Xi Zirui is very busy over the next couple of days.
Lonely too.
He drifts through the giant penthouse making calls and arranging everything for Su Xueyi's disappearance.
Su Xueyi keeps constant tabs on him. "Who were you on the phone with for so long?"
"The bank, liquidizing all assets in my name."
Su Xueyi is silent for some time. "Why did you do that?"
"I'm going to disappear with you right? It's only logical, besides. I need the money to pay off the Shen family."
That gets his interest. "They accepted that?"
"Of course not, they want you dead." That much is true, the payout is to ensure they can do everything to Su Xueyi except kill him. "I've managed to convince them that I can lure you back to the glass house where you'll be disposed of. They still want to extort me, though."
It takes all of Xi Zirui's willpower not to smile when he hears Ni Ni's familiar chime.
