At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu's face was completely drained of color, and she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.
Li Chenxu was both shocked and pained. He quickly hugged Mu Xiaoyu from behind, his heavy gaze fixed on the confidant who had brought the message, his expression also somewhat grim.
The people he's been with these past two days are all his trusted confidants, but they've always worked behind the scenes, rarely coming to the forefront to help Li Chenxu. Now he's simply telling Li Chenxu what happened directly. Why is Li Chenxu acting this way?
The bodyguard who was speaking was really confused. He didn't know what to do, especially since Mu Xiaoyu looked so frightening. She looked like she was about to faint at any moment. She looked terrifying. He couldn't bring himself to say what he was about to say when he saw her like this.
Why aren't you saying anything? What happened?
Mu Xiaoyu had no intention of giving up so easily. Seeing that the person didn't speak, she tightened her grip on the person's clothes even more.
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot as she stared intently at the bodyguard, her expression incredibly chilling.
"You say it."
With things having come to this point, even if Li Chenxu wanted to hide something from Mu Xiaoyu, there was nothing he could do under the circumstances. He could only ask the bodyguard to say the rest of the story.
Since Li Chenxu had already spoken, the bodyguard could only say, "When you came out just now, sir, we received news that Mrs. Mu had been picked up by someone. We don't know who picked her up, but judging from the surveillance footage, Mrs. Mu did it entirely voluntarily, and it seems that no one forced her."
"Since you've already reviewed the security footage, why don't you even know who took Auntie away?"
Li Chenxu disliked seeing Mu Xiaoyu looking like she had lost her soul, and upon hearing this, he immediately frowned and asked.
The bodyguard looked at Li Chenxu with some difficulty upon hearing this, and stammered, "That person clearly came prepared. The sanatorium's surveillance cameras have never been able to capture his face, but since we received the news, our people have been investigating based on his build."
These words eased Li Chenxu's expression slightly, but Mu Xiaoyu was clearly not in such a good mood. Tears finally streamed down her face, and before Li Chenxu could offer a few words of comfort, Mu Xiaoyu fainted.
"Little Feather!"
Li Chenxu was shocked. Mu Xiaoyu's health was already poor, and all sorts of things had happened recently, making it impossible for her to rest properly. Now, hearing that her mother had been through such a thing, the tension in her heart suddenly snapped.
"Quick! Go to the hospital!"
Li Chenxu felt a heavy weight in his heart. He couldn't care about anything else and immediately picked up Mu Xiaoyu and headed for the car.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu opened her eyes slightly, her fair hands tightly gripping Li Chenxu's clothes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Chenxu, you must find my mother. You are all I have left. She can't be hurt again..."
Mu Xiaoyu's voice was almost inaudible, but those few words, just "you," made Li Chenxu's heart ache. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, saying in a hoarse voice, "I won't let anything happen to Auntie, I won't."
Hearing Li Chenxu's assurance, Mu Xiaoyu finally felt at ease and fell asleep.
Li Chenxu took Mu Xiaoyu directly to the hospital. When Mu Xiaoyu woke up again, the person beside her was not Li Chenxu, but her mother.
No one knew how long she had been there. When Mu Xiaoyu woke up, she was resting on the sofa with her eyes closed. There were some simple medical devices attached to her body, but she seemed to be in much better spirits than when she went to the police station to see Mu Pengzheng.
"Mother……"
Mu Xiaoyu called her name softly, her voice sounding somewhat unreal. She hadn't expected Li Chenxu to find her mother so quickly, and she was afraid it was all a hallucination.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, her mother slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu had woken up, her eyes were filled with heartache.
She got up and sat down next to Mu Xiaoyu, gently stroking the hair by Mu Xiaoyu's ear, and said with a mix of helplessness and heartache, "It's Mom's fault for making you worry. I should have told you before I left."
Mu Xiaoyu held her mother's hand, shaking her head repeatedly. In fact, when she saw her mother appear here unharmed, for a moment, she even wanted Li Chenxu to send her mother away, to keep her away from all this. But when the words came to her lips, thinking of her mother's personality, she couldn't bring herself to say them.
After hesitating for a long time, she could only ask, "Mom, what exactly happened? Who took you away? And what happened?"
This time, Mu Xiaoyu's mother smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; instead, it carried a hint of coldness. She didn't answer Mu Xiaoyu immediately, but said, "Xiaoyu, to be honest, I was saved by that boy Shen Xu. Over the past few years, I've seen how good Shen Xu has been to me and how much he likes you. But his kindness to you and to me is his own business and has nothing to do with the Li family."
"Was it the Li family who took you away?"
Even though she didn't say anything explicitly at this point, Mu Xiaoyu had already guessed what was going on. She had been wondering if the Bai family had taken her away.
But now, it's actually someone from the Li family.
An indescribable anger filled Mu Xiaoyu's heart. Her hands, which were at her sides, clenched into fists. Recalling the words that Grandpa Li had said, she felt hatred in her heart at this moment.
Even though she disliked the Li family before, she never harbored any hatred towards them because of Li Chenxu. But now, with her closest relatives involved, she really couldn't sit there any longer!
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, looked at her mother, and continued to ask, "Mom, what did they do to you? Did they threaten you?"
"This is what I want to tell you next."
Mu Xiaoyu's mother's expression grew increasingly serious. Unlike Mu Xiaoyu and the others, she didn't believe these things should be kept from Mu Xiaoyu, and at this moment, she told Mu Xiaoyu everything that had happened during the time she was away.
Just as Grandpa Li said before, if Mu Xiaoyu is disobedient, he will start with Mu Xiaoyu's mother.
Since Mu Xiaoyu left the Li family's old house last time, she has not contacted Grandpa Li again. Li Chenyu's arrival was also a warning to Mu Xiaoyu, urging her to take action as soon as possible.
Since Mu Xiaoyu remained inactive, they naturally began to consider using her mother to threaten her.
