Li family.

Hua Xi's room.

Hua Xi fell into a coma due to serious injuries and also developed a high fever.

At this moment, the Li family's live-in female doctor was treating her wounds and applying medicine.

Yi Mu was standing aside, leaning lazily in a chair, his eyes closed and his head tilted back, as if he was asleep.

Happy was lying at his feet, seemingly asleep as well.

Just when the female doctor thought Yi Mu had fallen into a deep sleep, she quietly took out the mobile phone from her pocket and prepared to send a message to someone.

However, just after typing a word, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "What are you doing?"

This sudden question frightened the female doctor so much that her hand trembled and her cell phone slipped and hit the ground with a bang, which was particularly loud in the quiet room.

Happy opened his eyes and called out to the female doctor twice in dissatisfaction.

The female doctor pretended to be calm, picked up the phone, and explained: "Mr. Yi, let me check the time."

Yi Mu tilted his head slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and stared at the female doctor sharply: "Do you need to look at the time to treat the disease?"

The female doctor felt uneasy when Yi Mu stared at her. She unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes and stammered, "I, I'm used to it."

Yi Mu seemed too lazy to expose her, closed his eyes again, and said coldly: "Get out after the treatment."

The female doctor felt that Yi Mu was not someone that could be easily dealt with, so she had to give up her mission and quickly packed up and left.

The room fell into silence again.

Outside the hospital, Shen Kun, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the female doctor coming out in a hurry. He frowned and asked her, "Didn't you find a chance?"

The female doctor kept shaking her head: "Master Yi is too perceptive. He noticed my movements as soon as I made them. I dare not take the risk and can only give up."

Shen Kun looked unhappy and scolded: "What a waste! You can't even do such a small thing."

The female doctor was timid and did not dare to refute.

Shen Kun waved his hand: "Forget it, there is nothing for you to do here, go back."

The female doctor felt as if she had been granted amnesty and quickly left with her medical box.

Shen Kun turned his gaze towards the courtyard, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes: I want to see how long you can keep watch over her.

Not long after Shen Kun left, Moni came.

Although the four great families intended to conceal the news of the Beast King's appearance, Jue Jing was right next to Giant Beast Ridge. With such a big commotion happening over there, it was impossible for Jue Jing to be unaware of it.

Upon learning that a beast king suddenly appeared in Giant Beast Ridge and many children from various families were injured, Moni thought of Hua Xi first and hurriedly called her to ask if she was injured, but no one answered the call.

She immediately realized that something was wrong. Something must have happened to Hua Xi, so she hurried to the Li family.

The Li family's guard recognized her identity and did not stop her. Mo Ni went straight to Hua Xi's room.

When she opened the door and saw Hua Xi lying on the bed with a pale face, Mo Ni's heart suddenly tightened.

"Oh my God, how could he be injured so badly?" Mo Ni quickly walked to the bedside and carefully examined Hua Xi's wounds. Every time she found a wound, the pain in her eyes increased.

His anger built up, and finally, regardless of the fact that this was the Li family's territory, he cursed, "Is it that old man Li Qingchi who did this? I'm going to fight him!"

"It's not him." Yi Mu said.

He didn't open his eyes the whole time.

"But you can also go to him. He has something to do with this matter."

Yi Mu was sure that the Beast King was not created by Li Qingchi. He was at the scene and saw it clearly. Li Qingchi's shock when he saw the Beast King was genuine. Obviously, the appearance of the Beast King was beyond his expectations.

"Who else could it be if not him? Is there someone else who wants to harm Hua Xi?" Mo Ni was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

Yi Mu was too lazy to explain the matter of the aliens to Moni, so he kept quiet.

Mo Ni frowned and looked at the unconscious Hua Xi, "No, we can't let her stay here any longer. Something might happen. I want to take her back to the desperate situation."

Mo Ni was really worried about leaving Hua Xi at the Li family to recuperate.

Yi Mu said, "Sure, as long as you can take it out."

He didn't know what Li Qingchi was going to do to Hua Xi, but he was sure that he wanted Hua Xi to get hurt, so Li Qingchi would never let Hua Xi go easily.

Now, there are several times more eyes monitoring around this courtyard than usual, in order to prevent anyone from taking Hua Xi away.

Mo Ni understood the meaning behind Yi Mu's words and her expression became even more serious.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" She clenched her fists, her voice full of resentment.

Yi Mu: “Otherwise?”

In the current situation, we don’t know what Li Qingchi is going to do, but we can’t leave here. All we can do is defend.

Moni was stumped by the question, what else could she do?

Compared with the aristocratic family, her power is too small.

But this did not stop her from cursing: "Li Qingchi is such an inhuman thing. Hua Xi is his granddaughter, how could he be so heartless!"

Yi Mu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Mo Ni paced around the room anxiously: "This won't work, and that won't work either. I'll stay, at least I can take care of Hua Xi."

Yi Mu said calmly: "If you feel you have lived enough, then stay."

He said this not because he cared about Mo Ni's life, but because he didn't want her to get in the way, so that he would have to take care of Hua Xi and her at the same time.

Mo Ni could tell that Yi Mu disliked her and glared at him.

It’s amazing to be at level nine in martial arts.

Truly remarkable.

Moni's self-assessment was correct. If something really happened later, she would not only be unable to help, but might even be a hindrance.

"I understand. I'm leaving." Moni was deflated.

Yi Mu: “No.”

"..."

Moni turned and left angrily.

Yi Mu still kept his eyes closed and rested, and Happy lay obediently beside him without making any noise.

The sun gradually moved to the west, and night gradually swallowed the earth.

Late at night, a dark shadow avoided the sight of the observers and landed silently in the yard.

Yi Mu and Happy opened their eyes at the same time.

Happy stood up suddenly, but after a few seconds, he lay down again.

Seeing this, Yi Mu realized that the person coming was not an enemy.

The window was gently pushed open a crack, and Yi Mu said calmly: "The door is not locked."

Signal the visitor to go through the main door.

The person outside the window seemed to pause for a moment, then the window closed again, and then the door was gently pushed open.

A tall man walked in.

Yi Mu saw his face clearly, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and said, "I'll give you ten minutes."

After saying that, he took a step and was about to leave the room.

At the moment when the two passed each other, the man spoke: "You don't blame me?"

Yi Mu stopped and said, "Strange, what happens next? Can she come back to life?"

Although they said this, they knew in their hearts that they were just chess pieces on Hua Chaochao's chessboard. She wanted to stage this fake death drama, and no one could stop her.

Ji Xianchen was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry."

Yi Mu didn't respond and just left.

Happy followed him out of the room.

There were only two people left in the house at this time.

Ji Xianchen walked to Hua Xi's bedside, staring at her face, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness.

"Is this your plan?"

Knowing that the Li family was a dangerous place, he still took the risk to go deep into it, not hesitating to let himself be injured. Lying here, he could not wake up.

Ji Xianchen also has spies in the Li family.

When he received the news that Hua Xi was seriously injured, he was once impulsive and wanted to kill Li Qingchi.

His fists were clenched so tightly that the joints looked pale from the excessive force.

But he couldn't act rashly, for fear of disrupting her plans.

"A few days ago, I saw Qi Ce." Ji Xianchen muttered to himself.

"He is not dead. Someone is faking his death. It could be those noble families. He took the blame for them. He did not arrest those teenagers. He must know something."

When Ji Xianchen first heard that Qi Ce kidnapped those young men for drug testing, he didn't quite believe it and felt that things were not that simple.

It was not until a few days ago when he saw Qi Ce outside Xuan Palace that he became more convinced that Qi Ce was innocent.

If he really killed those young men, the noble family would not spare his life. Only by taking the blame could he have a chance to survive.
