Chapter 362 Identity Crisis

One-Eyed Dragon responded and quickly brought over the things.

After he left, Bai Shu closed the door and took out the white jade bottle from his pocket.

She unscrewed the cap, poured a few drops of spiritual spring water into her palm, then walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside.

Three days.

She only has three days.

Bai Zhu took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the stove.

She took out some medicinal herbs from her spatial storage and began to brew them.

But the medicine she brewed wasn't for Lu Jingyan.

It was a drug that sedated her.

High doses of potent sedatives.

This drug is colorless and odorless. It takes effect within half an hour of dissolving in water, causing the user to fall into a deep sleep for four to six hours.

Most importantly, this medicine is harmless to the body, and after waking up, apart from feeling a little dizzy, there will be no aftereffects.

I stayed up all night with Atractylodes macrocephala.

By the time dawn was breaking, she had more than a dozen packets of medicine powder in her hand.

She divided the powder into several portions, put them into different paper packets, and then hid them in her bosom.

After doing all this, she lay down on the bed and dozed off for a while.

The next morning, Qin Zheng knocked on the door.

"Young Miss, the man with the goatee asked me to tell you that you can go out to buy medicinal herbs today."

Bai Shu opened her eyes, sat up, and asked, "How many people?"

"It's just me," Qin Zheng said.

Bai Zhu nodded, "Go."

She pulled a piece of paper from her pocket, on which was a map of the base's defenses.

This is what she has been writing down little by little over the past two days.

"Give this to the people outside," Bai Shu said. "Have them coordinate with the fire-starting operation precisely on the third night."

Qin Zheng took the paper, read it carefully, and then nodded, "Understood."

He walked to the door, then turned back. "Miss, please be careful."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry."

After Qin Zheng left, Bai Shu stood up and walked to the stove.

She took out a packet of medicine powder from her bosom and poured it into the medicinal soup she had prepared the night before.

The powder dissolved upon contact with the liquid, leaving no trace.

Bai Zhu carried the medicine bowl out of the room and walked along the corridor toward Lu Jingyan's stone chamber.

She stopped as she passed the kitchen.

Several people were preparing breakfast in the kitchen. A large pot of porridge was cooking, and several buckets of water were placed next to it.

Bai Zhu walked in, smiling, and said, "Could you please get me some hot water?"

The people in the kitchen saw her and immediately put down what they were doing. "Mr. Bai, please wait a moment."

One of them picked up a ladle, scooped a ladleful of water from the bucket, and poured it into the kettle that Bai Zhu handed over.

Bai Zhu took the kettle, turned to leave, and suddenly slipped.

The kettle slipped from his hand, and all the water inside spilled onto the ground.

"Oh dear!" Bai Shu exclaimed in surprise.

The people in the kitchen rushed over to help her up. "Mr. Bai, are you alright?"

Bai Zhu waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just slipped."

She crouched down, pretending to pick up the water bottle, but her hand groped around on the ground instead.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she took out a packet of medicine powder from her pocket and quickly poured it into the bucket next to her.

The movements were so fast they were almost invisible.

"Mr. Bai, let me help you." Someone squatted down to help her pick up the water bottle.

Bai Shu stood up, dusted off his hands, and said, "Could you please get me some more water?"

"Okay." The man scooped another ladle of water from the bucket and poured it into the kettle.

Bai Shu thanked him and carried the kettle out of the kitchen.

She walked slowly, her gaze sweeping over every guard in the corridor.

These people are all exhausted, but they can still hold on.

not enough.

That's not enough.

She needs to increase the dosage.

Bai Shu walked to Lu Jingyan's stone chamber and pushed open the door.

Qin Zheng hadn't returned yet; Lu Jingyan was the only one in the room.

Bai Shu walked to the bedside, sat down, and took his hand.

Lu Jingyan's fingers moved immediately.

Bai Zhu replied: The medicine has been administered. The dosage will be increased tonight.

Lu Jingyan replied: Be careful.

A warm feeling welled up in Bai Shu's heart.

She lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "You too."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Bai Zhu suddenly stood up and turned around.

The door was pushed open.

The man with the goatee walked in, his face grim.

"Mr. Bai, Black Wolf has arrived early tonight."

Bai Shu's heart skipped a beat.

in advance

The man with the goatee stared at her, his eyes probing. "He said he wants to meet you in person."

Bai Shu's face remained expressionless. "Fine, I'll see you then."

The man with the goatee turned and walked out, but stopped at the door.

"Oh, and Black Wolf also said he found something at the scene of the firefight."

He turned around, his eyes sharp. "Something that belongs to a woman."

Bai Shu clenched the hem of her clothes tightly with her fingers.

Her mind was racing.

The scene of the firefight.

Women's things.

Lu Jingyuan!

It must have been left behind by Lu Jingyuan during that unauthorized action!

The man with the goatee stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed. "Mr. Bai, you're not actually a woman, are you?"

Bai Shu raised her head and looked at him coldly.

What do you think?

The man with the goatee laughed heartily, "Just kidding, don't mind it."

He turned and walked out of the stone chamber.

Bai Zhu stood there, his palms sweaty.

She took a deep breath, walked to the door, and glanced down the hallway.

The man with the goatee has already gone far away.

Bai Zhu closed the door and leaned against it.

She closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down.

Don't panic.

In times like these, it's crucial not to panic.

She walked back to the bedside and took Lu Jingyan's hand.

Lu Jingyan's fingers tapped: What's wrong?

Bai Shu replied: The Black Wolf has arrived ahead of schedule. He may doubt my identity.

Lu Jingyan's fingers paused for a second.

Then he knocked three times heavily.

That was a warning.

Bai Zhu replied: I know.

She let go of his hand and stood up.

The baby in her belly kicked.

Bai Zhu gently patted her belly and whispered, "Baby, be good, just one more night."

She walked to the door and opened it.

The guards in the corridor had been replaced, and these new guards seemed to be in good spirits.

Bai Shu's gaze swept over the water jug ​​at their feet.

I haven't drunk it yet.

She turned and walked towards the kitchen.

She stopped as she passed a guard post.

There was a small room next to the guard post, with the door ajar.

Bai Zhu walked over and pushed open the door.

The room was filled with supplies, and several buckets were placed in the corner.

Bai Zhu walked over and took out the last two packets of medicine powder from his pocket.

She opened the paper packet and poured all the powder into the bucket.

The powder dissolved immediately upon contact with water, leaving no trace.

Bai Zhu stood up, turned around and walked out.

As she reached the door, she suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Heavy footsteps.

Bai Zhu's heart skipped a beat.

She hid behind the door, peeking out through the crack.

A tall man with a face covered in scars was walking towards them.

He was followed by several burly men with guns.

Black Wolf.

Bai Shu gripped the doorknob tightly.

Black Wolf walked to the sentry post and stopped.

"Increase security tonight; no one is allowed to approach the east side."

The guard responded.

Black Wolf turned around, his gaze suddenly sweeping towards the small room where White Sage was hiding.

Bai Zhu held her breath.

Black Wolf stared at the half-open door for a few seconds, then stepped towards it.
