Chapter 2393

Brother is just that kind of person; he doesn’t like to read people’s minds and isn’t good at it either.

In his understanding, Bei Qingyue is a bad person, and Bei Qingyue’s adopted daughter can’t be any better.

Brother is still so adorable…

…

An hour later, Mu Xiaoyao paused all the surveillance footage.

Three people dressed well, silently went out the door.

As expected, this time they smoothly entered Youyang Pavilion.

Returning to the place where her mother lived before she passed away, Baili Xia felt an indescribable excitement.

She stood inside the door, scanning the interior, even her palms started to sweat.

It wasn’t until a large hand tightly grasped her small hand that she slowly calmed down.

Looking up at Wu Ming, she felt full of gratitude.

Although this guy can be annoying at times, he always manages to reassure her when she’s flustered.

“I’m okay,” Baili Xia said in a low voice, looking at him.

“Alright.”

Wu Ming nodded and took her small hand, leading her inside.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t follow their steps, continuing to watch the surroundings carefully.

This Youyang Pavilion is somewhat smaller than Bi Luo Pavilion, but it’s still absolutely luxurious.

However, compared to its luxurious exterior, the interior decoration is much more modest.

The decor from over a decade ago is pleasing to the eye and doesn’t appear outdated at all.

Although it has been vacant for so long, it’s still clean and tidy.

They wandered around the first floor of Youyang Pavilion but didn’t find anything special.

There are some everyday items quietly placed there, which seem somewhat different from last time, yet somehow unchanged.

However, in Baili Xia’s eyes, it seemed as if she saw her mother’s every move back then.

Wu Ming kept silent, unwilling to disturb her.

Seeing the girl upset, he felt uneasy too.

Her biological mother, yet a lifetime without the chance to meet, just like his father who passed away long, long ago…

Not knowing how long had passed, Baili Xia awakened from her contemplation.

Now is not the time to mourn; the main business is urgent.

“Let’s check upstairs,” she whispered.

“Okay,” Wu Ming nodded, walking ahead of her.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyao entered and followed in their footsteps.

Upon finding the master bedroom and trying to pry the door open, Wu Ming sensed something amiss.

At the same time, Mu Xiaoyao noticed it too.

Outside Youyang Pavilion, there was a commotion, with a large group of people rushing over.

“Let’s go,” Wu Ming grabbed Baili Xia’s hand.

“It’s too late,” Mu Xiaoyao said calmly.

He truly couldn’t fathom what might have gone wrong, how they could have been discovered?

Unless the system tonight happened to have been updated.

However, he didn’t seem much calmer than Wu Ming because now there was Baili Xia here.

Perhaps, with him and Uncle splitting up to leave, this wouldn’t be a difficult matter for them.

But…

“There are too many people; you stay behind, I’ll go divert them.”

“Take care of her.”

Leaving behind these words, Mu Xiaoyao casually grabbed a piece of black cloth and covered his face.

Before Baili Xia could react, he had already stepped away.

Because he knew, if he didn’t do this, Uncle would do it himself.

Rather than let him take the risk, he preferred Uncle to stay here and protect the girl.

“Brother…” Baili Xia called softly.

But, the voice could only dissipate in the wind and air.

Mu Xiaoyao had already left, with no chance to hear anymore.

“Come in.”

Wu Ming casually closed the master bedroom door, holding the girl as they walked inside.
