In her previous life, Yu Bai was not only miserably killed by her boyfriend and his cheating partner, but her mother, younger brother, and four older brothers also suffered tragic fates, some dying...
After crossing the small path, Yu Bai soon arrived outside the courtyard wall of Li Baizhong's house.
The courtyard gate was ajar, and dim light shone through the windows of the main room.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her slightly disordered breathing, then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Professor Li."
Li Baizhong was sitting at the eight-immortals table in the main hall. When he saw her come in, he smiled and waved.
But Yu Bai's attention was immediately attracted to the strange woman sitting at the main seat at the table.
He was about forty years old and was wearing a well-ironed dark suit. Although the style was simple, the material and tailoring gave off a sense of no cheapness.
She sat upright, her face expressionless, her eyes calm yet scrutinizing. The composure and composure that came from being in a high position for a long time could not be faked.
You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.
Li Baizhong didn't introduce her in detail. He just pointed at the woman and said to Yu Bai, "This is Teacher Yan, the serious Yan."
"Hello, Teacher Yan." Yu Bai suppressed the slight ripples in his heart, but looked obedient as he quickly greeted him.
She knew that at times like this, the better to say less and make fewer mistakes, she should just follow the instructions.
After greeting, Yu Bai didn't wait for instructions. He turned sideways swiftly, unzipped his coat, and took out a silver-gray metal USB flash drive from the interlayer sewn close to his inner garment.
She handed it to Li Baizhong with both hands: "Teacher Yan, this is the USB drive I picked up."
She found this USB drive from the compartment of a briefcase that was soaked in water when she was cleaning her space yesterday.
The outer shell of the briefcase was soft and the paper material inside had long been mushy. The writing was blurred and stuck so tightly that it was impossible to read.
Only this little gadget with an all-metal shell looks intact.
At that time, she felt that this USB flash drive was not simple. With a cautious and responsible attitude, she contacted Li Baizhong immediately and said that she had picked it up from the car by accident.
After hearing the goods, Li Baizhong's tone became serious and he repeatedly told her to keep the USB drive safe.
And, absolutely! Do not open it to read the contents, or you may get into trouble.
Yu Bai suffered enough in his previous life, and he cherishes his life even more in this life. How could he not understand the truth that "curiosity kills the cat"?
Some things, once you get involved, are troublesome and can't be shaken off.
So she left the USB drive in the space without saying anything and saved it.
Until noon today, Li Baizhong suddenly called and asked her to secretly deliver the things to his house in the evening, saying that someone would come to pick them up.
Teacher Yan stretched out his hand, his fingertips slender and clean, and took the small USB flash drive.
Her movements were steady, her gaze lingering on the USB drive for a moment, then she looked up at Yu Bai and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Yu Bai."
"It's not hard," Yu Bai waved his hands quickly, his attitude couldn't be more sincere. "Teacher Yan, I put this thing away as soon as I found it. I definitely haven't opened it. Please rest assured."
She faced Teacher Yan's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Her eyes were clear and there was no trace of evasion.
I mean this sincerely.
Now she just wants to live a peaceful life with her family and then take revenge.
She didn't want to get involved in anything that might involve secrets.
Yan Hui looked at Yu Bai carefully.
His gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to dissect her from the inside out.
In Yan Hui's eyes, Yu Bai is worth pondering.
Talking about being rescued, the three colleagues still can’t explain how they were rescued. The most important thing is that they were completely unharmed.
I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong.
But according to Wang Yuejun, the car was driving very fast that day, and he felt a strong impact on his body before he lost consciousness, even accompanied by great pain.
The most important thing is that the people in the city searched for two days but still couldn't find the Red Flag car.
But now, the USB flash drive that should have been in the car is in Yu Bai's hands.
Li Baizhong also told her that Yu Bai had sold him antiques from the pre-Qin period, but data showed that Yu Bai's family's financial situation was not good enough to live comfortably.
He was clearly a person who made no sense in anything he said, but after meeting Yu Bai in person, Yan Hui felt that she was thinking too much.
Maybe, all this is just a coincidence.
Finally, the corners of Teacher Yan's mouth twitched slightly, as if in approval, or perhaps it was just an illusion.
She nodded slightly, said nothing more, and stood up with the USB drive.
"Professor Li, I'm leaving first." She said to Li Baizhong.
"Okay, take care." Li Baizhong also stood up to see him off.
Teacher Yan nodded, turned around and left, his steps full of decisiveness. Soon, the sound of a car starting was heard outside the yard, and it quickly disappeared into the night.
Not until the low engine sound faded away completely did Yu Bai let out a barely perceptible breath, and his shoulders, which had been tense just now, instantly relaxed.
Wow, Teacher Yan’s aura is really strong.
"Don't be afraid."
Li Baizhong walked back and patted Yu Bai on the shoulder. His voice was low but carried a soothing power.
"Some things need to be put to an end. In a few days, you will see the results."
He paused, and looked at Yu Bai with a little more approval in his eyes.
"You and your third brother, Yunian, have stumbled upon something by accident and accomplished a great feat this time. Just wait patiently, good news won't be far away."
Make merit?
Yu Bai's heart moved. Although he didn't know what earth-shattering thing was in that USB flash drive, he knew that it could make Uncle Li and Teacher Yan take it so seriously, and even involve his second brother...
It seems that this pool of water is deeper than she imagined.
However, as Uncle Li said, some things need to be resolved.
