Chapter 982: What Exactly is the Panic About

Tonight, Mu Xiaoyao had just finished his work.

Being idle and bored, he felt annoyed about the lie she told him last time to go on a date with Dongfang Jin.

That issue, until now, the knot in his heart had not been untied.

He wasn’t angry that she was with Dongfang Jin; he was angry that she lied to him.

He would have preferred her to say nothing at all, rather than to hear her lies.

But on further reflection, this girl had no need to do such a thing.

Even if she wanted to meet Dongfang Jin, there was no need to turn off her phone.

She wasn’t someone who broke her promises lightly; she had promised to return early to go home with him, so it wasn’t likely she would fail to keep her word.

Even if she didn’t return, wouldn’t she at least send him a message to explain?

Since he was utterly bored, he carefully reviewed the surveillance footage of that day and unexpectedly discovered that she had gone to the small hospital.

Thus, he also pulled up the medical records of the school hospital which matched the time she went for the checkup.

From the hospital’s surveillance and the medical reports he pulled, the group of girls all checked into the gynecology department.

He didn’t know which name was hers; there was one called Mu Xia, which he also noted.

However, none of this was important; the important part was that the group of girls all went to check whether they were pregnant.

Unfortunately, out of the five or six girls, except for one who was suspected of having another condition, the others’ results were all positive for pregnancy.

The girl with the other condition had a full name and address, making it easy to verify her identity, so she could be directly ruled out.

So, there was no need to sort through the remaining ones.

Since the symptoms were all the same; they were all pregnant.

The whole process, while not complicated, was also not simple.

Without high expertise in computers, it would have been impossible.

When he briefly explained it to Baili Xia, she was so shocked that she felt utterly cold.

She hadn’t realized that hackers existed in this world; no, she knew, but it just hadn’t occurred to her.

And her brother, using his hacking skills, had unearthed every bit of her secret.

In front of him, she felt as if she was completely without clothes, stark naked, everything seen very clearly and plainly by him.

Finally, she grabbed his hand tightly, her eyes red with agitation.

“Please, don’t tell Uncle, Brother, I beg you, please agree to this.”

“How can I not tell him about something this serious?”

It was only because he knew she was pregnant that he rushed to see her, fearing that she might encounter an accident alone in the back mountain.

At this moment, he might have already been at Sihai Residence, reporting the matter to Uncle.

But Baili Xia still held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with urgency and a tint of panic.

“Don’t tell him, I beg you, the child, the child isn’t his.”

“You only have Uncle as a man; if the child isn’t his, then whose could it be?”

Mu Xiaoyao frowned; she could even utter such a lie that the child wasn’t Uncle’s—what exactly was she afraid of?

Although, this child certainly wasn’t what Uncle had hoped for, he definitely wouldn’t have wanted her to get pregnant with his baby amidst such tense times, adding chaos.

But since the child was already on the way, this matter had to be faced eventually.

Uncle wasn’t irresponsible; he wouldn’t abandon his own child—what exactly was she panicking about?
