Chapter 2254

So fond of watching…

These words from Uncle were directed at him. He had known all along that he was standing outside.

To be called out like this, even Mu Xiaoyao felt a bit embarrassed.

“No, no need.” He quickly responded.

He raised his hand to gently wipe his forehead. With just one sentence from Uncle, a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Baili Xia knew what the two were talking about, and her face had already turned crimson.

The atmosphere was unbearably awkward.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t linger and had already stepped out of the room with large strides.

Baili Xia stole a glance at Mu Xiaoyao. Seeing him compose himself, she followed suit.

It was only then that she let out a sigh of relief and quickly caught up with them.

Before she reached downstairs, Baili Xia saw quite a few people standing in the middle of the hall from the staircase.

Long Ting stood at the forefront, his expression solemn, like a statue.

On either side behind him, a few brothers stood lined up in two rows.

And behind him, two people were kneeling.

They hung their heads, their bodies trembling slightly, clearly terrified.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu come down, the brothers in the hall immediately echoed together, “Mr. Xiaojiu.”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded and went to sit on the sofa.

The people behind Long Ting heard the sound, and only then did they slowly lift their heads to glance over.

With just one look, she was stunned.

This man, like a deity, was dazzling.

That face, unforgettable for a lifetime, incredibly handsome.

This is indeed Mr. Xiaojiu, as handsome as the legends say.

Beside him stood a slightly younger man, no less impressive.

Hu Xuefei had also once seen a very handsome face, but compared to these two men, it was slightly inferior.

She wanted to ask if the Mu Group had genes that made people handsome, why are they all so unforgettable.

But seeing Mr. Mu Lingchuan led to her being caught here today.

Forced by these rough men to kneel on the ground for nearly an hour, no one came to attend to them.

Until now, she still didn’t know what exactly happened.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, today’s several assassins snuck in with them.”

Long Ting’s voice boomed as he loudly reported to Mu Xiaojiu.

Finding these people, at least slightly made amends for his mistake.

Hearing the word “assassin,” Hu Xuefei was instantly shocked.

Though she often frequents chaotic places, she never dared to imagine being involved with assassins.

Panicking, she quickly defended herself, “What assassins? Mr. Xiaojiu, I know nothing about it.”

She had long heard of Mr. Xiaojiu’s power.

If entangled with the assassins trying to kill Mr. Xiaojiu, she knew what the outcome would be.

Next to her, Wang, terrified and scattered, also pleaded, “I don’t know anything either, please let me go.”

Mu Xiaojiu glanced coldly at the two kneeling people.

He didn’t speak because until Long Ting explained the ins and outs, there was no need to waste time with two women.

Long Ting spoke, “They are the bridal company for Mr. Mu Lingchuan’s wedding, and also responsible for makeup and photography.”

“When we re-examined entry and exit records, we found that among the people who came with them, three were missing.”

“Comparing the photos, they were the three who died.”

Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows; the identities matched, confirming the investigation was accurate.

These two women had brought the assassins into the Mu Mansion, and because of them, the girl almost lost her life.

A chill slowly emanated from him, his gaze falling on Hu Xuefei, a hint of danger flashing in his eyes.
