Chapter 281 Rescue
Both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's actions were very sudden. In addition, because of the fire, Mu Pengzheng was already a little flustered, so his vigilance was much weaker than before.
Mu Xiaoyu seized this opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, Li Chenxu was also waiting for this opportunity. Almost as soon as he went out, he saw the commotion on Mu Pengzheng's side and immediately kicked Mu Pengzheng hard.
Mu Pengzheng couldn't dodge in time and was kicked into the corner of the ward by Li Chenxu. Li Chenxu didn't hold back any force in this kick; Mu Pengzheng fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
"Everyone come in!"
As Li Chenxu quickly picked up Mu Xiaoyu, he sternly said to the people outside.
The next second, a large number of people suddenly poured into the ward. Most of them were wearing police uniforms, and some of them were also bodyguards of the Li family. The small ward was instantly filled with so many people.
Without any hesitation, they entered and immediately arrested Mu Pengzheng.
"Li Chenxu! You treacherous villain, you liar!"
At this point, even if Mu Pengzheng was slow to grasp the situation, he would understand what was going on. From the moment Li Chenxu arrived at the rooftop, he had already made all the preparations, or rather, he had made all the preparations even before Mu Pengzheng kidnapped Mu Xiaoyu today.
Even that fire just now was fake!
Hearing Mu Pengzheng's insults, Li Chenxu was not angry at all. He just glanced at Mu Pengzheng coldly and said in a cold voice, "There is no need to keep your word with someone like you!"
After saying this, Li Chenxu pursed his lips, picked up Mu Xiaoyu, and quickly walked out of the ward.
Even though Mu Xiaoyu was wearing thick clothes, you could tell from her complexion how bad her condition was!
At this moment, Li Chenxu had no time to care about anyone else. He carried Mu Xiaoyu quickly into the doctor's office and asked the doctor to treat Mu Xiaoyu.
How is my wife?
From the moment Li Chenxu hugged Mu Xiaoyu, Mu Xiaoyu seemed to have found a support and immediately fainted. Even so, one of her hands was still tightly gripping Li Chenxu's clothes, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, holding on tightly.
The doctor was examining Mu Xiaoyu at the moment. After finishing the examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Li Chenxu, "Mr. Li, don't worry, Madam is fine. She just needs to take some medicine and rest well."
As the doctor spoke, he called the nurse in to bandage the wound on Mu Xiaoyu's waist.
Mu Xiaoyu is indeed fine, except for a high fever. Fortunately, the fever didn't last long and didn't develop into pneumonia. With some medicine and IV fluids, she will gradually get better.
Even though the doctor said something that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't, Li Chenxu's tightly furrowed brows didn't relax even a little. He held Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly, and with his other hand, he kept touching Mu Xiaoyu's burning forehead, his brows furrowed with anxiety.
As the IV drips were almost finished and he could still feel the burning sensation on Mu Xiaoyu's forehead, Li Chenxu finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Didn't you say you were fine? Why hasn't your fever gone down yet!"
Li Chenxu had never seen Mu Xiaoyu like this before. She appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually extremely anxious inside. Now, her aura was so low that it was frightening to look at.
The nurse who was changing Mu Xiaoyu's water trembled with fright when she heard Li Chenxu's words. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Mu Xiaoyu, who had been unconscious, slowly wake up.
“Brother Chenxu…”
Mu Xiaoyu opened her mouth, her voice hoarse beyond belief. Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's voice, Li Chenxu immediately turned around, poured a glass of water, and then gently moistened Mu Xiaoyu's lips with a cotton swab before speaking.
"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, her hand, which wasn't receiving an IV drip, still tightly gripping Li Chenxu's, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Chenxu, my mother..."
"The aunt is fine and is currently in another ward."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then continued after a few seconds: "The fire before was fake; I deliberately had it done. Mu Pengzheng has also been arrested. This time, his case has attracted the attention of those above, and after being caught this time, he will probably only face the death penalty."
Hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She gave Li Chenxu a forced smile, then slowly raised her hand to stroke his furrowed brows, and said with a pained expression, "Were you frightened by me back then?"
He was more than just frightened. Especially when he saw Mu Peng holding a knife to Mu Xiaoyu, the pain and worry in Li Chenxu's heart at that moment were indescribable.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he didn't say anything. He simply took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, kissed it, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault. I didn't protect you well enough, and you were in danger again."
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately became displeased. She pouted and looked helplessly at Li Chenxu, saying, "Brother Chenxu, you have protected me well enough. This time, I was too negligent. Strictly speaking, I am the one who dragged you down. Are you trying to make me feel bad by saying this?"
After pausing for a few seconds, Mu Xiaoyu didn't give Li Chenxu a chance to speak before continuing, "Besides, as long as we're all alright, that's fine. What happened before is over and done with. Besides, there's no point in bringing it up, is there?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, Mu Xiaoyu covered his mouth with her hand.
"Okay, I know what you're going to say, stop talking. My head is still spinning. Go to the ward and see how my mom is doing. I haven't seen her for years, and I don't know how to face her..."
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she yawned, pretending to be fine, and then stopped looking at Li Chenxu, closing her eyes to rest.
Seeing her like this, Li Chenxu naturally couldn't say anything more. After hesitating for a few seconds, he could only quietly leave the ward and go to Mu Xiaoyu's mother's ward instead.
At that moment, Li Chenxu carried Mu Xiaoyu's mother out of the previous ward and immediately went to another ward.
Because of the reasons explained in advance, the doctor in the next ward was prepared, and things are basically the same as usual now, so nothing has happened.
