Chapter 1192 Key of knowledge.

Li Xue's brows got to raise at the early sight as blinking her eyes she looked around in astonishment before asking, "May I know what's happening here?" Her gaze trailed to look at the crowd of uniformed people that were around.

It was just last night, she mentioned that although the people around her seem to increase, it has not become very evident on the surface. But today, wasn't it getting over excessive in the front? What was all this about?

Li Xue thought that she would be receiving an answer to her asked question, but to her surprise, no words came after her words. Instead, she looked at all of them standing there with utmost politeness with their head bowed to her.

"Hey, no one is going to answer me?" She couldn't understand their silence. They weren't offending her, instead they were just looking like they were silent as per someone's orders. Her brows tugged in a frown when she felt herself all clueless about the things. She was just about to ask again when heard the voice of Sister Margaret greeting her.

"Good morning, Madam."

Li Xue turned to look and behind the lady, she saw the line of maids ready to work. "Good morning, Sister Margaret and everyone." She greeted back. The line of maids didn't surprise her for it was the same every day. The maids would come along with Sister Margaret and would leave after her. So, she was already used to it.

She looked at their bowed head in greetings and nodded. And seeing her nod, the maids soon got inside the house to do their work. While Sister Margaret stayed back to assist the lady.

Li Xue looked back at the people and her brows once again tugged in a frown. "Sister Margaret, do you know anything about this?" She asked and the old lady turned to look at all the young men standing in their defensive stance.

"Madam, they are all from the troops of our family defense clan. Some of their uniforms seem to be of the color worn by the high cadre officials. The ones who are behind the training of the top ones." She said and Li Xue's eyes blink more with dumbfoundedness at her words.

"You mean to say they all are one of the bests?"

Sister Margaret shook her head. "Nope Madam. Not everyone. Some of them are really from the high cadre units while others are all secondary ones." Sister Margaret has aged herself in the family. It was not tough for her to recognize all these things with her bare eyes.

But Li Xue was still new to all this knowledge. Although she knew that she had been around hidden security surveillance, she never had thought those to be so high profile.

Blinking her eyes at her lack of knowledge, she coughed slightly before drinking the glass of water in her hand to clear her throat. "Ahem! If they are so top-notch, Sister Margaret, may I get to know what they are doing here out at our place so early in the morning? Did the sky burst last night? Or will there be a terrorist attack coming on our country that they are here to protect us?"

She asked, not able to contemplate any reason suitable for this massive outcome.

Sister Margaret looked at the boys and was as clueless as the lady. Shaking her head, she denied any knowledge. "Sorry Madam, I have no idea. You can ask them. They might not refuse you." She said and Li Xue turned to look at the lady, pursing her lips.

"Sister Margaret, do you think I wouldn't have tried. I did. They are just not saying anything. And I couldn't take it as their offense as well since they are all standing there in utmost politeness, rarely looking up at me."

She said and as if already understood the thing about it, Sister Margaret smiled, making Li Xue confused for a second.

"Madam, then that must be the order they would have received. They would simply not go out of that order, no matter what." The old lady spoke and that wasn't the solution Li Xue was looking for.

So, taking a deep breath in while sipping on the lukewarm water, she asked. "So, are you saying that I have no way to find out the reason? There must be a way." She said as her eyes caught the sight of someone who might not be able to conceal it from her.

Sister Margaret's smile grew deeper as she also followed the gaze of the lady. "Madam, I believe that you would definitely find a way to solve it. Please allow me to go in and check on the girls. I fear they would need my supervision." The old lady said humbly and Li Xue simply nodded to her, allowing her to walk inside the house first.

While Sister Margaret walked inside, Li Xue's gaze turned sharper at Du Fan who was standing not too far away. Although she hadn't caught any of his gaze looking towards her up until now, she was sure that he knew she was there looking for the answers. Her lips curled up as she called all softly.

"Mr. Driver, good morning. I see you are up early today. May I have a word with you? I feel like you can be a very good key of knowledge to my confusion." She said and at her words like that, she saw the man stiffening for a moment. She didn't blame him for that for she knew that her words did sound like a trap that was ready to trap him to reveal the secrets.

And the irony of the situation was the poor man had no option to refuse it as well.

Du Fan looked her way for the first time and hesitated for a moment. "Madam, this … can we …"

Before he could say more, Li Xue shook her head while pressing an obvious smile over her lips. "Nope, we can't wait for later. It's just a little information that I need from you. I believe that it would hardly take you any time." She said and the poor driver had no option but to give in to her words.
