Chapter 367 is Bai Ye
When Li Chenxu first noticed something was wrong, he woke Mu Xiaoyu up. By the time the two of them hid outside, less than ten minutes had passed.
The two waited outside for a long time, but there was no movement at all.
Mu Xiaoyu was getting drowsy from waiting so long, and just as her eyelids were about to close, there was a sudden noise coming from the house they were staying in.
Because the room was locked from the inside by Mu Xiaoyu and the others, it would take some time and effort to open it from the outside. However, the people outside had obviously figured out the structure of the house and were prepared in advance.
As soon as Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu noticed the commotion inside the house, the door was opened in less than a minute, and the next second, several tall and muscular men walked in.
Among these men, there was a familiar figure, which immediately made Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's hearts sink a little.
If everything Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had done before seeing Bai Ye was just speculation without evidence, then everything was confirmed after they saw Bai Ye.
From beginning to end, Bai Ye's approach to Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu was always purposeful.
Perhaps he wasn't a fan of Mu Xiaoyu's books at all, and his 'liking' for Mu Xiaoyu was all for ulterior motives.
The thought of how she and Li Chenxu had trusted Bai Ye during this time sent a chill down Mu Xiaoyu's spine.
She subconsciously glanced at Li Chenxu beside her. He looked calm, though there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything. After all, at this time, if they made any noise outside, the people inside might notice.
Moreover, now that they know Bai Ye has betrayed them, the rest is much easier, and they don't need to risk themselves anymore.
"Young master, there's no one inside."
Bai Ye and his men searched the house thoroughly, but after failing to find Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, they immediately reported back to Bai Ye.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's seemingly upright face darkened slightly, and his deep eyes carefully scanned the room before finally fixing on the window.
He stared at the window for a few seconds, then slowly walked to it and opened it.
As if realizing something, Bai Ye leaned out of the window and looked outside. He saw that the place where Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had been was now empty.
Bai Ye frowned, looked at the window, and finally closed it. He then said to his subordinates behind him, "Go back and release the people we captured earlier."
"Young Master, we finally managed to capture those people, why are you releasing them?"
Bai Ye at this moment was completely different from what Mu Xiaoyu and the others had seen before. Hearing his subordinate's words, he coldly glanced at the person who spoke and said, "If we don't release them, are we going to leave clues for Li Chenxu and the others, making them suspect us?"
At this time, Bai Ye was unaware that Li Chenxu already knew about what he had done before. He was still planning his next move, unaware that Li Chenxu and the others already knew.
"Brother Chenxu, what do we do now?"
After watching Bai Ye leave with his men, Mu Xiaoyu lowered her voice and asked Li Chenxu beside her. They had anticipated that Bai Ye might come to check the situation outside the window, so before Bai Ye arrived, Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu had already changed their hiding place. Now that they saw Bai Ye and his men leave, Mu Xiaoyu and the others came out.
“We can’t let Bai Ye know that we know what he did. We have to pretend we know nothing. Bai Ye arrested our people, so he definitely hasn’t shown himself. I just asked, and our people don’t know who arrested them either.”
After pondering for a moment, Li Chenxu said that Mu Xiaoyu was smart and immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant.
Since Bai Ye is unaware that they already know the truth, they will continue to pretend they don't know and find a way to counter it later.
Within half an hour, Li Chenxu and his men were released. This was their dereliction of duty; almost none of the men who came had properly protected Li Chenxu's safety. So, as soon as the bodyguards returned, they immediately went back to find Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu.
"Sir, this time..."
"No need to say so much. This incident is not your fault. Our people just sent word that the road back to the capital is open. Pack your things now, and we'll get ready to go back immediately."
Before the bodyguard could finish speaking, Li Chenxu interrupted him. They didn't have much time left, and if they stayed any longer, who knew what trouble might arise when Bai Ye returned.
"By the way, what should we do about that old man?"
Seeing that Li Chenxu was about to leave, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed his hand and asked, "Bai Ye's attitude has already explained everything. The old man is very likely one of Bai Ye's men, and even the red box and the key inside that Mu Xiaoyu and the others obtained might be fake."
Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that, given Li Chenxu's personality, he would definitely not let the matter rest and would thoroughly investigate the old man's affairs. However, to her surprise, Li Chenxu shook his head when he heard her words.
“This old man is probably not one of Bai Ye’s men. Think about it, if he really was one of Bai Ye’s men, he wouldn’t have told us about Bai Ye in the first place. It’s very likely that Bai Ye took advantage of the fact that the old man couldn’t speak and was deaf, so he thought that the old man couldn’t tell us about Bai Ye.”
Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't quite believe the old man, but since Li Chenxu had said so, and Mu Xiaoyu always trusted Li Chenxu, she didn't ask any more questions. She didn't say anything more after hearing this, and she and Li Chenxu embarked on their journey back to the capital.
A few hours later, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu returned to Beijing. Instead of going back to the villa, they went directly to the bank Mu Xiaoyu's mother had mentioned to retrieve the things Mu Pengzheng had left behind.
Originally, the events that happened in Mu Xiaoyu's hometown made Mu Xiaoyu suspect that the thing they had was also fake, but later Li Chenxu's words made Mu Xiaoyu dispel her previous thoughts.
However, obtaining the clues left by Mu Pengzheng is far from simple. Mu Pengzheng is such a cautious person that obtaining the evidence he left behind would require going through countless dangers. Otherwise, Bai Ye and his group might have obtained it long ago.
"Sir, Mr. Mu said before that in addition to having these keys and the like, Mrs. Mu must come to marry him in person."
