Chapter 223: Behave Don't Move 36_1

“That is only a possibility.” Mu Xiaoyao looked at her indifferently.

However, he felt an inexplicable resentment towards her due to the harm she inflicted on Baili Xia.

So much so that he felt like tearing her apart.

But, he was well aware that Leng Yu’s loyalty towards Uncle was absolute.

She harmed Baili Xia only because during this incident, Baili Xia was indeed the most suspicious person.

His gaze went past Leng Yu and fell onto Ye Hua, his voice holding a few degrees of coldness.

“Inform me immediately if there’s any news.

As for Baili Xia, Uncle has asked me to personally protect her.

Come to me if you have any issues, but I won’t tolerate any involvement with her.”

Having said this, he helped Baili Xia up and turned to walk out of the hall.

Leng Yu stared at Baili Xia’s retreating figure, her anger manifested as redness seeping into her eyes and face.

Why was everyone protecting Baili Xia when she was clearly the perpetrator?

Don’t they care about Mr.

Xiaojiu at all?

The real culprit was right in front of them, and if they interrogated her severely, they would surely find the mastermind behind it all.

With such a great opportunity, no one seemed to understand the need to seize it.

How could she not be angry?

What were all these people, including Mr.

Mu, thinking?

If any misfortune befalls Mr.

Xiaojiu because of Baili Xia, she would tear Baili Xia apart with her own hands!

…

Just as they were about to leave the Sihai Residence, she had finally regained her breath after being kicked by Leng Yu.

Seeing the main entrance of the Sihai Residence in front of her, Panic welled up in her, causing her to push Mu Xiaoyao abruptly.

Caught off guard, Mu Xiaoyao did not counteract her push right away.

However, the soft grip that had been supporting her was let loose due to the force of the push.

Baili Xia hadn’t expected that her situation was so bad at this moment.

Without the support of Mu Xiaoyao’s firm hand, her legs gave way and she almost plummeted to her knees.

Mu Xiaoyao, with his quick reflexes, put a steadying hand around her just before she fell to the ground.

“What are you doing?” His thick brows knitted together, annoyance clear in his eyes.

Uncle was in such condition, and at such a moment, the situation was barely starting to stabilize.

He was already anxious to his core, and yet she was causing trouble with him, was it not enough that he was already troubled?

“I want to see Uncle.” This time, Baili Xia not daring to push him, instead grabbed the hem of his robe.

Looking up at him, her eyes were full of pleading.

“Tell me, how is Uncle now?

Brother, I beg you, tell me.”

He had just been up to the second floor earlier, he must know how Uncle was doing now.

It wasn’t that she was capricious, nor was it that she wanted to cause a fuss, she was just genuinely worried.

Uncle was poisoned, was he all right now, had the poison been detoxified?

Mu Xiaoyao was initially rather impatient, but seeing her struggling to hold back her tears, somehow softened his heart.

After all, she was just an innocent victim.

Everyone was suspecting her now but, in truth, how innocent was she?

Such a fragile little creature, how could she have the guts to harm Uncle?

Moreover, the worry in her eyes for Uncle was genuine, he could clearly see that.

He didn’t know why he believed her, but at this moment, he was really willing to trust her.

“The situation has stabilized a little, however, the poison has not been completely eliminated, and we don’t know when Uncle will regain consciousness.”

It was rare for Mu Xiaoyao to be willing to explain so much to her at once.

All because she looked like she was about to break down, yet was still trying to go back and visit Uncle.

“Nangong Xu said that the poison was administered so viciously this time that a portion of it remains in the body and cannot be completely removed.

Everything will depend on Uncle’s willpower.”
