Chapter 762: Uniting with Nico, Striking First (3)

Li Beinian did not seem surprised. She looked at Will seriously and nodded slowly. “I know.”

Will continued with a serious expression, “Then, are you aware that we have come to Xia Nation, not to look for this object, but for someone?”

Looking for someone?

Bei Yun and Bei Xiaonian were long dead, so of course they couldn’t be looking for these two people.

But at the same time that Li Beinian heard this, she already had an answer.

She calmly shifted her gaze away from Will and smiled. “Is that so? That’s a pity. I thought you were just here to look for this cane. Coincidentally, I know where it is now. But if you’re looking for someone, I’d probably not be able to help.”

As Li Beinian said these words, Will and Nico looked at her intently.

There was a hint of disappointment in Nico’s expression, but Will kept his eyes on Li Beinian and said, “I think we’ve found her now, Miss Beinian.”

“Oh?” Li Beinian’s expression was unchanged. She shifted her gaze. “Congratulations, then. However, I know where the ruby that belongs on this cane is.”

“You do?” Nico’s eyes flashed. His fingers dug forcefully into the top of his legs. “Beinian, there are other things that you know, is that right?”

“Other things?” Li Beinian did not bat an eyelid. She raised her brow slightly, asking, “What other things?”

“Why wouldn’t you ask who it is we’re looking for?” Will asked. “Do you already know?”

Will wasn’t the only one curious about this.

Nico’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “Beinian...”

“I’m simply not curious.” Li Beinian’s expression was calm. She did not avoid his gaze, but looked straight at him. “The girl Lin Kerou has a grudge against me. If you wish to retrieve the object from her, you could, as a matter of convenience, help me take revenge. But you said that you were looking for a person, in which case, I’m really not interested.”

Li Beinian smiled and glanced at them. “However, I have more to say.”

As she spoke, Li Beinian set her cell phone aside. “Since I’ve come this far, I’ll feel uncomfortable if I don’t finish what I have to say.”

“Please go ahead.” Will gestured for her to continue.

Tapping her fingers lightly on the table, Li Beinian spoke unhurriedly, “Lin Ya and Lin Kerou created a picture.” She opened her phone picture gallery, placed it on the table and continued, “Lin Kerou ran a facial feature comparison against you. From what I know, the Rothschild family’s assets are extremely significant. However, because of a few things that happened to you back then, there are now some loopholes concerning your inheritance rights, and this is it.”

Li Beinian pointed at the cane in the photograph.

Nico narrowed his eyes and looked at the photograph without speaking.

Will was aware of this, of course he understood.

This item was a token of love from the head of the Rothschild family, and Nico had given it to Bei Xiaonian.

Later on, for various reasons, Nico did not revisit Xia Nation after returning to England.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come, but he couldn’t leave.

After he returned to England, he was closely monitored and his personal freedom was tightly restricted. There was no way for him to escape.

This situation continued for two years. By the time Nico successfully regained his freedom, a few years had passed.

Alas, the next piece of news that he had heard regarding Bei Xiaonian was her death.
