On the way back to Shuise Bay, Ba Chuang kept talking to Nanxi, showing her the two fist-raising and elbow-strike moves he learned from Uncle Song Cai, and kept asking Nanxi to praise him for being handsome.

Nanxi forced herself to stay awake and chatted with her son until the car drove into the villa before hanging up the phone.

Balu was worried about his wife, and his dark eyes did not dare to leave her fair face for a second, not missing any of her expressions.

But Nanxi's face remained calm.

The quieter she appears, the more unsettling she becomes.

The last time her father-in-law passed away suddenly, she was just as quiet. Only the person beside her knew that she still had not completely gotten over the shadow of her father's death.

Her feelings for her father are complex and deep, but definitely not as distant as others see. In her heart, she always has a deep dependence on her father, a dependence that he, as her husband, may never reach.

The Nan family is where she grew up. She is attached to and loves everyone in the family, including her grandfather, father, Aunt Ying, great uncle, and the former Nan Suzhi.

Now, suddenly hearing that her grandfather's death was related to Nan Suzhi, how could she bear it.

"Baby, don't be like this. You're making me panic. What do you want to do? Tell me, okay? He's in Bangladesh. I've been keeping an eye on him. When I'm done with this, I'll go there myself to avenge Grandpa. Be good and look at me, okay?"

Baru felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, his handsome face was extremely tense, he half-knelt in front of the bed, looked up at his wife, and tried to coax her to talk to him, even if she just made a fuss or cried, to vent her emotions, so as not to suffocate herself.

The woman with unfocused eyes stared at her husband blankly, and uttered a soft sound with her pale pink lips.

"Honey, I want to sleep..."

When people are extremely sad, they just want to escape in a state as close to death as possible.

The man sighed, took off her shoes, lifted her legs onto the bed, and lay down on it himself.

"Then go to sleep. My husband is here."

The little woman turned sideways and snuggled into the man's arms, burying her face in his chest. One hand grabbed his collar, and her breathing was so shallow that it was almost inaudible. Until the man felt the wetness on his chest, he raised his rough big hand and patted her long hair. Without saying a word, he let her cry and fall asleep in his arms.

…

The next day, before daybreak, Baru suddenly opened his eyes and realized that the sweet and soft thing in his arms was gone. He felt a chill in his body, and blood rushed to his head. He jumped out of bed.

“Xixi…Xixi…”

In the living room, Fu Chai, who was on guard in the second half of the night, was sitting with his eyes closed to rest. Suddenly he heard his boss's crazy shouting and immediately rushed over.

"Brother...Brother...Sister Xi went to the room in the servants' building where Uncle Li used to live. We arranged for Uncle Li to stay there, and Biaozi accompanied him."

Baru's chaotic steps finally stopped. "Why didn't you call me? You just let her go like that? Are you asking for trouble?"

Fu Cai scratched the back of his neck in frustration, "Brother, Sister Xi told me that you are too tired and asked me not to disturb you to rest. After all, this is her home and Biaozi is with her, so nothing will happen."

"You know shit." The man was too lazy to argue with him. He walked to the door, put on his shoes, and walked towards the servants' building.

The large suite on the third floor of the servants' building was where Uncle Li used to live. After a night's rest, he looked much better than last night.

Nanxi and Uncle Li sat face to face at the dining table, eating a simple breakfast that Nanxi had asked the servants to prepare early in the morning.

The servant left behind in the villa is already old, but because she has worked here for many years, the Nan family has been supporting her. She has specially learned Chinese cuisine, and as long as the owner of the house is at home, she will be asked to prepare Chinese meals.

Breakfast consisted of two baskets of vegetarian buns, pumpkin porridge, and two crisp and refreshing side dishes. In front of Nanxi, there was a bowl of peach gum and bird's nest stew. She drank it slowly with her head down. Uncle Li did the same. He finished his breakfast quietly without saying anything extra.

"Miss, I won't live long. There's no need for you to take me back. Once I show up, Nan Suzhi will know that he can no longer hide what happened before. If he could use brotherly love as a fig leaf before, now he will definitely do everything he can to get what he wants."

Uncle Li waited until Nanxi finished eating before he slowly spoke.

"It's okay, Uncle Li. From the moment he swung the butcher knife at Grandpa, this so-called brother-sister relationship was severed by him. Only Avici Hell awaits him.

You've worked diligently for the Nan family your entire life. One son died, and another was hunted down by Cha Mu for the Nan family. I'll take care of you in your old age no matter what I say. Someone will come and take you to the hospital for a checkup. Your illness will definitely be cured."

Uncle Li shook his head and smiled. "Back then, I was a poor student who couldn't afford tuition and dropped out of college. It was Mr. Li who gave me food to eat and gave me dignity. Although my wife couldn't be saved in the end, Mr. Li actually paid the huge medical expenses for our family when my wife was sick. We owe Mr. Li a debt that we will never be able to repay in our lifetime."

He's gone, but the Nan family still exists. I'm content to be able to see the eldest daughter get married, have children, and live happily. When I get there, I'll have something to give to you."

"Uncle Li, I won't let anything happen to you, don't worry." Nanxi raised her eyes and looked at the person opposite.

"You just said that Li Hang found out I was trapped on the island, so he led Xue Peng to rescue me. So, the person I saw that day was definitely Li Hang, and he's with Xue Peng now?"

"Yes, Li Hang was initially sent by Nan Suzhi to Xue Peng, but later, he discovered that Xue Peng seemed to have some special feelings for you. He also happened to receive the news that you were trapped, so he decided to use Xue Peng's help to rescue you.

But I didn’t expect that my brother-in-law was more resourceful. After seeing you being taken away by my brother-in-law, he continued to stay with Xue Peng.

However, his secret investigation into the cause of the master's death was discovered by Nan Suzhi, now known as Cha Mu. Following the clues, he found out that he was instigating Xue Peng, and thus he became murderous.

Nan Xi's eyes flickered, and then she frowned and asked Uncle Li, "You said at the beginning that the toxin that Dad was infected with was developed by Nan Suzhi's medical laboratory, right?"

"Yes, Miss, Li Hang originally wanted to collect all the evidence and then find a way to contact you, but he discovered that Xue Peng didn't seem to be just a gangster in Thailand as he seemed. Although he didn't hear it clearly, it seemed that Xue Peng was conspiring with someone to take action against his son-in-law.

Sir didn't like my son-in-law before, but since you have married him and have his child, he is naturally a member of the Nan family. We can't just watch outsiders attack people from the Nan family, so we made plans in advance.

Nan Suzhi harmed the master and the teacher, and Xue Peng wants to harm the son-in-law. The Nan family has finally added a few more people. Even if I risk my life, I will protect you..."

Nanxi lowered her head, suppressed all her emotions, and after more than ten seconds, she looked at Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, you've suffered a lot over the past few years. Thank you for your dedication. Leave the rest to me. Tell Li Hang to leave Xue Peng immediately. He's in too dangerous a situation."
