Chapter 2611

Bei Shengri looked at her, his eyes holding an unclear meaning.

But it was obvious, there were more feelings of disgust and hatred.

Baili Xia said calmly, “Can I have a word with you in private?”

“What can’t be said openly?” Ling Lin barged over, glaring fiercely at Baili Xia.

“You weren’t satisfied with killing my son, now you want to harm my husband!”

To Ling Lin, Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao were in cahoots.

Now all the evidence pointed directly to Mu Xiaoyao, and her opinion of Baili Xia was naturally negative.

Baili Xia, however, ignored her and simply looked at Bei Shengri: “Can we speak in private?”

She was part of the Mu family, although outsiders knew little about their affairs.

But, Mu Xiaojiu seemed to care a lot about this girl.

Actually, if not for all the blame being directed at Mu Xiaoyao, from Bei Shengri’s perspective, he didn’t want any conflict with the Mu family.

However, his son was dear to him, making it difficult for him to calm down quickly.

Bei Shengri lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

“Shengri…” Ling Lin still felt uneasy.

Bei Shengri just nodded at her and then shook his head.

Ling Lin was helpless, unable to leave with her husband; she had to stay with her son.

The two walked to the side, away from the mortuary.

Bei Shengri looked down at Baili Xia, his expression still indescribably cold: “Speak quickly if you have something to say!”

Baili Xia took a breath and spoke slowly, “Mr., it seems that your views differ from your wife’s.”

“I believe your wife is just heartbroken over losing her beloved son, which is why she can’t accept the idea of examining Mr. Zicheng’s body right away.”

“However, if we don’t do this, we might miss some important clues, and the culprit would truly remain at large.”

Bei Shengri snorted coldly and said, “Mu Xiaoyao is the culprit, no one else. I will naturally go after him.”

Baili Xia shook her head and stared at him, “Do you really believe my brother is the murderer?”

Bei Shengri’s brows furrowed, momentarily speechless.

He’d been around for many years and met all kinds of people.

This morning when he saw Mu Xiaoyao, his intuition told him that this matter might have nothing to do with him.

Otherwise, Mu Xiaoyao wouldn’t have returned, nor would he be behaving this way.

But without a culprit, how does he fill the void of losing a son?

Who told Mu Xiaoyao and Bei Zicheng to have enmity; who else could he seek revenge on at this moment?

Baili Xia knew he was struggling internally, organized her thoughts, and spoke again, “If the real murderer escapes, can you find peace? Do you think this can do right by Mr. Zicheng?”

“As for your wife, try to comfort her more. Hopefully, we can find the real murderer, clear my brother’s name, and allow Mr. Zicheng to rest in peace.”

Bei Shengri furrowed his brow tightly, carefully considering Baili Xia’s words.

He understood the reasoning, but at first, he was overwhelmed by Zicheng’s death and didn’t want to consider these things.

Calming down, it made sense indeed.

He looked at Baili Xia with deep meaning and said softly, “Alright, I’ll try to persuade her.”

Having said that, he walked back towards the mortuary.

He went to Ling Lin’s side and spoke to her in a low voice.

Ling Lin’s emotions had already stabilized, but she still refused to leave the mortuary’s door.

She looked at her clearly persuaded husband, her eyes red with anger.

“Do you really want Zicheng to suffer even after his death?”
