As for Lin Zhaodi's home, Bai Yueyue had already been there, and Hu Meier had also done a simple investigation because of this meeting.
It was a village within the city, and the family wasn't wealthy. Lin Zhaodi had a younger brother. If it weren't for Lin Zhaodi, Bai Yueyue probably wouldn't have come to this place at all.
"Miss, you can wait in the car. I'll go and bring Lin Zhaodi down." Hu Meier said as they arrived at Lin Zhaodi's building.
“I’ll go too. After all, it’s better for me to take Lin Zhaodi away personally.” Bai Yueyue wasn’t worried about Hu Meier’s abilities, but this was a test from Li Jieyue. Bai Yueyue didn’t think it would be easy to take Lin Zhaodi away.
"Yes, ma'am. Although I feel that it would be beneath your dignity, Miss, to go to such a place, which is like a den of rats in the gutter."
"Mei'er, you absolutely cannot say that later!" The environment is indeed not as good as where Bai Yueyue lives, but it is definitely not that bad. Bai Yueyue came here to snatch her away. I am already tired enough and really don't want to cause any more trouble.
"Yes, young lady. Then please stay by my side, lest those guys offend your eyes."
Are all people in Beijing this good at talking? Bai Yueyue hesitated for a long time before finally keeping those words to herself.
The car that Hu Meier and I were in was already conspicuous enough; a little use of magic to sense that quite a few eyes were already watching us.
Bai Yueyue was already experienced. She first interfered with the surrounding cell phones and surveillance cameras, and then reduced her own presence so that Hu Meier could block her view. This way, she wouldn't cause too much of a disturbance.
Then, the two encountered the most infuriating thing. They both confirmed that they had not gone to the wrong place and were at Lin Zhaodi's door, but after Hu Meier knocked on the door and introduced herself, no one paid any attention to them.
Bai Yueyue also used her X-ray vision to inspect the situation inside the house. The things inside were very messy, as if there had been a huge commotion, but there was no one inside.
"Mei'er, what did Lin Zhaodi's parents say yesterday?" Even with her face veiled, Hu Mei'er could feel Bai Yueyue's anger.
“Reporting to Miss, I informed Lin Zhaodi’s parents yesterday, asking them to wait for your arrival at home today, and they said they received the message.”
"Are you sure it was Lin Zhaodi's parents who answered the phone? Did you tell them who I was?"
“I am absolutely certain, and I have told them the young lady’s identity. I also called them again before I arrived to inform them.” Hu Meier was now furious. This family dared to do this, which was to trample Bai Yueyue’s dignity into the ground. “Young lady, please give your order.”
"Mei'er, have someone find out where they went within half an hour."
I'm absolutely not angry because someone stood me up, absolutely not! It's just that I've never seen someone with such a temper, daring to disrespect the Bai family like that.
"Yes, ma'am."
However, the easiest way is for Bai Yueyue to use magic to probe the past of this place and find out where they went.
Bai Yueyue also knows this magic, but the problem is that she knows too many kinds of magic, including quite a few of the same type and with the same effect.
There were so many spells that Bai Yueyue couldn't remember them all, and these weren't even the types of spells she used frequently. If Bai Yueyue were to use these spells, she wasn't sure when she would find a suitable one.
Previously, with Xiaoya around, she could directly give Bai Yueyue hints, telling her which magic to use. At the same time, Xiaoya had a crucial role: controlling Bai Yueyue's magic output when she was unfamiliar with magic and spells.
Actually, Bai Yueyue had mastered the ability to control her magic output before Xiaoya left, but the awakening of the Source caused her magic power to transform from a river into a boundless ocean, making it difficult to control the intensity of her magic output again, just like before. During this time, Bai Yueyue focused on her coming-of-age ceremony and had no time to practice magic at all.
For example, Bai Yueyue only wants a fireball, but because the current magic output is too high, it might become a trillion-degree fireball, which would cause a big problem.
"I need to find some time to familiarize myself with magic and my current magical power." Back in the car, Bai Yueyue murmured to herself. She had mainly used defensive, spatial, and physical strength magic to deal with those thugs, without using offensive magic. Otherwise, those people might not have just fainted.
While Bai Yueyue was pondering how to sneak out at night to practice magic, Hu Meier had already finished organizing the information.
"Miss, we've found out that Lin Zhaodi and her group have gone to their hometown in the suburbs of Asia City," Hu Meier said, holding the report in her hand.
"What are they doing going there at this hour?" Bai Yueyue asked, puzzled. Were they in such a hurry? She could find time to see them, but they couldn't?
"No, Miss, those filthy sewer rats went back after Lin Zhaodi finished her college entrance exams..." It was clear that Hu Meier's anger had reached an unprecedented level; she even forgot her posture and started gritting her teeth as she spoke.
Bai Yueyue was certain that if Lin Zhaodi's parents were here, Hu Meier would definitely let them know the strength of the Bai family.
Because Bai Yueyue was also angry, this wasn't just breaking a promise; it was playing with Bai Yueyue and showing no regard for her at all.
"What's the reason for going back?" Bai Yueyue used magic to suppress the anger in her heart, so that she could calmly accept the news that Hu Meier was about to report.
"They've already chosen a husband for Lin Zhaodi, an old bachelor from their village. Because they were worried that someone would stop them after Lin Zhaodi's results came out, they took Lin Zhaodi away ahead of time." Sensing that Hu Meier was about to explode with anger, Bai Yueyue quietly cast a calming spell on Hu Meier, which prevented the two of them from "exploding" in the car at the same time.
"I see." Bai Yueyue nodded. Lin Zhaodi's grades had already earned Li Jieyue's approval, and she would likely go to the top university. If they waited for Lin Zhaodi's grades to come out, they really couldn't do it.
Bai Yueyue knew very well that Lin Zhaodi's parents were a typical family that favored sons over daughters. This time, they also disliked Lin Zhaodi because they thought she was a money-loser and shouldn't be studying, so they sold her off.
Previously, because Lin Zhaodi was a minor and still in her senior year of high school, it would have been particularly difficult to win her over. That's why Li Jieyue asked Bai Yueyue to recruit Lin Zhaodi after the college entrance examination.
Later, due to being overwhelmed with other matters, Bai Yueyue almost forgot about it. Now that she thinks about it, the gloomy aura emanating from Lin Zhaodi as she passed by after the exam must have been because of this incident, right? Lin Zhaodi had long foreseen her fate.
"Mei'er, let's go. I really want to see those two people who dare to disrespect me."
Although Bai Yueyue essentially wanted to take Lin Zhaodi away, using the excuse of the other party's contempt for the Bai family would give her more room to maneuver.
