Chapter 2419

Wu Ming’s fingertips suddenly tightened, and a chill immediately emanated from his body.

This woman, if she truly intends to expose Xiaoyao, she absolutely cannot leave this room.

Baili Xia sensed the threads of coldness emanating from Wu Ming, and probably guessed his thoughts.

She was deeply worried as well; it was still unclear what kind of person Bei Xier really was.

Although her first impression of her was quite good.

But no one could guarantee if that was just a facade.

Now that she openly spoke about her brother abducting her, it proved she had accepted this fact.

However, she didn’t report it to Bei Qingyue immediately, could this mean she was leaving room for negotiation?

Perhaps it was a gamble, but Baili Xia was willing to take the risk.

“Indeed, that person last night was my brother,” Baili Xia responded softly.

Her answer startled Wu Ming, who was standing beside her; he raised his eyebrows and instantly understood the girl’s intention.

At this, Bei Xier was dumbfounded.

She didn’t expect Baili Xia to admit it so easily; it was beyond her expectation.

Her large eyes, like amethyst grapes, fixed on Baili Xia’s face.

She asked, “Why did you do this? Do you not know that Youyang Pavilion is a forbidden area of the Bei Family?”

Baili Xia sighed lightly, showing a hint of helplessness.

“Precisely because it is a forbidden area, I asked my brother for help.”

Her gaze drifted outside the window, as if her thoughts had flown out with it.

“I’m sure many people have told you that you resemble Bei Qingyou, right?”

There was no need for Bei Xier to answer, the surprise on her face was already an answer.

Baili Xia continued, “It’s the same with me. Ever since I first came to the Bei Family, people have mistaken me too.”

“Hearing others speak of Bei Qingyou’s story, my fascination with her only deepened.”

“From then on, I have increasingly wanted to know what kind of person Bei Qingyou truly is.”

Bei Xier’s experience with this matter was actually quite similar to Baili Xia’s.

From her grandfather to others, they repeatedly mistook her for Bei Qingyou.

Later on, they even mistook her for Baili Xia.

Though she knew little about Bei Qingyou, her heart held a certain intrigue about this woman.

Baili Xia watched her standing there, quietly listening without uttering a word, knowing she had made the right gamble.

She walked closer to Bei Xier, narrowing the distance between them.

“Xixi, have you ever wondered? Why a place that’s been empty for over a decade is off-limits, and why it’s surrounded by so many surveillance cameras?”

Anyone with eyes could see these things.

Surely, she wasn’t the only one who found Youyang Pavilion strange.

But most people in the Bei Family feared the Old Madam and dared not speak up.

Bei Xier was momentarily stunned by Baili Xia’s words; she too had always found these things peculiar.

Especially recently, when her grandmother instructed her to rearrange the surveillance throughout Youyang Pavilion, it seemed a bit excessive.

Because her requirements were too high, insisting no corner of the courtyard be left unmonitored.

Moreover, the highest level of cybersecurity was required to prevent hacking.

When she took on this job, she had asked her grandmother the purpose of such measures.

But her grandmother’s attitude became noticeably stern, telling her just to do it without asking questions.

As someone from the Bei Family, the Old Madam had always been exceptionally gracious to her.

She would never defy her words, so she didn’t think too much about it.

She looked up at Baili Xia, also harboring doubts in her heart—could it be that the Old Madam was indeed hiding something at Youyang Pavilion?
