Chapter 2063

Mu Xiaoyao’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, deep in thought.

After a while, he looked at Baili Xia and said, “She already removed the bracelet, preparing to rescue herself. I can’t think of anyone who has the ability to stop her from firing the hidden weapon, unless…”

“Unless what?” Baili Xia’s eyes narrowed, staring intently at Mu Xiaoyao.

“Unless she was faced with someone as quick as Uncle and me.”

Saying something that sounded like self-praise, there was no emotion in Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes.

No pride, nor any discomfort or embarrassment, because what he said was the truth.

Baili Xia knew that her Brother never liked to boast.

His and Uncle’s skills were indeed fast, extraordinarily so, and that was the fact.

It’s just that…

This answer left Baili Xia utterly disappointed. Someone as formidable as her Brother and Uncle was not unheard of, but she had never seen such a person in Jin City.

Especially appearing in the Mu family, it seemed highly unlikely.

Unless Guisu had returned.

But how could Guisu return without a word of notice?

Moreover, the target was Xiaoxiao, her good friend, and Guisu would never do anything to harm her.

“I’ll investigate to see who could possibly have done this,” Mu Xiaoyao could only comfort Baili Xia this way.

He himself was uncertain, knowing his own skills well, and whoever did this was undoubtedly a top-notch expert.

In the Mu family, could there really be such an expert?

“Wu Ming…” Baili Xia suddenly thought of something, but immediately dismissed it.

She shook her head, “It couldn’t possibly be Wu Ming, definitely not.”

For no reason, she just instinctively believed that Wu Ming wouldn’t harm Xiaoxiao.

“It won’t be Wu Ming,” Mu Xiaoyao said seriously.

Baili Xia nodded, still pondering whether something had been overlooked.

“Check again, to see if any other experts have visited the Mu family. Also, among the new people with Third Uncle, could there be such a formidable expert?”

Mu Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “We’re not familiar with Third Uncle’s people. He has quite a few capable people under him, even Uncle isn’t sure of their skills.”

“However, I’ve looked into the people protecting him, there’s no one quite that formidable.”

At this point, his expression turned serious, and he said sternly, “I will investigate this matter, you shouldn’t pursue it further.”

Baili Xia looked up at him, knowing that her Brother was worried that the continued investigation would be dangerous, but how could she not pursue it?

“Alright, I understand.”

She casually said, without elaborating further.

Some things couldn’t be discussed too much in front of her Brother.

She was no longer the little girl who knew nothing and waited for others to help.

Certain things needed to be done herself.

Mu Xiaoyao was not unaware of her nature, though she seemed frail, she was as stubborn as anyone else.

He could only comfort, “While Xiaoxiao is still unconscious, I will arrange for more people to guard her. Don’t act rashly, let me know if anything happens.”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, immediately understanding his implication.

Since Xiaoxiao was still alive, the assailant might strike again at her.

Worrying involuntarily about Xiaoxiao’s safety again, yet knowing that as long as she stayed at the Sihai Residence, there should be some security.

With Uncle’s people handling things, she could still feel reassured.

However, arranging more guards wouldn’t be wrong.

After all, since Xiaoxiao was harmed in the Mu family, the perpetrator might still be lurking within the family.

Although it wasn’t Ning Anran, then who could it be?
