Chapter 2296

“Miss Xiaxia, don’t waste words with her. Let me take her to the dungeon and let the brothers deal with her.”

Yu Le couldn’t stand it anymore; how shameless could this woman be?

She is too narcissistic; how could Mr. Xiaojiu ever fancy such a woman?

Baili Xia nodded lightly; Ning Anran indeed needed a lesson.

“Take her away! But I’d like you to do me a favor.”

“…”

Ning Anran was taken away, crying and cursing Baili Xia loudly as she left.

Watching her departing silhouette, Baili Xia felt mixed emotions.

Once such good friends, now it has come to this.

She stared in the direction Ning Anran left, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

Baili Xia had a vague feeling that what Ning Anran said earlier might be true, but for some reason, Uncle paid no heed.

Could it be that these events had indeed occurred?

Thinking of this, her heart tightened, and she quickly rose to chase towards the backyard.

When she arrived at the backyard, Yu Le was already out of the dungeon.

Seeing Baili Xia, he approached.

“Miss Xiaxia, why did you follow?”

“I was wondering if what Ning Anran said was true just now?”

She knew Uncle had a base, and Yu Le was the team leader there; if there was a situation, he would likely know.

Sure enough, Yu Le nodded, saying, “It’s true, but unfortunately, it’s too late now.”

“Is Uncle okay?”

Baili Xia felt a sudden rush of nervousness; those black-clad men were terrifyingly strong.

Recalling the last battle, she felt fearful.

Yu Le chuckled softly and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Xiaojiu went there personally; how could anything happen?”

“The situation has been calmed, but Mr. Xiaojiu still has some follow-up work to do, so he hasn’t returned yet.”

Previously, he was also worried, the base had never been attacked on such a scale.

But he just received news that those who attacked the base were completely wiped out.

Only then did Baili Xia breathe a sigh of relief; the weight in her heart was finally lifted.

She looked at Yu Le and softly said, “Remember what you promised me.”

After Yu Le nodded, she moved towards the medical room.

…

Ning Anran was thrown into a secret room, and Yu Le left.

In the dark and eerie chamber, the walls were cold.

She had been imprisoned once before and was beaten badly.

This time, who knows what kind of punishment awaited her?

Although Mr. Xiaojiu had said she would be thrown into the sea, she couldn’t truly believe it.

Mr. Xiaojiu must have been deceived by Baili Xia to say such heartless words.

Suddenly, a faint moan came from beside the secret room.

“Hmm… hmm…”

Ning Anran immediately walked to the railing, peering out.

She couldn’t see where the sound was coming from or who was making it.

In such a frightening environment, hearing this sound undoubtedly added to her psychological stress.

“Who is it? Who’s there?” she called into the darkness.

“Help me, please… help me.”

The voice rang out again, its owner evidently extremely weak.

Confirming someone was locked in the adjacent chamber, Ning Anran felt a bit relieved.

She moved to the wall, separated only by a wall from the other person.

“Who are you? How did you get here?”

“I’m innocent; I really didn’t know those people were assassins.”

Hu Xuefei, dazed, didn’t answer Ning Anran’s question.

Ning Anran’s heart was filled with suspicion; assassins? Who really was this woman?

She asked, “Who exactly are you?”
