Chapter 1490

In the main house living room, the Old Madam and Bei Qingyue sat on the sofa, discussing the assassination attempt on the old man.

Bei Qingyue was originally out of town, but rushed back upon hearing about the attack on her father.

She had just arrived.

“Mom, who on earth has such audacity?”

The Old Madam said slowly, “Right now, we suspect that person named Guisu.

He’s Miss Sima’s subordinate, but there’s no real evidence.”

“Did anyone check the surveillance footage?”

“We checked it early on, but the person is either too familiar with our security system or is exceptionally skilled.

Nothing was captured on the footage.”

A layer of confusion fell over Bei Qingyue’s face as she spoke softly, “This Guisu is Miss Sima’s man.

Why would he want to assassinate Dad?”

The Old Madam sighed and said, “That’s what I can’t figure out either.

He even injured Miss Sima.

I feel there’s something fishy about this.”

As they were speaking, Nangong Yun hurriedly came in from the yard.

Upon reaching the living room and seeing Bei Qingyue also there, she paused slightly.

“Mom, you’re back.”

Bei Qingyue nodded and said gently, “Just arrived.

Yun’er, have you found out anything?”

“I…”

Nangong Yun knew what Bei Qingyue was referring to.

She was about to speak but changed her mind as something flashed across her mind.

“I’m still investigating. There’s nothing specific yet.”

While talking to Bei Qingyue, she glanced at the Old Madam.

Bei Qingyue sensed that Nangong Yun seemed to have something to say.

She looked at the Old Madam and said softly.

“Mom, you’ve worked hard. Now that I’m back, let me handle this matter. You take a good rest.”

The Old Madam indeed felt exhausted.

She had been up since early morning, from accompanying the old man to the medical room till now, without a moment’s rest.

With such a major incident, it’s crucial to catch the culprit as soon as possible.

However, up till now, Guisu was only a suspect without substantial evidence.

“Alright, I’ll go rest. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Bei Qingyue nodded and helped the Old Madam to stand up.

Lan immediately stepped forward, reaching out to support the Old Madam as they headed to the room.

After the Old Madam left, Bei Qingyue sat back down, looked at Nangong Yun, and said plainly, “What did you find?”

Nangong Yun walked to the sofa, sat down, and said softly, “Mom, look.”

Saying this, Nangong Yun handed a small object to Bei Qingyue.

It was a silver crescent pendant, small and exquisitely made, evidently not as ordinary as typical street stall goods.

“This is…”

“This item was found by security in the yard.”

Paused for a moment, Nangong Yun glanced at Bei Qingyue’s expression and said quietly, “It’s Guisu’s.”

Bei Qingyue just looked up at Nangong Yun, her eyes showing no ripples.

She said flatly, “How do you know it’s his?”

“Guisu belongs to Miss Sima.

This item is unique to him and is not easily parted from him.”

Paused for a moment, Nangong Yun added, “I’ve confirmed this with Miss Sima.”

“Such an important item, why didn’t you hand it over to your grandmother just now?”

This was the point she had paid attention to.

Just now, seeing Nangong Yun’s expression seemed a bit off.

Could it be that some other things happened at home during her absence?

Nangong Yun pouted and, speaking of this, looked angry.

“Mom, you don’t know, but Guisu is very close to Baili Xia. I suspect both of them were involved in the assassination.”
