Chapter 571: Chapter 571 Sudden Incident

"I just love how much you hate me but can’t come over through the phone line to hit me; that helpless look of yours." Chen Wei was never soft on Liu Meng with his words.

Because among the six senior sisters, Liu Meng was the closest in age to Chen Wei. They grew up together, and to say they grew up in the same pair of pants wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Chen Wei still clearly remembered, he once wore Liu Meng’s skirt.

In retaliation, Liu Meng secretly wore Chen Wei’s underwear...

Such ridiculous incidents were not uncommon.

It was also the dark past that Chen Wei was least willing to recall.

Luckily, cameras weren’t commonplace back then, so there was no record left.

Otherwise...

"Okay, I won’t argue with you. Let’s get back to discussing the movie ’Dominating the World’." Liu Meng took several deep breaths, adjusting her attitude to make it firm.

She comforted herself by thinking Chen Wei was just going through a rebellious phase.

I’m his senior sister, after all. Isn’t it normal for a senior sister to indulge her rebellious junior brother?

Rebelling with him wouldn’t fit the image of a senior sister.

Thinking this way, Liu Meng felt much better inside, the gloominess cleared away.

"Alright, you talk, I’m listening." Chen Wei also knew when to stop and didn’t continue to tease Liu Meng.

"At home and abroad, I’ve tallied it up, and there are at least sixty award ceremonies inviting you to attend, plus various academic discussions." Liu Meng got a headache just bringing it up.

She had been dealing with these matters all day; her phone was almost ringing off the hook.

Just when she finally had some downtime and called Chen Wei, she heard that he was out enjoying a romantic time with Su Yumei, living in their own world.

This made Liu Meng feel quite unbalanced.

"Just decline them all on my behalf," Chen Wei answered without a second thought.

"Are you sure? There are many prestigious awards. If you attend, the whole world will definitely know there’s someone like you." Liu Meng still tried to persuade Chen Wei.

"If I really wanted those things, why would I hide the director’s name?" Chen Wei countered.

"..." After hesitating for a few seconds on the other end of the line, Liu Meng spoke again, "Are you sure you don’t want to go? If you’ve made up your mind, I will really decline them for you."

"Mhm," Chen Wei answered, still without hesitation.

"Okay then." Liu Meng’s tone couldn’t hide her disappointment.

"Senior sister, I know you want everyone to recognize and know me, but with my identity, it’s really not suitable for me to be in the spotlight."

"If my enemies saw me on TV, what do you think they would do?"

"I’ll be fine, but the key is you all. I can’t always be there to protect you," Chen Wei explained.

"Yeah, I understand. It’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest anymore. Tomorrow when they contact me, I’ll decline everything for you." This time, Liu Meng’s attitude was much more determined.

Clearly, she agreed with what Chen Wei said.

Indeed, their junior brother had too many enemies in this world; too many people wanted him dead.

Liu Meng wasn’t afraid of dying, but she was afraid of becoming a liability or a weak spot for Chen Wei.

She might be captured by those shameless scoundrels, those reprobates, and used as a bargaining chip, bait.

It was obvious that if such a thing were to happen, even through a storm of bullets, Chen Wei would definitely come to save her.

"Mhm, goodnight."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Wei didn’t go upstairs. On one hand, he wasn’t sleepy, and on the other hand, there was one more thing he needed to deal with.

Or rather, a trouble, a potential danger.

If he didn’t handle that little girl Elisa, he and his senior sister certainly wouldn’t be able to have a moment of peace in the coming days.

He must figure out a way to send that girl off the island and back to Hill.

He slipped out the door with light steps, making not a sound.

Not to mention Su Yumei on the second floor, even a cat would have been unable to detect his movement.

Meanwhile.

In the hotel room.

"Uncle Massey, with such a huge planet, can’t you find someone else capable of dealing with him?" Elisa asked the white-haired old man.

"Princess, his power is simply too great, beyond our predictions, and continuing to provoke him carries a high risk. I do not recommend that you do so," Massey earnestly advised Elisa to stop.

"But I just can’t swallow this indignity. Thinking of how he has sabotaged me repeatedly, it’s like a lump in my throat," Elisa couldn’t rest easy until she let this grudge go.

"Uncle Massey, please help me one more time, please? Just once more. If we fail again this time, I will immediately stop and return to Gentleman Country with you, how about that?" Elisa too pleaded earnestly.

"..." Massey hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Princess, are you serious?"

"I am serious! Of course, I am. Don’t you trust me?" Elisa was full of confidence.

"..." Massey had no good retort to that.

"Ah..." With a long sigh, Massey had no choice but to agree: "Alright then, I’ll look around again."

"Thank you, Uncle Massey," Elisa giggled.

This time, having fully grasped Chen Wei’s capabilities, Elisa believed that with Massey’s connections, he was sure to find someone who could stand up to Chen Wei.

She remained hopeful.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Massey was about to say something more when the knocking on the door became disturbingly ill-timed.

"Princess, shush!" Decades of experience as a bodyguard reminded Massey that such a situation was abnormal and required caution.

Elisa nodded her head, not saying a word.

Massey drew a gun from behind him and moved silently toward the door.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Meanwhile, the knocking continued incessantly.

Massey approached the door and peered through the peephole to observe the situation outside.

A maid?

Why would there be a maid at this hour?

"Who is it?" Massey called out.

"Good evening, we are here to clean," the person outside said with a smile.

"It’s too late for that, there’s no need. We are getting ready to rest. You’d better come back tomorrow," Massey grew increasingly suspicious, finding such a flimsy excuse unbelievable.

He had no intention of opening the door.

Just as he was about to turn away.

Bang!

The door was kicked open!

Massey couldn’t dodge in time and was slammed against the wall. His head hit the wall, his consciousness blurred, and then he collapsed to the floor.

"Uncle Massey!" Elisa was scared out of her wits at the sight.

Having lost her usual arrogance and assertiveness, she demanded, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

Looking around and finding no suitable weapon to wield, she could only pick up a pillow and clung to it desperately, using it as a shield?

"Princess Elisa, if you don’t want to get hurt, please come with us willingly," one of them said.

"If you refuse, well..." The blond man stepped on Massey, cocked his gun, aimed it at his head, and sneered, "Bang!"
