Chapter 2469

“We’re not far from the Bei family now. Let’s go back first.”

Baili Xia took the lead and headed towards the mountain road outside.

“Wait.”

Unexpectedly, after just two steps, Wu Ming’s calm voice echoed behind her.

Baili Xia stopped and looked back at him, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Wu Ming raised his eyes to her, a complex expression flickering beneath.

The situation at the Bei family is very complicated right now. How should he explain it to this girl?

Baili Xia, seeing his hesitant demeanor, felt even more confused inside.

She walked over and asked, “What’s going on?”

Wu Ming lowered his gaze briefly, finally speaking slowly, “We can’t go back to the Bei family now.”

Baili Xia raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

“They’re suspecting that we kidnapped Bei Xier.”

“What? Bei Xier was kidnapped?”

Only now did Baili Xia learn of this matter, unable to maintain her composure.

But Nangong Yun and Bei Zicheng, if they wanted to harm someone, it would be her.

Why kidnap Bei Xier?

Wu Ming nodded, but there seemed to be doubt in his eyes regarding this.

“I only heard such news. Who knows about this matter? Could Bei Xier also be involved?”

Baili Xia frowned deeply, unable to make sense of many things.

She didn’t believe Bei Xier would plot against her, as that benefits Bei Xier in no way.

After a moment of thought, she suddenly said, “Did you bring your phone? I’ll call Brother You.”

Wu Ming moved his fingertips and took out the phone.

Bei Tianyou should be someone trustworthy.

It was clear that he genuinely cares for this girl, and he’s not foolish enough to be easily deceived.

Baili Xia took the phone, recalled Bei Tianyou’s number, and dialed it.

…

At the Bei family, everything appeared to be as calm as usual.

But in the Wangyue Pavilion hall, the atmosphere was especially heavy.

Just now, Nangong Yun sent a message back, saying they’d reviewed the surveillance of the mall that Bei Zicheng and Bei Xier visited.

The video revealed that after Bei Xier left the restaurant, she was indeed forcibly taken away by Mu Xiaoyao.

Before leaving, Mu Xiaoyao even smashed Bei Xier’s phone.

It turns out they really are involved!

The Old Madam’s face turned pale, unable to speak.

The Bei family and the Mu family are currently undergoing extensive cooperation, why would Mu Xiaoyao kidnap Bei Xier? This makes no sense.

Bei Qingyue looked at her and spoke, “Mom, when Xier was kidnapped a few days ago, I suspected Mu Xiaoyao.”

“Could it be related to the Youyang Pavilion affair?”

The Old Madam’s eyebrow noticeably twitched; Youyang Pavilion is a taboo for the Bei family.

Why would people from the Mu Group be interested in it?

She said nothing, her forehead tightly furrowed.

Bei Tianyou lowered his dark eyes slightly, glanced at Bei Qingyue, and spoke calmly, “Perhaps he just happened to encounter Xier. Don’t jump to conclusions until the facts are clear.”

Bei Qingyue pulled a slight smile from her lips.

“You, you trust the Mu family too much.”

“Don’t you see that ever since Baili Xia arrived, many things have been unusual?”

Bei Tianyou regarded her calmly, without replying.

Bei Qingyue coughed lightly, continuing, “Even your Uncle Fengjin came out of Jin Ye Pavilion, could this have nothing to do with that girl?”

Bei Tianyou casually lifted his hand, interrupting her, the simple gesture exuded nonchalance.

“Uncle Fengjin should have come out for a walk after all these years in Jin Ye Pavilion.”

“Moreover, this has nothing to do with Xier being kidnapped.”
