Chapter 212 Don't get your hands dirty
"It's nothing, I just want you to stay by my side."
Li Chenxu spoke in an incredibly gentle tone. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't already accepted it somewhat that morning, she would have been sickened by Li Chenxu's sweetness.
That's not all. While looking at Mu Xiaoyu tenderly, Li Chenxu also held her hand and played with it. Both his words and actions revealed the close relationship between the two.
Looking at Bai Ye's face again, although it didn't look much different from before, his eyes betrayed his current emotions.
This scene instantly made Mu Xiaoyu's expression become complicated, and her gaze towards Bai Ye and Li Chenxu was full of complex emotions.
"I won't bother Mr. Li and Ms. Bai any longer. I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."
Bai Ye spoke at the opportune moment, and after giving Mu Xiaoyu a deep look, he left the ward.
Mu Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses and wanted to say something to see Bai Ye off, but he had already walked away.
Why are you looking at him?
Li Chenxu spoke up at this moment, his words brimming with jealousy.
When Mu Xiaoyu thought about what she had just been thinking, her gaze towards Li Chenxu became even more complicated.
"You...you and Mr. Bai..."
What happened between him and me?
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's hesitant manner, Li Chenxu sensed something was wrong, and his thick, dark eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"Does Mr. Bai like you...?"
Mu Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking. It took her a lot of determination to ask that question. You can't blame her for asking it; the atmosphere between Bai Ye and Li Chenxu was just too strange at that moment.
Li Chenxu waited for a long time, but what he got in return was Mu Xiaoyu's words. He was so angry that he almost couldn't stop breathing.
He glared at Mu Xiaoyu through gritted teeth, and asked with a forced smile, "Tell me, how did you figure out that Bai Ye is interested in me?"
"Just now? You have no idea what the atmosphere was like when you two made eye contact... it really... made it impossible not to overthink it..."
Li Chenxu was initially angry, but after hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he suddenly couldn't vent his anger. He didn't know whether he should sympathize with Bai Ye or with himself.
He and Bai Ye are clearly rivals in love, and only someone with Mu Xiaoyu's way of thinking would believe that Bai Ye likes him.
However, Li Chenxu also felt fortunate. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu didn't know that Bai Ye liked her. Fortunately...
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu reached out and gently tapped Mu Xiaoyu on the forehead, scolding, "I don't know what's going on in your head all day long. Bai Ye and I are competitors, so stop thinking about nonsense all day long."
"You two aren't competitors at all..."
Mu Xiaoyu rubbed her forehead, which had been tapped by Li Chenxu, and muttered under her breath. It makes sense, though. Li Chenxu and Bai Ye are completely unrelated—one a businessman, the other a politician. How could they possibly be in competition? It's clearly just an excuse.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say this aloud. If she had, knowing Li Chenxu's personality, who knows how he would have punished her...
Li Chenxu has been keeping his injury a secret from the outside world. It's not that he finds it troublesome; after all, being injured provides an excuse to handle many things, but it also creates a lot of trouble, especially for the people at the Li family's old residence.
They already had a lot of prejudice and dislike towards Mu Xiaoyu. If they knew about this, the conflict between them and Mu Xiaoyu would only deepen, which was definitely not what Li Chenxu wanted to see.
Li Chenxu was discharged from the hospital after a week, while Qiangzi and the others were detained in a police station in Beijing.
On the surface, Li Chenxu shouldn't interfere too much in this matter, but that's only on the surface. Privately, neither Li Chenxu nor the Bai family can let go of it.
This time, in addition to punishing Qiangzi and his gang, we must also uproot the people behind them to eliminate any future worries.
"Why don't we put that matter on hold for now, and you can rest at home for a couple of days?"
Upon being discharged from the hospital, Li Chenxu didn't even go home; he went straight to the police station.
Although the doctor said that Li Chenxu's injury wasn't anything serious and that he just needed to rest, Mu Xiaoyu was still quite worried, especially since Li Chenchen's complexion wasn't very good.
"I'm fine, don't worry. After all, I'm a strong and healthy man, this little injury is nothing. But this matter needs to be dealt with quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if Mu Pengzheng escapes again..."
When Mu Pengzheng's matter was mentioned, Li Chenxu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Ever since he learned that Mu Pengzheng was still alive, Li Chenxu had been searching for Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts. However, Mu Pengzheng had been inside for so many years, and this escape was clearly premeditated. Each time, Li Chenxu's men only found a few clues.
More importantly, those so-called clues became practically useless as they continued their investigation, and the search for Mu Pengzheng had almost reached a dead end after such a long time.
Now that such an opportunity has finally come along, Li Chenxu is not about to let it slip away.
It would be better to kill Mu Xiaoyu than to subject him to something like this again.
Seeing Li Chenxu's determined gaze, Mu Xiaoyu swallowed back the words of persuasion she was about to say.
She actually wanted to resolve Mu Pengzheng's matter quickly, since he was now harming more than just her. If Mu Pengzheng's situation wasn't resolved, this kind of thing could very well happen again…
The two went directly to the police station. In fact, while Li Chenxu was hospitalized, he had already sent his assistant, Lin, to inquire about some information.
It's unclear what Mu Pengzheng did to Qiangzi and his group. Neither the police nor Li Chenxu's men could get any information about Mu Pengzheng out of them.
"Oh, Mr. Li and Mu Xiaoyu are here."
Seemingly certain that Li Chenxu couldn't do anything to them right now, Qiangzi's face once again wore that lewd and obscene expression.
Especially when he saw Mu Xiaoyu, his eyes were filled with blatant hatred and disgust, which made Mu Xiaoyu immediately frown.
Without even thinking, she walked over and slapped Qiangzi hard across the face.
No one expected Mu Xiaoyu to do this. With a crisp sound, everyone looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hint of shock.
"Damn it! You bitch, how dare you hit me!"
