"Young master, Director is not a stubborn old man. You know better than me what kind of person he is." The butler did not approve of Li Quan risking his life to go in.

He had already angered the Director, and if this continued, there would be no good outcome for him.

Li Quan was extremely tired, his voice turned hoarse, "You don't have to worry, I know how to face this and I know the consequences."

He wanted to give it a try. Instead of continuing to be his grandfather's puppet, he wanted to give it a try.

The butler did not know how to advise Li Quan otherwise. Seeing him fall asleep in the back seat, he closed his mouth and swallowed all the words that he wanted to say.

Arriving at the manor, the butler woke Li Quan up.

He lifted his hand and pressed it against his aching forehead, then got out of the car.

The servant brought his luggage into the house. He stood by the garden and watched the desolate scene in the garden. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Young master, let's enter the house first."

Li Quan acknowledged her as she turned and entered the house.

The heavy curtains in the room were closed and no lights were turned on.

Only a glimmer of light shone through the gaps between the curtains and into the room. The weak light cast a faint glow on the floor, but it did not provide any illumination.

The housekeeper entered and saw the dark room. He touched the switch on the wall and turned on the lights in the room.

Seeing Li Quan sitting on the side of the bed, with his eyes downcast and a gloomy expression, he sighed, "Young Master, I'll go and get the medicine box. Let me change the medicine for you."

He did not move.

The butler then continued, "Young master, it's very difficult to recover from those injuries without proper treatment. You don't want the Miss Su to find out, right?"

Only by mentioning this did he react.

He lifted up his hand and untied the clothes on his body one by one. After taking them off, there was only a white vest on his body.

There were whip marks on his arms, and there was blood on his white vest.

He took off his vest and exposed his upper body, exposing all his wounds.

Even though he had already mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. The butler sucked in a breath of cold air.

Some of the wounds had already started to fester, and were sticking to the gauze. The butler carefully removed the gauze and cleaned his wounds again.

Li Quan's face turned white, but he did not make a sound.

The reason why he did not contact Su Qiao An during the few months he was in England was because he was locked up. It was hard to even go out, let alone report back to Su Qiao An.

Before he went back, he had already mentally prepared himself. His grandfather had always been a professional, independent, and ruthless person. It was impossible for him to listen to their warnings.

What he had to say was equivalent to completely exposing that seemingly peaceful mask, and touching upon his grandfather's reverse scale.

There were countless possibilities, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be so ruthless.

He did not know how he had endured, nor did he want to recall the months he had lived in the Hells of Flame.

He only remembered how that man mocked him before he returned home for overestimating his own abilities.

"Young master, this Director is able to kill you just because you suggested it. If you continue to be so stubborn, this Director will take your life!"

"The one who insists on not being me, but him." Li Quan said coldly, "I was only doing what I thought was right. That person caused me to lose the chance to be with my parents and controlled my entire life. I don't want to be played around by him anymore."

"But …"

"No buts, I'm not the one in the wrong." He did not regret it. Even if he could choose again, he would still choose to say the words that had been buried deep within his heart for many years.

It was not just because of Su Qiao An's persuasion, but more importantly, it was because he had been enslaved for a long time.

Since he had returned to his country, the happiest and happiest thing was most likely his encounter with Su Qiao An.

A woman who made him see things clearly, a woman who was brave enough to make him respect her and fear her.

Having grown up abroad, he did not think that it was inappropriate for a woman to pursue the one she loved, nor did he think that she was overestimating her own worth.

A person who had never experienced that sort of life did not have any right to judge whether she was right or wrong.

For those who were wandering in the dark corners, having a ray of light was extremely precious. It was also the only thing that warmed their hearts.

Since the butler refused to listen to him, he could only shut his mouth.

Carefully dressing his wound, the butler spoke up, "Then Young Master, what do you plan to do next? The goal Director set for you is simply impossible to achieve, and you know it very well. "

To put it bluntly, that person was making things difficult for Li Quan.

Li Quan tried his best to close his eyes, to hide the emotions that was welling up in his eyes, "I know, so I don't want to try." He would not touch someone she liked, and he had no chance of winning.

Forget about Mrs Chu, just Zhu Jiangci alone, that man was not someone he could deal with.

"But you made a military order at the Director. If you do not complete it after a year, you …" The butler wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Li Quan worriedly.

Li Quan laughed indifferently, "Isn't there still another year? Let's finish this year first, and decide what to do in the future. "

If he really couldn't win, then having a short period of freedom would be a good thing for him. Moreover, there was someone he wanted to meet here.

Before he came back, he had considered contacting the family.

After thinking it over, he finally gave up and did not do that.

Zhu Jiangci hid Su Qiao An well, he could understand that, after all, if the other family members knew, Su Qiao An would not be Zhu Jiangci's.

As for him …

He probably did not want to see Su Qiao An in a difficult situation. If that person really left Zhu Jiangci, he would be very sad, right?

He didn't want her to be unhappy. He didn't want her to be a second person.

Lying wasn't necessarily a mistake. Sometimes, they just had to lie in order to protect those they wanted to protect.

It was out of goodwill, without a trace of dark suspicion.

The butler kept the medicine box and sighed as he shook his head. They all knew what kind of person Director was.

To be able to let him come back alive was already a great act of compassion, so how could the one year time limit really allow him to be free and unfettered? Director must have already made arrangements for him to come up with such tricky requests.

The young master was still too naive, he thought that the Director was too simple, he would never allow anyone to go against his words, questioning his decision. In his eyes, once they did something that was not afraid of death, it was equivalent to betraying him.

The Director would never show mercy to anyone who betrayed him …
