That last sentence was just a child's joke.
No one knew that the little guy, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually having a heart pounding in his chest.
She even bit her tongue because she was a little nervous, but she managed to hold it in.
She tried to imitate her third brother's calm and composed demeanor, but found that she couldn't do it.
Especially the ears are getting hotter and hotter, they must be turning red.
Trying to appear calm, but still naive and clueless, Curly: ...
So I might as well just give up and do whatever I want.
"Why are you all looking at me like that... Did I say something wrong...?"
The little guy shrank back a bit in fear, looking at his parents, brothers, and Mu Hu in front of him, as if he was frightened by them.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly normal reaction dispelled the doubts that should have arisen in everyone's minds.
"You all enjoy your meal. I'll go find Lord Li."
Mu Hu finally realized that he had overlooked something.
The young girl reminded him that the scholar he had met near Bai Jiaxing's house bore a striking resemblance to the one in the portrait.
Seeing Mu Hu leave in a hurry, Bai Yun'an, having achieved his goal, turned his gaze to his younger sister.
Could this be... telepathy?
What else could it be?
However… Bai Yun'an lowered his eyes slightly and pondered his current state. It didn’t seem like he was in a state of complacency or retirement.
[Tsk, they're getting serious again. But, it's rare to find an interesting person willing to get involved, so I guess I'll just join in.]
As soon as Mu Hu arrived at the county government office, he saw Bai's second sister-in-law kneeling on the ground, sobbing.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Bai's second sister-in-law turned around and glanced at him. As if she had seen a savior, she rushed to Mu Hu in a panic, almost stumbling.
"Captain Mu, Captain Mu, please save Jiaxing!"
“A bunch of people rushed into the house and kidnapped Jiaxing’s father and my mother-in-law. Jiaxing was also kidnapped.”
"In the middle of the night, and...and with a knife, Jiaxing's father's hand was chopped off!!!"
As she spoke, Bai's second sister-in-law burst into tears. She gripped Mu Hu's arm tightly as if she were clutching a lifeline, pleading with him.
Gradually, she felt a sticky sensation in her palm, and when she looked down, she saw blood flowing down Mu Hu's arm.
Mu Hu didn't care about his arm injury at all, and just comforted Bai's second sister-in-law: "Okay, I'll go and rescue Jiaxing."
Why leave another member of the Bai family alive?
Bei Lanfeng was just waiting for Mu Hu to walk right into his trap.
How can we save them?
Mu Hu was unaware.
But they knew that not rescuing was the most rational choice at this time.
"Lord Li, please comfort and take care of him. I'll go out and think of a solution."
Mu Hu fled the county government office in a somewhat panicked manner.
He had just left the county government office when he saw Bai Tian and his family of six.
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
Bai Tian quickly explained, glancing at his second son in the process.
You see, the second son also overheard what Bai's second sister-in-law said. Bai Jiaxing was, in fact, one of the second son's former soldiers...
Should we save them or not?
