Bai Yajing wasn't really idle. After arranging things at home, she returned to Shanghai with the people who were repatriating Bai Yunchen.
On the way, Bai Yunchen behaved himself. With his son hanging in the way, it would be strange if he didn't behave.
Little did they know, she had also come back with them.
The people who repatriated him were from the Ministry of State Security. In addition to this task, they also had to investigate the matter of Bai Yajing being reported and verify Bai Zhijun's identity.
After the group got off the train, Bai Yajing didn't go with them. She went to the guesthouse by herself. The Bai family had donated all their properties, and the place they had reserved for her had been rented out. Now that she was back, she could only stay in the guesthouse.
As soon as she went upstairs, she saw a familiar figure flash by. Bai Yajing followed him in a few steps, but only saw him enter the room at the corner of the second floor.
"Bai Zhijun?"
That's true, she had nowhere to stay when she came back, and Bai Zhijun was in the same boat.
That's good; with the person under her nose, it's easier for her to keep an eye on them.
He turned around and went back to his room.
These days, guesthouses aren't well soundproofed; at night, you can hear even the slightest noise.
Bai Yajing wasn't sound asleep. When she heard the sounds coming from the hallway outside, she opened her eyes.
She got up, dressed, and went to the window. In the moonlight, she saw a furtive figure emerge from the guesthouse. As he glanced back at the guesthouse, she saw his face—it was Bai Zhijun.
She immediately went out to follow him.
This was the time for doing shady things, and she followed along, adhering to the principle of better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
The person in front rode a dilapidated bicycle all the way to the outskirts, and Bai Yajing also took out a bicycle from her jade pendant and followed.
The man stopped when they reached a dilapidated little courtyard in the suburbs.
Only then did he dare to turn on the flashlight.
Bai Yajing stopped her bicycle and put it away before following.
Then Bai Zhijun rushed into the master bedroom of the small courtyard.
"I refuse to believe it, my mom didn't leave herself a way out!" He muttered to himself as he rummaged through drawers and cabinets.
Bai Yajing stood with her arms crossed in the shadows, watching him mutter to himself, and a thought came to mind.
Xu Jiahui's mother was a very popular socialite back then. Even with the later policy changes, she couldn't possibly not have left herself some security, right?
Xu Jiahui is the same; she also has an illegitimate child who works at a steel factory. Wouldn't she leave something for that child?
However, everything happened too fast back then. She was transferred to a lower-level position soon after being arrested, probably before she even had time to make proper arrangements.
Bai Zhijun probably thought of this too, so he came to his grandmother's old courtyard, hoping to find some money to spend.
After all, how can you deal with her without some money?
And it turned out just as she expected.
Bai Zhijun searched for a long time but couldn't find anything valuable except for the master bedroom, the front and back yards, and the second bedroom, so he was getting a little discouraged.
He plopped down on the ground, sighing.
"What's going on! Could it be that they really didn't leave anything at all? That's impossible! Mom is such a shrewd person..."
Bai Yajing was speechless. This guy is really useless!
She had just secretly observed how he looked for things, and he was truly careless. He didn't check many places, just flipped through them casually to get by.
He shook his head helplessly. Useless!
But I still have to thank this little good-for-nothing, otherwise, she wouldn't even know this place existed...
