Benjamin knew that something was wrong. After all, Wisdom didn't tell Rita the true reason he left, so it was obvious that he didn't want her to know about it. Therefore, how could he say it?
However, Rita wouldn't let it go if he refused to say anything. Thus, he felt even more upset.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"
As he spoke, he was about to run to the toilet, but Rita grabbed him by the collar.
"Don't run away. Do you really think that I won't dare to enter the male bathroom? Benjamin, think about it. If I enter the bathroom, you have to be responsible for me."
When Benjamin heard it, he couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"My god, you are really..."
Benjamin couldn't find a suitable word to describe her.
On the other hand, Rita smiled cheekily and joked, "What is it?"
"Well, I'll help you, okay? However, you'll have to rescue me if Wisdom beats me up, okay?"
Rita immediately said disdainfully, "Urgh! How can you be so shameless and ask a girl like me to protect you?"
"Of course, I don't want to do this, but you forced me to do it, so shouldn't you protect me?"
"Okay, okay! I'll protect you! Hurry up!"
Rita was extremely anxious right now.
Benjamin slowly got up and walked towards the study room. As he walked, he winked at the servants, and one of them immediately understood the signal, so he quickly gave a call to Zion.
After turning on the computer, Benjamin quickly typed on the keyboard.
When Zion heard the news, he was stunned. Then, he quickly turned on the computer and began to chat with Benjamin on the computer using the codes.
"Tell Rita that Lucas is ill, and Wisdom came to help us out. Also, you should tell her to not worry because Wisdom will bring Lucas back in two days time. Furthermore, great- grandpa got sick because of this matter, so ask him to take care of him well."
"Is Lucas really sick?"
Benjamin couldn't help but worry.
"No, he was kidnapped. The Bell family was the one who kidnapped him, so I'll settle this with them."
"Are you talking about the Bell family from the Santell Capital?"
"Yeah, you should be careful. I remember that the Bell family has some forces in the army, and they have been keeping a low profile recently."
Zion was a little worried about Benjamin.
"Don't worry. After all, my dad is an influential figure, and no one dares to offend him. By the way, I overheard a conversation when I went back to my hometown in Bangsar City a few days ago. I saw someone talking to my dad, and he mentioned about the Bell family. Are they trying to bribe my family because they couldn't take over the Ye family?"
"I'm not sure, but just leave these adults' matters to me. How has your body been recently?"
"I'm good. Don't worry about me. I'm always here if you need help."
"All right."
Zion was rather grateful.
After all, Benjamin was one of his best brothers.
On the other hand, Rita could not understand the secret code exchanged between them. Thus, she frowned and ask, "Are you done yet?"
"Do you it's easy being a hacker? I have to look for it slowly!"
Benjamin said hurriedly.
When Rita saw Benjamin's long fingers tapping on the keyboard, she couldn't help but think of Zion. She didn't know how her brother was doing right now.
In fact, she missed him a little.
However, Rita waited quietly. After a moment, Benjamin finally told her what Zion has said.
Upon hearing the news, she looked a little worried.
"What sort of illness does he have? Is it serious?"
"Well, I can't find out more about this matter, and Wisdom is already gone. How do you expect me to find out about this?"
There was nothing wrong with his words.
After her purpose had been achieved, Rita got up and left.
"Aren't you too heartless?"
Benjamin was gloomy when he saw this.
However, Rita waved her hand and said, "I'll buy you something delicious later."
Did he need food?
