Chapter 108 Returning to China
Chapter 108 Returning to the Country
Li Chenxu spent more than half a month in the hospital before he was finally discharged. However, his injuries had not fully healed, and he had broken bones in several places, including his hands and legs. There would be some aftereffects, and rainy days might even have some impact on his health.
When Li Chenxu heard the doctor say that, he didn't seem to care. As a grown man, a little injury was nothing to him, and even if it left any lingering health problems, it would be within his tolerance.
When Mu Xiaoyu heard these words, she immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
She had been taking care of Li Chenxu these past few days, bringing him joy every day, and always had a smile on her face. Suddenly seeing her so dejected, Li Chenxu felt extremely distressed.
He touched Mu Xiaoyu's face, thought for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead before saying, "It's okay, these things are nothing at all. Besides, you can just be more careful in the future."
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't as carefree as Li Chenxu thought. She glanced at him, and seeing his indifferent expression, asked somewhat discouragedly, "Weren't you investigating the person who caused the accident? Have you found out yet?"
Regardless of how Mu Xiaoyu acts in front of Li Chenxu, in front of others, she is still the same Mu Xiaoyu who is even more assertive and aloof than many women. If the previous car accident had been just a simple accident, she might not have said anything, and the police could have handled it.
But Li Chenxu and the others said that the car accident was deliberately designed to harm them. Whether it was to harm her or Li Chenxu, she didn't know. But one thing she was very clear about was that she wanted to know who the culprit was and wanted to bring the culprit to justice as soon as possible.
Moreover, this incident made Mu Xiaoyu realize that her current abilities were far from sufficient. Just as Li Chenxu wanted to protect her, she also wanted to protect Li Chenxu on many occasions.
Feelings are reciprocal; there is no inherently dominant or submissive party.
Li Chenxu wanted to give her the best, and she wanted to give him the best as well.
Li Chenxu roughly knew what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking, and he didn't want to hide anything from Mu Xiaoyu, so he thought for a moment and said, "The hit-and-run driver who fled earlier has been found, but he has become mute and illiterate, and cannot write at all. Our people showed the hit-and-run driver all the suspects, but none of them matched."
This means that almost a month has passed, and the person behind this still hasn't been found.
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu became even more silent, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. She didn't know the killer's true motives—whether they wanted to kill her and Li Chenxu, or had some other purpose. But since they hadn't succeeded this time, there was a high chance they would try again.
The memory of waking up in the hospital for the second time that day, seeing Li Chenxu pale and suffering in pain, is still deeply etched in Mu Xiaoyu's mind. She doesn't have the courage to endure such a thing a second time.
There's one more thing... something Mu Xiaoyu had almost forgotten.
In her past life, she was pushed off a building and died. When she was first reborn, she tried to find the murderer who killed her, Wu Qianru, as well as some other people she had conflicts with. However, after a period of time, those people learned their lesson and, at least on the surface, they were behaving themselves and didn't make any moves at all.
Could this car accident be related to the person who killed her?
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the heavier her heart became. She couldn't help but hold Li Chenxu's hand tightly and said nervously, "Chenxu, you must find the culprit as soon as possible. I don't want to see anything else happen to you. I really... can't bear it."
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's worry, Li Chenxu stared at her for a moment, then nodded solemnly and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely find the murderer."
He didn't care, he just didn't want to see Mu Xiaoyu looking so worried. His girl should be carefree, not living in fear like this...
Li Chenxu's main purpose in coming to Country D was to discuss business. Last time, he was worried about Mu Xiaoyu's safety and abandoned his business to pick her up at the airport, which led to the car accident. This time, Li Chenxu's business partner is a good friend of Li's father, who has had a long-standing relationship with the Li family. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Chenxu's actions this time, he didn't hold it against Li Chenxu because of the car accident.
Three days after Li Chenxu was discharged from the hospital, he discussed cooperation with the other party and signed an agreement.
Once the agreement and contract are signed, there's nothing else of great importance. It's just a matter of visiting the factory and understanding the necessary procedures. At most, I only need to stay for another three to five days before I can return home.
Both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu want to return to China as soon as possible. No matter how many acquaintances Li Chenxu has in D country, or how careful he is, it's not as safe as being in China.
Moreover, ever since Li Chenxu was discharged from the hospital, his father has called almost every day without fail, urging Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu to come home.
There was something Li Chenxu hadn't told Mu Xiaoyu: Xu Sulin's illness hadn't improved even after all this time. The Xu family had somehow communicated with Li's father, who kept urging Li Chenxu to go back soon. Plus, after the car accident, staying abroad any longer seemed unsafe.
This time, Li Chenxu did not object to his father's opinion. After finishing his business business, he took Mu Xiaoyu back to China.
A short month felt like a year. When Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu stepped into the capital again, she felt much more relaxed.
Standing outside the airport, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed, "Finally back! The food in Country D was just awful. I'm definitely going to have a big meal tonight."
"I can have a big meal, but... I'm afraid you might not have a good appetite tonight."
Li Chenxu held Mu Xiaoyu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly.
Li's father somehow obtained their flight information. Just as Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu got off the plane, Li Chenxu received a message from his father, asking them to have dinner at the Li family's main residence that evening.
It was supposed to be a meal, but for Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, it was definitely a trap that would turn into an unpleasant one.
