Chapter 2294

Baili Xia felt a sharp pain in her heart and couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, how is he?”

“It’s fine, there were some unexpected events, but they’ve been resolved.” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice still carried a hint of weary hoarseness.

Without even thinking, she knew he must have experienced a lot, putting in great effort and exertion.

Baili Xia’s five fingers holding the phone couldn’t help but tighten again.

She sincerely wished she were by his side now, fighting alongside him.

Instead of staying in so-called safe places, watching helplessly as the man sheds blood on the battlefield.

She could manage it; however, Uncle wouldn’t allow it.

“Well, Ning Anran is with me, she said there’s something important she needs to tell you, related to your safety.”

Baili Xia feared Uncle would hang up immediately upon hearing Ning Anran’s name, so she quickly explained her purpose.

There was a two-second silence on the other end before slowly saying, “Put her on the phone.”

Baili Xia nodded, pressed the speakerphone, and held the phone out to Ning Anran.

Ning Anran raised her hand, intending to take the phone.

Seeing Baili Xia’s warning expression, she had to withdraw her hand.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, this is An Ran.”

The other side was silent; even over the phone, a sense of chill seemed to be transmitted.

Ning Anran dared not delay further and quickly relayed what she overheard.

“Last night, I heard Mu Xuri on the phone with someone, saying he would send people to attack a certain base.”

“I believe he was talking about your place, so I came to notify you immediately.”

“In case you’re at that base, it might be best to hide quickly to avoid being…”

She didn’t finish because the silence on the other end seeped with endless coldness.

Even across the phone, it was palpable to her.

Ning Anran felt lost, looking up at Baili Xia.

She saw Baili Xia’s eyebrows tightly furrowed, evidently worried for Mr. Xiaojiu.

It seemed this base truly belonged to Mr. Xiaojiu, prompting him to value this information highly.

Determined, Ning Anran was about to speak again.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the other end.

“That’s all?” The voice sounded impatient.

Ning Anran’s heart tightened, hurriedly saying, “Yes, Mr. Xiaojiu, you need to quickly implement protective measures to avoid falling into his trap.”

Last night, Mu Xuri had violated her, filling her heart with hatred.

This morning, seeing Mr. Xiaojiu’s men aggressively heading to the main house, she guessed Mu Xuri and Mr. Xiaojiu were at odds, following Mu Xuri would bring no benefit.

She hurried to Sihai Residence to reveal her identity.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiaojiu was unmoved.

“Yu Le.” The cold voice called through the phone.

“Here.” Yu Le immediately stepped up to the phone, awaiting instructions.

“Lock her in the dungeon, handle her as you will, throw her into the sea to feed the fish tomorrow.”

The merciless voice came low, almost knocking Ning Anran off her feet.

She staggered slightly, eyes quickly filling with fear.

Thinking about that dungeon gave her an indescribable terror.

Especially being at the mercy of these men, having just been violated, she couldn’t help but imagine how they might torture her.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, why are you treating me this way? I came in good faith to report these matters to you.”

She steadied herself, lunging for the phone.

Baili Xia swung her hand, raising the phone, depriving her of the chance to snatch it.

Yu Le stepped forward, his large hand grabbing Ning Anran’s arm.

Like an iron clamp, his big hand swiftly immobilized her, leaving no chance for escape!
