Kapitel 205: Comfort Them With A Lie

"What?!" Li Xueyue hissed, turning to face Ning Huabing in utter disbelief. They hadn't even reached the drawing room! 

Ning Huabing nervously gulped. "I spent so many weeks attempting to gather more information and evidence that can oust Bai Tianai, but then, all of a sudden, the henchmen I sent out came back yesterday night with urgent news. They rushed to my manor, reporting the Bai Family literally up and left!"

"How is that possible?" Li Xueyue asked. "Their entire life revolves around Hechen. Doesn't the Bai Family have a large trading port there? How can they just abandon it?"

"The thing is, the Bai Trading Ports weren't abandoned! All work resumed as per normal, except for the harsh hit they took before the Bai Family's disappearance. Something about pirates looting the exports."
