Chu Rui clearly saw that Madam Bai's face was somewhat unnatural, but he still lowered his eyelids, pretending not to see it, and obediently lowered his head.
"Xiao Rui, I suddenly feel unwell. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
"Yes, Mother, please take care of yourself."
He walked out, but after walking halfway, he hesitated and came back. Madam Bai thought he wanted to ask her something, and her eyes became increasingly unnatural.
Chu Rui pinched her palm, forcing herself to blush.
"If Mother is not feeling well, remember to take her medicine and see a doctor. Don't avoid seeking medical help."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran out, leaving Madam Bai to watch his departing figure.
"This child..."
Before the smile and doting expression on his lips had completely faded, the butler rushed in.
"Madam, the head of the family..."
"Shut up."
"Evacuate the people from the old house, and don't say anything now."
"yes."
Madam Bai stood up, looked at the surveillance camera above the Bai family's old house, opened her wrist-worn device, and sent an encrypted message to Butler Bai.
"Disable the surveillance cameras above for ten minutes. I need to go to the back mountain."
Although Butler Bai didn't know what was in the back mountain, it was a secret of the Bai family.
He nodded slightly and stepped back.
A clivia plant in the room swayed gently in the wind, as if whispering secrets.
Before Chu Rui had even returned to his room, the servants on the way had already received orders from the steward to prepare to leave.
Seeing Chu Rui wandering outside, she wanted to say something, but then she was afraid... so she hurriedly ran away.
Chu Rui had been trying to explore the back mountain, but Madam Bai was still wary of him.
Moreover, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"come out!"
Zeye leaned against the white jade corridor pillar, smiling at Chu Rui, "Brother is so boring. I was just playing hide-and-seek with you, and you found me so quickly."
Chu Rui cracked his knuckles. "What do you want to do?"
Zeye shrugged and followed behind Chu Rui. He wasn't surprised to see Chu Rui return to his room.
“Naturally, it’s about cultivating brotherly affection with my brother. I remember Madam Bai saying that.”
"Aren't you bored living the same old routine every day? The Bai family has many interesting places. I've lived here for sixteen years and haven't explored them all. Aren't you curious, brother?"
When Chu Rui arrived at his room, he looked at Ze Ye, who was standing close by, and held the dagger to his nose, signaling him not to get too close.
"Not interested, thank you."
Zeye took a step back and made a gesture of surrender. "Brother, don't be so hostile. I have no interest in the head of the Bai family."
"However, I just discovered something good."
He pointed to the sky and said, "That surveillance camera seems to be out of service. I don't know how long it's been out of service, but it's so exciting. We can do bad things there."
Ze Ye's eyes darted around excitedly, while Chu Rui stared at him expressionlessly, then took a step back and slammed the door shut.
The expression on Zeye's face disappeared.
"You're really cold-blooded. If I weren't interested in this newbie, I wouldn't bother with you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Chu Rui leaned against the door, hearing everything clearly, and only blinked slightly.
Just now, a grass seed was stuck to Madam Bai's body.
He doesn't need to risk going there.
Just as I was about to check, I felt a burning sensation on my finger.
The seeds were burned.
Her eyes fell on a pot of Phalaenopsis orchids in the room, she gently stroked it with her hand, and then lay straight down on the bed and fell asleep.
A single orchid, as lifelike as a butterfly, drifted out from the crack in the door and headed towards the back mountain.
