Chapter 2200

“Nothing? This address used to be a property of the Shentu Family.”

Mu Xiaojiu said calmly, his face regaining its composure.

“The Shentu Family?” Hearing the name Shentu, Baili Xia’s first impression was of those two terrifying masters, Shentu Sheng and Shentu Lan.

It wasn’t just because of their exceptional skills; their physique also left a deep impression on her.

With those builds, even Brother, who was so skilled, had a hard time beating them back then.

“Uncle, is it possible that setting up the funeral hall there is targeting you?”

Baili Xia was worried that the arrangement would be unfavorable for Uncle.

The location was remote, and if someone were to ambush Uncle there, it could easily succeed.

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head, his deep eyes gazing into the distance.

Tomorrow’s funeral will be attended by many from the Mu family, so those who want to target him wouldn’t choose that day to act.

“It’s fine. Tomorrow, we can just go together.”

Baili Xia nodded, then added, “Something else happened today. Master caught Ning Anran eavesdropping on us at the medical room.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers, resting on his knee, moved slightly as he asked, “What did she hear?”

Ning Anran getting caught eavesdropping wasn’t a big deal, just punish her a bit.

But for this girl to bring it up, the key wasn’t the act of eavesdropping, but the content that was overheard.

“She probably overheard Ye Hua and I talking. We were discussing that Xiaoxiao would wake up in the next couple of days.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s expression turned noticeably grim, his dark eyes unfathomable.

Although it’s unclear whether Ning Anran is connected to those who harmed Xiaoxiao, the fact is that caution is necessary over the coming days.

He thought for a moment and said, “I’ll have Ye Ying arrange a few more brothers to guard the medical room.”

“Yes, but I’m still afraid…”

“Afraid of what?”

Baili Xia hesitated, knowing some things would be hard for Uncle to hear.

“Go ahead.” Mu Xiaojiu seemed to guess what she wanted to say.

With more and more incidents, he understood his third brother better, and he wasn’t concerned about hearing anything more.

“I’m afraid that on Big Brother’s wedding day, they will act.”

Baili Xia didn’t want to say this, but she suspected Ning Anran would definitely report back to Mu Xuri.

Given her suspicion that Xiaoxiao’s incident was connected to Mu Xuri and Tian, the wedding day would be the best opportunity to target Xiaoxiao again.

Because on that day, many outsiders would come to the Mu family.

It’s difficult to screen each person’s identity one by one.

Mu Xiaojiu furrowed his brows tightly, not responding for a long time.

Though it’s all speculation, the timing of Xiaoxiao’s awakening cannot be taken lightly.

Furthermore, if they act against Xiaoxiao on the wedding day, it would inevitably have severe implications for the Mu Group.

Is that person really the third brother? Would he disregard the reputation of the Mu Group to such lengths?

Baili Xia also understood his predicament. It’s hard to doubt a person one has respected for twenty years.

But aren’t the facts progressively proving that the one he respects doesn’t deserve it at all?

Uncle… will also see his true colors, won’t he?

“Uncle, let’s just try our best with security first.”

Baili Xia knew that Uncle’s feelings were not something that could be easily calmed.

Looking at him, she gently said, “If they really come, there’s no hiding.”

Mu Xiaojiu glanced up at her but said nothing more.
