Chapter 656 Grasshopper on a Rope

President Bai's office.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant and depressing.

Li Pengzhan took a deep breath, "...If I'm not guessing, she must have deliberately approached Qingqing, using the name of Qingqing's friend to secretly investigate me."

Behind the desk, Bai Jiyu leaned against the back of the chair, his legs crossed and leisurely placed on the desk, shaking from time to time, his elbows resting on the armrests, his chin supported by the back of his hands, his face looking thoughtful.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Li Pengzhan felt unsure and said anxiously, "Boss Bai, I can't possibly lie to you."

Bai Jiyu raised his eyes and looked at him, "Do you know why my father did this?"

Li Pengzhan paused and shook his head honestly, "I don't know. I didn't dare ask at the time. I just did what your father told me to do."

"I understand. Go back and do what you need to do. Don't reveal any flaws."

"……yes."

Li Pengzhan turned and walked out, but stopped in his tracks, worried. "Boss Bai, you must get ready as soon as possible, otherwise..."

They are tied to the same rope. If he is exposed, the Bai family will not be able to escape.

Bai Jiyu raised his lips and smiled, "Of course, don't worry."

Li Pengzhan pursed his lips and left slowly.

As soon as the door closed, Bai Jiyu put away the smile on his face and his eyes became as dark as ink.

He thought deeply for a long time before making a phone call. "Prepare the application. I want to go visit my dad."

Prison visiting room.

A few people sat in groups of three or four in front of the long glass, holding microphones to communicate with the people on the other side of the glass, some were angry and accusing, while others were in tears.

Bai Jiyu picked a seat and sat in front of the glass waiting.

A minute later, Bai Yingjie, wearing prison clothes, walked in from behind the glass under the supervision of a police officer. He sat down opposite Bai Jiyu and picked up the phone, "Jiyu."

"dad."

The father and son looked at each other through the glass.

Bai Jiyu held his chin, twisting a coin between his fingers, and asked casually, "How are you feeling lately? Are you feeling better?"

"Don't worry, what's the matter?"

"Li Pengzhan came to me today and said some incomprehensible things." Bai Jiuyu tilted his head and looked at his father.

Bai Yingjie's pupils constricted, and he froze for a few seconds. "On the cabinet on the left side of my study, on the second layer, in the fourth compartment, there's a diary. You'll understand after you read it."

"Okay, I got it," Bai Jiyu tossed the coin and caught it in his palm. "Take care of yourself, and try to get your sentence reduced so we can be reunited soon."

"Be careful when you're out there."

"Um."

Bai Jiyu put the microphone back to its place, left the prison and returned home.

Following his father's instructions, he found the diary in the study.

The diary cover is worn and the paper is yellowed, it seems to be quite old.

The bookshelves on this wall were filled with all kinds of books. He had read many of them, but had never noticed this notebook.

Bai Jiyu sat down at his desk and turned to the first page...

…

H City is a third-tier small city in the Central Plains, about 500 kilometers away from the capital.

The center of the small city belongs to the old city area and has a strong atmosphere of life.

The pedestrian street is lined with shops and various stalls on both sides. At the end of the street is a snack street. In the evening, the whole street is bustling with people coming and going.

There is a bar in the alley west of the pedestrian street.

The bar was dimly lit, with colorful lights all around, and a rock singer was performing on the stage.

The door opened and closed, and several tall men came in, scanning the booth area with sharp eyes, as if they were looking for someone.

There were a few yellow-haired young men sitting in front of the bar, whispering to each other, glancing in a certain direction of the bar from time to time and laughing.

"...So beautiful. Is she alone?"

"Hey, look, she's going to the bathroom..."

"Good opportunity, how about going to chat up and ask for her WeChat?"

Following their gaze, I saw a pretty girl in her twenties quietly standing up in a hidden corner of the bar and walking towards the bathroom.

The streets in this area are prosperous, with many pedestrians and a mixed crowd, making it a great place to hide.

Xue Jun arrived yesterday and found a small hotel to spend the night. After checking out early in the morning, he hid in the bar here.

I don’t know if those people who came in just now were here to see her.

Where should she go next?

Xue Jun walked into the bathroom upset.

Suddenly, a big hand reached out from the side and covered her mouth.

In an instant, Xue Jun's heart beat into his throat.

Before she could move her hands or feet, she felt dizzy and was pulled into a bathroom cubicle. A large man's hand reached out from behind and locked the cubicle.

Damn it, they’re not here to arrest her, they’re gangsters!

Xue Jun punched back with his elbow and stomped hard backward with his foot.

The man behind her dodged easily, clamped her wrists with one hand, and pressed her against the door panel, "Don't move."

Xue Jun paused and smelled a bloody smell at the tip of his nose.

It seems to be brought by the man's hands.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard several voices coming from outside.

"There's no bathroom."

"Let's go."

"Wait... do you think he'll do the opposite and hide in the women's bathroom?"

Xue Jun suddenly understood.

The men who came in just now were not looking for her, but for the person behind her.

The footsteps gradually approached.

They came in.

Xue Jun held his breath and dared not move.

In the small and quiet space, the sound of footsteps was particularly clear, one step, two steps, three steps...

The footsteps stopped.

It's just in front of Xue Jun's cubicle door, just one door away.

“Knock knock knock—”

There was a knock on the door.

"Respond to him." The man behind her said in a weak voice close to her ear.

As he spoke, his big hand slid down, moved away from her lips, and the next second fell on her neck, slowly tightening.

Xue Jun took a deep breath and said in an irritated tone, "Who is it? Didn't you see that there was someone inside? You didn't fall into so many traps, but you were just staring at this one?"

The man outside was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry."

"Damn it! You're a man in the ladies' room? Someone, come! There's a hooligan!"

The man hurried away, pulling his companion with him, "There's nothing inside, let's go."

After a few moments of silence.

Xue Jun said, "They've already left. Can you let me go now?"

The man behind her slowly released her hands and neck, "Get out, and don't reveal my whereabouts to anyone."

"good."

Xue Jun responded, unlocked the door impatiently, and went out.

Since they were not looking for her, she left with peace of mind.

As soon as he took a step out of the bathroom, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the aisle on the left and immediately retracted his foot.

One of the bodyguards who originally escorted her to the clinic!

You found me so quickly!

Xue Jun turned around and saw the man coming out of the cubicle and about to leave.

Without thinking, she grabbed the man's arm and pulled him back to the cubicle. "Excuse me, I'll help you once, and you help me once."

“…”

Xue Jun closed the door and locked it. "No time to explain, shhh..."

The sound of footsteps stopped.
