The continuous knocking from outside the door echoed persistently, causing Wang Yan and Beiming Xue to grow increasingly flustered. At this point, even Wang Yan had no idea what to do.

Could they open the door now and let everyone know they'd been in the bedroom together for two days?

"Miss, Miss, please open the door, there's a guest here." When there was no answer, the servant outside called out urgently.

With Beiming Xue remaining silent, the people in the living room grew curious. Qin Tian, Ma Jun, and Hu Wei all stood up and exchanged glances, sensing something unusual as they gradually made their way towards the upstairs bedroom.

Too many strange things were happening now—Mountain Cannon had disappeared, Wang Yan was missing, and now Beiming Xue was hiding in her bedroom, unresponsive. This inevitably raised suspicion among Qin Tian and the others.

The three quickly reached Beiming Xue's bedroom, pushed aside the servant, and prepared to attack simultaneously. The chubby Hu Wei approached the door, lifting his foot, ready to stomp on the door.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Beiming Xue stood behind it.

Seeing Beiming Xue appear unharmed, the servant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Miss, you've finally come out. We were so worried about you not leaving the room for over a day."

Beiming Xue quickly replied, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt the urge to sleep."

Hu Wei immediately lowered his foot upon seeing Beiming Xue appear, yet still glanced uneasily into the bedroom.

The bedroom was empty, except for an open window letting in a breeze that blew the curtains high. There was nothing unusual to be seen.

Beiming Xue asked Ma Jun and the others, "Why are you three here?"

Ma Jun quickly replied, "We came to find the Boss. Xue'er, do you know where he went?"

Upon hearing they were indeed looking for Wang Yan, Beiming Xue's pale face suddenly blushed, and she shook her head, whispering, "I don't know, I haven't seen him."

Ma Jun, being honest, was disappointed to hear Beiming Xue hadn't seen Wang Yan. He said, "Oh, alright, then we'll search elsewhere."

While the two were talking, Hu Wei's gaze never left Beiming Xue's bedroom. Seeing the messy state inside, he couldn't help but smile mischievously.

Upon seeing Beiming Xue denying meeting Wang Yan, Hu Wei's eyes twinkled with mischief, and he shouted, "We're in trouble now; if we can't find Wang Yan, Mountain Cannon will die."

Hu Wei's voice was loud, almost a shout.

Ma Jun looked at Hu Wei curiously and said, "Why are you shouting? We're standing so close; everyone can hear."

However, Hu Wei ignored Ma Jun's remark and continued shouting, "We should go quickly; any further delay and Mountain Cannon won't be saved."

With that, Hu Wei pulled Ma Jun and Qin Tian, heading downstairs.

Ma Jun was puzzled, while Qin Tian immediately understood Hu Wei's intention and followed him down the stairs.

The three walked downstairs to Elder Beiming, ready to say goodbye and leave.

At this moment, Beiming Xue finally calmed down and hurriedly followed, asking, "What's going on? What happened to Mountain Cannon?"

Ma Jun was about to answer but was pulled back by Hu Wei, who said, "This matter can only be discussed with the Boss. Since the Boss is not here, we should just leave."

Ma Jun was even more confused and softly asked Hu Wei, "Xue'er isn't an outsider, why not tell her?"

Hu Wei whispered in Ma Jun's ear, "It's not about not telling; it's to draw out the Boss. Just watch, the Boss will appear soon."

Ma Jun remained perplexed, blinking, unable to fathom how Wang Yan could suddenly appear.

At this moment, a servant walked in from outside, saying, "Elder, Miss, Wang Yan is here."

Hearing this, Ma Jun's eyes lit up as he looked at Hu Wei, deeply surprised.

The crowd turned to see Wang Yan rushing in hurriedly, so hurried he didn't even greet Elder Beiming. He anxiously asked Hu Wei, "What's happened to Mountain Cannon? What exactly is going on?"

Hu Wei scanned Wang Yan's body, sniffed him, and laughed, "Hey, Boss, why do I smell perfume on you? And what's with the red mark on your neck; did someone hit you?"

Upon hearing Hu Wei's words, everyone turned to look at Wang Yan's neck and indeed saw a red mark there.

Wang Yan quickly raised his hand, lifted his collar to hide the red mark.

However, Qin Tian and the others in the room were Demon Cultivators. Though their cultivation was not as high as Wang Yan's, they had sharp eyes, and before Wang Yan hid it completely, they had already seen what the red mark on Wang Yan's neck was.

The red mark was clearly a lip-shaped imprint.

Seeing this, everyone understood the situation and couldn't help but look at Wang Yan with teasing eyes.

Even though Elder Beiming hadn't seen it, with his years of wisdom, he could guess the general situation from Beiming Xue and Wang Yan's changing expressions, leading him to smile gently.

Wang Yan's face turned red, and he quickly said, "What are you all looking at? Hurry and tell me what's happened to Mountain Cannon."

Ma Jun hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Boss, Mountain Cannon is missing. We've searched all day and can't find him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's eyes hardened as he said, "They dared to capture Mountain Cannon? Capturing Mountain Cannon is likely just a ruse; I'm afraid there's a bigger conspiracy behind it. Let's go."

In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan regained his composure and authority.

Seeing this, Hu Wei and the others couldn't help but admire him, thinking that indeed he was the leader's style, being carefree in romance yet decisive in handling crises.

Wang Yan turned and left the living room, with Hu Wei and the others quickly following behind.

Beiming Xue stood in the living room, hesitating whether to follow Wang Yan.

Then, she heard Elder Beiming say, "Since you've made your choice, go with him."

Beiming Xue turned back to see Elder Beiming's kind and gentle face.

Her heart warmed, her face reddened, and Beiming Xue softly murmured an acknowledgment before immediately chasing after Wang Yan.

Upon catching up next to Wang Yan, Hu Wei and the others subtly stepped aside to give Beiming Xue a place beside Wang Yan, while all three simultaneously called out, "Sister-in-law."

Hearing this address, Beiming Xue's face turned beet red as she lowered her head, secretly glancing at Wang Yan.

But this time, Wang Yan didn't display the usual confusion but instead smiled warmly, turning to give Beiming Xue a soft look.

Seeing Wang Yan's smile made Beiming Xue feel immensely secure, and she softly hummed an acknowledgment to Hu Wei and the others.

Watching the five slowly walk away, Elder Beiming, looking over from afar, smiled and nodded, saying, "I can finally be at ease; Xue'er has dependable support for life."

Meanwhile, at the Xiahou Group, Toyota Choji looked at Xiahou Que in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to be a smart dog. I'll leave the Beiming Group to you; if you succeed, you can handle Beiming Xue as you wish."
