Chapter 2236

Nangong Xu’s gaze deepened, and he immediately turned away: “Turn back!”

It was only then Baili Xia realized she was almost exposed, so frightened she hurriedly scrambled to fix her clothes.

The movement was too big, pulling at her wound, and she immediately grimaced in pain.

A medical robe was draped over her from the front.

Nangong Xu sat back behind her, gently tying the robe’s belt for her.

“Sit still, don’t move anymore, I won’t take responsibility for secondary injuries.”

Baili Xia exhaled, this robe at least made her feel much safer.

However, when Nangong Xu started applying medicine for her, her mischievous nature couldn’t help but come out.

“Master, didn’t you say that in a doctor’s eyes, there are only patients, no distinction between genders?”

“Since there’s no distinction between genders, why did you yell at me so loudly just now, are you trying to scare someone to death?”

Nangong Xu glanced at her helplessly: “Want to take off all your clothes then? It would be more convenient for me.”

“…” She shrank her neck. “I was wrong, okay?”

“You’ve been injured so just keep quiet and save some energy to fight the bacteria.”

Nangong Xu really wanted to raise his hand and knock it against her forehead.

Injured like this and still in the mood for jokes, this little rascal!

“Anyway, I’ll leave Tian’s matter to you, say a few good words to Uncle, at least…”

Baili Xia pressed her lips together, her voice lowered a bit: “At least don’t use too severe a punishment.”

“What do you take Mr. Xiaojiu for?” Nangong Xu chuckled.

Though Mr. Xiaojiu indeed does things without much compassion.

However, knowing Tian might be Baili Xia’s former friend, presumably the punishment wouldn’t be too cruel.

“Anyway, Master must help.”

While dressing, she kept glancing at him.

Nangong Xu was completely at a loss with her; naturally, he didn’t like to waste words: “Okay.”

Baili Xia nodded, finally fastening the last button: “I’ll go check on Uncle.”

“Hmm.”

…

Leaving the medical room, Baili Xia headed straight towards the Sihai Residence hall.

Just upon reaching the hall, she happened to see Ye Ying returning.

Seeing Baili Xia, he immediately walked over quickly.

“Miss Xiaxia, how is my brother?”

As soon as he returned to Mu Mansion, he heard from the base brothers about Ye Hua being badly injured in the medical room, so he immediately came over.

Although both were long trained, well-prepared for injuries and even death.

But now hearing his brother was hurt, Ye Ying’s heart was still tightly gripped.

Baili Xia gently said: “He’s not in any mortal danger, my master is preparing for surgery.”

“Still needs surgery?”

Ye Ying didn’t feel relieved at all, instead became more anxious.

“It’s a rib fracture, it will heal after resting some time post-surgery.”

Injury of bones and muscles requires a hundred days of rest, once rested enough, the fracture will heal.

Ye Ying also understood this, finally easing a bit.

“How about Mr. Xiaojiu? Is he okay?”

Baili Xia’s eyes flashed with confusion, not understanding why Ye Ying asked this.

“Uncle is fine, he returned to his room after resolving the matters here.”

Ye Ying nodded, feeling gloomy inside.

“It’s all our fault for being incompetent, unable to protect Mr. Xiaojiu, otherwise how could he be harmed by those bastards?”

Baili Xia’s heart suddenly jolted, her eyes widened like big dark grapes.

“Uncle is injured?”

Just now, when fighting with that man in black, Uncle didn’t seem to have any problem at all.

How could he be injured? If he was injured, why did he still engage in a fight with that man in black?

But, she could somewhat guess why Uncle fought with that man.

“I’ll go see Uncle.”
