Spilling his secrets

They didn't waste much of his time as he saw a group of guys dressed in suits walking towards the second VIP floor. Even though many of the people in the group were good looking most of the guys from before skipped the thought of even approaching. Some who still had the courage and confidence were let down by the hostile air carried by the guy in middle.

"Tch! Look at the show-off." Bai Ye tried to distract Li Jie's attention with the new guy. But it didn't seem to interest Li Jie much.

Li Jie looked in the direction of the group, it was clear. To him, it was a group of specially trained bodyguards disguised, protecting two or three people. He had seen this many times when he targeted businessmen or politicians in the past.

To his dismay, he wasn't the only one observing people. The guy with the hostile air also looked at him. His expression not changing once. 'When you stare at the abyss and it stares back.'

Li Jie turned his head back with a guilty conscience. 'Why was he the only one discovered staring?'

Bai Ye also noticed the guy staring at Li Jie, at first he thought it was only normal to stare at a handsome face. But after seeing the guy leave the group behind and approach them, he panicked. He tried to alert Li Jie but the error had already occurred.

The guy placed his hand on Li Jie's shoulder forcing his chair to turn around. Li Jie's face looked complicated as his head was buzzing with system alert noises.

[Alert. Host, the guy in front of you is your father's friend's son.]

Li Jie touched his head which was starting to hurt. His face darkened making him unaware of the person that stood right behind him.

"Why are you here?" The voice didn't hold any decency the hatred was clear. Li Jie turned around, facing the villain with his gloomy complexion. He was a side villain there was no need for him to have any relations with the main villain but there were to create drama. The system had explained to him beforehand.

"Why can't I be here?" Li Jie got up from his seat looking as if he going to fight. But the height and weight difference between them only made him look like a fox in front of a bear.

"Does your parents know you are here?" Leng Rui didn't keep his voice down. He looked at Li Jie with a furious expression before moving to question Bai Ye.

"I was just talking to him. Nothing much. Is he your brother?" Bai Ye explained his voice cracking in fear of offending an overprotective bro-con.

"No." Leng Rui answered before dragging Li Jie with his hand. He called his assistant down leaving the youth to sulk behind. He kept his eyes on Li Jie for the whole duration of the call treating him like a toddler. "Assistant Guo, bring the car. I can't attend the entertainment today, we need to make a trip to President Li's villa."

Assistant Guo was surprised, he grasped at the late visit to Li's house. But his professionalism kicked in soon. He brought the car as instructed by his CEO.

"Get in." Leng Rui instructed Li Jie solemnly. But Li Jie wasn't someone who would accept defeat without a fight. He stood outside the car as if he didn't hear anything. Leng Rui saw the attitude of the youth with a calm face. "At first I wasn't going to do this."

The words left his mouth as the small hair stood up on Li Jie's neck. He sensed an impending danger. A hand was placed on his shoulder which effortlessly threw him on the back seat like a kitten getting carried by an adult cat.

"You..." Li Jie tried to make a fuss but the same hand moved to place the seat belt around him leaving him speechless.

"If you don't want me to tell Mrs. Li I found you in the act with another guy, stay put for the rest of the ride." Leng Rui stared at Li Jie with a threat clear in his eyes. Li Jie tried looking nonchalant but he acknowledged the threat by not getting on the nerves of the main villain for the rest of the ride.

While the car was in silence the Li's villa wasn't. It was filled with Mrs. Li's scolding Ryan for letting Li Jie out.

"How can you just let him leave? You could at least inform me." The beauty furrowed her brows, if she could say truthfully she wasn't really mad. It was her fault for underestimating the brat after some well-behaved months. Thinking about the sudden changes in her son she sighed helplessly looking at her husband who looked amused by all of this.

All the staff held the same feeling as her. Until a black extravagant car pulled in front of the villa. Everyone in the villa panicked to get ready to welcome this uninvited visitor.

"I can walk by myself." Li Jie said with anger on his face as he slapped Leng Rui's hand.

"Of course, even a cat will scratch in its own territory." Leng Rui retracted his hand. His eyes seemed to be smiling.

[Host, refrain from angering the Main villain.]

Leng Rui got out of the car and was greeted by the butler Ryan who took them inside. Ryan gave Li Jie a look with anxiety.

As they entered the main hall Li Feng greeted Leng Rui. Even though Li Jie didn't find the normal arrogance in the voice he could see through the fake polite attitude of both the parties.

"Good evening, Mr and Mrs Li. Sorry for the late visit i should have called first. I found Li Jie so i decided to give him a ride back." Despite the fakness Li Jie had to admit Leng Rui had a specific charm when he talked.

"Aren't you done staring?" Li Jie looked at his side where Mrs. Li whispered in a low voice to him. "And where did you meet Mr Leng?"

Li Jie was thinking of making up a lie but before he could do that both the men had resumed their conversation.

"He probably won't answer that Mrs Li." The sudden voice surprised Jian Tang and Li Jie. Leng Rui had listened to their conversation and now even Li Feng looked ready to hear the explanation.

"What do you mean he won't tell the truth? Where did you find him?" Li Feng actually didn't care much as long as Li Jie wasn't involved in anything illegal but it could be a good excuse for him to send Li Jie abroad.

"Well..." Leng Rui looked at Li Jie who couldn't hide his displeasure. This gave Leng Rui a rush of adrenaline but outwardly he looked hesitant to speak.
