Chapter 402: Heart Hurts So Much 07_1

Baili Xia really didn’t know why she felt a need to call Uncle.

But she dialed his number the instant it crossed her mind.

It was kind of like a dependency, or maybe a habit.

Whenever she felt in danger, had trouble, she found herself instinctively wanting to reach out to him…

The phone had barely rung once before it was picked up.

Picked up so quickly, it was as though the receiver had been just waiting for her call.

Before Baili Xia could even face her surprise, Mu Xiaojiu’s magnetic voice echoed from the other end of the line.

“Little creature, what’s up?”

“Uncle…” As soon as she heard his voice, Baili Xia felt a knot in her nose, and tears formed.

She felt panicked, fully gripped by fear.

She had no idea what state Jin was in, or what would happen to herself.

If Guisu managed to catch her, what would he do with her?

She was really scared, because who isn’t afraid of dying?

“Xiaxia, what’s happened?

Are you crying?”

Hearing her breathy voice, Mu Xiaojiu immediately became worried.

“Where are you?

What happened?

Talk!”

“Uncle.” Baili Xia didn’t want to appear weak before Uncle, but right now, she really wanted to see him.

Deep down, she kept telling herself that as long as she saw Uncle, she would be safe, and so would Jin.

Just like a towering tree, Uncle would shield them all from the storm.

She sniffed, her voice hoarse as she said, “Uncle, I’m at the Dongfang Family residence, Lu Xuening and her people…

they’re trying to catch me…”

“Jin…

Jin has been knocked out…”

…

Guisu and the Dongfang Family bodyguards would soon reach the flowers where she was hiding.

Uncle said he would call Dongfang Ji and tell her not to make any rash moves.

But they had already reached her hiding spot and Baili Xia could not hide anymore.

As the crowd neared, even her hiding spot was no longer safe.

If she didn’t move now, she would surely be found.

Once she had securely pocketed her silver necklace and mobile, she silently started moving towards the main house.

However, just as she took a couple of steps, a security guard spotted her.

“She’s over there!” he shouted.

As soon as they heard the call, the others immediately rushed towards her location.

Guisu was at the front of the pack, with a mission to drug the girl.

In a while, when the Dongfang Family arrived, Baili Xia might have been already taken back and probably up to something in the room with the male servant.

He didn’t have a strong sense of right and wrong, as long as his mistress ordered him to do something, he’d do it to the best of his ability!

Baili Xia was especially fearful of this Guisu now; he was too fast and she simply couldn’t stand against him.

Seeing him charging towards her, she bolted, not daring to think of anything else and sprinted towards the main house.

She kept yelling as she ran, “Dongfang Ji, save me!

Someone wants to harm your brother, Dongfang…”

To her surprise, after she shouted a few times, Dongfang Ji’s large frame appeared in the entrance of the main hall.

Seeing him at this moment was like seeing a saviour.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Baili Xia sprinted towards him, “Dongfang Ji, help me!

They want to harm Jin!”

Guisu had already chased her down and was about to grab her.

Dongfang Ji took a couple of strides and sent a punch flying towards Guisu before he could touch her.

With a ‘pop’, their fists collided and then instantly parted.

Guisu was stunned and stepped back, and so did Dongfang Ji, with considerable force.
