The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress-Chapter 857 - 333, come and check with me!_2

Bai Family.

As soon as the news had aired, Bai Qiming had sat in his office and heaved a sigh of relief before calling Bai Shaoke and Bai Shaoqi. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Has this affected you at all?" he asked.

Bai Shaoke had already returned from the laboratory; he temporarily couldn’t stay at school and was only in the Yin Family’s hall.

Holding his phone by the floor-to-ceiling windows, he said, "The situation is still unclear, but the teacher said I could follow up on the project tomorrow."

In the hall, Mrs. Song glanced at Mr. Yin and then at Song Min and Bai Shaoke, showing some hesitation. "What... exactly happened to her? Has the Bai Family truly disassociated from her publicly?"

Although Bai Lian had previously been expelled from the family tree, Mrs. Song knew that the family elder had never reconciled to it.

Everyone knew that Bai Qiming had frequently visited Jiangjing for the past year, hoping to find an opportunity to bring Bai Lian back to the Bai Family.

Bai Lian had not given them a chance, but the Bai Family would not give up either.

Now that they had made it public, the media and the public were aware, and the possibility of Bai Lian returning was virtually non-existent.

Song Min pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.

"I heard from Shaoke that it’s a serious matter," Mr. Yin put down his teacup and said unhurriedly, "It’s probably for the best to disassociate."

Gao Family.

Gao Yi slowly set down his teacup and slightly raised his eyes. "I’ve already asked about this through the Safety Bureau, and you should also avoid going back to the Mu Family for now to avoid getting involved."

Mu Youjun started at his words.

She recalled that Bai Lian had previously been on good terms with that member of the Jiang Family. Now it seemed, were they truly unrelated?

Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Jiang Family bail her out?

She left the room, feeling unsettled.

Calling Mu Yining, Mu Youjun, as a member of the Mu Family, naturally couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

But this time...

"Yining, what exactly did she do?" Mu Youjun also felt unsure, "The Gao Family can’t handle it now; have you contacted the Jiang Family?"

Mu Yining was also in turmoil and definitively stated, "Alian definitely hasn’t done anything wrong."

"It’s not about whether she’s done anything wrong, do you understand?" Mu Youjun stepped outside.

Mu Yining probably knew about this.

Mu Xiangguang had already gone out to contact his old friends; once he mentioned it was the Safety Bureau stepping in, most people were helpless.

"What should we do then? Can’t you do anything?" Shen Qing stood next to Ji Shaojun, clutching him, her eyes desperate, "You should find Xiaochen, and Mr. Yue..."

Ji Mulan was holding a child and sat aside.

At this time, she didn’t disdain Shen Qing.

She also looked at Mu Yining.

Among the people she knew, Mu Yining was the one of the highest status she had met.

"Calm down, this isn’t something that can be resolved just by contacting them," the butler handed Shen Qing a glass of water, "The Safety Bureau, that’s an independent entity under their own governance; their only equal is the CLA, I guess..."

"CLA?" Both Shen Qing and Ji Mulan hadn’t heard of it.

They didn’t know what sort of organization this was.

Upon hearing that even Director Chen couldn’t handle it this time, Shen Qing sat on one side, dazed, "Then... what do we do now?"

The butler didn’t explain further and just looked towards the door, "We’ll wait for the master to return before we discuss further."

Mu Xiangguang had already gone out to contact his old friends.

The small black room.

Bai Lian still sat in the chair, the people here were playing psychological games with her.

In the pitch-black room devoid of any concept of time and without any electronic devices, a person could go mentally unstable over a prolonged period.

Yet, Bai Lian showed no signs of distress on her face.

She leaned slightly against the back of the wooden chair, her eyes slightly narrowed, her right hand resting on the armrest, her slender fingers tapping the armrest intermittently.

Very rhythmically.

Having once crossed through a sea of corpses, the psychological tactics she faced now were trivial to her.

In her mind, she constantly arranged and recombined the code given to her by Scholar Ma, this string of code...

What was its purpose?

It was rare to have such a quiet place for her to think.

Su Xu was still outside.

In the monitoring room, people were watching Bai Lian 24 hours a day, continuously observing her situation.

"Team Su, she’s been maintaining this posture the whole time," said the person in charge of surveillance as he stood up, amazed at the young woman’s persistence, "Continuing like this is meaningless."

Su Xu frowned.

"Team Su, Jiang University called again," outside, one of Su Xu’s subordinates was holding a phone, "The president of Jiang University said we’ve arrested someone from their Tongfeng class and are reporting it to the higher-ups."

The Chen Family couldn’t reach them, but Jiang University could report to higher authorities.

The president of Jiang University was not one to be trifled with.

Su Xu looked at the monitor screen, where Bai Lian was still comfortably seated, seemingly sensing Su Xu’s scrutinizing gaze, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly into the camera that Su Xu was watching.

On the screen, her apricot eyes seemed colorless yet incredibly captivating.

It made Su Xu involuntarily step back.

After a long moment, he regained his composure.

As if not believing he’d been startled by a young girl, he pursed his lips, "What business dos Jiang University have in this?"

The walkie-talkie in his hand buzzed, and Su Xu answered, surprised, "Commander?"

"Is Bai Lian still with you? Release her." Only one sentence.

However, Su Xu himself was very suspicious of Bai Lian, and letting her go now?

He immediately turned to find his immediate superior.

At midnight, the lights were still on in the director’s office of the Safety Bureau.

When Su Xu entered, the director was brewing tea.

"Commander," Su Xu went straight in, his eyebrows furrowed, "We were close to some progress, and you’re asking me to release her now."

"Let her go," the director, dressed in a formal suit, looked up, "Her family has no issues, and you’ve been investigating for several days with no progress."

"She’s highly suspicious, there are question marks all over her," Su Xu looked at the director, shaking his head, "You saw it yourself, her demeanor hasn’t changed even after several days in the dark room. Her background is definitely problematic; I request a thorough investigation of her family and friends!"

It was then that a deep, resonant voice came from outside, "Director Sun, to scrutinize my granddaughter’s connections, what right does the Safety Bureau have to investigate us? If you wish to investigate, then take this old man too."

Ji Heng entered from outside.

He slapped two badges down in front of Su Xu.
