Chapter 2602

Early the next morning, before Bei Shengri arrived, Bei Qingyue went to the surveillance room.

Last night, she didn’t sleep well at all, her mind constantly fretting over today’s events.

In the surveillance room, a dozen people were still busy.

Every pair of eyes was bloodshot.

Bei Qingyue walked slowly behind Bei Xier, softening a little in her heart.

This girl, she stayed here all night without leaving.

If it were Nangong Yun doing these things, he would have probably run away long ago.

“Xi’er, are you tired?”

Hearing someone behind her, Bei Xier was startled and stood up.

“Mom, I’m fine.”

Bei Qingyue nodded and asked, “Did you find anything?”

Bei Xier said, “Yesterday, I checked the whole day’s surveillance, but I didn’t find how Cousin Zicheng got to the back mountain.”

She paused, hesitating whether to say some things that were on her mind.

After hesitating multiple times, she still spoke up.

“The surveillance did show that Mu Xiaoyao going up the mountain was a bit sudden, just before Cousin Zicheng’s body was discovered.”

Bei Xier knew that what she said might be unfavorable to Mu Xiaoyao.

However, since it involves the Bei Family, she dared not hide anything.

Bei Qingyue acknowledged with a nod, even though no special evidence was found.

Yet, Mu Xiaoyao’s possibility seemed slightly greater.

“Alright, Xi’er, continue to lead the team to check the surveillance.”

“If you’re tired, let someone take over for you.”

“Okay.”

Bei Qingyue did not linger, knowing that Bei Shengri would soon come looking for her.

Mu Xiaoyao returned last night, and this matter would be left to Bei Shengri.

Even if any misunderstandings arose, she could deflect.

…

At the Bi Luo Pavilion, Baili Xia was just about to go downstairs for breakfast.

Suddenly, she noticed some sounds coming from Brother’s room.

Could it be that Brother is back?

Baili Xia quickly went over and knocked on the door.

The door soon opened, revealing the tall, handsome silhouette of Mu Xiaoyao.

“Brother, you’re back.”

Seeing Mu Xiaoyao return at this moment, Baili Xia’s eyes clearly showed a hint of worry.

“Yes, but I’m leaving soon.”

Mu Xiaoyao responded, turning back into the room.

Baili Xia raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised, and followed him inside.

“Why leave so soon?”

“There’s something happening in the Wolf Territory, I need to return to Jin City.”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced back at Baili Xia, and then said, “While Wu Ming and I are not around, don’t run around carelessly.”

Evidently, he was still worried about the previous incidents.

Baili Xia nodded, though she still had some questions she wanted to ask him.

“Brother, Bei Zicheng is dead.”

“Dead?” Mu Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked flatly, “When did this happen?”

Seeing his expression, Baili Xia was completely reassured.

This matter had nothing to do with Brother.

Even though she felt certain before, she hadn’t been at ease without hearing it from him.

“Yesterday morning at the back mountain, they said they also encountered you there.”

Mu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, “So, they suspect I did it?”

Baili Xia nodded without speaking.

“Do you believe it?”

Baili Xia immediately shook her head, saying, “It’s not about believing or not, just worried you might act rashly when provoked.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not about to kill someone just like that.” Mu Xiaoyao dismissed the matter with little concern.

If he didn’t kill the person, then what was there to worry about? He had no fondness for Bei Zicheng anyway.

Bei Zicheng’s death was his own business.
