Chapter 721 - 711 Inquiry
Wei Ming looked at the young man in front of him. The brilliant, unwavering star-like eyes remained calm, looking at him with an expressionless, delicate face. After a moment, the tightly pressed lips suddenly curved into a mocking smile.The young man’s red lips lightly parted, and he spoke slowly, "Officer Wei, do you want to hear my answer?"
Suddenly straightening up, Wei Ming stared firmly at the young man. Bi Xia supported his body and slowly stood up, one hand in his pocket, walking around the desk to Wei Ming’s side. Leaning slightly, he slowly said, "I do indeed have a feud with the Xu Family."
His eyes shot directly at the young man who had stood up and walked to the sofa. Wei Ming’s cold eyes were half-closed, neither acknowledging nor denying the statement. Ignoring the former half, he answered the latter half. Bi Xia, you are indeed interesting!
"Officer Wei, you’ve been here for quite a while, discussing many things with me, all to find out whether this matter was done by Zhan Jiu of the Nine Pavilion. You could have said it directly, no need to circle around with me."
Bi Xia’s star-like eyes were indifferent, his voice cold, "Since I’ve answered your question, I wonder if you’d be interested in hearing my opinion, as someone both outside and inside this matter?"
Wei Ming slightly frowned. His face showed deep bitterness and frustration, but inwardly, he was contemplating. This kid is famously smart, might as well listen, perhaps it could open up a new path.
"The matter with Bi Jian Country to you all undoubtedly involves the following points."
Bi Xia extended one finger, "First, it involves the Xia Family."
"If it were an ordinary Xia Family, it wouldn’t matter, but this Xia Family happens to be that of the culinary god Xia Jingshen’s, and the one being bullied is Xia Jingshen, my grandfather’s daughter. So, you have to be careful. Though my grandfather is missing, he has countless friends, and a disagreement could lead to them spitting at you endlessly."
As he spoke, he extended the second finger, "Second, it involves the Xu Family."
"I already know what Bi Jian Country did to Xu Liren and Bi Xue, including his true identity. And no matter the time or place, to someone like Bi Qingyun who has nothing, the Xu Family is undoubtedly the prime suspect. Only they would help Bi Jian Country accomplish all this, because Xu Liren already has Bi Jian Country’s child."
"I think there are two... no, three things you don’t know."
"First," Xu Liren and my mother were arch-enemies when they were young. After my grandfather brought my mother to Qing City, the Xu Family’s branch also came here. Bi Qingyun was Xu Liren’s college classmate and boyfriend, and Bi Qingyun’s pursuit of my mother was Xu Liren’s plan."
"Second, everything Xu Liren and Bi Qingyun did is known to the Bi Family."
"Third," Bi Xia paused, expressionless, "Bi Qingyun took my grandfather’s Xia Family cookbook. So the reason the Xu Family wants to save Bi Qingyun entirely hinges on the Xia Family recipes in Bi Qingyun’s possession."
Wei Ming deeply looked at Bi Xia, "How do you know everything so clearly? Didn’t you say you knew nothing?"
Listening to Wei Ming’s words, Bi Xia’s lips curved into a meaningful smile, "Officer Wei, you can consider it my extensive network, and, as for my own family matters, don’t I know better than you?"
Wei Ming choked, "I just..."
"Officer Wei," Bi Xia looked indifferently at Wei Ming, "Rather than getting hung up here on whether I’m Zhan Jiu or how I know all this, you should investigate the Xu Family. After all, everyone is watching Bi Qingyun’s case now."
"Alright, then I’ll ask one last question," Wei Ming looked at Bi Xia, "Bi Qingyun’s mother and brother, where have they gone?"
