Chapter 766: Chapter 745: You Think Anyone Can Be an Antidote (1)_1

Xiao Muli’s assistant took a deep breath before saying to Xiao Muli in the room, "BOSS, I’ve already called Miss Situ, and she said she’s on her way." After finishing, Xiao Muli’s assistant paused and then said, "BOSS, do you want me to call our family doctor to come and see if there is any way to counteract the medicine?"

"No need. Just stand guard at the door," Xiao Muli replied. He could no longer bear the irritation caused by the drug coursing through his body and stumbled into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, doused his head with cold water, and felt the chill.

As the cold water poured down, Xiao Muli involuntarily shivered. This method seemed somewhat effective; it cleared his head considerably, and his rationality gradually returned. However, the intense heat within his body remained, relentless and unextinguishable.

This sensation let Xiao Muli know that the aphrodisiac’s effect was still present and was, in fact, getting stronger bit by bit.

Xiao Muli didn’t know why the first thought that flashed across his mind when the aphrodisiac took effect was to have his subordinate call Situ Xin and inform her of the situation. He also didn’t know why he had done so. Right now, he lacked the energy to contemplate the potential implications of his actions.

What he was thinking at the moment was that it was best not to find out who was behind this. But if he did find out, he swore he would teach that person the meaning of a fate worse than death.

Meanwhile, in another part of the estate, Situ Xin hung up the phone without even having time to change out of her nightgown. She grabbed a thin jacket, threw it over her nightgown, and rushed out.

The usually comfortable Baibai was suddenly pulled from bed by Situ Xin. "Baibai, hurry, revert to your original form. We need to rush to the Xiao Family Ancestral House; Muli has been drugged," Situ Xin said as she put on her bag for camouflage and couldn’t afford to forget it.

Baibai, who had been listening to Situ Xin’s phone call, knew the urgency of the situation and how anxious its master was. So, instead of its usual dawdling and playfulness with Situ Xin, Baibai transformed back into its original form.

Then, Baibai turned to Situ Xin and said, "Master, please get on. Let’s leave immediately."

"Alright," Situ Xin leaped onto Baibai’s back. Baibai’s true form had grown larger since its advancement. It wouldn’t fit through the window of Situ Xin’s room. Fortunately, Baibai could adjust its size at will. So, as Baibai leaped out of the window with Situ Xin on its back, it shrank just enough to pass through the window.

"Baibai, use your fastest speed this time. We have to get there as soon as possible," said Situ Xin, sitting on Baibai’s back, not taking the time to admire the nighttime scenery of Capital City. Instead, she leaned down close to Baibai’s ear to issue her command.

"Master, I understand. But you must hold on well," Baibai responded, accelerating. If it weren’t for Situ Xin on its back, anyone else might have been screaming in fear at Baibai’s speed.

At the moment, Situ Xin had no time for distractions. She was praying in her heart, hoping Xiao Muli could hold on until she arrived and that nothing would happen to him.

As Baibai flew along, it suddenly thought of an essential question and asked Situ Xin, "Master, do you know where Xiao Muli is right now?" It remembered its master only mentioned the Xiao Family Old Mansion, but Xiao Muli wouldn’t be affected by the aphrodisiac there.

"I forgot to ask." Baibai’s question reminded Situ Xin that in panic after receiving the call from Xiao Muli’s assistant, she had forgotten to ask the most crucial question. Xiao Muli’s assistant, flustered because of his boss’s predicament, had also forgotten. "I’ll call and ask."

Situ Xin picked up the phone, intending to call Xiao Muli’s assistant, but then she decided to dial another number – Wu Qing’s. Since The Dark Division’s successful acquisition of the Gu Family’s corporation, Situ Xin had assigned Wu Qing and the competent members of The Dark Division to report for duty at the company.

Because the company had just been acquired and was not yet fully operational, The Dark Division had a significant presence there. Thus, Situ Xin’s first thought was to contact Wu Qing to find Xiao Muli’s current location and, at the same time, to investigate who was behind this.

More importantly, Situ Xin intended to personally deal with those who dared to target Xiao Muli this time.

The Dark Division, seasoned in battle and experienced outside their stronghold, was efficient. Within five minutes of receiving the call from Situ Xin, they had ascertained Xiao Muli’s whereabouts and conveyed the specific address to Situ Xin.

As for the investigation into the entire incident, Wu Qing stated it was underway.

In the hotel room’s bathroom, Xiao Muli let the cold water wash over his head. Gradually, however, the refreshing effects of the water waned, and his head, which was clear moments before, began to cloud again. Xiao Muli couldn’t refrain from vigorously shaking his head in an attempt to regain clarity.

But aside from the scattering droplets shaken from his hair, his sanity was steadily being overwhelmed by the drug. Gritting his teeth, Xiao Muli exclaimed, "Damn it! What kind of aphrodisiac is this that its effects haven’t subsided over time, but have become even stronger?" After roaring in frustration, "Agh!" he gripped his thigh tightly. Though the cold water was no longer effective, he thought the intense pain might at least briefly clear his mind.

Outside the hotel room, Xiao Muli’s assistant paced back and forth in front of the door, his face full of worry and anxiety. He mumbled to himself incessantly, "BOSS, you mustn’t let anything happen to you." He knew that should anything happen to his BOSS today, it wouldn’t just mean the loss of his job. It could mean the loss of his life. However, today’s incident was also a negligence on his part as an assistant; he should not have let his BOSS be drugged.
