Chapter 272: Breakthrough in the Investigation

m the moment he received the message to her return, it was only an hour. Apparently, the little girl hadn't eaten and rushed back first.The man's thin lips curled into a pleasant arc, "Hungry"He didn'...Fu Lingxiao didn't return to the manor until 2 am after staying at the company all night.

As the car drove towards the hospital building, he saw from afar a solitary figure standing at the entrance. Her loose hospital gown made her seem even more petite and fragile.

This kid, how is she still not asleep...

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows furrowed, while the little girl had already stepped into the hazy night, running towards the car. Even though he couldn't see her expression clearly, he still clearly felt her urgency.

"Stop!"

The car screeched to a halt. Fu Lingxiao quickly opened the car door and before he could even stand still, a little figure flew into his arms.

"Uncle, you're finally back."

Mu Xing hugged the man's waist with one hand, "You didn't reply to my messages and you didn't come home, I was so worried about you!"

The little one in his arms, with a pale face the size of his palm, looked up at him with bright deer eyes full of worry.

The little girl was cold all over, which showed she had been standing here for a long time.

Her body was still so weak…

At this moment, Fu Lingxiao only felt that the place where a dull pain had been tearing at his viscera from deep within softened.

He clenched his fist secretly, suppressed his emotions, picked up the little bear and walked towards the medical building. "Little fool, I was too busy today and didn't have time to reply to you. Don't stay up so late without sleeping in the future, run out to wait for me, okay"

Mu Xing hugged his neck and gently kissed his cheek, then rested her head in his collarbone, "That little uncle, please try to come home earlier in the future, okay If you don't come back, I can't sleep."

Fu Lingxiao caressed the little girl's nape, rubbing it gently. "Good."

At that time, Mu Xing came down to wait for her little uncle. According to Uncle Wu's instructions, she was resting in the ward. Uncle Wu was not at ease and quietly followed behind, hiding in a corner. When he saw his young master carrying Mu Xing back, he quickly ran back to the ward and leaned on the sofa pretending to sleep.

Hearing the footsteps, he feigned wakefulness and rose to greet him, saying, "Young Master is back."

Fu Lingxiao nodded slightly, "En, Wu Shu, you go back to rest."

"Alright, I'll bring breakfast and Young Master's clothes over tomorrow."

Wu Guanjia hurried away and closed the door.

"Baby, go to sleep first. I'm going to take a shower."

Fu Lingxiao placed Mu Xing on the sickbed and turned to go to the bathroom. When he came out after washing, the little girl was still awake.

The delicate little person lay on the wide hospital bed, with a pair of beautiful big eyes open. When he saw him come in, he smiled, his eyebrows curved into a crescent moon.

Fu Lingxiao's heart skipped a beat. He strode over with his long legs, lay down beside her, and held her in his arms. "Why aren't you asleep yet"

"I can't sleep."

All day, she felt uneasy, probably because she hadn't been in contact with her uncle all day.

As she spoke, Mu Xing snuggled closer to the man's chest, pressing tightly against his torso. She didn't notice the complex emotions swirling in his eyes.

Fu Lingxiao pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Baby, I'll show you something."

He let go of Mu Xing, picked up his phone from the bedside table, opened the picture with black wings, and held it in front of Mu Xing's eyes. "Have you seen this pattern before"

Mu Xing stared at it for a long while, then shook her head with certainty. “Never seen it before. What does this black wing represent”

Fu Lingxiao let out a low "en" and put away his phone, finding himself lost in thought.

The little girl said that only she and her master lived on Qingyun Mountain. If she didn't know something, then the piece of paper with black wings but not yet burning must have been left behind by her master.

At first, he couldn't be sure whether the note was intentional or accidental. But now, he increasingly felt that everything from the little girl coming to the estate looking for socks, to finding the note, his trip to Qingyun Mountain, each step was carefully planned. The purpose was to get him to bring the little girl back. He still couldn't figure out what the elusive master Dragon intended by doing this.

But he knew that using black wings to lure him to Qingyun Mountain was enough to confirm that in the car accident twelve years ago, he was at least an accomplice.

Twelve years ago, the Mu family and the Fu family had accidents on the same day. It seemed unrelated at first glance, but his intuition told him there must be some intricate connection between them.

As long as one thing is cleared up, all the truth will come to light, and the little girl's master is the breakthrough in the investigation!

It wouldn't be difficult to find him. The little girl is here, and he has countless ways to lure him out...

"Uncle"

His thoughts were interrupted by a soft, gentle call. Fu Lingxiao quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes and lowered his gaze to look at Mu Xing, "What's wrong, baby"

Mu Xing chased after him, asking, "Uncle Xiao, you haven't answered me yet. What does the black wing pattern represent"

"I'm not quite sure at the moment either."

Fu Lingxiao temporarily didn't plan to tell her, so he gave a vague answer and pulled her back into his embrace.

Mu Xing frowned, she didn't know why, but she always felt that her little uncle had been a bit strange these past two days. He had suddenly asked her so many questions. Could it be...

Suddenly remembering a possibility, she immediately asked, "Uncle, have you found out anything about the fire at my house"

Fu Lingxiao never expected that the seemingly cute and silly little girl would have such precise and terrifying intuition!

He looked at her for a moment, his gaze lingering briefly before returning to normal. "Not yet," he said. "I want to understand first, it might be helpful for the investigation."

Mu Xing didn't doubt him and immediately asked, "Little uncle, have you found Lu Yuan yet"

Fu Lingxiao's heart tightened suddenly. He clasped the little girl's head with one hand and pressed her against his chest, controlling the ups and downs in his voice, "Not yet, I'll tell you when I find it. It's late, go to sleep."

"Well then, Uncle, good night."

Mu Xing rubbed against the man's chest, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Fu Lingxiao lowered his head to look at the sleeping figure in his arms, struggling to contain his emotions. They surged uncontrollably, flooding his heart with a tide of feelings, while a hint of obsession flickered in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Baby, no matter what the truth is, you can't leave me. That's what you promised me."

A low voice drifted slowly through the air, finally leaving only silence in the room.

At 7:00 a.m., Wu the housekeeper prepared and delivered breakfast and clothes.

The man who hadn't slept all night gently released the little girl who was still fast asleep. He got up, changed his clothes, and whispered to Mr. Wu not to wake her up. Then he went to work.

Mu Xing slept until noon before waking up.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was greeted by Wu the housekeeper's grinning voice: “Little Mu, you’re awake. Are you hungry Come on, get up and wash up. I've had lunch sent over.”

Mu Xing just got out of the bathroom after washing up when a knock came at the door. A warm voice said, "Little Mu Xing, can I come in"y knows we're acting."She had wanted to tell her uncle for a long time, but tonight was simply too beautiful, and she couldn't bear to spoil it.The man lowered his eyes and hummed in response.Whether...
