Chapter 474 You Are the Most Important

Bai Luo's words caught Mu Xiaoyu completely off guard, leaving her mind blank. She didn't even understand what Bai Luo meant.

Is there something she overlooked or didn't notice?

How could Bai Ye and his associates possibly be sentenced to death? It wasn't just a matter of abusing their power, and the amount of abuse they used wasn't even that significant. How could they possibly be sentenced to death?

Mu Xiaoyu couldn't understand, staring blankly at Bai Luo for a long while before stammering, "Bai Luo, what do you mean by that? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Bai Luo didn't seem to want to tell Mu Xiaoyu anything else. Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's expression, with conflicted look in her eyes, she remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed Bai Luo's hand, bit her lip, looked at her seriously, and said directly, "Bai Luo, I came here this time to help you. If you don't say anything, I can't help you at all, you know that?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, if even Mr. Li can't do anything about it, how could you possibly do anything about it? Don't waste your energy on me. I'm already very happy that you came today."

Bai Luo shook her head at Mu Xiaoyu, her gaze falling on the hand Mu Xiaoyu was holding, her expression softening further.

She was only in her early twenties, but now she looked like she had aged ten or twenty years, losing the liveliness that someone her age should have.

If Bai Luo had just been born into an ordinary family, even if he couldn't enjoy the same privileged environment he had in the Bai family, he could at least have lived a peaceful and smooth life instead of suffering so much hardship and torment like he does now.

Mu Xiaoyu was speechless. What was it that even Li Chenxu couldn't solve?

Could it be that Bai Ye, and the Bai family, have committed other crimes that could implicate Bai Luo?

For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu's mind was in turmoil. She looked at Bai Luo, wanting to ask more questions, but Bai Luo clearly didn't want to say anything more about it. Even if she continued to ask, she wouldn't get any answers.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you should go back. Things are very tense these days. Don't stay here too long, or it won't be good for you or Mr. Li if word gets out. Besides, I'm tired too."

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu staring blankly at her, Bai Luo spoke up at the opportune moment. Actually, she really wanted Mu Xiaoyu to stay, even just a few more minutes. But given her current situation, she couldn't burden Mu Xiaoyu any further.

“Bai Luo…”

"Sister Xiaoyu!"

How could Mu Xiaoyu possibly want to leave like this? But Bai Luo was completely turning her away, unwilling to say anything more to her. Besides, what Bai Luo just said was right; staying any longer would be no good for anyone.

In just a few seconds, several thoughts flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind. Finally, she stood up and walked out. But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. She remained with her back to Bai Luo and said, "Wait for me. I will definitely find a way to save you."

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Luo's reply, Mu Xiaoyu quickly left the room.

Bai Luo kept her eyes fixed on the direction Mu Xiaoyu had left through the doorway, without moving an inch.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally looked away, and then a genuine smile appeared on her face.

Regardless of the final outcome, she was already very happy.

I'm so happy to have met Mu Xiaoyu, and so happy to have become Mu Xiaoyu's friend.

Perhaps her life is not long now, but she is already very content.

When Mu Xiaoyu went downstairs, Bai Ye had already disappeared. The lower level of the villa was almost deserted. When she arrived, she had seen Bai Ye and some other servants; at least on the surface, nothing seemed different from before.

But right now, the room is completely quiet, and something feels off.

Upon seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately became alert. She glanced warily at her surroundings and quickly tried to leave.

Just as she was about to reach the door, there was a sudden bang as the door slammed shut. The next second, someone appeared behind Mu Xiaoyu and covered her mouth and nose with a towel. Before Mu Xiaoyu could react, she fainted.

"Master, what should we do now?"

The person who knocked Mu Xiaoyu unconscious was none other than the servants at the Bai family villa.

They were clearly not acting on a whim; they had been preparing for this for a long time, and everyone was very calm at this moment.

Unlike Mu Xiaoyu's self-deprecating humor when she first arrived, Bai Ye's expression was now dark and unreadable. He didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the unconscious Mu Xiaoyu, his gaze shifting between light and shadow.

I don't know how much time passed before he said, "Try to contact Li Chenxu or Song Yin and tell them that Mu Xiaoyu is in our hands now."

Upon hearing this, the maid paused, then asked uncertainly, "Young Master, is that all you're saying?"

"No need, just tell them this, and they'll know what to do then."

What Bai Luo didn't tell Mu Xiaoyu was that, besides abusing their power to deal with the Li family, the Bai family had been using their positions to seek various benefits for many years. Just the amount of money they embezzled and accepted as bribes alone was staggering.

Once the investigation concludes, Bai Ye and Old Master Bai will both face the death penalty.

Bai Luo had always known about these things, but he had never reported them over the years. Even if he wasn't sentenced to death, he was bound to go to jail.

The Bai family had already resigned themselves to their fate, but Mu Xiaoyu just happened to arrive at this time.

Indeed, Bai Ye's feelings for Mu Xiaoyu are genuine.

However, the Bai family took in Bai Ye and even helped him take revenge. Given their years of nurturing, Bai Ye couldn't just stand by and watch something happen to the Bai family.

At least, it can save Bai Luo.

So now, he can only feel sorry for Mu Xiaoyu.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the maid immediately understood and, without saying anything more, picked up Mu Xiaoyu and was about to take her to the basement. But just then, Bai Luo, who was supposed to be resting upstairs, suddenly came down.

She stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Bai Ye and the others, her face deathly pale. After a long while, she staggered down the stairs, her lips trembling as she looked at Bai Ye with an expression that was almost tearful: "Big brother, what are you trying to do? Even now, are you going to continue down this wrong path? Don't you like Sister Xiaoyu? Why... why are you doing this to her!"

"I do like her, but no matter how much I like her, she's not as important as you guys."
