The man's words made Bai Xi frown.
The Kui Hall was the largest terrorist organization in the outer regions. When she was in the outer regions, she had clashed with people from the Kui Hall. That encounter had been extremely dangerous, but fortunately, the mission was completed successfully.
However, the Kui Hall came from the outer regions. Why had they come to China, and how had they managed to turn the man before her into a believer? Was all of this an accident, or was it a silent infiltration of China by the Kui Hall?
If it was the former, it would be fine.
But if it was the latter… it was likely that China would face immeasurable turmoil afterward!
She had to capture the man before her.
Thinking of this, she was about to make a move when the man before her collapsed.
As she moved to step forward, Han Mo grabbed her wrist: "He's dead, and he's carrying a potent poison. As soon as it touches the skin, life will be extinguished in an instant."
Bai Xi halted her actions. The body of the slight man began to melt, like a snowman under a scorching sun, slowly dissolving until only a pile of foul-smelling bloody water remained.
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about medicine."
Han Mo smiled and replied, "As a doctor, knowing about medicine can only be considered basic."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is this also the work of the esteemed physician, Old Master Gao?"
Han Mo smiled faintly, "Yes."
Bai Xi scrutinized Han Mo from all angles, then gently tapped the tip of his nose with her index finger, smiling, "I didn't expect… I accidentally picked up a treasure."
Skillful medical arts, high moral character, knowledge of pharmacology, and the ability to examine a corpse. Truly excellent!
Han Mo looked at Bai Xi, his gaze deepening, a hint of an unidentifiable emotion surging within.
Seeing his gaze, Bai Xi inexplicably felt a sense of danger again.
Why, why did she feel that Han Mo would not harm her, yet simultaneously sense he was extremely dangerous? What was this feeling?
Han Mo sensed her subtly shifting emotions and lowered his head slightly. His glasses effectively hid his expression as he said with utmost gentleness, "Then Xi'er must cherish me well."
Seeing his demeanor, Bai Xi immediately replied, "Naturally."
She had always been a responsible woman!
Just then, the burly man who had been holding the axe earlier made his move. His eyes were still bloodshot, and he scrambled up, lunging at Bai Xi and Han Mo.
Earlier, Bai Xi had only struck the Zaan Zhu acupoint on his face, which could cause temporary unconsciousness. When she saw him chasing and hacking at the slight man, she knew this man was not the killer.
While an extremely emotionally unstable person might indeed kill, at most they would hack wildly like this, but they wouldn't be able to orchestrate the scene so meticulously.
And although the Kui Hall member from before appeared to be under attack, fleeing in panic and crying for help, his voice was incredibly steady.
This was something a truly terrified person could not achieve.
Bai Xi pulled Han Mo and spun, evading the man's attack. Her hand transformed into a palm, striking the back of the man's neck. The man fainted again.
She glanced at the man lying on the ground, then at Han Mo, and asked, "Can this poison be neutralized?"
Han Mo stepped forward, took a pair of disposable medical gloves from his trench coat pocket, put them on, cupped the fallen man's face, and inserted a pill into his mouth. "Once he wakes up, the rest can be handed over to the security team."
Bai Xi nodded, "You are right."
The slight man had already turned into blood. There was no further danger here, and it could be left to the security team.
Now, she needed to contact the Intelligence Department to investigate the Kui Hall. If the Kui Hall had indeed infiltrated China, they were an extremely dangerous existence that must be guarded against.
Outside the haunted house, the security team captain was pacing like an ant on a hot pan.
Although the young lady had just said that the man was a high-ranking commander of the Intelligence Department, and dealing with a dangerous murderer should not be a big problem.
However, the responsibility weighed heavily on him.
If this high-ranking commander of the Intelligence Department were to die inside the haunted house, and he, like an idiot, had done nothing, his future would be ruined.
No, no, he couldn't wait. Even if they had told him to wait outside, he couldn't. Even if he wasn't very capable, he could at least offer his humble assistance by going inside.
"Security team, listen to my orders. Secretly infiltrate the haunted house to provide support..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xi and Han Mo emerged.
Seeing this, the security team captain immediately stopped his speech and went to meet them, "Are you two alright?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "We're fine, but we do need your support."
The security team captain was slightly taken aback and immediately pledged his loyalty, "If the Intelligence Department needs support, our security team will go all out, facing any danger, no matter what!"
His words were impassioned.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, "It's not that troublesome. Just temporarily seal off the entire amusement park, then move all the bodies from the haunted house out and await family identification."
The security team captain asked in confusion, "What about the murderer? Did he escape?"
If that were true, then M City would be very dangerous during this time.
Bai Xi said calmly, "The perpetrator has been apprehended. However, the situation is rather complex. A case report will be sent by the Intelligence Department tomorrow."
The matter of the Kui Hall was beyond the capabilities of local security. Even if it were explained, it would be of no use. But this was precisely the purpose of the Intelligence Department's existence.
Upon returning to the Bai family, Lin Yun and Bai Han were sitting on the living room sofa, their faces etched with worry. Seeing Bai Xi return, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yun stepped forward and hugged Bai Xi, saying, "Thank goodness you're alright."
Bai Qing's matter was still the deepest wound in her heart.
He was glorious and great; she knew it, and she respected it, but that pain still gnawed at her from time to time. Now, she saw the same radiance in Xi'er as in Bai Qing. She was proud of her, but couldn't help but worry about her.
Bai Xi smiled faintly and gently patted Lin Yun's back, "Mom, I'm fine. Ordinary people can't hurt me."
Lin Yun then released her, shaking her head helplessly, "You silly child."
Bai Xi added, "Mom, where is Tong Xiao Xiao?"
Lin Yun: "Tong Hua came to pick her up an hour ago. She was unwilling to leave and insisted on waiting for you to return. But Tong Hua was worried about her health and said she wanted to take her for a check-up. So I told her that after you returned, you would call her to let her know you're safe. You should call her back soon."
Hearing this, Bai Xi could vaguely imagine Tong Yao's fussy behavior at home. "Okay, I'll do it now."
Family, friends, and a partner… this kind of peaceful life was truly wonderful. Therefore, if anyone wanted to disrupt the peace of China, she would absolutely not allow it.
