Chapter 247 Hidden secrets

At this moment, Bai You sat quietly in front of the antique desk, his slender and white fingers gently turning over a yellowed ancient book.

The sunlight streamed through the window onto him, creating mottled shadows that made him look like a tranquil painting. However, this tranquility was broken in an instant.

There was a loud "bang" and the door was pushed open by a huge force, and then a figure rushed in like a whirlwind.

This person was Bai Feifei. She was panting, with a few beads of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she had rushed here.

Bai You's eyes flickered with surprise at this sudden scene. He slowly put down the book in his hands, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.

Then, he slowly stood up, his deep eyes gazing at his sister in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and asked softly: "Fei Fei, why did you come back at this time? Is there something urgent?"

Bai Feifei no longer had the heart to greet her brother. She rushed straight to Bai You, put her hands on the desk, leaned forward, stared at her eldest brother's eyes with her beautiful eyes, and said bluntly: "Brother, I have something extremely important to ask you. It is about my second brother. Have you been hiding something from me all this time? No matter what, you must give me a clear explanation today!" As she spoke, her tone was hurried and firm, and her eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate people's souls and make them nowhere to hide.

Bai You's expression shifted slightly upon hearing his sister's words. However, he was a man of experience and experience, and in a split second, he quickly regained control of himself. The slightly distorted expression vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by his usual calm, composed demeanor.

"Fei Fei, please stop thinking about it! What happened to your brother happened so suddenly. It's a heavy blow to all of us. We all feel bad." The eldest brother looked at Bai Feifei solemnly and comforted her earnestly.

Bai Feifei bit her lip tightly, staring firmly into her brother's eyes, refusing to give in. "Brother, please stop hiding things from me and deceiving me. This matter definitely doesn't seem as simple as it seems. I can sense that there must be something hidden here. And I believe you must know something about it!"

Bai You fell silent upon hearing his sister's persistent questioning. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Silence reigned, save for the sound of their somewhat rapid breathing. After a long moment, Bai You, as if making up his mind, slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Feifei again.

He took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly, "Fei Fei, there are some things... well, they're really not for you to know. But since you insist, I can only tell you part of it. You must remember that your brother heroically sacrificed his life to protect our entire family. As for the specific details and reasons, now is not the time to let you know."

After hearing her brother's words, Bai Feifei felt more confused than relieved. She knew her brother's character well; if he hadn't had a compelling reason, he wouldn't have been so secretive. But what secret was it that made her brother so secretive?

"Then is my brother's death related to Cui Xueying?" Bai Feifei looked straight ahead with a serious face and spoke loudly, as if she was using all her strength to get a definite answer. No matter what, she must get to the bottom of it today!

Hearing this, Bai You's facial muscles twitched slightly, and a flicker of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He frowned and replied with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Didn't I tell you, your second brother's death was a complete accident and had nothing to do with anyone else! Stop imagining it."

He secretly wondered, how on earth did this girl know about Cui Xueying? Could it be that her return wasn't accidental, but someone had deliberately leaked the information to her? At this thought, Bai You couldn't help but rage, cursing inwardly, "Damn it! This is so damn damned abominable! Who is so talkative?"

Bai Feifei was already in tears, tears streaming down her fair cheeks. She pleaded in a trembling voice, "Brother, please, can you please tell me the truth? I'm no longer that ignorant little girl who needed your protection. I'm a grown-up now, able to face all difficulties on my own. Why can't you just tell me the truth? Why?..." By the end, she was practically breaking down in tears, her body trembling slightly with grief.
