Chapter 9: My brother-in-law's complexion doesn't seem very good

At this moment, it felt like a dream. The person who had been away for six years was now standing right in front of her.

Her sudden reaction left Shi Xiao feeling bewildered, with a look of confusion on his face.

After a moment, he reached out and patted her head, then smiled and said, "Silly girl, I only went out of town for a month. I'm already back, aren't I?"

As he finished speaking, he noticed a cold gaze sweeping over him. He raised his head, glanced at the owner of the gaze for a moment, and then asked, "Brother-in-law, you don't look too good. Are you feeling unwell?"

Long Tingye pursed his lips and remained silent, but his expression showed some displeasure as he looked at Shi Weixia, who still held onto Shi Xiao's hand, his handsome and icy face clearly revealing a hint of annoyance.

...

"You've come at the right time. I have something to tell you," Shi Xiao put away his smile and suddenly looked serious as he gazed at Shi Weixia.

Hearing his words, Shi Weixia lifted her tear-stained face.

Shi Xiao lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Be careful of Xu Mochen."

Shi Xiao's words left Shi Weixia stunned.

At that moment, she finally understood who was trying to harm her brother...

Was it Xu Mochen, because her brother found out something?

"Alright, I have some things to take care of out of town. I'll treat you to something delicious when I come back," Shi Xiao glanced at the time on his watch and then turned to open the car door again.

Seeing this, Shi Weixia nervously reached out and grabbed his arm. "You can't! You can't get in this car!"

Seeing her so anxious, Shi Xiao looked puzzled.

"I dreamt last night that the brakes of the car you're driving were faulty..." Seeing Shi Xiao's confusion, Shi Weixia quickly made up an excuse and nervously said.

Hearing her words, Shi Xiao didn't take it seriously, but just smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's just a dream. It seems like you haven't been resting well lately. Remember to get some rest."

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Shi Weixia became anxious and gritted her teeth, "Anyway, you can't get in this car!"

Since she could prevent the tragedy from happening, she was determined not to let her brother get into trouble again!

At that moment, Long Tingye also saw through the situation and glanced at Mo Sui beside him.

"Check it."

"Yes!" Mo Sui nodded and then opened the door and got into the driver's seat.

Just as Shi Weixia was about to stop him, the car had already started, but it didn't speed up, just slowly slid forward.

After a couple of meters, the car slowly came to a stop.

Following that, Mo Sui opened the car door, got out, and then whispered to Long Tingye.

"Boss, the brakes failed!"

As Mo Sui spoke, Shi Xiao also showed a surprised expression.

"How is that possible? I clearly drove it yesterday."

"We'll have to wait until it's thoroughly checked to know what caused the problem." Mo Sui glanced at the car with the failed brakes and continued.

"I can only do this. Today, I'll take a taxi to handle my business first." Shi Xiao nodded, then looked at a nearby taxi approaching and hailed it.

The taxi slowly stopped, and just as Shi Xiao turned around to get in, he noticed that Shi Weixia had been tightly holding onto his arm, not letting him leave.
