Chapter 280 Fire
Mu Xiaoyu's mother has always been an extremely gentle person. Even though Mu Xiaoyu lived with her for more than ten years, she rarely spoke so much to Mu Xiaoyu at once like this.
It felt like giving my last words.
Mu Xiaoyu felt a sharp stinging and pain in her eyes. She didn't like this feeling, nor did she like what her mother had just said to her.
She took a deep breath, forced a smile at the person on the bed, and said, "I don't need your apologies. If you really feel guilty towards me, then you should live well."
After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Li Chenxu and said, "Brother Chenxu, go and call the doctor in."
Li Chenxu sensed that something was wrong with Mu Xiaoyu. He frowned, wanting to ask her something, but Mu Pengzheng's expression was becoming increasingly impatient. The knife pressed against Mu Xiaoyu's neck was also being pressed harder, and the color of blood on her neck could even be seen.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu had no time to think further, so he nodded and left the ward to call the medical staff.
Actually, there's a call button in the ward, so Li Chenxu doesn't need to go out at all. However, given the current situation in the ward, if the medical staff from the sanatorium were to suddenly enter, it would definitely cause chaos. Therefore, Li Chenxu has no choice but to go out and call the medical staff in himself.
"Now you can let me go, right?"
After Li Chenxu left, Mu Xiaoyu spoke to Mu Pengzheng.
At this moment, Mu Pengzheng's mood was slightly better than before. Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he did not immediately let go. Instead, he looked Mu Xiaoyu over thoughtfully for a moment, and finally chuckled, "Do you think I'm that stupid? Once your mother and I leave, I will naturally let you go."
Mu Xiaoyu was too lazy to waste any more words with Mu Pengzheng. It was obvious that this man was impervious to reason. Rather than wasting her breath, she would rather conserve her energy and wait for Mu Pengzheng to pay the least attention to her to find a breakthrough.
The medical staff arrived shortly afterward. It was clear that Li Chenxu had prepared them mentally beforehand. Even so, when they saw the situation inside the house after picking them up, the medical staff were still stunned for a moment.
Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu were very close together, and since he had already hidden the knife when the medical staff came in, there was nothing unusual on the surface.
Even so, the strange feeling emanating from them still lingered.
The attending physician looked at Mu Pengzheng with some strangeness, as if he wanted to ask something, but before he could speak, Li Chenxu suddenly stepped forward and separated the doctor from Mu Pengzheng.
The few of them are enough for now; we can't drag innocent people into this, especially at such a tense time.
“Mr. Li, have you really thought this through? If we remove these instruments now, all the efforts we’ve made before stopping treatment will have been in vain…”
"Just do it when I tell you to! Why are you asking so many questions?"
Mu Peng, his patience exhausted, glared fiercely and interrupted the attending physician.
He may look refined now, but the ruthlessness in his heart is impossible to hide. The medical staff present were mostly well-mannered people, and the people who came to the sanatorium were all prominent figures in society, so they were unlikely to do anything drastic.
Hearing Mu Pengzheng's voice, the medical staff were startled, but dared not say anything. They could only suppress their fear and quickly remove the various medical devices from Mu Xiaoyu's mother's body.
Their movements were methodical, but there were simply too many medical instruments on Mu Xiaoyu's mother's body, and it was impossible to fix them in a short time. Mu Peng's expression grew increasingly impatient.
At the same time, a series of urgent alarms suddenly sounded from every corner of the sanatorium.
"The sanatorium is on fire!"
The hospital staff paused, looking at Li Chenxu in horror. After just one glance, as the alarm grew louder, everyone couldn't help but scream, giving Mu Pengzheng and the others no chance to react, and scrambled to escape.
It was unclear how big the fire was, but when the medical staff ran out, thick smoke was seen drifting into the wards.
In less than a minute, the ward was filled with thick smoke. The people in the ward couldn't stand the smell and started coughing.
"You! Hurry up and pick him up, let's get out!"
At this moment, Mu Pengzheng could no longer remain calm. He had never truly faced death before, so he finally panicked in the face of this scene.
The smoke inside grew thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to see the people inside.
Upon hearing Mu Pengzheng's words, Li Chenxu's lips curled up in a barely perceptible manner.
He gave a soft "hmm," then walked to the bedside, reached out and picked up Mu Xiaoyu's mother, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry, both Xiaoyu and you will be fine."
He never makes promises intentionally, but once he does, he always keeps his word.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's mother glanced at Li Chenxu and lowered her voice, saying, "You've really worked hard."
Actually, it's not hard work at all. As long as Mu Xiaoyu is alright, he won't feel tired no matter what he does.
"Li Chenxu, let me tell you first, don't try any tricks at this time. If you dare to make any moves, I'll kill Mu Xiaoyu immediately!"
The smoke inside grew thicker and thicker, and even though Mu Peng was standing right next to Mu Xiaoyu, he could only barely make out Mu Xiaoyu. As for the others, they were completely invisible.
In addition, the smoke was so thick that he could barely open his eyes.
"At this point, why would I play any tricks? Look, I'm still holding someone in my arms."
As Li Chenxu spoke, a smile finally appeared on his lips. Before Mu Pengzheng could speak, he quickly carried Mu Xiaoyu's mother away from the ward.
Seeing this, Mu Pengzheng quickly grabbed Mu Xiaoyu and tried to follow, but after only a couple of steps, Mu Xiaoyu, whom he was holding, seemed to lose all strength and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Mu Pengzheng was also exhausted. Seeing this, he reached out to pull Mu Xiaoyu up. However, in the blink of an eye, Li Chenxu, who had suddenly left, returned and kicked Mu Pengzheng hard.
