Chapter 2471

There was no response from the other end of the phone.

Baili Xia already knew the answer; she couldn’t go back now.

Suddenly, a voice came from the other end: “Okay, Director Li, I’ll send someone to pick you up. Alright, take care.”

After speaking, the phone hung up.

Baili Xia knew this was Brother You saying it for her to hear.

As long as she stayed here, his people would surely arrive soon.

Handing the phone back to Wu Ming, Baili Xia spoke: “So, we’ll wait here for Brother You to come and get us?”

The phone was on speaker earlier, and Wu Ming also heard Bei Tianyou’s words.

Right now, they didn’t know what the situation was with the Bei Family.

If they ran into Bei Qingyue’s people, and got caught, things might become more complicated.

But he didn’t know why his brows were tightly knitted, as if suppressing something.

Wu Ming thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

He already informed his brothers in the Wolf Territory in Bei Miao to come and support as soon as possible.

However, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t wish for this girl to know that the people from the Wolf Territory were working for him.

Nor did he want to draw attention from various organizations in Bei Miao, after all, the influence of the Wolf Territory in Bei Miao wasn’t strong yet.

Everything was just the beginning.

But even if they wanted to come, it probably wouldn’t be as quick as Bei Tianyou’s people.

Still, he felt a bit worried in his heart…

Baili Xia found a place to sit down, leaning her back against the tree.

She patted the ground beside her, softly saying: “Come sit over here.”

Wu Ming lifted his foot, just about to go over, but suddenly stopped.

He didn’t go to Baili Xia’s side; instead, he walked straight to another tree and sat down.

Baili Xia was secretly a bit puzzled; why did this guy suddenly change his attitude?

Usually, he couldn’t wait to stick to her; what’s going on today?

Was he upset with her for meddling again?

This cool demeanor was very much like when Uncle threw a tantrum.

Yes, such a cold and indifferent attitude.

Baili Xia shook her head, trying to shake Uncle’s charming image from her mind.

Suddenly, Wu Ming said: “Spacing out? Are you infatuated with me?”

Baili Xia snapped back to reality, and upon hearing this, her face immediately flushed red, feeling embarrassed.

She spat: “Nonsense, we’re escaping right now, can’t you avoid joking?”

Wu Ming raised an eyebrow: “Escaping?”

This was the first time this term was used to describe him.

When had the mighty King Mr. Xiaojiu needed to escape?

Looking at the girl in front of him, he suddenly felt relieved.

For her, perhaps escaping once would be alright.

Wu Ming collected himself, locking eyes with Baili Xia, and spoke softly: “What happened today?”

Baili Xia pursed her lips; she was planning to talk to him about this incident.

She briefly organized her thoughts, and slowly recounted the events.

“At noon today I went to give acupuncture to the old master, and when I came out, I happened to see Bei Zicheng and Bei Xier leaving together…”

Baili Xia detailed today’s events to Wu Ming, not missing a single detail.

Listening to Baili Xia’s recount, Wu Ming’s brows furrowed increasingly tightly.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly coughed lightly.

He smoothed his breath before speaking: “It seems like the two of them set you up.”

Things just don’t happen to be so coincidental, she happened to see them heading out.

Coming to such a distant place, yet easily discovered by her and Mu Xiaoyao.

After entering the restaurant, they couldn’t see Bei Zicheng and Bei Xier, and even got attacked in the restaurant.

If all these were coincidental, it wouldn’t make sense at all.
