Chapter 436 Let it go
Bai Ye has already said this much. If Grandpa Li still doesn't reveal the truth about kidnapping Mu Xiaoyu, then his fate is predictable.
However, if I were to actually say it, wouldn't that be like contradicting myself?
For a moment, Old Master Li was caught in a dilemma, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly.
He had already seen Mu Xiaoyu and knew all too well about her current injuries. The longer Mu Xiaoyu stayed inside, the more damage would be done to her body.
In Li Chenxu's view, Mu Xiaoyu cannot afford to waste even a second right now.
So he didn't want to give Old Master Li any time to think, and seeing this, he went straight to the point: "Dad, you didn't really tie up Mu Xiaoyu, did you? What would you do with her?"
Li Chenxu's tone was anxious yet resolute, but it didn't seem like he cared about Mu Xiaoyu at all. In fact, it looked like he was afraid of being implicated because of what Old Master Li had done.
Grandpa Li couldn't help but glare at Li Chenxu, but then looked at Bai Ye, who had a serious expression, and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, it's just a little family matter, so we invited that girl Mu Xiaoyu over. It's nothing, we'll release her now."
That's what they said, but they had no intention of opening the door at all.
Bai Ye had been listening to Old Master Li's words. After he finished speaking, Bai Ye suddenly sneered and looked at Old Master Li with a half-smile, saying, "Since you say so, then let's release him now. Although I am quite familiar with Shen Xu, this matter is, after all, official business. If Mu Xiaoyu is not released, then I will have a hard time explaining to the bureau."
Having come this far, Bai Ye's attitude is quite clear. If Old Master Li doesn't release Mu Xiaoyu, Bai Ye has no chance of letting go.
Old Master Li hadn't expected Bai Ye to be so stubborn, and his gaze towards Bai Ye changed for a moment. He tightened his grip on his cane, and just when Bai Ye thought Old Master Li still wouldn't agree, Old Master Li finally spoke: "Since Mr. Bai has said so, I will definitely release her... Guards, release that girl Mu Xiaoyu..."
Mu Xiaoyu woke up in the basement but only lasted a few minutes before fainting again. However, before she passed out this time, she seemed to hear several familiar voices again. She tried hard to hear who was speaking, but her head was throbbing so badly that she couldn't hear clearly and passed out completely.
When Mu Xiaoyu woke up again, she was lying on a soft hospital bed. All she could see was pure white, and the pain in her body made her almost think she was going to die.
Mu Xiaoyu stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, unable to come to her senses.
"Miss Mu, you're awake? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Just then, Bai Ye's voice suddenly came from beside her. Mu Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Bai Ye standing next to her, his usually stern face now showing a tension and worry she had never seen before.
This appearance doesn't seem like an act at all.
Could it be that Bai Ye really likes her?
Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't believe it. She stared blankly at Bai Ye for a long while before finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "How did I get here... Did you save me?"
Bai Ye wasn't someone who wanted to take credit, but in the current situation, no matter who knew that it was Li Chenxu's doing that Mu Xiaoyu was rescued, it wouldn't benefit anyone.
So after hesitating for a few seconds, Bai Ye nodded and said, "I went to look for you this morning, and then I found your front door wide open..."
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little lost for some reason.
If she remembered correctly, when she was dizzy in the basement, she seemed to hear Li Chenxu's voice. Actually, she had hoped that Li Chenxu had come to save her, but now it seemed that it was just her hallucination.
Looking back now, it still seems a bit ridiculous. Before, whenever something happened to her, the first person to appear in front of her was always Li Chenxu. But now, the person by her side has changed; it's no longer Li Chenxu, but someone else.
Was God reminding her to stop having any illusions about Li Chenxu?
Mu Xiaoyu was unaware that her mind was in complete chaos, both aching and confused.
At least for now, she doesn't want to think about Li Chenxu at all.
She reached out to rub her temples, but at that moment, a pair of calloused hands gently began to massage her temples.
Mu Xiaoyu glanced over instinctively and saw Bai Ye bending over, massaging her.
If she weren't experiencing it right now, Mu Xiaoyu would never have believed that someone like Bai Ye would do such a thing.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Ye with some hesitation, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Ever since learning that Bai Ye and his family had targeted Li Chenxu and his group, all the trust she had previously placed in Bai Ye vanished. She no longer believed any of the affection he had previously shown her.
But now, Mu Xiaoyu herself suddenly began to waver.
She wasn't some naive young girl; she could tell whether someone was truly sincere towards her. Take Bai Ye, for example. He could pretend to like someone, pretend to be deeply in love with someone, but the tenderness and affection that inadvertently showed in his eyes were impossible to fake.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh.
If Bai Ye's feelings for her were genuine, Mu Xiaoyu would rather he didn't like her. That way, their interactions wouldn't be awkward.
After all, just like what she had said to Song Yin before, regardless of whether the matter between Li Chenxu and Bai Luo was true or false, she still felt that she should help Li Chenxu and do what she could within her ability.
But now that Bai Ye is like this, if she acts according to her previous ideas, it will only make things more complicated.
"Don't let what Old Master Li did go unpunished this time. I will find a way to give you justice."
Bai Ye didn't know what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking. Seeing her so silent, he assumed she was still thinking about things at the Li family, so he offered her some words of comfort.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at Bai Ye and immediately shook her head: "It's enough that I'm out now. Since you rescued me today, the Li family probably won't be so quick to harm me in the future... Let's just forget about what happened before."
