Chapter 365 All gone
Chapter 365 All gone
Chapter 365 is gone.
As Li Chenxu spoke, he paused for a few seconds, and the image of Bai Luo and Mu Xiaoyu spending time together flashed through his mind.
Having reached this point, although he can't see through everyone, he can still see through most people, especially those who have had contact with Mu Xiaoyu, whom he observes even more carefully.
Mu Xiaoyu was genuinely happy whenever she was with Song Yin and Bai Luo, something she never experienced when she was with other so-called friends.
Moreover, he could see that Bai Luo and Song Yin genuinely cared for Mu Xiaoyu.
“Xiaoyu, right now all the truth is shrouded in mystery. Although the Bai family is the most suspicious right now, even if that's the case, Bai Luo may not be involved. Think about it, in all this time, has Bai Luo ever done anything to harm you?”
Ever since she learned that the Bai family was likely a suspect, Mu Xiaoyu's mind had been in complete turmoil. She had never seriously considered what Li Chenxu was saying. Now, hearing Li Chenxu's words, she was stunned.
At this moment, scenes from when he was with Bai Luo flashed through his mind.
She bit her lip, then hugged Li Chenxu and said, "I understand, Brother Chenxu. No matter what, I won't doubt Luo Luo until the truth comes out, but I won't be as unguarded as before."
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu had come to her senses, Li Chenxu felt much better. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, saying softly, "Go to sleep. Only when you're well-rested will you have the energy to deal with other things."
"how about you?"
Mu Xiaoyu looked up at him and saw that Li Chenxu was clearly not planning to go to sleep.
Sure enough, Li Chenxu said, "To ensure our safety tonight, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep. But I'm not sleepy at all; I need to think about many things carefully when it's quiet at night."
Mu Xiaoyu understood what Li Chenxu meant. Hearing this, she gently hummed in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she leaned in and kissed Li Chenxu's lips again: "Then I'll go to sleep first. If you really can't stay awake, then go to sleep. We brought so many people with us this time. Besides, if something really happens, we'll definitely be able to hear the noise."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu said no more, leaned against Li Chenxu's chest, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
During her sleep, Mu Xiaoyu dreamed of Mu Pengzheng. She had thought she would never dream of him again, but even after he had been dead for so many days, she still dreamed of him.
For some reason, the Mu Pengzheng in her dream was completely different from the Mu Pengzheng in reality. The Mu Pengzheng in her dream had no trace of hostility, and looking at her eyes and brows, he was as gentle as an ordinary father.
He would speak to Mu Xiaoyu gently and give her careful instructions, as if he had become a completely different person.
Even in her dream, Mu Xiaoyu had to doubt whether this person was real.
"Xiaoyu, wake up!"
Mu Xiaoyu was dreaming that Mu Peng was cooking for her when she suddenly heard Li Chenxu's voice. She woke up groggily and saw that Li Chenxu had gotten out of bed at some point and was already dressed. Seeing that she was awake, he immediately went over to help the still groggy Mu Xiaoyu get dressed.
"What's wrong, Brother Shenxu?"
There's some noise outside.
Li Chenxu lowered his voice and said, not knowing what was happening outside or because of the dim light. Li Chenxu's expression looked very serious. Seeing Li Chenxu like this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately woke up.
She quickly took the clothes from Li Chenxu's hands and asked, "What happened?"
"I'll tell you slowly later, let's go out now."
Mu Xiaoyu knew this wasn't the time to talk, so she nodded, put on her clothes, and without even tidying herself up, carefully followed Li Chenxu out.
At this moment, it was completely quiet outside. Apart from the chirping of insects and the rustling of trees, which are unique to the countryside, almost no other sounds could be heard.
Mu Xiaoyu really couldn't imagine what could happen at this moment.
However, Li Chenxu was rarely this serious. Although Mu Xiaoyu didn't know what had happened, seeing Li Chenxu like this made her heart uneasy.
The two of them tiptoed out.
After leaving their room, they came to a rural ancestral hall. It was very large, but there was only an empty table inside. There were no lights, and once outside, Mu Xiaoyu even had a creepy feeling. At that moment, goosebumps rose all over her body.
She couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously moved closer to Li Chenxu beside her.
Li Chenxu sensed Mu Xiaoyu's movements and probably realized that Mu Xiaoyu was a little scared, so he tightened his grip on Mu Xiaoyu's hand.
"Don't be afraid."
Li Chenxu soothed Mu Xiaoyu in a low voice, his gentle and warm tone carrying a reassuring power that instantly calmed Mu Xiaoyu's heart.
Mu Xiaoyu gave a soft "hmm," and the two of them didn't say anything more, continuing to walk outside.
There was another room next to the ancestral hall. Last night, some of Li Chenxu's subordinates stayed here to protect Li Chenxu and his men in case of any unexpected situations.
But now, Mu Xiaoyu sees that there is no one left in this room.
Where did they go? And what exactly happened?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind, and a feeling of unease grew deeper and deeper.
More importantly, when they reached the door and looked outside, there wasn't a single bodyguard left!
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu could no longer hold back and asked Li Chenxu in a low voice, "Brother Chenxu, what exactly happened? Why are so many of us... gone now?"
Li Chenxu did not answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately. He stared intently at the situation outside with his deep eyes. After a few seconds, he said to Mu Xiaoyu in a deep voice, "We've probably been tricked. That old man is probably not simple."
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu realized that there had been no movement inside the old man's house.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Grandpa can't hear, could that be the reason he's not making a sound?"
"It's hard to say, but back then we were in a hurry to find the red box. Now that we've calmed down and thought about it carefully, if Bai Ye and the others really came here, why was the old man able to hide the red box right under their noses?"
