Chapter 471: Heartless (1/2)

However, since they haven't exposed his lies, he wouldn't expose the other party's pretense either.

Baili Yu then glanced at the three young men standing behind Stronghold Master Lin before stopping on Xiao Siyuan. ”Xiao gongzi.”

Xiao Siyuan hadn't expected for Baili Yu to call him out and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. It couldn't be that Baili Yu had come today due to the incident at the brothel last time, right?

He glanced towards Su Yi. City Lord Su?

Wasn't he Tang Doudou's Master?

Were they really here to make him pay for that?

As these thoughts raced through his mind, he stepped forward from behind Stronghold Master Lin and saluted towards Baili Yu. ”Siyuan greets Resplendent Prince.”

Xiao Siyuan's mother was the current General Mu's main wife. Due to the Xiao family laws, daughters of the Xiao family that married out had their second sons use the surname of the maternal family. With this relationship and the current situation, Xiao Siyuan's address of Resplendent Prince was perfectly appropriate.

Baili Yu nodded with a smile. ”Xiao gongzi, remember what someone had said to you a couple days ago?”

When he said this, Xiao Siyuan immediately recalled that he had agreed to meet Tang Doudou in three days. It was already two days past that day. Could it be that Baili Yu came because Tang Doudou was impatient from waiting but couldn't come herself?

He had no idea that Tang Doudou had already forgotten about that agreement due to He Xiaoqin's matter and had already fallen off a cliff.

He Xiaoqin's thoughts whirled, then he nodded and said, ”I remember. It was Siyuan's negligence for having forgotten. Resplendent Prince, please bring Alliance Head this message that Siyuan will definitely visit tomorrow to apologize.”

Baili Yu glanced at him, then abruptly said, ”Doudou has already fallen off a cliff. It's unknown whether she's still alive.”

Everyone present other than Su Yi were astonished to hear this.

Xiao Siyuan was even more taken aback than the rest. Could the reason that so many unusual figures visited today be due to this?

Mu Ye had also come because Tang Doudou had fallen off the cliff?

But why had Mu Ye come to look for Bai Feiyun?

Could it be…

”If Xiao gongzi wishes to apologize to my wife, I'm afraid it won't be possible.” Baili Yu's tone still contained a hint of a smile. He didn't seem in pain from losing his beloved wife at all, so everyone present was confused.

The only person who wasn't confused was Lin Shuxuan.

When he snapped out of the shock, he immediately shouted, ”This definitely isn't true! How could Lady Tang suddenly fall off a cliff for no reason? And you guys don't even know whether she's still alive?”

Baili Yu's gaze shot towards him.

Lin Shuxuan said, ”Furthermore, it's not like Baili gongzi is someone incapable. How could you possibly allow anything to happen to Lady Tang?”

After saying that, he forced a laugh. ”Baili gongzi's messing with us, right?”

”Shuxuan!” No one present expressed support or disagreement with his words. After a few moments of silence, Stronghold Master Lin berated him, then turned towards Baili Yu and asked, ”How does Baili gongzi want us to help?”

Baili Yu retrieved his gaze and continued speaking with a smile, but his tone was extremely cold. ”Hand over Bai Feiyun.”

This made everyone look at each other again. Why was he also asking for Bai Feiyun?

Stronghold Master Lin said, ”Bai gongzi? Bai gongzi left two days ago. We don't know where he is now either. I'm afraid we won't be able to help Baili gongzi with this.”

Baili Yu knew that this wasn't a lie. Since Bai Feiyun had feigned leaving before coming back to stay in the city lord's residence, he definitely wouldn't show himself or allow anyone to find any trace of him.

Stronghold Master Lin also seemed to realize this as he then said, ”As long as City Lord Xu doesn't mind, we're willing to let Baili gongzi search the residence to see if Bai gongzi is here.”

It truly saved time to speak with an intelligent person.

Baili Yu smiled with satisfaction. ”Then we'll have to trouble you.”

”Ha, it's just a small matter,” replied Stronghold Master Lin with a smile. Neither of them showed much reaction to Tang Doudou's death. They got up, then headed to the courtyard together to gather their subordinates to start searching the residence.

Lin Shuxuan was very annoyed to see this. He fell to the back and pulled Xiao Siyuan as he said angrily, ”Back then when Baili Yu ended up missing, Lady Tang had searched without rest for him and suffered so much. But now that Lady Tang has fallen down a cliff and her current situation is unknown, he didn't even go to the bottom of the cliff to look for Lady Tang and came here instead to cause Bai gongzi trouble. He's seriously heartless!”

Although he said this quietly, everyone present had inner strength had could hear very well, so they heard this clearly.

No one reacted much. Xiao Siyuan shook his head and explained quietly, ”Brother Lin, this matter isn't simple. From what Baili gongzi, I'm afraid that Alliance Head falling down the cliff is probably strongly connected to Bai gongzi. Otherwise, Baili gongzi wouldn't go through all this trouble either.”
