Chapter 2163

Although the two of them had just experienced an awkward moment, these matters were very important; she had to quickly tell Uncle.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t look at her, still with eyes lowered in contemplation.

Mu Xiaoyao had mentioned this to him during the day.

If what Feng Gang said was true, it wasn’t impossible.

But, who can prove this?

Baili Xia also knew that now everything was just their speculation.

“Whether it is or not, there is always that possibility.”

“We can think about how we should verify that Uncle indeed plays with poison.”

Her eyes flashed, thinking of something.

“Perhaps, we can start with Mrs. Wen.”

“Something else happened today; I met Mrs. Wen outside, and she was almost hit by a car.”

“She suspects that it was Uncle’s deliberate arrangement.”

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at her and said indifferently, “In the future, don’t save people so casually.”

Baili Xia was a bit startled, knowing that the matter during the day had been reported to Uncle by that brother.

Her face flushed, and she instinctively lowered her head to look at the scratch marks on her hand.

Those marks were really very subtle, and by now were hardly visible.

She understood Uncle was worried about her safety, but it frustrated her that he ignored a crucial part.

“Got it, but the key is that she is already suspecting that Uncle intends to kill her.”

She paused briefly and continued, “Tonight, she went to the back mountain to find me and told me a lot.”

“I don’t know whether to believe her; she did look somewhat pitiable.”

“She said she wants to leave, but she fears that if she does, Uncle will immediately act against her. She said she wanted to meet you, wanting your help.”

“Maybe, if you meet her, you can get some useful information from her.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s dark eyes remained calm, saying nothing.

He was still hesitating whether he should go see Wen Yu.

If he met her, what should he do afterward?

Does he really have to immediately stand against his third brother?

If he doesn’t see her, how should this girl’s matter be resolved?

Baili Xia seemed to guess his thoughts and continued, “Uncle, she once had feelings for you; don’t you care about her safety?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze turned cold as he glanced at her.

What did it matter to him if others liked him? Should he be responsible for everyone who ever liked him?

Baili Xia also felt her words were not logical and hurriedly explained, “What I mean is, she did care for you at one time, and emotionally you shouldn’t just ignore her.”

“She might really be in danger now. If you don’t help her, I’m worried…”

She didn’t continue, because Uncle would understand without her saying more.

Mu Xiaojiu’s deep eyes faintly met Baili Xia’s gaze, as if trying to see through her.

“Do you really not mind me meeting her?” he asked calmly.

Baili Xia shook her head; she wasn’t petty enough to disregard Wen Yu’s safety.

Moreover, the nature of her current relationship with Uncle was undefined, so she wouldn’t say much.

Mu Xiaojiu gently exhaled a breath, his mood not particularly good.

This girl, deep down, still had a thorn.

The more she downplayed these matters, the more she actually cared. If that thorn wasn’t removed, perhaps they could never return to the past.

“Bring her over tomorrow morning.”

With that, he stood up.

He gave Baili Xia a long look and then turned to walk towards the door.

Baili Xia didn’t expect him to make a decision so quickly, and was slightly stunned as Mu Xiaojiu reached the door.

She gently opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out.
