Chapter 2400

“Yes.” With no other choice, Nangong Yun had to agree.

Although the Old Madam was not very satisfied with this arrangement, she didn’t say anything more.

She looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said, “You can go.”

Bei Qingyue’s subordinates immediately scattered to both sides, opening up a path.

Mu Xiaoyao gave the Old Madam and the others a faint look and said nothing more.

He tightened his grip slightly and pulled Bei Xier outside.

Everyone just stood there, watching as Mu Xiaoyao gradually walked further away.

Only when he was far enough did Bei Qingyue shoot a look at Nangong Yun, signaling her to follow.

Nangong Yun casually called over two people and together they ran out after them.

By the time Mu Xiaoyao had Bei Xier in his hold and reached the Bei Family gates, several cars were already parked there.

He walked straight to the car at the very front, opened the door, and threw Bei Xier into the passenger seat.

Bei Xier finally felt her body no longer restrained and let out a silent sigh of relief.

She lifted her head and looked at Mu Xiaoyao outside the car, her body instinctively wanting to get out.

“Get back.”

The cold words came from the man in black, and those eyes of his made her shiver.

Bei Xier instantly abandoned the idea of getting out and sat back down in the passenger seat.

She wanted to run, but having seen him make a move, she had no doubt she had no hope of escaping.

Mu Xiaoyao was just about to walk to the driver’s side when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the phone in her hand.

“Hand it over.”

Bei Xier instinctively shrank back a little and said, “I need to call them later. Otherwise how will I get back?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed, a hint of danger flashing through.

Bei Xier’s heart went cold; without even half a second of hesitation, she immediately passed the phone to him.

Mu Xiaoyao took the phone, then took a long stride over to the driver’s seat.

He closed the car door and glanced at Bei Xier. She was looking up at him.

“Where are you taking me?”

Ignoring her question, Mu Xiaoyao started the car and drove rapidly toward the Bei Family gate.

The car sped up, and Bei Xier, helpless, could only quickly grab the handle above her head.

As she watched the car draw closer and closer to the gate, the doubt in her heart only deepened.

The route this man in black chose was the one that led to the gate by the shortest way.

Judging by the way he drove, it clearly wasn’t by chance.

Rather, he really was very familiar with the Bei Family’s routes.

Thinking of this, Bei Xier lifted her eyes to look at Mu Xiaoyao.

The black cloth on his face only covered half of his front, but from the side she could see quite a bit.

That sharp, well-defined side profile looked familiar.

This person… it feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before…

Bei Xier’s confusion grew stronger. She wanted to ask something, but as soon as she thought of those icy eyes of his, she didn’t quite dare to keep talking to him.

The car left the Bei Family and merged onto the main road.

From time to time, Mu Xiaoyao glanced into the rearview mirror. After driving more than ten kilometers, it was still empty behind them.

The people from the Bei Family had long since been left far out of sight.

The farther the car went, the farther it drew from the city.

The surroundings grew darker and darker, with not even streetlights anymore.

Staring out the window, Bei Xier grew more and more afraid.

She mustered her courage and asked, “Where exactly are you taking me?”

However, there was no response at all.

“They already can’t catch up to you. Can you let me go back, please?”

In a place this pitch-black where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, even if he let her out here, she’d have no idea how to get back.

Especially since he had already confiscated her phone; it was impossible for her to contact the Bei Family to come get her.

They drove for a while longer, and then, suddenly, the car came to a stop.
