Chapter 228 If You Aren't Dead, How Could I Be?

ve me..."A faint voice came, but it was discernible. The voice was brittle and soft, sounding almost like the chirping of a small creature.Fu Lingxiao put down his phone and opened the car door. Befor..."It's not your fault, I spoiled her too much and made her like this."

Fu Lingxiao held a teacup in his hand, looking at Ning Chi Chi, "Do you feel comfortable living here"

Ning Chi bit her lip, putting on a pained expression. "It's nothing, everyone has always been very nice to me. Now that Uncle Fu is back, it's even better."

Fu Lingxiao saw her expression and asked, "What's wrong Was someone bullying you"

Ning Chi hurriedly shook her head, "No, no."

"If someone bullies you, you can tell me. Tell me where you feel uncomfortable, or you can tell Wu Guanjia."

Fu Lingxiao placed the teacup on the tea table and said again, "From now on, you don't need to do things like pouring tea and water. You saved me, and I should repay you. Don't feel embarrassed, just settle down."

Ning Chi was pleasantly surprised to look at Fu Lingxiao, her eyes sparkling: "Uncle Fu, you're so good to me!"

Fu Lingxiao lightly raised the corner of his lips and stood up, saying: "I have something to do, I'll go upstairs first."

Ning Chi watched the man leave with a sweet and innocent expression. As she gazed at his tall and straight back, a playful smile flickered in her eyes.

Ruthless, cruel, cold-hearted, cautious and suspicious, valuing trust and profit...

Well, Uncle Fu, where did your ruthlessness go

Fu Lingxiao went upstairs and came to Mu Xing's room. The little girl was sitting at her desk with her arms crossed, her cheeks puffed out.

He walked over, picked up the little girl and placed her on the desk, squeezing in between her legs, with his hands supporting himself beside her. He looked at her, "Are you angry Didn't we agree before" "Hmm"

Mu Xing pouted, her beautiful big eyes staring at him, speechless.

Fu Lingxiao leaned in close to her, a charming curve playing on his lips. "Baby, you look like this, I really want to bully you. What should I do"

Mu Xing suddenly wilted, reaching out to hug the man's neck and whispering, "Little Uncle, I've been trying my best to act angry, but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all"

Where is there no effect

He thought she was really angry just now.

"You don't take this seriously at all, does that mean I'm not acting convincingly enough Will she see through it" Mu Xing furrowed her brows, looking a little troubled. "I told you, I can't act."

Fu Lingxiao chuckled softly: "No, you're acting very well. You can add a bit more arrogance and domineering later."

"Arrogant"

Mu Xing thought for a moment, her eyes lit up. Tang Yingying wasn't she the epitome of arrogance and domineering

If you act like her, you're sure to get it right!

"Grandpa Fu."

Suddenly, a voice called out from the doorway.

Fu Lingxiao's thin lips brushed against Mu Xing's soft lip, "I have something to deal with, you rest in the room."

Mù Xīng let go of her hand, "Okay."

Fu Lingxiao strode out of the room and toward the study.

Shen Yue followed him to the study and closed the door, "Master Fu, the investigation results about Lu Yuan are back."

He passed the file folder in his hand, “According to the investigation, half a month before the Mu family fire, Lu Yuan left the imperial capital. At that time, he was leaving with his wife and daughter, seeming to be in a hurry. After leaving the imperial capital, their whereabouts disappeared for two days.”

When it appeared again, there was only he left. Afterward, he lived alone in Suyang County. His wife and daughters never reappeared, as if they had vanished into thin air.

Fu Lingxiao flipped through the investigation records, saying lightly, "His wife vanished, and he could still stay put. What do you think"

Shen Lue thought for a moment and said, "Because... he knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, they were hidden by him!"

Fu Lingxiao sat on the sofa, one hand resting on his desk, tapping rhythmically. “Three questions,” he murmured, “Why did he suddenly leave the Imperial Capital Why did he hide people If he had the ability to hide them without a trace, why didn't he hide himself”

"I have no idea." Shen Lue scratched his head. He could fight, but when it came to these kinds of questions, he was completely stumped.

But obviously, the man didn't need him to answer. After a moment of contemplation, his thin lips moved slightly, "About Mu family matters, Lu Yuan must know something. He might be controlled by someone right now. Send more people to investigate and find him as soon as possible."

Shen Lue: "Yes."

"Go see those two assassins." Fu Lingxiao locked the investigation results in the drawer, got up, and walked out of the study.

As they passed Mu Xing's room, they saw the little girl standing at the door, peering in their direction.

Fu Lingxiao walked out and rubbed her head, "Baby was waiting for me"

"No." Mu Xing looked at Shen Lue, "I'm waiting for Brother Shen Lue."

Shen Lue instantly felt a piercing cold gaze fixed on him, making his heart skip a beat. He forced a nervous smile at the man's gloomy face and hurriedly turned to Mu Xing, saying, "Little Star, quickly tell Master Fu what you need me for."

"I want you to take me to find those two assassins."

She couldn't bear it any longer! She had already let them live for several more days.

They were just about to examine those two assassins. Shen Yue was about to say he'd go along, but Fu Lingxiao beat him to it. "Those two assassins are still useful," he said. "Baby, hand them over to me to deal with, okay"

Mu Xing nodded. "Okay."

Although I really want to take their lives with my own hands, they are useful to Uncle Xia, so of course, I have to listen to Uncle Xia.

"Thank you, baby."

Fu Lingxiao pinched her little face and left with Shen Lue.

- Underground prison.

In the prison cell, Heizi huddled on the cold ground. Her mouth was stuffed with cloth, her hands and feet tightly bound. The gunshot wounds on her body had not been treated and were infected. Combined with the torment of the poison, her whole spirit was wilted.

Measured footsteps approached, coming closer and closer.

Soon, the door of the cell was opened from outside.

Heizi raised his eyelids and saw the man striding in with a stern gait, dressed all in black, exuding an imposing presence.

He stopped before her, like a king surveying his subject from on high, "You're still alive."

Hezui met his gaze, his eyes defiant.

Fu Lingxiao glanced at Shen Yue, and Shen Yue immediately stepped forward, pulling the cloth from her mouth.

Heizi twitched his tongue and sneered, "Since you're still alive, how could I be dead"

"To speak of being afraid of death so righteously."

A light, airy voice carried a chill. Light from above cast shadows on the man's face, highlighting his smooth features and casting dark lashes across his cheekbones.

He drooped his eyelids, the corner of his mouth curving into a cold arc. "A killer cultivated by the Black Domain is different."

Hei Zi frowned.

Although the Dark Domain is vast, it remains incredibly secretive due to the nature of the organization. Only its members are aware of its existence.

All the data from the underground base was permanently destroyed, and she never leaked any information.
