Chapter 2453

Baili Xia, who had been intently focused on the commotion ahead, was startled by Xiaoyao’s voice.

Actually, she wasn’t really asking him earlier; it was just a subconscious remark she made.

Unexpectedly, Brother was behind her and actually heard what she said.

Not only is he skilled, but his hearing is also this good. It seems she must never speak ill of him behind his back.

However, thinking back, she reckons she hasn’t really ever spoken ill of Brother, right?

“Focus.” Suddenly, Xiaoyao’s deep voice came through again.

“…Yes.”

To notice even that, impressive!

Reining in her thoughts, Baili Xia dared not let her imagination run wild anymore.

Walking further along with them, Xiaoyao slightly squinted his starry eyes, extending a finger to gently tap Baili Xia on the shoulder.

“What is it?” At such a critical moment, even a slight disturbance made Baili Xia extremely tense.

“Don’t look back, there’s someone behind us.”

Xiaoyao moved closer to Baili Xia, as he was significantly taller than her.

Thus, he didn’t need to do much as Baili Xia’s petite body was completely shielded by him.

Baili Xia widened her eyes, unable to understand what he meant by that.

“Someone is following us, don’t look around.”

Seeing her puzzled expression, Xiaoyao reminded her again.

Baili Xia finally reacted, looking up at Xiaoyao, and softly asked, “Brother, what should we do now?”

“Ignore him, just keep following them. Don’t make any noise to let him know we’ve noticed.”

“Got it, Brother.”

Under Xiaoyao’s indication, Baili Xia turned around and continued walking forward.

But now, she felt even more confused.

“It seems Bei Zicheng is indeed prepared this time. Whatever situation we encounter later, remember to be cautious.” Xiaoyao lightly advised.

“Yes.” Baili Xia nodded seriously.

When it comes to tracking and being tracked, Baili Xia knows Brother must be far more experienced and sensitive than she is.

So now, she would obediently listen to whatever Xiaoyao said.

Moreover, as Brother said, since there is someone tailing them, things surely aren’t simple.

If discovered, everything they did would probably be in vain.

The two in front were idly wandering the streets, and from when they started following until now, nearly half an hour had passed without them doing anything.

Seeing this, Baili Xia also began to feel suspicious.

“What is it? Did you notice something too?”

Xiaoyao, from behind, placed his hands on Baili Xia’s shoulders, signaling her to stop first.

“He deliberately delays; no matter how long we follow, we won’t find anything out.”

No sooner had Xiaoyao said this than Bei Zicheng in front took out his phone from his pocket, clearly to answer a call.

Seeing him looking around, Xiaoyao quickly pulled Baili Xia into a small alley nearby.

Baili Xia felt her body lighten and realized she had been hidden away, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” She looked up at Xiaoyao and asked softly.

“Bei Zicheng must know something and is looking this way.”

Baili Xia nodded: “No wonder.”

Going out for a simple stroll and making it this complicated, there’s no way she would believe he didn’t have any ulterior motives.
