Chapter 266

No… even if he apologized, he wouldn't forgive him.

How dare he harbor designs on his sister.

In the evening—

Not seeing his sister, Li Xiao felt somewhat worried.

He didn't know if Xu Hao had deliberately made his sister move out just to make it easier to strike.

When he mentioned his concerns to his parents, Father Li and Mother Li remained very calm.

They had met their daughter's best friend.

She was slightly prettier than their daughter, and the two got along well, so they felt very reassured.

Li Xiao still felt uneasy.

He decided to go check out the place the best friend was renting.

When he saw Xia Qingge, Li Xiao's eyes nearly popped out—she was stunning.

His parents really weren't wrong.

This best friend was indeed a bit prettier than his sister.

Though the difference wasn't huge.

He asked about his sister.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Qingge heard that he was Li Yunshu's younger brother, her face changed.

Her attitude turned cold, and she bluntly told him to get out…

Li Xiao was dumbfounded.

Aren't you My sister's best friend?

Why are you treating me like an enemy?

This is the first time we've met.

Little did he know, Xia Qingge not cursing him out on the spot was already showing restraint.

Daring to threaten Uncle Xu meant he was already seeking his own death; of course she wouldn't kindly help him.

Baffled, Li Xiao wanted to ask for a clear explanation.

With a loud slam, the door was shut.

Refusing to give up, Li Xiao knocked on the door.

The next moment, a surge of Killing Intent enveloped him.

Li Xiao shuddered.

She was at Ming Jin, just like him.

Looking back—

A woman with an aloof demeanor and an icy face stood behind him.

She was staring at him coldly.

As if if he continued to harass the best friend inside, she would attack him immediately.

Since both were at the same Realm, Li Xiao wasn't afraid of her.

However, there was no need for a conflict.

Dejected, he left…

Walking alone on the street, Li Xiao was pondering a question.

What was the background of his sister's best friend?

She actually had a bodyguard protecting her.

Looking at how she had to rent an apartment, she shouldn't be a Young Miss from a wealthy family.

That bodyguard's aura felt somewhat familiar, though.

Li Xiao's gaze focused.

He remembered.

Her aura was very similar to the bodyguard he had seen beside Su Wanqiu.

Who was Su Wanqiu?

Xu Hao's lawful wife.

Having such a level of security was very reasonable.

But what about that best friend…

Li Xiao's train of thought paused.

A thought surfaced uncontrollably.

—Xu Hao's woman?

Xu Hao had immense power.

He could arrange a Ming Jin Late Stage bodyguard for his wife.

So he certainly wouldn't mind assigning a Middle Stage bodyguard to one of his other women.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the truth.

Otherwise, how could he explain why both bodyguards had the exact same aura?

Thinking of that best friend who was even prettier than his sister.

She wasn't much older than his sister.

At such a prime, flower-like age, she had actually been ruined by an old man like Xu Hao.

Then thinking about himself… what a bitter feeling.

He had seen Xu Hao checking into a hotel with that beautiful landlady, and he was even plotting against his sister.

He wasn't surprised at all that Xu Hao made moves on young girls.

Wait…

Li Xiao thought of an even more serious problem.

If that best friend was Xu Hao's woman…

Then wouldn't his sister be in danger living together with her?

As for the thought that because his sister lived with that best friend, and she was Xu Hao's woman, Xu Hao wouldn't act recklessly…

He would never be so naive again.

Xu Hao could even make his wife and her best friend serve him together.

Was there anything he couldn't do?

Maybe when the time came, his sister and that best friend would end up with Xu Hao together.

Thinking of that possibility drove him crazy with rage.

Xu Hao really was doing it on purpose.

Intentionally making his sister move out, he was plotting after a double Phoenix.

His sister was in danger…

Li Xiao's complexion flickered uncertainly.

He had to convince his sister to move back home quickly before Xu Hao made his move.

The further away from that best friend, the better.

However, in the vast Shanghai, where was he supposed to look for his sister?

Earlier at Xia Qingge's doorstep, he had secretly peeked inside, and there was no one else.

His sister must have gone out.

He didn't know where she went.

The anxiety in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Li Xiao's mood was terribly foul.

He considered whether he should go back and pick a fight with Xia Qingge's bodyguard.

To force Xia Qingge to tell him his sister's whereabouts.

"Hmm?"

Li Xiao's gaze sharpened.

His steps came to a halt.

He looked toward the familiar shadow of a car up ahead.
