Chapter 2461

The Old Madam subtly raised the corner of her eyes, unsure of what evidence Bei Zicheng might have.

“Why?”

“When I came out, I saw the silhouette of a man that looked familiar, it seemed like the man who was with Baili Xia last night.”

The Old Madam’s mind quickly scanned for the man seen with Baili Xia the previous night.

It seemed that, besides Mu Xiaoyao, the only possibility was that scarred man, Wu Ming.

If it really were him, what purpose would abducting Xi’er serve?

Her gaze fell on Bei Zicheng’s wounds and injured leg, suddenly gaining clarity in her thoughts.

Could it be that Xiaxia and Wu Ming were seeking revenge for last time?

And the target was originally Bei Zicheng, but after his escape, they had no choice but to take Bei Xier?

Now, all the evidence points to Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia, leaving her little choice but to suspect them.

The Old Madam turned her gaze to Nangong Yun: “Did you see Wu Ming leave?”

Nangong Yun shook his head and said: “No.”

The Old Madam frowned, more convinced that Wu Ming had left earlier to set up an ambush.

All these people were under the Bei Tianyou’s command; he cannot escape responsibility.

“Send someone to fetch You over here.”

She instructed Lan, her stare coldly sweeping towards Bei Qingyue: “Send people to find them.”

Bei Qingyue nodded and immediately issued orders to Nangong Yun.

“Take the brothers to the city and search, block all major exits, and don’t let anyone take Xier away.”

“Yes.”

Nangong Yun finally received the result she wanted and now held significant forces.

As long as something unexpected happens on the way to capture Baili Xia, causing her death outside, the problem will be perfectly resolved.

This time, Baili Xia’s life or death will be entirely in her hands.

Maybe she won’t even live to see that moment.

Nangong Yun cast a deep look at Bei Zicheng, offering him a glimpse of appreciation before she and Nangong Qingqing stepped out of Wangyue Pavilion.

Today’s act was played out perfectly.

Killing two birds with one stone, hopefully, Mu Xiaoyao wouldn’t spare Bei Xier in order to avenge Baili Xia.

After Nangong Yun left, Bei Qingyue looked at Bei Zicheng and said, “Zicheng, you’re injured, go rest.”

“No, I want to stay here and wait for cousin Xier to come back.”

The persistence in his eyes seemed to reveal a deep-seated guilt over the matter.

The Old Madam felt her heart soften, after all, he was her grandson.

When something happened to a Bei family member, he truly cared.

She spoke softly, “Zicheng, go back, I’ll have someone inform you if anything happens.”

It was her first time speaking so gently to this grandson, and it was unexpected that such an incident changed her attitude towards him.

Only then did Bei Zicheng obediently stand up, although reluctant, he said, “Alright, inform me immediately of any details regarding cousin Xier.”

After speaking, he limped out.

The hall was left with only the Old Madam, Bei Qingyue, and the servant Lan.

The hall fell silent again, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

After a dozen minutes, a figure in white stepped into Wangyue Pavilion.

Tall and striding confidently, his white casual attire made him appear even more graceful.

The gentle lines of his face carried an indifferent gaze.

Seeing Bei Tianyou approach, the Old Madam’s eyelids twitched slightly.

This situation was linked to the girl in question, and she didn’t know how to explain it to You.

But without her needing to say anything, it seemed Bei Tianyou already knew what had happened.

Upon entering the hall, he glanced at Bei Qingyue and sat beside the Old Madam.

“Grandma, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Xiaxia.”
