Hearing Zhao Bin's words, Xia Yanxi felt mixed feelings.

She knew that once things need to alarm Ji Beimu, it means that the problem has developed very seriously.

They have been in a lot of situations recently, and there must be many bribed people lurking beside them.

Thinking of this, her expression became more dignified.

However, in the next second, her hand was suddenly gently held by someone.

Xia Yanxi came back to her senses, looked down and saw Ji Beimu holding her hand, but her gaze was still on Fu Yan and Zhao Bin.

She blinked, looking at him in surprise.

But the man didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with his current actions, and continued to discuss the next plan with Fu Yan and Zhao Bin.

Xia Yanxi instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she thought of Fu Yan and Zhao Bin being present, she felt that doing so would really make Ji Beimu lose face, so in the end she continued to let him hold her hand hand.

She just stood quietly by the side, and the warmth from the man's palm was gradually conveyed, which inexplicably dispelled the uneasiness in her heart.

As for what they talked about next, she didn't listen to it at all, and only remembered that she was still confused when she left the study.

"Sister?" Xia Jinyuan was reading a book in the room, seeing her wandering look when she came in, couldn't help but waved her hand in front of her.

Xia Yanxi came back to her senses, and saw Xia Jinyuan pointing at her face, "Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Is my face very red?" Xia Yanxi walked quickly to the vanity mirror, and when she saw her flushed face reflected in the mirror, she pulled her lips in embarrassment.

Did she look like this when she was in the study just now?
Thinking that maybe Ji Beimu had noticed her reaction a long time ago, Xia Yanxi almost wanted to dig a hole to get in.

Holding her face in her hands, she found that it was not only red, but also very hot.

Xia Jinyuan folded his arms around his chest, thinking seriously like a little adult, "I find that every time Brother Beimu is around, you become very strange."

Hearing his words, Xia Yanxi was even more embarrassed.

But the real situation is indeed the case.

She couldn't find anything to refute, so she walked to the bed sullenly and lay down.

But this night, it was rare for her to sleep soundly, and the figure of that man appeared in her dreams from time to time...

When Xia Yanxi woke up the next day, her mental state was much better.

But as soon as she opened the door, she heard a commotion.

The butler's voice came over, "Third Master, I really don't have the face to stay here anymore, you better let me go."

Xia Yanxi paused, and then remembered that when Xia Jinyuan got food poisoning two days ago, the butler was about to resign because of self-blame.

Thinking of the housekeeper's caring care for them in the past, Xia Yanxi felt very reluctant and walked downstairs quickly.

Hearing footsteps, the butler looked up.

The moment his eyes met hers, he lowered his head in self-blame.

Ji Beimu was sitting on the sofa in the middle, his bony fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

There are not many expressions on his face, making it impossible to understand his emotions.

"Butler, are you really leaving?" Xia Yanxi asked the butler.

The housekeeper nodded, "I really have no face to stay here."

"But...you wait until that matter is investigated clearly, and then it's not too late to decide whether to leave or stay." Xia Yanxi suggested.

After the words fell, Ji Beimu raised his eyes to look at the housekeeper.

The butler pursed his lips, looking troubled.

Before he could speak, Ji Beimu stood up, "We'll talk about this matter later."

What he said meant that he didn't want the housekeeper to leave yet.

The butler looked at him with complicated emotions, and finally all expressions turned into gratitude, "Thank you, Third Master, for your trust."

Seeing the ending, Xia Yanxi heaved a sigh of relief.

But thinking that they were in a dangerous environment now, and they didn't know whether the person standing opposite them was an enemy or a friend, the smile on Xia Yanxi's face became bitter again.

Seeing Ji Beimu go out, she quickly followed.

"Third Master, what do you think of the housekeeper?" Xia Yanxi followed him to the back garden and asked softly.

The man gently pinched a small flower with his slender fingers, and asked, "Do you think I will doubt him?"

Xia Yanxi scratched her head, "I don't dare to make random guesses about this."

Of course, she didn't want the housekeeper to betray Ji Beimu, but now they don't know who is the ghost in this family.

Even if one day the housekeeper is revealed to be the one who betrayed Ji Beimu, she will not be surprised at all.

"That person is called Si Chengzhou." Ji Beimu said lightly again.

Xia Yanxi was stunned for a while, unable to understand what he meant by this.

The man looked back at her, and added patiently, "The one behind the scene."

Xia Yanxi suddenly realized, "Si Chengzhou? I've never heard of this name."

She said, frowning deeply, "I thought of an important thing. Before that, I also suspected that Fu Shao who suddenly appeared was a fake, so I used my nails to dig that person's face, but he There was blood."

It was precisely because of this that she had no doubts about that person's identity at that time.

"He went for plastic surgery specially for this plan." Ji Beimu said calmly.

"Plastic surgery?" Xia Yanxi's expression froze instantly, "So this is the reason why he pretended to be so real!"

Before that, someone pretended to be Fu Yan, but that person used a fake mask, so they exposed him right away.

But Si Chengzhou——

Xia Yanxi swallowed, feeling very creepy, "So what is his next plan? To achieve his own goal, he specially changed to look like Young Master Fu."

Plastic surgery requires a knife, and if you want to be exactly like another person, you must go through multiple operations.

Ji Beimu inserted the little flower in her hand into the hair next to her ear, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If you can completely wipe out my power, and then take down the entire Dongling Group, what do you think? Is it worth it to him?"

Xia Yanxi sighed lightly, "It's really worth it."

If you can really get those things, there will definitely be many people who will go for plastic surgery one after another.

The man stared at her and asked again: "If that person pretended to be me, would you recognize it?"

Xia Yanxi was stopped by this question, she blinked her eyes, "I..."

"Will it? Huh?" Ji Beimu's knuckle-boned fingers pinched her jaw, and the warm touch of his fingertips hit her, as if an electric current had passed through her heart.

Thinking of the flushed face she saw in the mirror when she went back to her room last night, Xia Yanxi immediately turned her head away to avoid his sight, "Third Master, I don't know."
