Chapter 2140

Assassination attempts are something neither Mu Xiaojiu nor Mu Xiaoyao are willing to discuss with Baili Xia.

Now they’re willing to bring it up, firstly because the girl has indeed become much tougher than before.

Secondly, they don’t know what moves the opponent might make next, even with protection, one must still be vigilant.

Rather than keeping it a secret, it’s better to let her learn to face it herself.

“Could they possibly target me?” Baili Xia asked in confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, she understood Mu Xiaojiu’s concerns.

The opposing side, having already targeted Uncle, must be aware of her relationship with Uncle and Brother.

Just like Lu Xuening, if they were to kidnap her to threaten them, they would surely comply.

With this thought, Baili Xia felt even more that her strength is far from enough and she’s still a liability.

“Alright, I won’t run around recklessly.” She didn’t want the previous incident to happen again.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded and said calmly, “Our people have discovered that these people have connections with several of the Eight Big Families.”

“Though not important figures, it’s certain their people have already infiltrated the Eight Big Families.”

Baili Xia’s heart shook, growing more uneasy.

This news was too shocking, how could this organization be powerful enough to have ties with all Eight Big Families!

What exactly is their purpose?

“What about our Mu family? Do they have infiltrators?”

“Most likely they do, but they haven’t been found yet.”

Mu Xiaojiu paused and continued, “That’s precisely why we are in greater danger.”

“If someone inside is passing information to them, it’s easy for them to track our movements.”

Baili Xia seemed to suddenly recall something and said, “Last time, Uncle got injured on the way back, didn’t he?”

“Could it be that they knew your whereabouts and then…”

She didn’t finish, already frightened.

Because on that day, it was her who sent a message notifying Brother, leading them to come back.

Thinking about it this way, indeed the enemy had already infiltrated within the Mu Mansion.

Mu Xiaoyao saw her concern and said calmly, “Uncle already considered this and has started investigating.”

“From now on, you need to be extra careful.”

Baili Xia nodded deeply, never expecting that Uncle’s injury was orchestrated from the moment she sent the message.

Who could it be? Many knew about the family meeting that day.

Apart from those present, there were servants in the main house, plenty of suspects to sift through.

However, her greatest suspicion fell on Mu Xuri.

She absolutely believed what Grandpa once said, that he once harmed Uncle’s father and Grandpa.

If he dared do such things, she had no doubt he would also target Uncle.

However, telling Uncle that Mu Xuri wants to harm him, he most likely wouldn’t believe it.

Seeing her brows still furrowed, Mu Xiaojiu added, “Don’t overthink it, I’ll investigate this matter.”

Baili Xia nodded, knowing she had to be more cautious in the future.

She glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, then at Mu Xiaoyao.

With all three present today, some things needed to be said.

“Uncle, there’s something I need to tell you.”

Coming to this point, she suddenly lost her courage.

Facing Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze, Baili Xia took a deep breath and finally spoke up.

“I’ve already regained my memory, so I can recall everything from before.”

Afraid she might hesitate, she said the entire sentence in one breath.

“During that past period, I kept it hidden. I stayed here to uncover the truth and clear my Grandpa’s name!”
