Chapter 2528

“Xiao…”

Suddenly, that sharp gaze shot over, and Long Ting quickly shut his mouth.

“Long time… no see, Wu Ming. Are you well?”

He coughed dryly and approached Wu Ming, then looked at Baili Xia and respectfully said, “Miss Xiaxia, are you okay?”

Baili Xia shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

She had many doubts in her mind, but seeing Captain Long Ting here didn’t surprise her.

Because Brother was also here; he had gone out earlier to handle Wolf Territory affairs.

Encountering danger and having them come to help isn’t unusual.

But she didn’t understand why Long Ting seemed a bit scared upon seeing Wu Ming.

Long Ting is the deputy captain of Wolf Territory, and probably not many people have a higher status than him there.

Could it be that Wu Ming’s status in Wolf Territory is even more prestigious? She hadn’t noticed this before.

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but reassess Wu Ming.

If he holds a high position in Wolf Territory, then what’s his intention in following her?

Long Ting’s gaze had returned to Wu Ming: “Wu Ming, this Guisu is from the Bei Family, and this incident might be related to them.”

Wu Ming raised his hand slightly, his voice deepening, “Guisu belongs to Miss Xiaxia.”

Though the words weren’t loud, they carried considerable weight.

Guisu’s heart skipped, casting a complex gaze on Wu Ming.

Even this guy recognized him as that girl’s man?

If he didn’t have absolute trust, he wouldn’t say this.

Long Ting’s eyebrow raised, his face showing surprise.

But it was only for a moment before he felt relieved.

Since Mr. Xiaojiu said so, he had no reason not to trust Guisu.

He composed himself and cupped his hands towards Guisu.

“My apologies earlier, I thought…”

Guisu only nodded slightly without saying anything.

This misunderstanding was insignificant to him.

He had thought he could have a proper fight; who knows when such a chance would come again.

Long Ting nodded, not saying anything further.

Baili Xia asked, “Do you have any news about Brother?”

Long Ting answered truthfully, “Mr. Mu was with Bei Xier yesterday and encountered an attack from others.”

“But…” His expression showed some difficulty.

“What’s wrong?” Baili Xia quickly inquired.

Long Ting glanced at Wu Ming, seeing his unchanging expression, and continued.

“However, since last night, his phone probably ran out of battery, and we’ve lost contact.”

“There’s been no contact since.”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened; this situation was too abnormal.

If nothing went wrong, Brother shouldn’t be out of contact until now.

“Long Ting, can you send someone to find Brother and them quickly?”

Long Ting nodded and said, “Our people are still searching outside; maybe we’ll have news once we leave here since there’s no signal.”

He looked towards Wu Ming, reaching out to support him.

Just as his hand touched Wu Ming, unexpectedly…

“Get lost.”

Wu Ming’s voice was icy and deep, causing Long Ting’s hand to withdraw instantly, as if shocked.

Feeling embarrassed, he glanced at Baili Xia, mentally cursing himself.

So clueless, vying to do thankless tasks right in front of Miss Xiaxia?

Baili Xia’s lips twitched; this Wu Ming was too unfriendly.

He’s been with Uncle too long, truly learning all his ways.

Others’ kindness becomes wasted on him.

Seeing Long Ting’s discomfort, she spoke to ease the tension.

“Long Ting, why do they say Brother kidnapped Bei Xier?”
