Chapter 217: Behave Don't Move 30_1

“What is really wrong with Uncle?” As the conversation continues, Banner Xia grows increasingly anxious.

What exactly happened to Uncle?

Why was Brother saying that she had harmed Uncle?

“What is happening to him?”

Did his hurried departure have anything to do with Brother’s accusation against her now?

Did Uncle get injured again?

Was he attacked by someone on his way home?

Was it those assassins?

The uncertainty and uneasiness in her eyes were clear, even apprehension.

Mu Xiaoyao could see it.

He squinted his eyes, looking directly into hers.

If such uneasiness isn’t genuine, then her acting skills are good enough to even fool him.

“Brother, please tell me, what’s happened to Uncle?”

With a cold hum, Mu Xiaoyao ignored her and focused on the knife in her hands.

Only then did Baili Xia realize, swiftly placing the knife back onto the small coffee table.

She kept staring at his face.

“Brother, please tell me quickly…”

At that moment, Mu Xiaoyao’s phone rang.

It was only after answering the call and hearing that Nangong Xu had arrived that he let out a sigh of relief.

Only with the arrival of Nangong Xu could there be hope for Uncle’s poison to be cured.

However, he didn’t know how severe Uncle’s poisoning was, whether he would be safe or if there would be any after-effects?

Poison can either be a minor or major issue, what if even Nangong Xu couldn’t cure it?

His heart tensed up, and abruptly, he turned and headed out.

His phone was once again in hand as he dialed a number.

Once the call was connected, his voice was grave.

“I need some men, right now.”

“Yes, Boss.” Answered the other end.

Mu Xiaoyao immediately hung up the call.

He was already at the entrance, about to open the door.

However, the moment his fingertip touched the door handle, he stopped suddenly.

He turned back towards Baili Xia, who had stood up by now.

“Brother, can you tell me what happened to Uncle?”

Baili Xia was still afraid of him, afraid that he might suddenly hurt her.

But the conversation had left her in a muddle.

If no one reassured her about Uncle now, she would definitely remain restless.

What Mu Xiaoyao was thinking about wasn’t this, but, the assignment Uncle had given him.

From now on, he was to protect Xiaxia until he personally told him that the task was over.

Protect Xiaxia…even when Uncle was about to collapse, he was still thinking about this girl!

That was Uncle’s order.

Even though he disliked having a burden by his side…

His palm tightened slightly, and he suddenly gave a cold hum.

“Follow me, don’t talk nonsense, and don’t run around.

Otherwise, if anything happens to you, I won’t take responsibility.”

“Brother…” Baili Xia was even more confused now.

What was the situation now?

She saw Mu Xiaoyao open the front door and marched out.

She hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed.

“Brother, could you give me Uncle’s number?

Or Ye Hua’s would do too.”

Mu Xiaoyao’s footsteps slowed down slightly as he turned back to look at her.

“You don’t even have Uncle’s number?”

“He never gave it to me.

He always came to find me.”

Baili Xia shook her head.

Speaking of this, even she felt embarrassed.

But now, she urgently wanted to know how Uncle was doing.

She felt persistent unease, fear even.

The scene when he left kept surfacing in her mind.

Could it have been like before?

He was injured yet unwilling to tell her, stubbornly left?
