started to buzz right at this moment.

The subordinate who had poured the water quickly said, ”Young Master Lie, something has been sent over.”

”Give it to me!”

”Yes.”

The subordinate hurriedly brought over the materials sent by the fax machine.

Xi Zelie looked down, scanning through the materials Kim Zhiyuan had sent. The more he read, the tighter his eyebrows knit; the more he read, the colder his expression became. When he got to the last page, his gaze sharpened to needle-tip size, and he carefully scrutinized the content on the paper.

Then, he handed the last page to the person standing beside him who didn’t dare to breathe, his rosy thin lips cold and sharp, ”Verify the content on this paper immediately!”

”Understood, Young Master Lie.” The subordinate received it with both hands.

Just about to investigate.

He was called back again, ”Also, investigate the source of the online gossip about Scarlett and Li Beijue. Let me know once you find out!”

What’s Young Master Lie doing investigating gossip? Could Young Master Lie be interested in such entertainment gossip too? How come this wasn’t noticed before?

Though puzzled inside, the subordinate dared not slow his actions, ”Yes, Young Master Lie, I will investigate right away!”
