Chapter 2150

Baili Xia stood up and moved to the other side, picking a comfortable position to sit.

“Let me give you a massage to help you relax. Close your eyes and have a good rest.”

Wen Yu really obediently closed her eyes. As long as someone was there with her, she felt much safer.

No matter what, in the Mu family, that man might still have some concerns and wouldn’t act recklessly.

If this was all truly deliberate…

Her mind was a mess, truly chaotic.

Never in all these years had she been so troubled.

Is it really him?

After following him for so many years, now that she was no longer of use, was he really planning to act against her?

Is it…really?

Baili Xia’s soft fingers lightly pressed on Wen Yu’s head, with just the right amount of pressure.

After a while, Wen Yu’s nerves finally relaxed, and her eyelids grew heavy.

Finally, she fell into a deep sleep.

Once Wen Yu’s breathing had completely steadied, Baili Xia stood up and walked out.

Returning to Sihai Residence, she immediately went to the study to find Uncle, but unexpectedly, he wasn’t there.

She hadn’t anticipated that as soon as his poison was neutralized, he went out again.

Could it be that Uncle wasn’t worried about those people at all?

Having been warned by Uncle, she didn’t dare to wander around without important matters, so she stayed in the room, peacefully reviewing her work.

…

Wen Yu slept for a long time, only gradually becoming aware of waking up in the evening.

In a daze, she dreamed that she was being pursued and killed.

“Don’t kill me, don’t…”

Suddenly, a car darted toward her.

This time, no one saved her, and she was hit and sent flying by the car.

Lying on the ground, she was almost immobile, her body was in pain, yet she wasn’t dead.

At this moment, Mu Xuri approached her in a wheelchair, pointing a gun at her.

Staring at the dark muzzle, she knew her life was at its end.

The despair made it hard to breathe, yet Mu Xuri didn’t pull the trigger.

Instead, he tossed a packet of poison at her, ordering her to eat it.

Malicious laughter came from Mu Xuri’s mouth, his voice sounding eerily strange.

“You know too many of my secrets. I can’t let you live any longer.”

“But I won’t let you die easily; I will make it so painful that you wish you were dead.”

Sweat dotted Wen Yu’s forehead, soaking her clothes and the bedding.

“Swallow it,” came the cold voice from above.

Under duress, she had no choice but to swallow the packet of poison.

The stomach pain quickly spread throughout her body, and the aura of death enveloped her entirely.

It was as if something stuck in her throat was getting larger, making it impossible to breathe.

“No, no…”

Finally, she awoke with a start, sitting up in bed.

Her face and forehead were covered in cold sweat when she got up.

Looking around the room, it was pitch dark.

She didn’t know what time it was. Night had fallen, and Baili Xia was long gone from the room.

The nightmare had felt so real that she dared not stay in this dark space.

Wen Yu hurriedly climbed out of bed, not bothering to change her soaked clothes, and dashed out the door.

She was so afraid, terrified that she wouldn’t survive the next minute here.

Everything suddenly became clear to her; the car accident during the day was surely arranged by Mu Xuri.

She finally understood why he had her do something seemingly unrelated, and why the driver had suddenly left.

It was nothing but a meticulously designed conspiracy to have her die unexpectedly outside!
