Seeing this, Chu Xiao immediately smoothed things over, "A misunderstanding, everyone, this is all a misunderstanding. Don't mind it. Everyone eat well, drink well, and rest a bit. The charity auction will begin soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had gathered dispersed again.
Chu Meng had something shoved into her mouth, something completely unexpected. By the time she reacted, her mouth was already filled with the sweet fragrance of mango. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and inexplicably, her mood improved a little.
But she quickly realized that the candy wasn't given by someone else; it was Bai Xi who had stuffed it into her mouth!
How could she find something from an enemy to be sweet?
Thinking of this, she immediately pulled the lollipop out of her mouth and threw it fiercely on the ground, "Brother, she's bullying me."
Chu Xiao had not anticipated that Bai Xi would directly stuff a lollipop into Chu Meng's mouth, especially since she had been so decisive and efficient when dealing with those thugs who had kidnapped Han Rui.
However, fortunately, she hadn't made a physical move, otherwise, he truly wouldn't have known what to do.
"She's bullying you, by bullying you with a lollipop? Chu Meng, you are not a child anymore. You should understand some things by now." After saying this, he pulled her aside and whispered, "Xi... Miss Bai, didn't she just show you her name card? She's from the Dark Division, not someone's woman. Do you still not understand that one doesn't rise to power or gain benefits and favors by relying on someone?"
Moreover, he himself had once wanted to curry favor with her.
Chu Meng said Bai Xi relied on her looks and figure to get what she wanted, and he inexplicably felt a burning sensation on his face, as if Chu Meng were talking about him.
Chu Meng hesitated, then gritted her teeth slightly, "Brother, is she really from the Dark Division? But she's a woman."
From childhood, she had been taught to cherish her face, manage her figure, and present her best and most beautiful self to the man she liked, thereby winning his favor and living a sweet and happy life.
But Bai Xi... was not like that.
Han Rui, whom she liked and whom she deliberately tried to please, was willingly following behind her like a little follower.
She always felt that Bai Xi must have used some unspeakable, seductive tricks behind the scenes to make Brother Han Rui treat her so well, not giving up even though he knew she had a boyfriend. And she would use these seductive tricks to make her brother dote on her as well.
But now it seemed... that was not the case at all.
Whether it was her brother, Han Rui, or the man who had just shoved the invitation in her face.
They showed her no pampering or love, only respect and fear.
The essence of it was different.
Chu Xiao looked at Bai Xi's retreating back, his eyes deepening slightly, "Yes, she is a woman, just not an ordinary one."
He was almost certain that he would never meet a woman as special as Bai Xi in his entire life.
After saying this, he realized he was speaking in front of his sister and couldn't say such things. He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then said solemnly, "Now that you know, whether for your own safety or for the reputation and safety of our Chu family, do not provoke her again."
Chu Meng bit her lip and remained silent for a long time, only looking at Bai Xi, who had already walked far away.
Meanwhile, Bai Xi and her group of four had already walked a distance. Han Rui, with a wide smile, said, "Little Xi'er seems to be in a good mood today. Not only did she not punish her, but she even gave her a lollipop. That's quite generous."
Bai Xi said faintly, "Mango flavored."
Han Rui was stunned, "Is there any significance to that?"
Xuan Feng said indifferently, "Young Miss is allergic to mangoes."
Han Rui reacted, "Oh, so it's candy she won't eat herself. Wait, no, does a mango-flavored lollipop contain mango ingredients?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "I don't know about the ones you eat, but the ones I buy do. Do you have a problem with that?"
After saying this, she looked at Han Rui with slightly sharp eyes.
Han Rui immediately put on a fawning smile, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. How could I dare to have a problem with you, Young Miss!"
Bai Xi looked at Xuan Feng and said faintly, "Have everything been arranged?"
Xuan Feng nodded, "Rest assured, Young Miss, everything has been deployed."
Bai Xi nodded, but her brows furrowed slightly.
This auction was hosted by the Chu family. If she interfered forcefully, she couldn't guarantee that the twisted perverts from the Kui Hall, who enjoyed scenes of bloodshed, wouldn't change their plans.
Therefore, she could only proceed in secret.
While preventing them from causing destruction, she would also uncover their deepest motives!
At this moment, she suddenly felt a warmth on her forehead. Looking up, she saw Han Mo's deep eyes.
Actually, these eyes were not gentle. When he wasn't smiling, he even looked a little proud. But whenever she looked at him, she felt an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
"Xi'er, don't frown. I'm here."
Bai Xi's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed due to the warmth between her brows and his soft murmur, "Mm, I'm glad I have you."
This sentence was her sincere gratitude.
After the incident today, Xuan Feng had gone to find the child who delivered the doll.
As expected, the child also showed symptoms of poisoning.
Because he was just a child, many people were not on guard, and within a short period, over a dozen people had been exposed. These dozen people were controlled by fully armed Dark Division members. Each of them progressed from infection to the onset of symptoms in no more than fifteen minutes.
Frenzied, bloodthirsty, screaming... even when restrained and unable to move, they were still struggling desperately. Han Mo had studied the characteristics of this poison. Once infected, one could not eat or drink, only attack and bite others frantically.
Therefore, even though the poison itself was not fatal, if one was infected and not treated, they would not survive for three days.
An ordinary person, without moving or drinking, could only last three days. However, with this poison, even when restrained, their blood circulation and consumption rates were twice as fast as normal people. Judging by this, without intravenous fluid replenishment, they would likely die of dehydration within a day and a half.
And the child who delivered the message wouldn't even last two days.
Originally, she had planned to attend the charity auction herself and have Han Mo prepare the antidote at the Han family.
However, Han Mo had taken only two hours to prepare the antidote. After administering it to these people, they gradually regained consciousness.
Han Mo's professionalism in the medical field exceeded her imagination. It seemed that the medical saint's skills in China would be even more remarkable.
The Kui Hall was adept at using poisons and possessed some strange killing techniques.
With him around, she was indeed much more at ease.
Seeing Bai Xi's relaxed expression, Han Mo's mood also relaxed, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask, what exactly happened between you and the Kui Hall."
The Kui Hall was an organization from outside the region. He knew a little about this organization, but not much. Most of the time, Xi'er stayed in China. Even when she left China for missions, it shouldn't have led to such targeting from the Kui Hall.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Kui Hall had intentions to target China, they wouldn't have specifically released news to Xi'er, the War God of the Dark Division.
Rather than having intentions towards China, it looked more like... a provocation specifically targeting Xi'er as an individual.
