Han Cai was stunned and immediately asked, "Mr. Han, are you alright?"
Han Mo came to his senses, looked up, and beneath the metal-rimmed glasses was a calm smile. "I'm fine."
Han Rui raised an eyebrow, his beautiful phoenix eyes filled with understanding.
Fine? He probably had a sea of jealousy churning in his heart.
Han Cai wasn't stupid; he had a rough idea of what was going on. However, although he was older, his status and position were vastly different from the God of War before him. How could he inquire about someone's romantic affairs?
He could only turn to Uncle Zhang and say, "Old Zhang, hurry and clean up Mr. Han. Be thorough."
Uncle Zhang immediately stepped forward to clean.
Bai Xi glanced faintly at Han Mo. Seeing that Han Mo was also looking at her, and after a long pause, he showed no intention of speaking. She turned her gaze back to Xuan Feng. "Where is the person?"
Xuan Feng replied indifferently, "They are in City M."
Bai Xi nodded. "Good, then prepare yourself. We'll depart in the afternoon."
Xuan Feng received the order and left.
Han Rui stepped forward with a smile and said, "Little Xi'er, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Now that the person has been found, are they going to escape? Stay in Shangyang for a few more days. The matter of the Kui Hall hasn't been investigated, and you said you wanted to help our Han family restore their reputation, but it hasn't been restored yet. If you leave now, wouldn't that be irresponsible?"
Bai Xi thought about it carefully and raised an eyebrow slightly. "In that case, how about I leave Xuan Feng and Han Mo with you?"
Han Rui clicked his tongue slightly.
He had always known Bai Xi was a straightforward woman, but he never expected her to be such an incorrigible, steel-plated straight woman.
Leave Han Mo with him? He wanted to, but... before he could even think about it, he felt a chill down his spine.
Even without turning around, he knew where the cold air was coming from.
He gave an awkward smile and said, "Hahaha, Xuan Feng can stay, but take your Han Mo with you."
Keeping Han Mo here would be good; he could slowly extract all sorts of medicinal formulas. However, if he dared to speak now, he wouldn't get any more formulas in the future.
It made sense. His girlfriend was going to meet the person who was willing to "offer themselves in exchange for repayment" as a life-saver. What man could tolerate that?
He decided to silently mourn for Han Mo for a minute.
As soon as Han Rui finished speaking, Han Mo gently put down the coffee cup he had been holding and said with a smile, "It's no use for me to stay. Xi'er, let me accompany you back to City M. I miss Aunt Lin and Xiao Han a little."
Life-saver...
So Bai Xi had come to Shangyang precisely to meet this so-called life-saver. And before... Han Rui had impersonated Xi'er's life-saver using his mind-reading ability.
No wonder he dared to confess his feelings to Xi'er when he arrived.
So, this was how he approached Xi'er.
Thinking of this, he slightly lowered his head and gently pushed his metal glasses up his nose with his bone-articulated fingers. Beneath the glasses... his gaze was one of extreme coldness.
Han Rui inexplicably felt that his back was getting colder.
What was going on... Brother, he had been speaking up for him!
Bai Xi turned to look at Han Mo. "Since that's the case, you'll come back to City M with me."
After speaking, she looked at Xuan Feng again. "You stay here to help the Han family restore their reputation, and also inspect the Han family."
Xuan Feng frowned slightly. "Young Miss, I want to return to City M with you to protect your safety."
Bai Xi said faintly, "Don't worry, I am very safe."
Xuan Feng frowned but said no more.
Bai Xi understood. When Xuan Feng came last time, he had said he wanted to stay by her side from now on.
He wanted to repay her kindness, the kindness of her insisting on sparing his life and keeping him in the Dark Department. In fact, after all these years of completing Dark Department missions at the risk of his life, that kindness had long been repaid.
And... perhaps he actually wanted to stay here now.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi glanced faintly at Han Rui.
"The Kui Hall used the Han family to transport illegal drugs into China. This matter is not over. Investigate all the goods that Han Zheng and Han Fang transported from the outer territories. Be sure to thoroughly check what exactly they are and approximately how much has flowed into China. I don't trust anyone else with this."
The medicine used by Cao Jian was indeed very dangerous.
However, the quantity was not large. She didn't believe the Kui Hall would undertake such a small matter.
As soon as she said this, Xuan Feng's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. "Yes, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Please rest assured, Young Miss."
Bai Xi nodded. "Oh, and don't forget to tell me the address of the person you found in City M."
Xuan Feng immediately replied, "He is a native of City M. After saving the Young Miss, he studied in the capital for six years and returned to City M half a month ago. He is currently living at Royal Court Villa, number 121. I have verified the specific details, and they are exactly as you described, Young Miss."
Bai Xi's expression was calm, and she nodded.
However, Han Mo, standing behind Bai Xi, slightly frowned.
He wanted to see who this man was who dared to impersonate Xi'er's life-saver, and what his intentions were.
Shortly after, a helicopter landed outside the Han family villa.
Han Cai looked at Bai Xi and Han Mo, a hint of reluctance on his face. "Young Miss, take care. Dr. Han, take care."
With them gone, the Han family villa would become lonely again after finally being lively.
Han Rui saw Han Cai's expression and knew what he was thinking. "Grandpa, don't be so sad. After the Young Miss finishes her business in City M, she might come to Shangyang to play again."
Han Cai's eyes reddened even more. "Really?"
He said this while looking at Bai Xi.
Bai Xi reached out and held Han Cai's hands. "Yes, Grandpa Han, I will come again when I have time. Perhaps next time I come, I will bring someone else."
Han Rui frowned and glanced at Han Mo, whose expression was not very good. "Don't bring your life-saver, she's your benefactor, but not mine. Also, Dr. Han saved all of us in the tomb, including you. Don't let him down."
He had always felt that Han Mo looked at him unfavorably, so he had to say a few good words for him.
After all, he was now his partner, and even more so, his friend.
Bai Xi said faintly, "The person I'm talking about is my brother."
Han Rui smiled even more brightly, and while smiling, he couldn't help but glance triumphantly at Han Mo. "Your brother, that's fine. You're welcome to visit. Our family might not be a prominent clan, but we have plenty of guest rooms. Even if your mother wants to come for a vacation, we will host her well."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. "So much nonsense."
After another round of pleasantries, Bai Xi and Han Mo finally boarded the plane.
As they were about to part, Han Rui gently tugged at Han Mo's clothes and whispered in his ear, "Dr. Han, don't be angry. Little Xi'er is just saying it. She won't really offer herself in exchange for repayment."
