Chapter 2006

Such resolute words made Lady Wen Yu even more concerned about Ning Anran’s predicament.

“This matter is not concluded yet, why rush to punish An Ran?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

Earlier, she heard about Baili Xia’s accident and also visited the medical room to check on her.

Nangong Xu said Baili Xia hadn’t woken up, and there was no way to know what had really happened yet.

But Ning Anran had already been taken away by Mu Xiaojiu. Based on her understanding of Mu Xiaojiu, she didn’t believe he would listen to Ning Anran’s explanations.

“She harmed my people,” Mu Xiaojiu said coldly.

“Perhaps she didn’t do it deliberately; in Sihai Residence, in your territory, how could she have the nerve?”

Even if Ning Anran hated Baili Xia, Lady Wen Yu would never believe she dared to harm Baili Xia in Sihai Residence.

“That’s why she is still alive.” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was devoid of any warmth.

Lady Wen Yu’s body shuddered violently, this naked killing intent made her feel a chill all over.

If Baili Xia really ended up in a disastrous situation, Ning Anran’s little life certainly wouldn’t be preserved.

That girl really held no weight in Mu Xiaojiu’s heart.

Was Mu Xuri’s move really of any use?

She stared into Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes, the depths of his eyes were unfathomable.

At this moment, she dared not speak carelessly, fearing to provoke him into tearing Ning Anran apart.

“Do you also believe it’s not her doing?” Lady Wen Yu probed.

“It doesn’t matter.”

It doesn’t matter? Lady Wen Yu looked at him and suddenly seemed to understand.

Whether or not Ning Anran did it, the key was Baili Xia’s opinion.

If Baili Xia wanted Ning Anran alive, Ning Anran could continue living; if she was unhappy seeing Ning Anran alive, Ning Anran surely wouldn’t safely leave this secret room.

Lady Wen Yu felt her heart turn slightly cold.

“Are you waiting for Xiaxia to wake up?”

As soon as she said this, she realized it was unnecessary.

Jiu simply doesn’t believe Ning Anran; no one can stop him except for Baili Xia.

It’s imaginable that if Baili Xia wakes and says Ning Anran pushed her, Ning Anran would face a dire outcome.

“Anything else?” Mu Xiaojiu said indifferently as he wanted to leave again.

“Can I go see her?”

Lady Wen Yu was out of options; perhaps she could only hope Baili Xia wouldn’t place the blame on Ning Anran after waking.

Even though she could ask Mu Xuri for help, in this matter, she couldn’t guarantee that Jiu would listen to Mu Xuri.

Perhaps the answer was already obvious; he definitely wouldn’t listen.

“Whatever.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say more, leaving with just two words.

Soon, he disappeared from Lady Wen Yu’s sight.

Lady Wen Yu knew where the secret room was and headed over.

Outside the door of the secret room, two guard brothers stood.

Seeing Lady Wen Yu, they nodded to her.

“Lady Wen Yu.”

“I spoke with Mr. Xiaojiu about going to see Ning Anran.”

The two brothers exchanged glances and didn’t say much more, directly opening the stone door.

Earlier, when Lady Wen Yu was speaking with Mr. Xiaojiu, they witnessed it too.

Since Mr. Xiaojiu let her come, allowing her inside to have a look posed no issue.

Lady Wen Yu nodded to them and stepped down the stone steps into the secret room.

Once inside, she was startled by the cold and damp environment.

The lighting here was poor; imagining such conditions felt terrifying.

One brother walked ahead to lead the way.

Soon, they arrived outside Ning Anran’s secret room door.

Lady Wen Yu could hear faint moaning coming from inside the secret room.
