"Can you wake up now?"

Xu Mo had just driven out of the police station when he stopped at the first traffic light. He looked at Ning Xiaoxiao playfully in the rearview mirror. Ning Xiaoxiao was sitting in the backseat with her eyes tightly closed.

Although Ning Xiaoxiao had her eyes closed, her eyelashes were still fluttering. When she heard Xu Mo's voice, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Why did you come so late? I'm so tired that I'm about to faint!"

Ning Xiaoxiao sat up and looked at the intersection before her, grumbling at Xu Mo in dissatisfaction.

"I came 100 yards! We've already done our best! "

Looking at Ning Xiaoxiao in the rearview mirror, he saw that the blood stains on her face had dried and formed scabs. The makeup that had been scattered on her face earlier was now much less.

All that was left was his bloodied face, which looked even more terrifying than before. Xu Mo threw a packet of tissues at Ning Xiaoxiao.

"Don't want to wipe it off?"

"Humph!" Ning Xiaoxiao did not open the tissue. Instead, she was fiddling with it, her expression dark.

"We're still missing the final scene, we still have to unload this one!"

Xu Mo looked worriedly at Ning Xiaoxiao. Xu Mo's words were in his mind, but he didn't know how to explain them to Ning Xiaoxiao. He had seen Lu Qing's expression and felt that Ning Xiaoxiao was being too paranoid in her actions.

If Aunt Shao was still around, she probably hoped that Ning Xiaoxiao would be happy and live a carefree life. However, like now, in order to find the truth for her, she ignored the people around her and escaped into a dead end.

"Xiaoxiao, Lu Qing's car is just behind us. If you regret it, we …"

Xu Mo fell silent for a moment before deciding to give Ning Xiaoxiao another chance to think.

"Let's return to the Ning family!"

Before Xu Mo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Xiaoxiao. How could she not understand what Xu Mo meant? It was just that some things were like the string of a bow; she had no way out.

Xu Mo shook his head and turned the steering wheel. In the end, he turned right and drove out.

"Boss Lu, it's Boss Xu's car!"

If Lin Yi saw it, how about Lu Qing? Lin Yi stopped his car and Lu Qing stared in the direction Xu Mo's car left in for a long time.

If he still did not understand what happened tonight at the beginning, then from the moment Xu Mo appeared, Lu Qing's heart would have some understanding. How could it be that coincidental? Coincidentally, there was a reporter squatting at the spot, and coincidentally, Xu Mo appeared just in time.

If he didn't see wrongly, he should have gone straight to the Xu family's place. It was already so late, but Xu Mo's car had turned right, with only the Ning family in the direction.

Lu Qing retracted his gaze, instructing Lin Yi in an indifferent tone, "Go home!"

In Lin Yi's eyes, Lu Qing had never had too many expressions. Now that he was in the back seat, although he still had the same expression as always, Lin Yi could clearly see the loneliness on his face.

"Open the door!"

Xu Mo was carrying Ning Xiaoxiao. In the middle of the night, he knocked on the door of the Ning Residence. Ning Xiaoxiao leaned her body against Xu Mo's body.

After a long while, the lights in the Ning Family's living room lit up. Old Zhao, who was guarding the door, walked towards the door with a frown on his face while identifying the person.

Seeing that it was Xu Mo, Old Zhao's footsteps quickened. He hurriedly took out a remote control from his pocket and opened the door.

"It's Young Master Xu. Why are you looking for Old Master so late at night?"

Old Zhao's tone was clearly fawning on Xu Mo as he bowed, wanting to attract his attention. He didn't notice Ning Xiaoxiao who was beside Xu Mo at all.

Old Zhao was originally a hoodlum from the same village of Ning Weishan, and he had a wide range of food, drinks, and gambling skills. Unfortunately, people with low IQ were unable to do anything, but because he was cheating in a casino, he lost two of his fingers and became Zhao Sanniang. His real name was Zhao Sanniang, but no one really knew.

Now that he was old and couldn't move anymore, he went to Ning Wei Mountain, and Ning Wei Mountain arranged a job as a gatekeeper for him.

Xu Mo nodded and did not respond to Old Zhao. He was indifferent to Xu Mo from Ning Weishan, not to mention one of Ning Weishan's most vulnerable henchmen.

Old Zhao was clearly dissatisfied with Xu Mo's attitude. All these years, ever since he had climbed up Ning Weishan, anyone who dared to call him 'Third Master' would give him face and respectfully address him as' Master '. Now that he was trying to please Xu Mo, he never thought that Xu Mo would be so disrespectful.

"Old master, you're asleep. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow!"

Old Zhao saw that Xu Mo was not giving him any face, so he immediately changed his expression, placing Xu Mo in the middle of the Ning Family's front garden with Ning Xiaoxiao in his arms. Old Zhao, on the other hand, stood in the middle of the road, blocking Xu Mo's way.

Before, he had only focused on researching medicine, but what he had seen in the hospital was a mixture of sorrow and joy. Now, he had accepted the Xu family, and every day, he would see these kinds of people who were not on his side. He couldn't get used to it in the beginning, but now, he had become much calmer in the face of this kind of people.

Old Zhao stopped him, and Xu Mo was not angry. He stared emotionlessly at Old Zhao, a cold smile on his face.

Old Zhao could still pretend that he was alright. Now that he met someone like Xu Mo, although he was not happy with Xu Mo's attitude towards him, when he saw Xu Mo's gaze, his heart did not feel reassured and his aura immediately weakened.

"Old Zhao, who is it?"

The lights on the second floor were already on. Soon, the lights on the first floor also lit up.

Old Zhao was just about to speak when Xu Mohei beat him to it. "Uncle Ning, it's Xiaoxiao and me!"

Just as Xu Mo finished speaking, Ning Weishan coughed. Old Zhao noticed that it was Ning Xiaoxiao who was in Xu Mo's arms. He didn't notice her at first, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ning Xiaoxiao.

Xu Mo rolled his eyes at Old Zhao and carried Ning Xiaoxiao into the main building.

"Young Master Xu, what's the matter so late at night?"

When Shao Qiyu was still inside the Ning family's mansion, one hand was involved in renovating it. Two people plus a main building, and Ning Weishan was wearing a moon-white pajamas as he stood at the first floor's stairs.

Ning Weishan smiled brightly as he looked at Xu Mo. Towards the young master of the Xu family, he still had plans to befriend him.

From the look on Ning Weishan's face, he must have just gotten out of bed, yet Ning Xiaoxiao had to put up such a difficult act just to get home.

Xu Mo indicated for Ning Weishan to look at his arms. Ning Weishan walked closer and the expression on his face changed.

Before Xu Mo could ponder over the meaning behind Ning Weishan's expression, a sweet voice came from upstairs.

"Master, who is it this late?"

A woman walked down from the second floor. She was wearing a cool dress which couldn't hide anything. Xu Mo coughed awkwardly, but the woman didn't seem to care at all. She walked over and took Ning Weishan's arm.
