Chapter 753: Uncle did you offend someone_1

At this point, Baili Xia was already with Mu Xiaojiu.

She had just received a call from Uncle, and while she was still leisurely enjoying her dessert, she had to drop everything and immediately hurry over.

Now, they had driven far from the bustling streets and were gradually heading towards a remote suburb.

Perhaps she had suffered too much by his side, but seeing the car heading in an abnormal direction, Baili Xia couldn’t help but feel a little hair-raising fear.

Anxious, she had no idea where he was taking her.

“Why so nervous?” Suddenly, the man beside her who was still engrossed in his work asked.

“Nothing, I’m not nervous!” She rebuked immediately, feeling a bit guilty, “I…

why should I be nervous?”

“Do you want to know where we’re going?” Mu Xiaojiu asked, he had barely looked up from his laptop since they got in the car.

Baili Xia had been with him for a while now, and during the one or two hours Uncle was in a meeting, more than a dozen documents were brought in by his secretary alone.

Not to mention the other computer he was using had a slew of new emails popping in.

Maybe he doesn’t need to handle all of them, but at least half, right?

Even if it was just half, it would take the average person all day and night.

Is Uncle dealing with these emails now?

Baili Xia glanced at his laptop screen which was filled with dense English text.

At a glance, many were data tables and the like…

She rubbed her temples and faintly replied, “Are we going to meet a business partner?”

If Uncle is this busy, he must have arranged a meeting in the suburbs late at night.

Otherwise, would he take her for a joyride?

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, but refocused on his work.

In the front, Ye Hua was also silent, just quietly driving the car.

The car quickly entered a mountain road.

The initial condition of the road was good, but the further they went, the road became rugged.

Ye Hua glanced at Mu Xiaojiu through the rearview mirror, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, there is a bit of a situation up ahead, we need to take this road.”

“Hmm,” replied Mu Xiaojiu casually, his gaze never leaving his laptop.

Baili Xia, on hearing the words “a situation”, inexplicably started feeling uneasy.

What does “a situation” mean?

Could it be that those assassins are still after Uncle?

“Uncle…” After hesitating for quite a while, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, have you offended anyone?”

Otherwise, why would those assassins keep pursuing him?

From the assassination attempts recently, it’s apparent they’re like mad dogs, who once they get a bite, never let go.

“Uncle…” she looked at him, the anxiety in her eyes growing stronger.

The fingers of Mu Xiaojiu on the keyboard slowed.

Finally, he closed the laptop, put it aside, and pulled her into his arm, placing her on his lap.

this time, she wasn’t straddling him, just sitting sideways.

It wasn’t flirtatious, but rather very warm.

“Recently, a force has been trying to invade Jin City, not only by military seize but also economic takeover.” he said, as he brought her fingers to his lips for a light nibble.

The slight pain at her fingertips made Baili Xia shiver.

Uncle seems to have developed a habit of nibbling on her fingers of late, she wondered what taste her fingers could possibly have to fascinate him so much.

However, his words just gave her something new to ponder over.

“With the Eight Big Families in Jin City, it won’t be easy for them to economically invade, right?”
