Nico had been lamenting over the years that he hadn’t said a proper goodbye to her.
They never had official status as a couple; even the knowledge that she had given birth to their child came to him only five years after she died.
And now that he had finally come to Xia Nation, so much had changed.
To Nico, this was the biggest regret of his life.
Hence, coming to Xia Nation again to locate this cane was only the tip of the iceberg.
In reality, Nico was here to look for someone.
He was here to look for his child, the child he had with Bei Xiaonian.
Before coming to Xia Nation, Nico had already prepared a backup plan for himself.
After all, he felt so guilt-ridden.
He was hoping that if possible, he would want to spend the rest of his life in Xia Nation to atone for what he had done to Bei Xiaonian.
For this reason, he had already made a will: If he did not return to his family in England, his daughter may go back, in his stead, to the Rothschild family, to inherit what should have been his.
However, this should have been a closely-guarded secret that not many people knew about.
Even the core members of the Rothschild family knew very little about this.
On the other hand, Li Beinian knew that the problem was with the cane. Someone close to him must have leaked the information.
However, judging from her expression, it was likely that she knew only part of the whole story.
Nico pondered for a moment before he spoke, “Can you tell me what you know? I’m guessing that there’s a traitor in our family.”
“I think so too.” Li Beinian sorted out her thoughts. “You’re in England and far from home; whereas the Lin family of Xia Nation is so distant yet covets the Rothschild estate. My guess is that Lin Ya alone will not be able to achieve his goal.”
As Li Beinian spoke, she pulled out another photograph from her gallery. “P.I.T. International mercenary organization. I wonder if you’ve heard of them.”
Nico looked grave. “I’ve had an unpleasant experience with them.”
“That sounds right.” Li Beinian came to a conclusion. “Could someone in your family be collaborating with the P.I.T. to get rid of you?”
Nico didn’t answer directly, but asked instead, “Why do you say that?”
“There’s only one external party and it’s impossible for them to know about the internal situation of your family. So the news must have come from an insider. The people who came today were also from an international mercenary organization. They’ve already started moving in on this.”
Li Beinian followed her train of thought and concluded. “Someone in your family teamed up with the P.I.T. to work with Lin Ya. This person in your family and the P.I.T. are responsible for getting rid of you, while Lin Ya is responsible for faking your child’s identity so that they may access inheritance rights after your death.”
Nico shuddered at these words. Then he turned to look at Will.
Will’s expression was solemn, but very quickly, he felt that it was rather far-fetched and replied, “Miss Beinian, this is just your speculation.”
“Yes, it’s just my speculation.” Li Beinian pursed her lips. “But I know that if you don’t believe this speculation, you may lose your lives, and Mr. Nico’s daughter will be persecuted, just so that they can seize the inheritance rights of your family in England.”
Nico didn’t speak. He clenched his hand lightly. After a long time, he looked up at Li Beinian and asked, “May I know, how you found out all these things?”
“You might not believe it if I told you,” Li Beinian said solemnly. “I have a special ability to dream about what will happen in the future.”
Anyone would find such words absurd.
