Chapter 366 Chaos
It's a mess, a complete mess.
At that moment, it seemed that everyone around me was a suspect.
In her previous life, she would have already died by this time.
So it's completely unknown whether anything like what we're seeing happened after she died.
Mu Xiaoyu believed that she had been reborn and could see things very clearly and take them in stride.
But now it seems that what she went through back then is nothing compared to what she is going through now.
The mystery is now layered upon layer, and all the conspiracies have only just begun to surface. Before they can even fully understand one conspiracy, another one emerges.
With all these things combined, Mu Xiaoyu was exhausted and powerless, let alone Li Chenxu, who was at the center of the vortex.
"Don't overthink it. Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Before coming here, I had considered countless possibilities. Although what's happening now is somewhat beyond my initial expectations, it's not the worst outcome."
Seeing the expression on Mu Xiaoyu's face, Li Chenxu comforted her.
After saying that, he took out his phone and sent text messages to several of his most trusted bodyguards. Several of them went unanswered until finally one responded.
However, this response was not a good thing for Mu Xiaoyu and the others.
“The food we ate last night was drugged, and now they’ve all been tied up.”
The person who sent the message to Li Chenxu happened to be unaccustomed to the local food, so they didn't eat what the old man had prepared, but instead ate what they had brought themselves, and therefore didn't have any Chinese medicine.
Even so, the other side outnumbered them by a great deal, so in order not to alert them, they temporarily pretended to be under someone else's control.
However, they were not familiar with the environment of Mu Xiaoyu's hometown, and they did not know where they were at the moment.
"But why did they tie up the bodyguards, yet we're all fine now?"
Mu Xiaoyu was much calmer now. After hearing Li Chenxu's words, she remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking.
Li Chenxu shook his head, thought for a moment, looked into the now empty courtyard, and finally lowered his voice to continue, "Let's stay inside for now and see what those people are up to, and then we'll make our move when the time is right."
Although both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu now have some suspicions about the Bai family, neither of them will draw any conclusions before things reach their final stage. Currently, the bodyguards Mu Xiaoyu and his group brought are basically under the control of those people.
In that case, they will most likely target Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu as well. However, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu currently have no idea what the other side intends to do or what they want to do to them, so they can only wait.
After speaking, Li Chenxu carefully led Mu Xiaoyu back into the house. Once inside, they locked the door again, and then Li Chenxu released Mu Xiaoyu and carefully observed the surroundings.
The room they were staying in wasn't big, but it was cluttered with miscellaneous items and looked messy. In the far corner of the room was a window that looked like it was made of paper. Li Chenxu stared at the window for a few seconds, then quietly walked to it and opened it.
As soon as they opened the window, they were greeted by a hillside blocking their view, completely obstructing Li Chenxu and the others' view.
Fortunately, there are some gaps between the hillside and the window, enough to accommodate one or two people.
Li Chenxu stared at the window for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing Li Chenxu's expression, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but walk over.
"Brother Shenxu?"
"Xiaoyu, you might have to make do with this for a while."
Mu Xiaoyu had just opened her mouth and hadn't even had a chance to say anything when she heard Li Chenxu speak. She was stunned and looked at Li Chenxu with confusion.
“It’s not safe inside. We don’t know what will happen later. You should stay outside the window. There’s a hillside outside, which will block others from seeing you. Before I woke you up, I texted my people. They should be able to get here in a few hours.”
Li Chenxu's voice was deep, as if it carried a sense of determination to burn one's bridges.
At first, Mu Xiaoyu was a little confused by Li Chenxu's words and didn't quite understand what he was talking about. But after hearing the rest and seeing the view outside the window, she immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant.
They had no idea what awaited them. If they left without investigating anything, it might not be a big deal. The key was that they had to figure out some things thoroughly.
Since that's the case, someone has to take the risk, and no matter what, Li Chenxu would never let Mu Xiaoyu take it.
"no!"
Mu Xiaoyu refused without even thinking. If Li Chenxu was alright this time, that would be fine, but if something happened, Mu Xiaoyu would never forgive herself.
She'd already died several times already, so she wasn't afraid of life and death at all. Either she and Li Chenxu would avoid such situations, or they would face them together.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, cupped Li Chenxu's face in her hands, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. Then, she looked at Li Chenxu with her clear eyes and said, word by word, "Brother Chenxu, you should know how important you are to me. Right now, in this world, you and Mother are the people I care about most. If you get hurt in the slightest, it's like cutting myself with a knife."
Having said that, looking at Li Chenxu's tightly pursed lips, Mu Xiaoyu paused, and after a few seconds said, "So, no matter what happens, I hope we can face it together. I hope you will never abandon me, okay?"
Mu Xiaoyu looked so pitiful. As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes turned red. If she hadn't been deliberately suppressing her voice for fear of alerting the enemy, she probably would have burst into tears at home by now.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's eyebrows and eyes, and finally said with a smile, "Okay, then let's hide together. After all, our lives are more important. We should hide as much as possible before our people arrive."
Given Li Chenxu's personality, he's not the type to cower in the dark, but in this situation, he doesn't quite qualify.
So Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu said no more, and the two of them climbed out of the window and hid in the gap between the window and the hillside.
After all, it was in the mountains and outside, so the environment wasn't good. However, Li Chenxu covered Mu Xiaoyu with his coat, which protected her from most of the insect bites.
