Chapter 1608

Mu Dongyu’s order made the security guards exchange glances with each other.

It was very clear that Mr.

Mu and the eldest young master wanted to protect Baili Xia.

However, the elder master insisted on holding Baili Xia accountable.

In this situation, no one dared to speak rashly, and calling the police was out of the question.

Shooting the bird that takes the lead!

Suddenly, a chilly voice came from the doorway.

“Let’s see who dares to touch her.”

Upon hearing this voice, everyone’s hearts trembled, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.

Uncle is back!

This matter, it has to be Uncle who comes forward to handle it properly.

Mu Xiaojiu strode in, and the cold aura around him instantly froze the atmosphere in the small living room.

“Anyone who dares to touch her, I’ll make sure they can’t stay in Jin City.”

He said lightly, walking straight to Baili Xia’s side, placing a hand on her shoulder.

This manner clearly signaled to the world that he wouldn’t let anyone harm this girl even slightly.

Mu Xiaojiu’s arrival finally set Baili Xia at ease.

She gently called out, “Uncle.”

Even though she knew she was being wrongly accused, she was powerless in the face of Mu Dongyu’s aggressive manner.

She certainly couldn’t let Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao stand up for her.

That would lead to a rift between them and their father, something she didn’t wish for.

“Mu Xiaojiu!” Mu Dongyu shouted, and at this moment, everyone could feel his anger.

“Big brother, do you have a problem?”

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at him and said coolly.

Mu Dongyu’s rage was instantly ignited by Mu Xiaojiu.

This outsider, not only grabbing his shares, now, directly in front of so many people, was stepping on him; how could he endure this?

He was the real member of the Mu family, while Mu Xiaojiu was merely an illegitimate child!

Perhaps he was even a fake, without a trace of blood relation to the Mu family.

“Mu Xiaojiu, don’t push it too far…”

Just as he was ready to unleash his fury on Mu Xiaojiu, that icy and absolute gaze from Mu Xiaojiu completely swallowed his words.

Mu Dongyu had never directly confronted Mu Xiaojiu before, though he’d thought about going against him, he’d only dared to make small moves.

This was his first proper face-to-face confrontation.

That dagger-like cold gaze from Mu Xiaojiu made his heart inexplicably tremble several times!

Mu Dongyu’s large hands shook with anger, yet he didn’t know what else to do.

The atmosphere grew tense once more, and at this moment, Feng Gang walked out from the patriarch’s bedroom.

As he walked, he said, “Everyone, please wait; the old master has something to say.”

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief; his timing was impeccable.

Otherwise, it would be imaginable what kind of battle might break out between Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Dongyu.

Feng Gang went up to Mu Dongyu, saluted, and said, “Elder master, please don’t be angry; the patriarch is aware of everything, and he has some words for me to convey to everyone.”

He then looked at Mu Xiaojiu, respectfully saying, “Young master.”

Mu Xiaojiu gave a slight nod without responding.

Only then did Feng Gang look at everyone, calmly saying, “The old master just said that this is just a misunderstanding and has nothing to do with Miss Xiaxia; it was his own mistake.”

“He asks everyone to disperse and not pursue the matter further.”

“What? Disperse?” Mu Dongyu clearly couldn’t accept this explanation.

After all that rage, this is the result?

“Dad’s been poisoned; such a big deal, and we’re just supposed to let it go?”
