Chapter 2604

Baili Xia knew what Mu Xiaoyao was worried about.

Brother just left like that, and Wu Ming seems unusually busy these days, always elusive.

Only she is left, afraid others will blame her for these things.

But she is not afraid.

If even she leaves, others will more likely think they fled to evade guilt.

Baili Xia shook her head, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

But just as she finished speaking, she spotted a large group of people approaching from a distance.

The distance was somewhat far, but she could already make out a few people walking in front.

Bei Qingyue, Bei Shengri, and Ling Lin.

They walked together towards this side, could it be they believed Bei Zicheng’s death was related to Brother?

Mu Xiaoyao saw Baili Xia’s expression change, followed her gaze, and also saw the silhouettes of the group.

He furrowed his brow and returned to Baili Xia’s side.

Soon, Bei Qingyue and Bei Shengri arrived at the entrance of Bi Luo Pavilion.

Bei Shengri saw the luggage in Mu Xiaoyao’s hand and his expression changed.

“What? Does Mr. Mu Xiaoyao plan to flee from guilt?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed, and a chill instantly leaked from him.

Baili Xia quickly spoke up before him, “Of course not, Jin City has matters that Brother needs to handle.”

Bei Shengri coldly scoffed and gestured to the people behind him.

Dozens of people quickly spread out, surrounding Mu Xiaoyao.

“You just came back last night, leaving now, is it too hasty?”

“If it’s not fleeing from guilt, then what is it?”

On the side, Ling Lin had been suppressing her anger ever since seeing Mu Xiaoyao.

Now, she couldn’t help but speak out, “Mu Xiaoyao, give me back my son’s life.”

Her eyes were red, likely having cried all night.

It’s no wonder, losing a child is painful for anyone.

Baili Xia quickly explained, “Madame Bei, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother.”

“If he had killed someone, why would he return so willingly?”

Ling Lin obviously did not accept her explanation, having already discussed with Bei Qingyue.

The surveillance showed that yesterday morning, except for the training brothers, only Mu Xiaoyao went up the mountain.

Who else could it be?

“He said he went up the mountain to find Zicheng, right?”

Baili Xia looked up at Mu Xiaoyao and helplessly nodded.

She couldn’t deny this as Brother had told others directly.

“However, he didn’t…”

Ling Lin didn’t want to hear her explanation and directly interrupted.

“Tell me, what did he want with Zicheng?”

Baili Xia felt troubled, Brother’s reason for finding Bei Zicheng was simple, to avenge her.

But how can she say this?

Ling Lin coldly smiled, “What? Afraid to say it?”

“You resent Zicheng for framing you before, and wanted revenge, right?”

“I will carefully investigate if Zicheng ever framed you before.”

“But Mu Xiaoyao went up the mountain to find Zicheng, wasn’t it to kill him?”

“No, certainly not.” Baili Xia quickly denied, “Brother never intended to kill him.”

Bei Shengri couldn’t hold back anymore, facing potential enemies who killed his son, he had no patience to argue.

He angrily said, “Enough, whether he killed him or not, we’ll find out when we take him back and question him.”

After speaking, Bei Shengri gestured to his men who quickly stepped forward, approaching Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaoyao’s face turned cold, and he casually tossed the luggage he held to the ground.
