His Rui

Chapter 641 Rui Comes To Know What Youxio Does

Xi Ying said as soon as he stepped inside the room with Rui.

He knew what she was going to say from the moment she said in the dining room to everyone that ‘they needed to talk’.

This talk was regarding her going to treat whoever was the master of Gu Li. And he obviously had refused swiftly.

”Ying…”

”No, Rui”

Xi Ying said immediately as he stepped backward as if avoiding his wife who was stepping towards him. It was the first time he was avoiding her but he was scared.

He was scared that he would give in to her demand. He was scared that he would get weak and allow her to go to Youxio to treat Gu Li’s master.

”I can’t let you go there.”

He said as he released a defeated sigh from his lips. Although she looked calm, he knew that she must be disappointed that he was trying to control her.

But he couldn’t accept what she wanted to do this time.

”Ying, Senior Brother needs me.”

Xi Ying looked away from his wife. His soft voice as she tried to made him understand penetrated his heart.

”You Senior Brother…”

He stepped forward suddenly and asked her

”Do you know what does he do for living? Do you know what he and his people do?”

At his words, Li Rui indeed looked confused.

Xi Ying didn’t know if he was doing right or wrong at this moment but one thing he was sure of that he couldn’t let his wife go to such a danegous place.

So he wants her to be enlightened about what exactly she wanted to do.   

”They are from Youxio, Rui. Have you ever heard this name before?”

Li Rui frowned as she tried to remember. The first she had heard this word from An Ju was when Gu Li and his shadow guards had attacked her for the first time.

Before that, she had never heard this name so she shook her head honestly. Xi Ying nodded his head as he whispered

”That’s what I had thought.” 

”They kill people.”

He continued. Seeing his wife’s blank face, he stepped forward and held her hands as he told her

”Whoever gives them the money to kill someone that person want to get killed, they would do it for the sake of the money. It doesn’t matter who the person to be killed is. Why do you think they agreed to kill you? Zhao Wang Lei must have given them a huge amount of money for this.”

Li Rui opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t find a single word while Xi Ying continued

”Rui, you understand right? Why I can’t let you go there? That is a dangerous place. We still don’t know if they are really on our side. Maybe this is their plan to take you away and then …”

Xi Ying didn’t and couldn’t finish his words but he knew that he didn’t need to. Li Rui understood.

”But they would never harm me.”

Li Rui said confidently and Xi Ying sighed as he pulled his hand away from her.

He didn’t know how he should make her understand his fear. Did she even know what he was feeling right now? 

Did she even think about him before she said to her ‘Senior Brother’ that she would go and treat his master?

”Ying, I will talk to him. I am sure that all this …killing people…he must be having some reason behind it.”

Li Rui said confidently.

She couldn’t believe that her senior brother and all his shadow guards could do such a thing.

Gu Li had saved her life when she was in danger. His shadow guards …they had welcomed her happily and had been so kind to her.

Xi Ying shook his head helplessly. He suppressed the questions and pain he was feeling inside his heart and said coldly 

”Good then let’s go and talk to him first.”

He said and walked towards the door.

Li Rui sighed as she looked at his back. She felt a little upset seeing how he was behaving …perhaps because he had never behaved like this with her. 

But she knew that he was just worried for her.

However, he also didn’t know what place those people had inside her heart. She would always stay grateful for whatever Gu Li and the old master had taught her.

So how could she stay indifferent when he needed her now! She was not sure if she would be able to treat him but she would try her best.

Li Rui stepped inside the dining room with Xi Ying.

She saw Gu Li instantly looking toward her. Li Rui looked at Xi Ying and then at Gu Li as she said

”Senior Brother…Ying just told me that you kill people? Innocent people? Is it true?”

Gu Li stiffened at Li Rui’s direct question. Not only he but the shadow guards who were standing behind him also had grim faces and they lowered their heads in shame.

Li Rui’s heart sank inside her chest when she saw their lowered heads.

She looked at Xi Ying who looked at her calmly though he was very tempted to comfort her right now seeing how shocked she looked.

But he resisted. At this moment, he just wanted to ensure that she would not go to Youxio. He didn’t care about anyone else. The only person he cared about was his wife …his family. 

”Senior Brother…”

Li Rui who was still not ready to believe what she was seeing stepped forward and looked Gu Li in the eyes as she said

”You really kill people who have not done anything wrong? Then why did you save me?”

She asked incredulously. She had never thought that he could do such a thing.

Gu Li’s eyes flickered with hurt when he heard Li Rui’s question. He had never felt anything when those people started to talk badly about his organization.

Because he knew what he was doing all this for so he never felt guilty.

But now when Li Rui looked at him with those shock-filled eyes and asked him this question, he felt very hurt and guilty inside his heart.

His throat wobbled as he answered in a quite indifferent voice suppressing the pain he was feeling again after so many years

”We didn’t have any other way.”
