Chapter 238: Behave Don't Move 51_1

Ning Anran, such a character, Mu Xiaojiu naturally wouldn’t remember.

However, anyone who gets entangled with Baili Xia will probably leave a deeper impression.

“I checked into this Ning Anran, there’s no significant background.”

Ye Hua was still reporting all the information to him as he looked at him.

“Before Miss Xiaxia was adopted, she and Ning Anran spent time in the same orphanage.”

“They were later adopted into different average families, who were from the same place, and have been classmates since primary school.”

Before Mr.

Xiaojiu could respond, Ye Hua, after a moment’s hesitation, stated his own view.

“Although it seems now that Dongfang Ji is the prime suspect, Mr.

Xiaojiu, Dongfang Ji wouldn’t be so foolish as to make a move against you in such a place.”

“So?” Mu Xiaojiu gave him a casual glance.

That look was so indifferent, yet it exerted immense pressure.

Ye Hua felt a series of chills running up his back, freezing him to the core.

Knowing that Mr.

Xiaojiu wouldn’t like what he was about to say, he spoke anyway.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, apart from Dongfang Ji, the most likely and most opportuned to make a move would be Ning Anran…

and Miss Xiaxia.”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, his gaze not landing on him, his expression indifferent.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, regardless of your opinion of Baili Xia, at least, Ye Hua’s words make sense.”

Leng Yu took a half step forward, staring straight at him, her face determined.

“If the poison were in the cake, perhaps there would be many suspects, but Xu has inspected thoroughly, the poison was indeed on the napkin.”

This point had been troubling her.

“Apart from Baili Xia, no one else could control whether Mr.

Xiaojiu uses the napkin or not!”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, but gave Nangong Xu a glance.

Nangong Xu immediately refilled a cup of warm water for him.

Though Mr.

Xiaojiu had awoken, his body was still incredibly feeble.

Having been poisoned so severely, it was a good thing he had woken up.

To handle matters at this point, however, was quite tormenting for him.

Ye Hua and Leng Yu just observed that Mr.

Xiaojiu’s complexion wasn’t bad, thinking he had recovered.

However, Nangong Xu was a medical professional who could tell the true condition of Mr.

Xiaojiu just by a glance.

“Let’s discuss this matter when Mr.

Xiaojiu’s health improves in a few days.”

He glanced back at Ye Hua and Leng Yu, his voice a few pitches lower: “It’s very late now.”

Ye Hua and Leng Yu immediately got the hint; he was implying that Mr.

Xiaojiu needed rest.

No one had intended to disturb Mr.

Xiaojiu with reports at this time and interrupt his rest.

Only when they saw that Mr.

Xiaojiu had seemingly recuperated a lot did they muster the courage to talk about Baili Xia.

At this moment, they still held strong opinions about Baili Xia.

“Well, Mr.

Xiaojiu, we’ll leave now.

Get some good rest.”

The two eventually left, returning peace to Mu Xiaojiu.

Just as the door was shut, the man in bed suddenly turned pale.

Opening his mouth, a gush of black blood squirted out.

Nangong Xu had seemingly anticipated this, swiftly catching the ejection with a towel from the side.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, your poison is yet to be cleared, don’t push yourself.”

“Help me lie down.” Mu Xiaojiu ignored his words and said calmly.

With Ye Hua and Leng Yu gone, his face grew even paler.

The toughness displayed earlier was all an act.

In fact, his condition was really bad.

Nangong Xu helped him lie down, but couldn’t help complaining.

“With such severe injuries, why did you still put on a show in front of Ye Hua and Leng Yu?”
