章節 528: Chapter 528: Elena Howard
Today, Elena was dressed in a pure white down jacket, with a fluffy white ear muff on her head. She wore black pants and knee-high boots. At first glance, she gave Xia Yu a stunning impression—pure, elegant, and extraordinarily beautiful.
Xia Yu noticed that Elena was followed by four burly men in black, all with stern expressions. Especially when these four bodyguards saw the five burly men on the ground groaning, their gazes toward Li Wuming and the others around Xia Yu became tense.
"Oh my God, Henry, what happened here? Why is your face so pale?"
Although Elena recognized Xia Yu, her face changed when she saw the five men lying on the ground. She quickly walked over and grabbed her brother Henry's hand, examining him anxiously and asking, "Are you injured? Tell me quickly."
Henry, the black-haired British boy, blushed with shame and said, "Sorry, sister. I shouldn't have sneaked away. Those men tried to grab me and even held a knife to my neck. They wanted to kill me. I almost didn't get to see you."
Elena, hearing this, asked urgently, "Are you hurt? Tell me quickly."
The four black-clad bodyguards next to Elena also heard Henry's words, and their expressions changed. Two of them immediately went to check the five fallen robbers, even hitting them a few more times to make sure they were incapacitated before inquiring further.
"Sister, I'm not injured. These gentlemen saved me!"
Henry struggled to say, looking towards Xia Yu and the others.
Feeling embarrassed, he became somewhat excited and said to his sister Elena, "Sister, let me tell you, these gentlemen know Chinese kung fu, especially this one. He took down five robbers in seconds, and they still can't get up. It's amazing!"
"I want to ask him to be my teacher and teach me Chinese kung fu!"
"That way, if I encounter danger in the future, I can defeat all my enemies. Ah… fight!"
As he spoke, Henry excitedly waved his fists, seemingly imagining himself as an unstoppable force.
Hearing that her brother was unharmed, Elena sighed in relief. When he excitedly continued talking, Elena rolled her eyes in exasperation, her playful expression catching Xia Yu's attention.
Then, Elena smiled gratefully at Xia Yu, "Sir, we meet again. I sincerely thank you for saving my brother."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Elena Howard. This is my brother Henry. He is young and doesn't understand much. If he says something inappropriate, please don't take it to heart."
"Brother, I'm not that young. Don't treat me like a child, okay?"
Henry, hearing his sister call him a child, frowned and said seriously to her, but received only her disregard in return. He was immediately upset.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I believe anyone would step in if they saw your brother in danger."
"Also, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xia Yu. I must say, your name suits your demeanor very well."
"Of course, don't blame your brother. He's doing much better than most kids—lively and straightforward."
"Thank you!"
Xia Yu's words made both Elena and Henry smile, especially Henry, who shrugged at his sister as if to convey some unspoken message.
The name Elena, in English, is derived from Helen, which refers to an elegant woman of high society. It implies someone with black eyes and hair, a star and focus at a banquet.
However, Elena is a variant word that generally refers to an elegant and noble woman, like a queen or princess.
So when Xia Yu said that Elena's name fit her, Elena had a favorable impression of him.
Especially when thinking about Xia Yu's impressive performance before and the piano piece she had been pondering but couldn't find, Elena felt a sudden urge to ask about the piece.
However, being more mature and composed than her brother, she knew what was more important at the moment and suppressed her curiosity.
After a while, the police arrived. Seeing that both Xia Yu and Elena's groups had bodyguards, they realized the situation was serious. When one of Elena's bodyguards showed something to a police officer, the leading officer's face changed drastically. He immediately called for nearby officers and reported to his superiors.
After waiting for a while, a large number of police arrived. An apparent police chief became extremely respectful upon seeing Elena.
A group of people then went to a nearby police station to give statements and were respectfully seen out. As they left, the police chief solemnly promised Elena that they would investigate the matter as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xia Yu…"
Just after leaving the police station, Elena spoke to Xia Yu. But before she could say more than a few words, Xia Yu gently interrupted her, smiling, "I'm younger than you, so if you don't mind, just call me Xia Yu."
"Alright, you saved my brother, so you're a friend of our family, and also my friend."
"Xia Yu, call me Elena."
"Okay, Elena. What did you want to say earlier?"
Xia Yu said, smiling, and looked at Elena calmly.
Elena blinked her bright eyes and said apologetically, "Xia Yu, I should properly thank you for saving my brother, but I need to take him back to Norfolk immediately. My father is very worried."
"So, could you give me your contact information?"
"Yes, Xia Yu. Why don't you come to my house? I really want to properly thank you for saving us."
Henry also chimed in, though his gaze kept subconsciously drifting to the expressionless Li Wuming, clearly still thinking about learning Chinese kung fu.
"Thank you. I still have many things to do in London, so I don't have time to go to Norfolk at the moment. I appreciate your invitation."
"I work at a company in the City of London called Bright Fund, located at 67 Kennington Avenue, and my phone number is…"
"Of course, you can also find me at the Chinese Bank at 105 Andra Avenue in the City."
After declining Henry's invitation, Xia Yu smiled at Elena.
"I'll remember that."
"Goodbye, my friend!"
"Goodbye!"
Then, Elena pulled the reluctant Henry into a car and left. Xia Yu watched their car drive away.
Thinking of something, Xia Yu suddenly shook his head and smiled.
"Let's go, it's getting late. We should head back!"
With that, Xia Yu and Li Wuming went home. Xia Yu did not mention what happened today to Li Xi to avoid worrying her.
