Chapter 138 The Bai Family's Mysterious Experiment
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan instantly sobered up.
For a fleeting moment, she actually considered turning back to find Mo Xiao.
Fortunately, Xia Yue brought her to her senses.
“You’re right. I can rely on myself. I will definitely cure my mother and take her away!” Bai Yan’s face lit up with fighting spirit.
She had only intended to see her mother once and then leave.
I never imagined my mother was going through such a difficult time.
Previously, she was imprisoned by Mo Xiao, who prevented her from having any contact with the Bai family.
She always thought that after the Bai family sold her to Mo Xiao, they would at least treat her mother better, and at least ensure she would have enough to eat and wear.
I never imagined things would turn out like this.
She couldn't take it anymore!
Bai Yan rummaged through her suitcase and took out tools from her bag.
She wants to pick up her paintbrush again, paint to earn money, and find a way out for herself and her mother.
Xia Yue was very pleased to see that Bai Yan had cheered up.
She went back to her room to look through medical books, hoping to find a quick way to treat her leg injury.
And so, two peaceful days passed in the Bai family's home.
Over the past two days, Xia Yue has gained a general understanding of the Bai family's basic situation.
The head of the Bai family was a great contributor to the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
The Bai family is currently the most sought-after family in the aristocratic circles of Country A, with a constant stream of guests.
However, apart from Bai Yan, most of the young masters and ladies of the Bai family are good-for-nothings.
Especially the eldest son's wife.
Bai Mudan, the legitimate daughter, is a notorious womanizer in Country A, having dated countless men.
The Bai family head spoiled his daughter, so Bai Mudan was not influenced by the male chauvinism of Country A.
The eldest son, Bai, is extremely lecherous. According to the laws of Country A, a man can marry four wives.
But that's for ordinary people.
Young Master Bai, a nobleman, already has thirty-six women registered in his harem.
Every beautiful woman he saw, he wanted to take her into his backyard.
Bai Yan repeatedly told Xia Yue to keep a low profile and not to run into the young master Bai at the Bai family home.
Xia Yue tried her best to be careful, but she still accidentally bumped into it.
The source of all this was that she saw a familiar figure at the Bai family's residence.
Her senior brother, Gu Chen.
That morning, Xia Yue thought that Bai Yan's mother's food supplies were almost used up, so she decided to go and replenish them.
Bai Yan's mother was, after all, the third concubine in name only, and was entitled to a share of the Bai family's ingredients every week.
But because of her leg problems, Xia Yue took a certificate and went in her place.
On the way, they happened to see Gu Chen.
Gu Chen walked very fast and didn't notice her.
Xia Yue was very curious, so she followed him all the way.
Xia Yue stopped at a place that was luxuriously decorated, heavily guarded, and surrounded by cameras.
If she continued walking, she would be discovered.
Xia Yue found a secluded place to hide.
Shortly after Gu Chen went in, a well-dressed young man who bore a resemblance to Bai Mudan also entered the luxurious courtyard.
Even from a distance, Xia Yue could smell a mixed perfume on the man, and she knew from the smell that he often mingled with women.
If I'm not mistaken, it must be the legendary eldest son of the Bai family.
Xia Yue was very curious about what Gu Chen and Young Master Bai would discuss when they got together.
The Gu family practices medicine, while the Bai family's business scope doesn't seem to include anything related to pharmaceuticals.
Xia Yue wished she had super hearing so she could hear things through the walls.
Unfortunately, we couldn't hear anything.
She quietly strolled around the yard and miraculously found a dog hole.
The dog hole was just the right size for her to enter.
Xia Yue has always been flexible and adaptable; crawling through a dog hole is nothing to her.
She quietly slipped into the courtyard.
Perhaps to enhance privacy, Xia Yue didn't see any cameras or patrols.
Xia Yue was overjoyed and immediately went to find Gu Chen and Young Master Bai.
Not long after, she heard a conversation.
"How long until the experimental results come out?" This was Gu Chen's voice, his tone filled with doubt and dissatisfaction.
The Bai family's wealth has recently skyrocketed in Country A.
Xia Yue was puzzled. Given Gu Chen's status, how dare he speak to Young Master Bai in such a tone? What kind of experiment was this?
"The sample size is insufficient; it's hard to say for sure," Young Master Bai replied somewhat casually.
"Bai Muyang, I've given you so much time. If you don't want to cooperate properly, don't blame me for replacing you directly."
Many forces are eyeing this project, not just your Bai family.
Gu Chen's voice already carried a hint of threat.
Bai Muyang finally became a little anxious and quickly said with a smile, "Oh dear, don't be in such a hurry. Your temper is just like your master's."
Master?
Why did Bai Muyang know his master?
Where is Master?
Xia Yue immediately lost her composure.
Therefore, she accidentally stepped on a dead branch.
The dry branch made a "crack" sound, startling the two people talking over there.
Bai Muyang's expression instantly changed, and he roared fiercely, "Who's eavesdropping there? Come out!"
Bai Muyang never expected that someone would dare to eavesdrop on him in his territory, in such a heavily guarded place!
Gu Chen remained relatively calm and walked towards Xia Yue first.
Upon seeing Xia Yue, Gu Chen's pupils dilated, and his hands instinctively clenched.
On the surface, however, he pretended that nothing had happened and casually said to Bai Muyang, "You're making a big fuss over nothing. It's just a cat."
