Shui Lili begged for mercy, and Zhang Beixing readily restored her to normal. Shui Lili felt like she had walked through the gates of hell, and now she dared not hide anything.

She said: "Although Shui Qingli lives here, she actually lives in the basement. The basement is even more luxurious than here, this is a secret."

Zhang Beixing was shocked when he heard this and said quickly, "Then take me down quickly."

Shui Lili nodded, took Zhang Beixing to an unused room, pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "The mechanism is here."

She took down the painting, and Zhang Beixing took a closer look. He found a fingernail-sized button-shaped bump on the wall. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it. Shui Lili pressed it, and the floor tile immediately cracked.

"You can go down now." Shui Lili said, "You have to hold my hand, or you won't play any tricks."

Zhang Beixing held her hand and felt a softness, but he knew he couldn't indulge in it. The two walked up the long stairs and finally came to the basement.

The basement was just as Shui Lili had said, magnificent and brightly lit. Zhang Beixing asked in a low voice, "Does your young lady have the habit of staying up late?"

Shui Lili shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. At this time, a girl's voice as clear as a lark sounded: "Who came in?"

Zhang Beixing thought, this is probably the real Shui Qingli. But it is also possible that she is just a little girl, after all, there is the precedent of Shui Lili.

The bedroom door opened, and a girl with a ponytail came out. It was Shui Qingli. She was very surprised to see Shui Lili coming in with a strange man.

"Lili, what's going on? Why did you bring a stranger here?" Shui Qingli asked.

Shui Lili lowered her head in pain. She didn't want this to happen, but she really didn't want to get hurt. She told Shui Qingli everything that happened, and Shui Qingli was very surprised.

She turned to Zhang Beixing and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Beixing asked back: "I should be the one asking you this question. Are you the real Shui Qingli or someone else?"

With Shui Lili's previous experience, he had to find out. Shui Qingli was a little overwhelmed. She wanted to say that she was not here to protect herself, but she was afraid that Zhang Beixing would ask where the real Shui Qingli was. Moreover, Zhang Beixing's power was so strong that she felt that she could not lie.

Finally, she nodded and said, "I am the real Shui Qingli. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

Zhang Beixing looked at Shui Lili's eyes again to confirm that what she said was true. He sighed, "I didn't expect there would be another world here."

As he said this, he took the initiative and sat down on the sofa. Shui Lili wanted to take the opportunity to go to the bathroom, but Zhang Beixing sneered: "What do you want to do? Do you want to find a place to report the incident?"

"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom. How can you say that I'm trying to tip off someone?" Shui Lili protested dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Beixing was unmoved. He didn't believe Shui Lili's words at all. So he made a request: "Then put your phone down, and I will believe you."

Shui Lili did have such thoughts, but she didn't expect Zhang Beixing to see through her thoughts so quickly. She was a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to refute.

Zhang Beixing continued, "Or, you can let me go to the bathroom with you and I'll watch you. Is that okay?"

When Shui Lili heard this, her face immediately turned red. She said angrily: "How can you be so shameless? How can you follow a girl to the bathroom?"

Zhang Beixing looked indifferent. He said, "So you'd better behave yourself and stop playing tricks, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Shui Lili sneered and sat down. Although she was dissatisfied, she knew that now was not the time to compete with Zhang Beixing.

Shui Qingli watched this scene from the side, feeling a little overwhelmed. She had never seen such a scene before, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Zhang Beixing crossed his legs and sat leisurely, then motioned Shui Qingli to sit down as well. He said, "This is your home, and I, a guest, don't consider myself an outsider. Why are you so restrained?"

Shui Qingli rolled her eyes at him. Although she was dissatisfied, she had to admit that there was some truth in what Zhang Beixing said. She sat down, but kept a certain distance.

Zhang Beixing began to introduce himself, but Shui Qingli and Shui Lili knew nothing about him. They never cared about official affairs and only enjoyed their own unique lives.

Zhang Beixing saw this and said with some emotion: "It seems that you live like termites, only knowing how to enjoy yourself and not caring about the suffering of the people at all."

The two girls became angry when they heard this, but they also knew that what Zhang Beixing said was true, so they couldn't refute it.

Shui Qingli couldn't help but said, "Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here? Tell me now."

Zhang Beixing then began to talk about a series of recent events, but the two girls looked confused. They knew nothing about the events between the Jiuzhou Empire and the Lin Kingdom.

Zhang Beixing saw this and had to explain patiently. He told Shui Qingli the historical origins and tried to make her understand the truth. But Shui Qingli didn't seem to be happy to hear this, and her brows were furrowed.

Zhang Beixing insisted on continuing, as he felt it was his responsibility to make Shui Qingming understand the seriousness of the matter. When he finished, he was already filled with indignation.

Shui Qingli did not comment immediately after listening to it. She seemed to be thinking about what Zhang Beixing said, and she also understood the boy's intention.

"Do you want to use me to threaten my father?" Shui Qingli asked.

Zhang Beixing nodded and admitted his purpose. When Shui Lili heard this, she hurriedly advised: "Miss, don't! You must not let him catch you."

Zhang Beixing burst into laughter and said, "Look at what you said. Do you still have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me?"

The two girls' expressions dimmed, they knew they were at a disadvantage. Zhang Beixing then told Shui Qingli that if she was willing to follow him respectfully, nothing would happen. But if he used force, it would be hard to say.

He was about to recount in detail the process of how he had dealt with Shui Lili just now, and Shui Lili nodded to him helplessly to show her approval.

Shui Qingli thought for a while, then said: "I can go with you, but you can't hurt me."

When Shui Lili heard this, she burst into tears again. She said to Zhang Beixing, "You just said that we Lin people are shameless. I think you are just as shameless!"

Zhang Beixing got angry when he heard this. He slapped Shui Lili and said, "I'm talking to your master. You have nothing to do here! Stop interrupting me!"

Shui Lili rolled her eyes at him but didn't dare to say anything. Shui Qingli said, "Don't hit her. I'll go with you."

Zhang Beixing nodded, but Shui Qingli asked again: "Are you just going to exchange me for Wu Jinhua's parents?"

Zhang Beixing immediately understood what she meant when she heard this. He had not thought about this issue before, but Shui Qingli reminded him now. He not only had to rescue Wu Jinhua's parents, but also had to take back the island.

"Don't worry about that! You are not qualified to negotiate with me now!" said Zhang Beixing.

Shui Qingli nodded, then suddenly yawned. She said, "How about this? Let's go during the day. I'm a little sleepy now."

Zhang Beixing suspected that she was playing a trick, so he said, "Are you trying to play some trick? I won't be fooled!"

Shui Qingli quickly explained: "How is it possible? I don't have the strength to fight you!" But Zhang Beixing still felt that the night was long and he insisted on leaving now. He said: "No! You must come with me now! Don't I feel sleepy?"

Shui Lili said she wanted to leave with him, because she had to take care of the young lady at all times. But Shui Qingli was unwilling to let his young lady suffer with him.

"Miss, I must follow you! Please let me follow you!" Shui Lili pleaded.

Zhang Beixing couldn't help but sneer when he saw them like this. He said, "You two really have a deep affection for each other as master and servant! In that case, both of you should go!"

Shui Lili heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Shui Qingli said, "Then I'll go inside and get some clothes. You won't object, will you?"

"Of course I won't object! But you have to take it in front of me!" Zhang Beixing said.

The two quickly packed their clothes. Shui Lili then asked, "Where are we going now?"

Zhang Beixing replied calmly: "Don't worry, let's leave here first."

Shui Lili hesitated a little, saying that they would have nowhere to go after leaving, so they might as well stay here. She also promised that the two of them would never do anything tricky or tip off each other.

Zhang Beixing didn't buy her tricks and said, "Don't try to trick me like that. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now."

Seeing this, Shui Qingli quickly advised Shui Lili to stop talking, saying that the most important thing now was to follow Zhang Bei as soon as possible.

So the three of them left the villa area. Shui Qingli saw the traces of broken windows and was secretly surprised.

Zhang Beixing ordered: "Hand over all your cell phones, I will keep them for you."

The two girls didn't say anything and handed over their phones obediently.

Zhang Beixing asked Shui Qingli again: "You have a car, right?"

Shui Qingming understood that he wanted to take her car. She asked Shui Lili to drive, but Zhang Beixing stopped her and said, "The three of us are together. We must be together no matter what time it is in the future. Remember?"

The three of them came to the parking lot, but Zhang Beixing was a little embarrassed. Shui Qingli asked him what was wrong and if there was anything wrong. She said that no matter what Zhang Beixing asked, they would cooperate.

Zhang Beixing said: "I will also search you. Although you have given me your communication tools, what if you use other methods to communicate?"

It was not surprising that he thought so. After all, Lin Country's communication technology was very advanced, and there might be other secret communication tools, especially for people of noble status like Shui Qingli.

The two girls quickly hugged each other's arms. Shui Lili cursed, "You filthy rascal, are you trying to take advantage of us?" and was about to hit Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing sneered and said, "If I really want to do something to you, do you think you can still remain innocent? I don't even bother to do such a thing."

Shui Qingli also felt that Zhang Beixing's words made sense, so she told Shui Lili to stop doubting him. She felt that Zhang Beixing was a great patriot, which gave her a little trust in him.

Shui Lili put down her hand and complained, "Miss, why do you trust him so much?"

Shui Qingli said: "I don't know why, but I feel that he has a passion that many young people in our Lin country don't have."

Zhang Beixing didn't expect that his arrival would actually change Shui Qingli's mind. He asked, "So, you are willing to let me search you?"

Shui Lili was still dissatisfied: "You just want to take advantage of us."

Shui Qingli said, "I'm already in your hands anyway, so there's no point in contacting the outside world. If you want to search me, we'll cooperate with you, but you can't search me directly. Let's search each other."

Zhang Beixing thought about it and agreed. The two girls searched each other and took out their pockets.

Shui Qingli said, "You don't think we hid the things in a special place, do you?"

Zhang Beixing smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you. Let's drive now."

Shui Lili was driving the car, while Zhang Beixing and Shui Qingli were sitting in the back seat. The car was luxurious and specially made, bulletproof, and worth more than 10 million.

Shui Lili asked: "Where are we going next?"

Zhang Beixing said, "Border, I want to go out." He then asked Shui Qingli, "With your identity, it should be okay to go directly to the border, right?"

Shui Qingli said: "Of course I can go out without a passport, but that would arouse suspicion."

Zhang Beixing said: "It doesn't matter, just follow me out now."

Shui Qingli had no choice but to agree. But it would take several hours to reach the border. After a while, Shui Lili said she was a little sleepy and wanted to take a rest.

Zhang Beixing disagreed: "Keep going."

Shui Lili said unhappily, "Why are you so unreasonable? Don't you know that driving for four hours is considered fatigue driving?"

Zhang Beixing asked Shui Qingli if she could drive. Shui Qingli nodded. Shui Lili said, "Forget it, I'll drive, Miss, you take a rest first, and you can take over when I can't hold on any longer."

Shui Qingli had no choice but to agree.

However, Shui Lili began to be distracted. She noticed that Shui Qingli had fallen into a deep sleep, and she couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Beixing would take the opportunity to do something bad to the young lady.

Zhang Beixing glanced at her coldly and ordered, "Focus on driving!"

He felt that the little girl was not focused on driving at all.

While Shui Lili was steering the wheel, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared in front of him and knelt on the ground.

Shui Lili subconsciously tried to dodge, but the old man moved quickly and rushed towards the car.

Shui Lili slammed on the brakes in an emergency, muttering to herself, could it be that I was being scammed?
Shui Qingli, who was originally sleeping, was also awakened by the sudden braking.

Shui Lili quickly rolled down the window and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

The old man replied: "I have a grievance, and I am here to ask you to help me redress it. Please stop the car and listen to me."

Shui Lili said impatiently: "If you have a grievance, you should seek legal help to resolve it. Why are you stopping our car?" (End of this chapter)
