Upon hearing that, the nurse fled.
Standing at the same spot, Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin and thought about what she should do next.
She didnât need to worry about Auntie Luâs safety for the time being. But the girlâs motive for targeting Auntie Lu was the root of the problem and she still didnât understand why Auntie Lu was targeted.
A frightened voice came from the stairs above. âYou people⦠Who are you? What are you doing here?â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound. It was an old lady, frightened as she stared at them.
To be more accurate, she was looking at the two rows of black suited men behind her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why were they so unlucky?
She quickly smiled and said, âMaâam, weâre not bad people. Weâre only here to visit our friend.â
âHumph! Why would a bad person admit that sheâs a bad person? Hurry up and leave. Otherwise⦠Iâll call the police!â The old lady said, looking as though she could take on a hundred people.
Mu Xiaoxiao admired the old lady. Her hair was snow white but she still had so much power in her speech.
âIâm sorry, Maâam. Weâll be leaving now.â Mu Xiaoxiao thought that theyâd better leave. If the old lady called the police it would be bad for them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Xiaoxiao was going to push the door to leave, but the old lady stopped her. âDonât go there. There are many people there. If you go out with all of these suits you will scare everyone. Go down to the lowest floor and go out the back door.â
âOkay, thanks Maâam.â Mu Xiaoxiao kept a cordial smile.
Seeing her like this, the old lady found it hard to get angry with her. At last, she said kindly, âLittle girl, you really donât look like a bad person but youâd better go.â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âOkay, Iâll leave now.â
She led the black-suited bodyguards down the stairs.
Along the way, she turned back and complained to them. âI told you, didnât I? I told you guys not to follow me like this. How about this? Iâll let you follow but only two of you.â
No one replied. The head bodyguard was playing dumb again.
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a negotiating tone, âOk, fine. Three of you.â
Still, no one replied.
Mu Xiaoxiao was angry now. She stamped her feet and said in a huff, âOne, okay! You! Youâll be enough to protect me. The rest of you, please go somewhere I canât see you!â
This time she commanded them as she pointed her finger at the head bodyguard.
They remained silent.
Mu Xiaoxiao shot a look at them. She snorted inwardly. If it werenât for Yin Shaojieâs sake, she would never have agreed to their protection.
With her clever little brain, how could she not come up with a way to ditch these clingy guys?
Mu Xiaoxiao quickened her steps as she tried to think up something.
At the first floor she turned a corner and ran into somebody who was rushing down the hallway.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved to apologize but stopped when she saw who she had bumped into. It was the girl who was trying to poison Auntie Lu!
Was this⦠fate? Or was it Godâs plan?
