Chapter 2381 Feeling sorry for him
Marcy is also very satisfied with her work.
Then, put the cake in the refrigerator to ensure it remains in optimal condition throughout the night.
As for the restaurant scene, she and Charlene spent several hours to set it up.
After discussing it, the two decided to go to school first to handle some daily affairs, and then buy some fresh fruits and food and drinks on the way back after finishing their homework in the evening.
When the time comes, call Zhou Si over to celebrate his birthday.
On the way back to school, Marcy noticed the unread message on her phone. It was from Zhou Si.
She quickly replied, "I didn't take it to heart. Have a good birthday. Can we meet after the party? I need you for something."
There was no reply from Zhou Si.
Marcy didn't take it seriously at first, thinking he might be busy with his birthday party, so she just waited quietly for news.
But still can't resist the unexpected.
Someone slipped an invitation into her textbook when she went to the bathroom during break.
When she came back and opened the book, she suddenly found the exquisite card with a note saying, "Zhou Si will be troubled by Lantus tonight, and perhaps a bloody incident will occur."
After reading it, Ma Xi's eyebrows jumped.
She carefully examined the invitation letter, her fingertips trembling slightly, and the gold-stamped patterns on the paper flashed dazzlingly under the light.
This invitation is clearly a trap. Maybe someone is deliberately trying to lure me in.
But she couldn't help but worry about Zhou Si's situation.
That image is simply unforgettable.
Will he be isolated and helpless when facing the turbulent situation alone?
This contradiction tore her apart. Reason reminded her to act cautiously, but her emotions urged her to act.
Finally, she suppressed her panic and called Xiao Ba to ask about the details of the Lantes banquet.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba answered truthfully, “There is indeed a sense of tension as a storm is about to come, because when this young master returns, he will obviously be announced as one of the heirs.
As you know, he was originally an abandoned child, and there were very few forces truly supporting him. On the other hand, his half-brother not only had the full support of his biological mother's family, but also won over most of the elders, and there were many people who stood on his side openly or secretly.
I guess there will be a lot of people trying to make things difficult for him at the banquet tonight.
Normally, in this kind of situation, others might not trip him up, but Lantus is acting crazy, so this time it's not certain."
Ma Xi didn't understand the darkness in it, so she asked Xiao Ba, "Then what do you think the other party will use?"
Xiao Ba pondered for a moment and said what he was thinking, "I guess he won't let him take over Lantes so easily. He might try to control him, manipulate his every move, and monitor all his future actions.
Or... after the birthday party, they could kill him outside or create an accident. All of these are possible."
Marcy's heart trembled, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Is Lantus really so cold-blooded? After all, we are related by blood, how could he be so cruel?"
After all, it's Lantus' child, right?
Xiao Ba has been in the martial arts world for many years and is no longer surprised. He calmly replied, "If Lanster really cared about this, he would not have treated him as a mental patient and forcibly sent him to a mental hospital, leaving him to suffer there."
After hearing this, Marcy felt uncomfortable, as if something was blocking her.
I really feel sorry for him.
It must have been difficult for him before, right?
She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Xiao Ba, how many people do we have at our disposal now? I want to mobilize some, just in case."
She didn't want Zhou Si to be in any danger.
Although I can't help him in any way, I still want to do something for him.
Xiao Ba was slightly stunned, slightly surprised that Miss Marcy would do this.
But he immediately regained his composure and answered truthfully: "Mr. Pei has a lot of people at our disposal. If you need anything, you can give us orders at any time."
Ma Xi nodded and ordered directly: "Okay, then go and arrange some people! Have them stay near the hotel and protect Zhou Si secretly after the banquet is over."
The people under Brother Pei Yan are all first-rate fighters and are stationed near the hotel.
In this way, Zhou Si also has an extra layer of protection.
If there is any emergency at the banquet, we can rush there as soon as possible just in case.
Xiao Ba respectfully accepted the order and replied, "Yes."
Then he asked with concern: "Miss, are you planning to attend that banquet?"
At first, Marcy had no intention of going, but after receiving the invitation, the uneasiness in her heart became more obvious.
Decided to go anyway.
She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What if I say yes?"
Xiao Ba looked serious and didn't say anything. He just said, "Okay, but you must take me with you. I have to ensure your safety throughout the trip."
Marcy was surprised. She thought he would stop her, but she actually agreed readily.
She felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on her face, "Okay, then come pick me up on time in the evening."
Xiao Ba responded, "Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ba quickly mobilized people and was ready to be on standby at any time.
As soon as there was any movement here, Pei Yan received the news.
Although the Seven Killers' manpower was already available for Ma Xi to use, this girl was still a student after all, and her family was still worried about her, so they let her go completely.
The necessary supervision is still necessary.
And the facts have proved that it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
Pei Yan quickly asked Xiao Ba about the details, "Ma Xi mobilized so many people, what do you want to do?"
Otherwise, why would a girl who has always been well-behaved make such a fuss?
Xiao Ba was on the other end of the phone, reporting everything in detail.
"Ms. Ma Xi, she is mobilizing people because she wants her subordinates to secretly protect Zhou Si. Also, she will be attending the birthday party tonight."
After Xiao Ba finished speaking, Pei Yan directly reported the news to Lu Yanjue.
He also said: "This girl is really amazing. The first time she attacked someone was for a young man. Should we care about this matter? We should just let her go."
After listening to Pei Yan's narration, Lu Yanjue remained calm as always, having already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
He replied, “Since she is at her disposal, she can do whatever she wants, and you can just let your men make sure she is alright.
Besides, if I remember correctly, Mo Jue, Si Chen, and my junior sister and her husband will also be present at Lantus' birthday party. With them watching, nothing will go wrong!"
Pei Yan heard this and thought so too.
Moreover, at the birthday party, with the presence of big shots like Mr. Fu, she can be protected, so she doesn't have to worry about anything going wrong.
Therefore, he ignored it and just turned around to give Xiao Ba an order, "Make sure to protect Ma Xi throughout the whole process and don't let her get hurt, otherwise you will be held responsible!"
Xiao Ba immediately straightened his back and replied solemnly: "Understood, I will definitely protect Miss Marcy."
