The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the first light of dawn appeared.
The phone that was placed by the bed suddenly rang. Ever since Bai Qianmo dreamed of Xu Jin'en, she had been unable to fall asleep while lying in bed.
He picked up his constantly vibrating phone and glanced at it; it was Luo Cheng calling.
At this time, Luo Cheng wouldn't call unless it was something particularly urgent.
Bai Qianmo immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Qianmo, something happened to Zhang Yafei."
Ten minutes later
Bai Qianmo quickly washed up and left the ward.
In the corridor
Rongyi and Gujin sat on chairs in the corridor.
Rong Yiwei was resting with her eyes closed, while Ku Jin was playing on her phone.
"Miss Bai, are you leaving the hospital?"
"Yes, there are some things that need to be taken care of. Has your Seventh Master not returned yet?"
"It seems that Seventh Master received a call from Young Master Feng and left in a hurry. He hasn't returned yet."
"Do you know where he went?"
"We don't know either; Seventh Master didn't arrange for us to follow along."
Bai Qianmo frowned slightly.
Even Kuching, who is by his side every day, does not know where he went. Where did he go?
"Who is this Young Master Feng you're talking about?"
"He is the young master of the Feng family in Nancheng, and he is a very good friend of Seventh Master."
Nancheng Feng Family?
Gu Jueye actually has dealings with the Feng family, one of the four major families? I've never heard him mention it before.
Suddenly, I remembered Gu Jueye's calm and composed demeanor when Zhu Qinghan mentioned the four major families in the hospital room that day. It turned out that he had known about the four major families for a long time and even had connections with the Yin family, Feng family, and Mo family.
What about the Gu family?
At that moment, she gradually realized that this man was hiding many secrets.
Rong Yi was already awake when Bai Qianmo came out. He glanced at the time and saw it was only 5:30 in the morning.
"Miss Bai, where are you going? I'll take you there."
"No need, I've already made an appointment with Luo Cheng, he's on his way to the hospital."
Rong Yi had been following Bai Qianmo around for a long time and knew that she had been investigating Zhao Guofeng's case, so she often interacted with Luo Cheng.
With Luo Cheng around, we can rest assured.
"Okay, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
"kindness"
Before leaving the hospital, Bai Qianmo walked to the door of Han Songyan's ward.
The lights were on inside, and Bai Kangyan and his son Bai Luoyu were keeping watch by the bedside. After yesterday's events, both of them looked exhausted.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Han Songyan on the bed, and was about to leave.
The people in the room suddenly looked up at her.
"Qianmo!"
Bai Qianmo paused slightly as she turned around, then looked back at the ward.
Bai Kangyan got up and walked out.
"Your eyes are inflamed. You need to rest more and not work too hard."
"Yes, I know!"
The father and daughter exchanged a glance, a sense of unfamiliarity washed over them, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Bai Kangyan sighed deeply: "So many things have happened recently. I'm sorry, I neglected your feelings before. I know I'm not a good father, but we are family after all. And your mother has actually changed a lot recently, especially her attitude towards you has changed a lot."
"This year, your birthday was celebrated at home. She called your aunt to ask what kind of food you like and specially prepared a menu according to your taste. Sigh, if nothing had happened to her this time, she would have really wanted to personally introduce you to the family and friends. Qianmo, your mother has indeed made a lot of mistakes in the past, including her own poor judgment of people and being taken advantage of by Xiruo. Can you... can you forgive her?"
"Let's not talk about the past. I just came to take a look. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
She couldn't completely ignore what happened in the Bai family. Although she had long since let it go, she no longer had any expectations.
Without expectations, there is no disappointment. She is already an adult, and the family ties she missed cannot be forced back. It is better to let go of that obsession in her heart.
Bai Kangyan choked up, not knowing what else to say, feeling only a deep sense of guilt.
He had argued with his wife because she always sided with Xi Ruo and ignored or even treated Qian Mo coldly.
But how could he possibly treat everyone equally?
Now I've really swallowed my pride and begged Qianmo for forgiveness.
Watching Bai Qianmo's departing figure, Bai Kangyan felt a mix of emotions.
Bai Luoyu shook his head.
"Don't blame yourself. Qianmo is a very strong-willed girl. She sees everything clearly and won't suffer any heartache because of your favoritism. However, I think she still cares about you. If it weren't for Qianmo's timely plan to lure Bai Xiruo into the trap, we might still be deceived by Bai Xiruo when she tried to harm my mother."
"Yes, we owe a lot to Qianmo this time, it's just a pity your mother can't see all of this..."

A secret underground room
Gu Jueye looked at the man in front of him who was bound by iron chains.
"His name is Liu Fuyong. He is a relative of the deceased in the case of the grave keeper who was burned to death in the western suburbs cemetery, which was investigated by Bureau A some time ago. At that time, your wife asked Luo Cheng to keep an eye on this person. Unfortunately, Liu Fuyong is too cunning and has not revealed anything yet. If it weren't for this time when he instigated Bai Xiruo to murder Han Songyan, we might not have been able to catch this guy for a while."
Gu Jueye's cold gaze fell on Liu Fuyong's emaciated face.
Did he reveal who was behind it?
Feng Yi toyed with a crimson-gold whip in his hand, glancing at Liu Fuyong with eyes like an eagle: "This guy is very tight-lipped. An ordinary person can't withstand more than ten lashes from this crimson-gold whip, but this guy was tortured by me for more than an hour, his skin was torn and bleeding, but he still refused to say a word no matter what. It seems that he is a loyal dog that protects its master."
Gu Jueye walked indifferently toward Liu Fuyong, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose face was contorted as if he were enduring inhuman pain.
Feng Yi struck with great force. Liu Fuyong was already small in stature, and now his body was covered with shocking whip marks.
"Don't waste your time. I will not reveal any information about my master. Heh, you want to protect Bai Qianmo, but too bad, she is destined not to be yours."
