The weather in Shanghai is always changeable. If there is any disagreement, it will start to rain continuously from nightfall, sometimes heavy, sometimes light.
"Daddy, let's go to the hospital!" Mu Li, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt someone break the barrier she had set up. She was suddenly awakened and counted on her fingers, "Grandpa is in danger!"
"Okay, Dad will take you there." Mu Bai was woken up in a daze. He got up and washed his face with cold water, then picked up Mu Li and drove to the hospital as fast as possible.
In the hospital, Mr. Mu was lying quietly on the bed. A stealthy figure sneaked into the ward, took out a syringe, and pushed the liquid in the syringe into Mr. Mu's body.
Mr. Mu's body immediately began to twitch violently, and he foamed at the mouth.
Mu Bai and Mu Li rushed into the ward and saw this scene. Mu Bai hurried forward to check and found that Mr. Mu had stopped breathing.
Mu Li's eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. She turned to look at the dark figure and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill my grandfather?"
The black shadow sneered: "If you want to blame someone, blame your Mu family for offending someone you shouldn't have offended!" After saying that, the black shadow threw out a piece of talisman paper and disappeared.
Mu Bai hugged Grandpa Mu's body, his eyes filled with anger and sadness.
"Li'er, can you find out who that person was just now?" Mu Bai said in a cold voice.
Mu Li wiped away her tears, cast a spell, and a mirror appeared in her hand, shining in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
A man's figure appeared in the mirror, but Mu Li didn't recognize him. "Daddy, do you know this man?"
"It's Song Ren! He is the son of your grandfather's comrade-in-arms. I didn't expect him to do such a thing!" Mu Bai gritted his teeth, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"It must be the Song family!" Mu Bai clenched his fists. "For years, the Song family has been competing with our Mu family, both openly and covertly, for the resources of the Magic City. Old Master, for the sake of his fallen comrades, has never bothered with them. It seems they are willing to resort to such despicable means to get rid of us."
"Daddy, don't worry. I have a way to save grandpa. Let's take grandpa home first." Mu Li's eyes flashed with determination.
"Okay." Mu Bai nodded. He knew that his daughter had abilities different from those of ordinary people.
Mu Bai then called the hospital director, who collapsed to the ground in shock when he saw the old man's condition. He had clearly been getting better yesterday, so why did he die today?
"Dean, please check the cause of my father's death!" Mu Bai's voice was cold and his face was as frosty as ice.
"Okay, President Mu, I'll arrange it right away." The dean stood up shakily, not caring about the cold sweat on his body. He immediately called for an examination. A blood test result came back in a short while. "President Mu, the old man was injected with an overdose of over-the-counter drugs, which caused him to suddenly convulse, foam at the mouth, and a sharp drop in blood pressure, leading to his death."
"Arrange for him to be discharged from the hospital. I will take the old man home." After a long silence, Mu Bai ordered in a cold voice.
"Okay, Mr. Mu." The dean quickly arranged for someone to complete the discharge procedures and arranged for a car to take Mr. Mu back to the Mu residence.
"Director, my father just recovered and wanted to be discharged, so we stayed up all night for so long and caused trouble for the hospital."
"I heard the hospital's equipment is a bit old, so I'll have my assistant replace it with new ones." The dean, who was about to get in the car, was startled by Mu Baihan's chilling voice. Then he realized, "Mr. Mu, you're too polite. The old man is no longer in good health. It's really boring to stay in the hospital. It's more comfortable to live at home."
"Well, let's go back. Thank you for your hard work, Dean!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Mu!" The dean trotted into the car and left the Mu residence.
"Dad, there is no time to lose. I will go to the underworld and bring grandpa back!" Mu Li set up a formation beside the old man's bed and pasted talismans around the room. After everything was ready, she said to Mu Bai.
"What?" Mu Bai was shocked. Was he hallucinating? His daughter said she wanted to go to the underworld to bring her grandfather back?
"Dad, grandpa's soul has left his body. I have to go to the underworld quickly to retrieve his soul. Otherwise, after crossing the Naihe Bridge and drinking Mengpo Soup, it will be too late!" Mu Li continued.
"No, how can you go to the underworld?" Mu Bai disagreed.
"Don't worry, Dad. I've been to the underworld and I know Meng Po. I'll be fine and will definitely bring grandpa's soul back. But after I leave, don't let anyone come in and destroy the formation in the room. This is to ensure that grandpa's soul leaves the body but his body does not decay. Once it is destroyed, grandpa's body will rot, and even if I bring grandpa back, his body will be unusable." Mu Li warned seriously.
"But... Daddy is worried about you! That's the underworld, it would be very dangerous for you to go there alone." Mu Bai still disagreed.
"Daddy, don't worry about me. I will be back soon. Remember what I just said." After saying that, Mu Li summoned the Nine Nether Butterflies, tearing the space apart. A pitch-black hole instantly appeared in the room. Mu Li walked into the black hole and disappeared in an instant, and the black hole in the room also disappeared.
"Li'er, Li'er..." Mu Bai shouted nervously, feeling anxious and distressed...
Such a loud noise startled the old lady who was already fast asleep. The old lady looked at the scene in front of her and was so frightened that her eyes turned black and she almost fainted.
"What's going on? Wasn't she fine before I came back?" The old lady had been staying in the hospital for the past two days, and Mu Bai had finally persuaded her to come back and rest.
"Mom, don't worry. Li'er said there is a way to save Dad. She has already done it. We just have to wait." Mu Bai tried his best to calm himself and patiently comforted the old lady.
