Chapter 2601

After Bei Qingyue’s report, the Old Madam, although also suspicious of Mu Xiaoyao, she didn’t want to tear faces so early without evidence.

At the moment, the old master and her eldest son Bei Kuangri are still at the medicine field and haven’t returned yet.

To let them handle the projects at hand without worry, the Old Madam also consented to temporarily not inform them of this matter.

In the family, besides Bei Tianyou, only the Old Madam and Bei Qingyue manage affairs.

Bei Fengjin has not concerned himself with worldly matters for so many years, so this matter can’t involve him.

The Old Madam suddenly realized that at this moment, she indeed somewhat relied on her grandson Tianyou.

She even hoped that Tianyou were by her side right now, offering advice and strategies.

She was silent for a moment, then said, “We are still investigating the matter, but there aren’t many leads yet.”

“Investigate? The assassin’s motive is already obvious. What else do you think needs investigation?”

At this point, looking at the Old Madam, Bei Shengri appeared even angrier.

“Or is it that you all don’t want to offend the Mu family? That’s why you are so slow to take action?”

“Shengri, that’s not what I mean. This involves too much; the matter hasn’t been thoroughly investigated yet…”

The Old Madam wanted to explain, but she also understood her son’s temperament well.

In such a situation, no matter how much she said, it would not help.

Bei Shengri snorted coldly, directly interrupting her.

“Your Bei family is afraid of the Mu family; I am not.”

“If you have concerns, then leave the matter to me. I must seek justice for my son.”

Bei Qingyue looked at him; he exuded coldness, with determination in his icy eyes.

At this moment, Bei Shengri would absolutely dare to fight the Mu family to the death; he had already made up his mind by bringing so many people here this time.

He would not rest until he avenged Bei Zicheng.

If it was the Ling Family and the Mu family fighting, Bei Qingyue wouldn’t care.

But now, the matter happened at the Bei family.

She didn’t want to create another strong enemy for the Bei family, especially Mr. Xiaojiu, who was an awe-inspiring, god-like existence.

“Brother, listen to me; don’t be too impulsive!”

“Give me some time, I assure you, I’ll provide you with an explanation.”

“Give you time?” Bei Shengri snorted coldly, looking at her with disdain in his eyes.

“My son died under your noses, and now you ask me to give you time? Do you think I can believe you have that capability?”

Being blocked by him like this, Bei Qingyue was utterly speechless to refute.

However, she also wouldn’t allow him to leave like this today.

Bei Shengri continued, “Is Mu Xiaoyao residing at the Bi Luo Pavilion? I’ll go capture him right now.”

After saying this, he truly intended to walk out.

Bei Qingyue’s expression tightened, quickly taking a couple of fast steps to block him.

“Brother, wait.”

“There isn’t substantial evidence to prove that Mu Xiaoyao did it. Give me a bit more time.”

“If I can’t find out, then you handle it your way. I will not stop you.”

Bei Shengri’s eyes narrowed slightly: “How much time do you need?”

“By tomorrow morning. If there’s no evidence by then, you can go to Bi Luo Pavilion to catch him.”

“…”

After much persuasion, Bei Qingyue finally temporarily convinced Bei Shengri.

Tomorrow morning is the final deadline that Bei Shengri gave her.

Separating from Bei Shengri and Ling Lin, Bei Qingyue accompanied the Old Madam back to the hall again.

The Old Madam had a flash of doubt on her face: “Qingyue, can you really provide any evidence by tomorrow morning?”

Bei Qingyue shook her head; this was just a temporary delay.

Everything depended on whether Xi’er could find anything.
