Xu Mu returned to the car with a smile on his face. This overnight rush was not in vain.
Not only did he succeed in infecting Tong Guoguo with the Soul - Devouring Saint Gu, but he also created a rift between Yan Baizhi and Wu Tian.
Of course, compared with the matter of Yan Baizhi, Tong Guoguo was more important.
Currently, there was a Gu worm in her body. Xu Mu could control the Gu worm at any time to devour her qi.
That is to say, from now on, Tong Guoguo would be at his mercy.
He drove back to Jiangshi. It was already four o'clock in the morning when he got home. Xu Mu quietly pushed open the door and lay down again to rest.
Ye Tong felt the movement and immediately opened her eyes.
Seeing it was Xu Mu, she felt relieved. "Husband, you're back so soon?"
"Yeah, go back to sleep."
Xu Mu said softly.
Early the next morning.
Ye Tong opened her eyes first and saw Xu Mu in front of her.
Just a few seconds later, Xu Mu also woke up.
"Husband, when did you come back? No, I remember I was awake when you came back last night."
Ye Tong rubbed her eyes, but her memory of last night was a bit fuzzy.
"The place was a bit far away. Otherwise, I would have come back even faster."
Xu Mu stretched vigorously.
"Then you sleep a little longer. I'll get up first."
Ye Tong said with a smile.
Xu Mu nodded.
...
Meanwhile.
Yan Baizhi didn't sleep all night. After her body recovered, she walked alone towards the urban area and took a taxi home.
After taking a shower, she lay in bed.
She still couldn't fall asleep until dawn. There was only one picture in her eyes, that was Xu Mu covered in blood with a terrifying wound in front of him.
In many cases, to judge whether a person is sincere to you,
you shouldn't just look at what he has done for you, but what price he has paid for you.
Wu Tian saved Yan Baizhi, and she was very grateful to him.
But Wu Tian's rescue was just a piece of cake, just a by - the - way thing.
He didn't pay any heavy price.
Xu Mu also saved Yan Baizhi, but he almost lost his life.
Comparing the two, Yan Baizhi could still tell the difference.
After getting up, she simply combed her hair in front of the mirror and then went downstairs to the living room.
As usual, the servants had prepared breakfast.
While Yan Baizhi was having breakfast, a middle - aged man in a suit walked over quickly.
"Miss, Mr. Wu Tian is here."
After hearing this name, Yan Baizhi's expression became obviously unnatural.
However, she still said softly, "Let him in."
"Yes."
This middle - aged man immediately stepped back.
After a while, Wu Tian walked in quickly. When he saw Yan Baizhi, he said anxiously, "Baizhi, you almost scared me to death. I kept calling you yesterday, but you didn't answer."
Looking at Wu Tian's concerned look, for some reason, Yan Baizhi felt a little nauseous in her heart.
She forced a smile and said, "I fought with that woman yesterday, and my phone was broken. Brother Wu Tian, are you okay?"
"That woman is very strong. Her strength is at least in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm. She hit me seriously with one palm."
Wu Tian sighed deeply. "Baizhi, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you yesterday."
"It's okay. Brother Wu Tian was knocked into the river yesterday. I thought you fainted, but I was caught by the other side and couldn't go to save you."
Yan Baizhi looked at Wu Tian and said.
"I didn't faint. I climbed out of the river in the end."
When Wu Tian said this, his face was full of concern again. "What did that woman want to do by catching you?"
Yan Baizhi didn't answer immediately. Instead, she took a sip of black coffee first.
He didn't faint and climbed out of the river, but he never showed up again. It was enough to show that he either ran away or hid and watched her being caught.
Sure enough, it confirmed what Xu Mu had said. Wu Tian was smarter and afraid of death, so he didn't take action.
She shook her head slightly and then said, "That woman wanted to kill Xu Mu and used me to threaten him."
"Xu Mu? Sure enough, it's that bastard! If I'm not wrong, it was Xu Mu who did it!"
After thinking for a while, Wu Tian continued, "He let someone deliberately leak the fact that you have a good relationship with Xu Mu, so that this female killer would come to kill you."
"Really?"
Yan Baizhi asked softly. "But why would he send someone to kill me?"
"Because... he is my enemy."
When Wu Tian said this, he then said, "Sorry, Baizhi. It's my fault that I implicated you."
"No, Brother Wu Tian didn't understand what I meant. What I want to ask is, since you are his enemy, shouldn't he send someone to kill you?"
Yan Baizhi looked at Wu Tian. "Brother Wu Tian can't beat that woman. If that woman's target is you, I think your chance of survival is not very high, right?"
"Well... you have a point. Then what do you mean?"
"Actually, it wasn't Xu Mu who found the killer. There is someone else behind it."
Yan Baizhi thought a lot yesterday. It was impossible for Xu Mu to send someone to kill her.
She had no enmity with him. Moreover, she had promised to cooperate with the Xu family. There was absolutely no reason for him to do so.
Wu Tian said softly, "Maybe. Anyway, I still think Xu Mu is the most suspect."
Yan Baizhi sneered in her heart. She now increasingly thought that the real culprit behind it was Wu Tian.
"By the way, how were you released?"
Wu Tian continued to ask.
"I was..."
Just as Yan Baizhi was about to say, she closed her mouth.
If she told the truth that it was Xu Mu who saved her at the risk of his life,
Wu Tian would definitely say that Xu Mu did it on purpose and just wanted to play the hero to save the beauty.
But the battle scene yesterday, how could the two sides be acting?
On the contrary, the battle between Wu Tian and that woman was more like an act.
"I called the people from our sect by chance, and they rescued me."
Yan Baizhi said.
"I see. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm this time."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Baizhi, you'd better not go out today. I'm going to investigate the Cui family."
"Okay, be careful, Brother Wu Tian."
Yan Baizhi nodded. It was just right to send Wu Tian away, and she could go to Jiangshi to thank Xu Mu.
...
Ye Tong also made breakfast for Xu Mu. After she finished eating, she drove to the company.
Just as she left the gate of the villa area, she was blocked by a red - haired woman wearing sunglasses.
Ye Tong was so scared that she immediately stepped on the brake. She rolled down the window and shouted, "Are you okay?"
Tong Guoguo walked up to the window with a cold face. "Who are you to Xu Mu?"
"I'm his wife."
Ye Tong said with a smile. "May I ask who you are?"
"Let me get in the car, and I'll tell you."
Tong Guoguo walked around the front of the car to the passenger seat. She opened the door and took out a dagger, pressing it against Ye Tong's neck.
"Xu Mu is my enemy! I'm going to tear him to pieces!"
"Before that, can I park the car by the side of the road? If we keep blocking the exit, the cars behind won't be able to get out."
Ye Tong looked at Tong Guoguo and said.
Tong Guoguo nodded. She didn't want to cause too much of a stir unless it was absolutely necessary.
Ye Tong drove the car to the side of the road and then continued to ask, "Did Xu Mu bully you? If so, I'll take you to him right now. I'll make him apologize to you!"
Tong Guoguo looked at Ye Tong's sincere face and sneered, "Stop pretending! You're the wife of that bastard Xu Mu. You can't be a good person either!"
