Chapter 2247

Long Ting didn’t look at Leng Yu and said coldly, “Security matters are none of your concern.”

“I don’t have the authority to ask, but Mr. Xuri sent me to inquire.”

She believed that Mr.Xuri’s status should be enough to intimidate Long Ting.

After all, he’s just Mr. Xiaojiu’s subordinate and must show some respect to Mr.Xuri.

“It doesn’t matter who comes; it’s useless.”

The response was still icy, directly cutting off Leng Yu’s next words.

Leng Yu felt frustrated, but she had no way to handle him.

She couldn’t use force here, and even if she did, she wasn’t a match for Captain Long Ting.

She lowered her gaze, thought for a moment, and then said, “After all, this is Mr. Bei’s wedding feast. Your actions are affecting the guests, which will cause considerable damage to the Mu family.”

“Even Mr. Xiaojiu wouldn’t want to offend these guests at Mr. Bei’s wedding.”

Long Ting let out a cold hum. He didn’t want to respond, but upon hearing Mr. Xiaojiu, he replied.

“This is Mr. Xiaojiu’s arrangement.”

Though it wasn’t directly arranged by Mr. Xiaojiu, he had been tasked to investigate, and how he investigated was up to him.

Given the magnitude of today’s event, typically Mr. Xiaojiu would detain everyone directly.

Leng Yu, having faced resistance, dared not ask further and returned to Mu Xuri’s side to report.

After hearing Leng Yu’s report, Mu Xuri’s expression darkened, his thoughts began to spin.

Bei Tianyou had been sitting across from Mu Xuri for a while, having already noticed the unusual movements of the security personnel.

Now seeing Mu Xuri’s changed expression, he was even more certain something was happening at the Mu Mansion.

These security personnel are all Mr. Xiaojiu’s men. Connecting this with the departure of that girl and Nangong Xu, his heart was inexplicably tense.

“Mr.Xuri, has something happened?”

Mu Xuri’s face immediately shed its displeasure, replaced with a smile.

“It’s nothing, just the security not being up to par. I’ll step out for a moment to handle it.”

With a slight apology, he gestured for Leng Yu to push him forward.

Ning Anran, sitting beside him, hurriedly asked, “Uncle, should I accompany you…”

“No need, you stay here and keep Mr. Bei company.”

After speaking, he let Leng Yu push him towards the back garden.

Ning Anran watched his departing figure, a wave of resentment rising within.

Whenever Mu Xuri had important matters, he would push her aside, not letting her get involved.

Was he worried she’d discover some secret of his?

Thinking this, her heart felt more uneasy, completely devoid of security.

Mu Xuri passed through the garden and exited Mo Yan Residence through the back door.

“Mr.Xuri, where are we going?” Leng Yu asked.

“Back to the main house.”

…

Half an hour later, Mu Xuri and Leng Yu appeared at Sihai Residence.

The person on the other end of the phone told him no one had reported back in this operation.

It seemed like a total failure.

That person urged him to quickly investigate the situation at Sihai Residence.

Even without that person’s urging, Mu Xuri was already a bit unsettled.

If this operation failed, no one can be left alive.

If his matters were exposed, all efforts would be in vain.

Mu Xuri had been sitting in the center of the courtyard for over ten minutes, yet Mu Xiaojiu had not come out to meet him.

His anxiety grew, but he was helpless.

Throughout Sihai Residence, everywhere stood Jiu’s men.

This level of security left no gap to exploit.

No matter how many experts were sent for another operation, it would still be futile.

No one in the courtyard cared about Mu Xuri’s identity as Mr. Xuri, merely letting him wait there.
