Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Tretracted my hand that was holding the clothes. Banxia immediately tensed up. I could feel her hand reaching for the dress.

I lowered my voice and said, “Take it and try it secretly. Don’t let Mai Qi and others see it. Not even Daisy! She will scold you!”

Banxia nodded slightly. She took the clothes from my hand and left in a daze.

Mai Qi probably forced Banxia to come to apologize to me, but she came to do something else instead.

Three days later, Banxia set off the first round of signal flares on the beach.

I stood on the balcony and looked at the fireworks. She lied to Daisy and told her that she released these fireworks to make me happy. I told Lu Heng, “She said the flares were moved to the ship by Sea Wolves.”

Lu Heng smiled bitterly. “Miss, at the time, we didn’t even have the time to consider these things. We wouldn’t have the time to move the signal flares. If we had time, we would have used to it to save more of our brothers.”

“Could it be that some of the Sea Wolves had moved the flares onto the ship without you knowing?” I looked at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng shook his head decisively. “No! If you ask me, the flares have been on the ship before the Sea Wolves took over the ship. I believe every ship on that island had the signal flares on them. The Sea Wolves have never touched these things. Miss, I can guarantee that with my life.”

“There’s no need for that.” I smiled. “This is not so important that I need you to bet your life on it. Plus, I’m still counting on you to save me when I’m in danger. Why would you put your life on the line for a few signal flares?”

Lu Heng didn’t say anything else.

“Say. Do you think uncle and Ma Ji will really come after seeing these flares?” The unique ‘fireworks’ had already dissipated in the night sky.

Lu Heng said in a deep voice, “Miss, this is a signal flare that sir personally developed. He only said that they would be used in emergency situations, but I’ve never seen them before.”

Iwas a little surprised. After thinking about it, it was within reason.

Tasked Lu Heng to keep a close eye on Banxia. After he left, I slowly stretched my back. The wound on my back had almost healed. The new flesh had grown out, and it was very itchy.

Banxia still lost her patience. I wondered if she could find Ma Ji for me. Perhaps it was because Banxia couldn’t stand being around me.

‘Mai Qi and Jing Ni rushed in. “Nanxing, something happened.”

“Nanxing, Mr. Li just sent someone to report that he smelled a familiar poison in the air. There must be something wrong with Banxia’s fireworks.”

I couldn’t help but change my expression.

When I thought about how Lu Heng said that those fireworks were personally developed by my uncle, I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart.

Ma Ji must have helped develop them.

“How is it now? Is anyone poisoned?” I hurriedly asked.

Mai Qi nodded. “Mr. Li has a way to cure the poison, but Nanxing, he needs your help.”

The two of them looked at me with heartache. I heaved a sigh of relief. “He needs my blood, right?”

“Nanxing.” The two of them hugged me together.

I smiled and pushed them away. “It’s not a big deal. Mr. Li won’t drain all my blood.”

Jing Ni’s tears fell. “Nanxing, you just recovered, and now you’re going to suffer again. You need to recover and not to donate blood.”

Mai Qi gnashed her teeth, “That wretched girl, I won’t forgive her!”

I comforted her. “Leave her for now. Get someone to replace the flares on the boat. Find ways to stop her from going to the beach. Most importantly, we have to make sure she doesn’t have any accomplices.”

Jing Ni said, “Don’t worry. Master Qi and your little uncle are watching everything. However, none of us predicted that the flares would be poisonous. This meant that everyone, ally and enemy alike, would be poisoned..”
