Chapter 2312

Ye Zi looked up at him, surprise in her eyes.

“Another examination?”

Nangong Xu did not answer, already off to fetch the equipment.

Before long, he returned to the bedside with the equipment.

Ye Zi allowed him to connect the tubes to her body, her head, just lay quietly.

Once the machine began to operate, Nangong Xu’s gaze fell on the screen, refusing to move even an inch.

After a while, his brow slowly furrowed.

Baili Xia detected something amiss and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Even Ye Zi felt uneasy, her gaze tightly fixed on Nangong Xu.

Nangong Xu did not speak, finished the examination, and tidied up all the equipment.

Once it was all done, he returned, looking mildly at Baili Xia.

“Her brainwaves are very chaotic right now, but she doesn’t seem to show any other symptoms.”

“Don’t know if it’s because of this medicine.”

“I’ve already taken sample data. Later, I’ll come back and do another examination to compare.”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, her heart instinctively worried for Ye Zi.

“Brother You said that medicine wouldn’t have side effects.”

Nangong Xu nodded, since Bei Tianyou said so, there shouldn’t be a problem.

But the current symptoms, how did they come about; he was uncertain.

“Wait until we’ve done another examination, then we’ll see.”

As soon as his words fell, his phone suddenly rang.

Nangong Xu took out his phone to check, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He connected the call, speaking calmly, “Mr. Xiaojiu…”

…

In the outskirts of Jin City, within a dilapidated building.

A group of people dressed in black combat attire surrounded this area.

On the first floor of the large building, a few people stood in the middle.

On the ground among them lay a person—no, it should be said a corpse.

Nangong Xu walked over, crouched down, and took hold of the person’s wrist.

He turned back to Mu Xiaojiu and shook his head.

“Already dead.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingertips slightly twitched, a tinge of complexity flowed in his eyes.

The third brother he had most respected since childhood turned out to be his father’s killer.

In his mind, he had imagined countless scenarios of breaking ties with the third brother, never thinking the last sight would be his corpse.

Hadn’t even engaged directly, yet he had already, in a way, declared his own failure.

Perhaps his death was for the best; fighting life and death with someone he considered family would hurt no matter the outcome.

But ultimately, he was his father’s killer, the pain would last only for an instant.

Yet those people had reached such a bloodthirsty level!

Jin City could not allow them to run rampant!

Cold, chilling coldness seeped from Mu Xiaojiu.

In this spacious building, one could easily sense his anger.

Nangong Xu’s heart tightened, he opened Mu Xuri’s clothing for a careful inspection.

At Sihai Residence, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly received a text message.

A message from an unfamiliar number read: “Retrieve body in north suburb…”

A simple four-word message, with no additional information.

He inexplicably felt that the corpse was Mu Xuri’s.

Without much thought, he dialed back to that number.

As expected, it was turned off.

Mu Xiaojiu immediately mobilized Wolf Territory’s personnel in the northern suburbs to search all possible locations.

Sure enough, it was found hours later in this deserted building.

Mu Xuri’s death at whose hands required no guessing; it was done by that mysterious organization.

Now Mu Xuri held no value to them.

Being killed was only logical.
