"What's going on?" After Dean Jiang brought back Lu Wu and Lu Ji, who were filled with resentment, Bai Yueyue and Qin Ye frowned as they looked at the two people in front of them.
Lu Wu and Lu Ji both had bruises on their faces, clearly indicating that they had been beaten up.
"It's none of your business, and you have nothing to do with us, so why should you interfere?"
"Slap him." Qin Ye said calmly. He didn't even need his personal attendant to do it; his temporary bodyguards would handle this kind of thing.
The two didn't expect to learn anything from them about their situation.
“Young Miss…” Bai Yueyue’s informant, who was placed next to the two of them, explained the matter.
Unable to find work, Lu Wu and Lu Ji saw a man dressed in fine clothes with a jade pendant on his waist and decided to steal it, but they were caught and severely beaten.
"Where's the jade pendant?" Bai Yueyue asked.
"They're gone. If I hadn't intervened, they would have been killed by that man," the servant replied.
“They deserve it, Sister Bai Yueyue. They have tarnished our reputation. I suggest they be executed,” Qin Ye said. He was now the head of this orphanage, and many things would be blamed on him. Qin Ye absolutely could not accept such a disgraceful thing.
Bai Yueyue looked at everyone. The decision-making power rested with her; she needed to order the punishment of the two. Rubbing her temples, she felt this kind of thing was too much of a headache: "Let's hand them over to the police. Tell them they don't need to consider my and Qin Ye's feelings. Besides, where is the owner of the jade pendant now?"
“Yes, Miss, the other party specifically requested that you go alone,” the servant said.
"Specifically requested that I go?" Bai Yueyue blinked suspiciously. Was the person someone she knew? Or was it someone else, someone more troublesome? Should she go alone?
"Mei'er, should I go to ask Mother for help in this situation?" Bai Yueyue didn't think she was that capable. If the other party was someone like Zhou Qing, Bai Yueyue believed that she was likely to run into trouble.
"Yes, Miss."
"Sister Bai Yueyue, I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. As the mayor's adopted daughter, how can you expect others to see you whenever they want?" Qin Ye was dissatisfied, believing that Bai Yueyue's performance today was terrible and completely lacked the dignity of the mayor's family.
“Qin Ye, as the person in charge, we definitely need to discuss a solution with them in this situation,” Bai Yueyue said. “Especially in this case where we don’t know the other party’s identity, yet they specifically asked me to go alone, I should go in person.”
If the other party were just an ordinary person, a servant could have gone. But since the other party was dressed in finery and specifically requested Bai Yueyue to go in person, then the other party must have a high status. People without status wouldn't even know Bai Yueyue, and their purpose is quite obvious—they're here for her.
As for danger? Given Bai Yueyue's past experience, shouldn't the person who dared to specifically ask her to go alone be more concerned about whether she would be in danger? The only person who could conquer her by force was Nianxin in the past.
If it were someone from Asia City, it would be easier to handle. Bai Yueyue was worried that the other party was from the capital, which meant that Lu Wu and Lu Ji had really gotten themselves into big trouble.
Bai Yueyue definitely needed to handle this uncertainty personally. She also needed Li Jieyue's instructions, at least to give her some peace of mind.
"Miss, Madam allows you to go, but you can only handle matters concerning Lu Wu and Lu Ji. You must refuse all other matters on the grounds that you are not engaged and Madam needs to make the decision. You are also required to remember the physical characteristics of the other party, and it would be best to have a photograph," Hu Meier said after returning.
"I understand." Bai Yueyue nodded. The last point was the easiest; even without a phone, Bai Yueyue could use magic to recreate the other person's appearance.
The biggest problem is that Bai Yueyue is worried that she has too little experience in handling this kind of situation and is easily tricked.
He could only hope that his personal attendant could stop him in time.
"Qin Ye, do you need to come with me?" Bai Yueyue looked at Qin Ye. If she brought this fool along, he might be able to help her distract herself.
Qin Ye said with dissatisfaction, "Sister Bai Yueyue, I am the second son of the mayor. How could I easily show myself in front of outsiders? Since the other party specifically requested that you go alone, then you must go by yourself. I still have to complete my work."
Huh, is this Qin Ye? I'm so annoyed! Wasn't I here to teach Qin Ye a lesson? How come I'm the one being taught a lesson instead? This is really unpleasant.
"Then I'll leave it to you to deal with Lu Wu and Lu Ji, but all you need to do is send them to the police station!" Bai Yueyue was quite certain that, given Qin Ye's, or rather, the aristocratic, personality, without her intervention, the two of them would be lucky to still be alive.
After leaving a few servants to supervise Qin Ye, Bai Yueyue headed to where the man was.
"Lady Bai Yueyue, my young master is already waiting for you. Please allow me to take you there." As soon as Bai Yueyue arrived, a man dressed as a butler appeared and gestured for her to go.
"I allow you."
Young Master? Even someone as self-important as Qin Zijing wouldn't call herself the young master of the Qin family.
However, this familiar conversation confirmed Bai Yueyue's suspicion that the other party was definitely a nobleman, and probably not of low status, since even the butler's clothes were quite luxurious and expensive.
Led by the other party, Bai Yueyue, accompanied by Hu Meier and Cui Ye, arrived at a private meeting room in a hotel. This hotel was not owned by the Bai family, but it was still one of the top hotels in Asia City.
Therefore, Bai Yueyue was even more puzzled that there was not a single person in such a place, and even the waiters had all been replaced by servants dressed in men's clothing.
