☆ What's going on in Chapter 351?

Seeing this, Gu Nan stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"Something happened at the company."

After saying that, he whispered a few words of comfort to Si Youlin, and then led Gu Nan outside.

Gu Nan noticed that Si Yanxiao was reluctant to talk earlier, so she finally asked, "What happened at the company? Is it serious?"

Si Yanxiao continued walking, his eyes slightly sharp, and replied in a deep voice, "It was Bai Zhuwei on the phone. She said she was willing to help."

"Help?" Gu Nan's face showed displeasure, and she scoffed, "What help can she be at a time like this? It's good enough if she doesn't make things worse!"

Si Yanxiao glanced at him sideways with his lowered eyes and said sarcastically in a cold voice, "Isn't it because you made everything public?"

He paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, before continuing in a deep voice, "But I'm quite curious what she'll say..."

His tone was ambiguous, and Gu Nan couldn't help but look up at him suspiciously, her face showing confusion.

Bai Zhuwei arrived a step ahead of the other two and had reserved a private room. She originally thought that only Si Yanxiao would come to the appointment, but she didn't expect that Gu Nan would also be with him.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhuwei was taken aback for a moment, then invited them to sit down.

A bitter feeling welled up inside him, but he still managed to ask in a teasing tone, "Ayan, did you bring someone along to avoid suspicion?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nan was stunned. He had originally thought that Si Yanxiao was just using him as a shield, and he really hadn't expected this.

Seeing her question, Si Yanxiao did not refute it, but changed the subject and asked directly, "That's not important. What is the purpose of you calling me here this time?"

He had made it very clear that he hoped the two of them would not have any more contact, and after a few days of peace and quiet, he started to use the same old tricks again.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter concerned Ah Chen, he would never have come to see her when he was besieged on all sides.

When Bai Zhuwei saw that he did not deny it, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected that she had actually hit the nail on the head and guessed what he was thinking.

In the past, she would have definitely reprimanded and questioned his attitude at this point, but after the previous warnings, she no longer dared to be as arrogant as before.

He then pursed his lips slightly and replied in a low voice, "I know someone who happens to be practicing at the Xuanqing Temple. I inadvertently learned some things about that fake Taoist priest..."

As he spoke, he paused slightly, instantly piquing Si Yanxiao's curiosity.

Just as he was about to ask, Bai Zhuwei continued, "Not only that, I also inadvertently learned his escape route."

One sentence instantly hit the nail on the head. Unable to suppress his worry, Si Yanxiao quickly asked, "Where is he?!"

"I'm not sure of the exact location, I only know the general direction."

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao hurriedly asked, but Bai Zhuwei raised her eyes and looked at her quietly, a mysterious expression flashing across her face.

After a moment of hesitation, he slowly said, "I can tell you, but I have to go with you!"

"Why?" Before Si Yanxiao could speak, Gu Nan asked in surprise, "Does this kind of thing require two people to do it together?"

He originally had no problem with Bai Zhuwei, after all, what happened six years ago was just an accident in his eyes, something beyond human control.

Furthermore, Si Yanxiao harbored unusual feelings for her, and as his brother, he certainly couldn't stand idly by.

But ever since Jiang Ran was kidnapped, Bai Zhuwei's disguise has gradually been exposed, and not only Si Yanxiao, but even he is getting tired of seeing it.

Bai Zhuwei did not refute this, but instead replied in a low voice, "That Taoist priest has a rather strange temper, and given how much this matter involves, he is afraid of getting himself into trouble. I'm afraid he can't get any information out of anyone but me!"

Their words directly shut down any further rebuttals they might have had.

She has a wide network of connections and only recognizes her; even they can't help her.

Si Yanxiao's expression tightened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

————

After they parted ways, Gu Nan frowned slightly and couldn't help but advise, "Are you really going to agree? There are so many suspicious things about her now. What if she tries to pull some tricks again?"

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's lips tightened into a straight line, and a sinister look appeared between his brows. He replied coldly, "But she is our only hope now. Even if she's a fake, I have to give it a try!"

His tone was full of certainty. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Nan sighed softly but did not try to dissuade him further.

The old man kept calling to inquire about the situation, and having no other choice, Si Yanxiao had to go to the old house in person to explain the situation and calm him down.

Upon arriving at the old mansion, the butler was already waiting outside. Seeing Si Yanxiao get out of the car and walk towards him, a hint of anxiety flashed across his face, and he immediately asked, "How is the matter progressing?"

Si Yanxiao frowned slightly and slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, the butler immediately understood, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face, and then walked with him toward the hall.

The old man was sitting upright on the sofa. Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes slightly. After seeing who it was, he hurriedly got up, looking worried.

Si Yanxiao strode closer, and before the old man could ask any questions, he recounted the recent events and the latest developments to him.

As the old man listened, his expression grew increasingly somber. When he heard him mention cooperating with Bai Zhuwei, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he sternly shouted to stop him: "No way!"

"Don't you know what kind of person she is? All she wants is to marry into the Si family, how could she possibly genuinely help you find someone!"

"They are clearly dishonest and greedy!"

Si Yanxiao listened to the rebuke in his words, but did not speak up to refute Bai Zhuwei as he had done before.

He knew that the old man was prejudiced against Bai Zhuwei, and he originally did not want to say it directly, but now the old man had obviously gotten involved in the matter of finding someone.

Information sharing is a fundamental principle of cooperation, but I never expected the old man to be so hostile after hearing it.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao quickly explained, "But after all, she provided a lot of useful clues. No matter what, we have to give it a try, don't we?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression turned slightly stern, but he still maintained his disapproving stance.

Seeing the two arguing, the butler stepped in to smooth things over: "What if she's trying to use this opportunity to curry favor?"

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing across his face, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

The butler then explained, "She is determined to be with Ayan, and you are the biggest obstacle. It's not impossible for her to take this opportunity to win your favor."

The old man listened to the butler's explanation, his eyes flickered slightly, and he began to believe it a little more, his attitude towards Si Yanxiao softening somewhat.

Although he still disagreed, he was not as firm as before.

After discussing their next steps, Si Yanxiao excused himself and left.

The old man watched his departing figure, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes, before he sighed helplessly, "Stubborn to the end!"

The butler listened from the side, slowly shook his head, and stood aside to express his opinion in a low voice: "I think this could be an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" The old man looked puzzled upon hearing this.

The butler then spoke softly, explaining, "Yes, Bai Zhuwei took the initiative this time. If she can really find the person using the clues, then everyone will be happy."

"Even if you can't find her, don't be discouraged. After all, Ayan is already extremely busy under these circumstances. If she still dares to deceive us in this way, how would Ayan feel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man instantly understood the deeper meaning in his words. His eyes darkened slightly, and his expression remained unreadable.

On the other side, after leaving, Si Yanxiao went directly to find Bai Zhuwei and set off immediately as agreed.

Bai Zhuwei first went to the Xuanqing Temple and found a young Taoist priest. Si Yanxiao stood aside and asked him questions before he learned that the so-called Master Guanjing was just a Taoist priest who claimed to travel all over the world.

Taoists often stayed at each other's places, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But I never expected such a big problem to occur!

"Where is he now?" Bai Zhuwei asked repeatedly.

The young Taoist priest's gaze lingered briefly on Si Yanxiao before turning back to look at Bai Zhuwei, seemingly hesitant.

Seeing this, Bai Zhuwei pursed her lips slightly and explained in a low voice, "It's alright, please speak freely."

The young Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, then nodded slightly, and proceeded to give examples of Guan Jing's various unusual behaviors in their Taoist temple.
