Xu Hualan, Han Songyan, and Bai Qianmo rode in another car.
Before leaving, Bai Qianmo called out to Bai Yitang, "You stay and watch over her."
Bai Yitang glanced at Bai Xinrou standing at the door.
"Zhang Sao is at home... I'm worried about my grandfather's condition and don't want to stay at home."
"Aunt Zhang can't keep an eye on her, so you stay here and keep a close eye on her. I'll let you know if there's anything going on at the hospital."
Bai Yitang hesitated for a moment, then felt that what Bai Qianmo said made a lot of sense.
He had long suspected that Bai Xinrou was a wicked woman, and his grandfather suddenly fell ill after only two days at the Bai family home.
This is just too much of a coincidence.
"Alright, you guys go ahead, I'll stay here and watch over her!"
After watching Bai Qianmo get into the car and leave, Bai Yitang walked over to Bai Xinrou.
"Bai Xinrou, if anything happens to my grandfather, I'll take your life. You better stay here and I'll be watching you closely."
A hint of panic flashed in Bai Xinrou's eyes, but she pretended to remain calm on the surface.
"Your family is really strange. What does Grandpa Bai's illness have to do with me? Isn't it normal for him to have ailments at his age?"
"Heh, still pretending, huh? Fine, then you just wait and see. If the hospital finds anything, see how I deal with you. Get in here."
Bai Xinrou was forced to return to her room.
Bai Yitang was afraid she would run away, so he kept watch outside the door.
Bai Xinrou stood at the door and glanced outside, while Bai Yitang stood under the corridor looking down at his phone.
Hearing footsteps, Bai Yitang looked up at Bai Xinrou.
With a disdainful sneer, Bai Xinrou was so frightened that she immediately closed the door.
She paced anxiously around the room a few times, then picked up her phone and ran to the bathroom to make a call.
The phone rang a few times before an impatient voice answered.
"Hey, I might have been exposed. The Bai family has locked me in a room and I can't get out. You guys need to find a way to rescue me quickly."
"How could you be so stupid? You can't even handle this simple thing. Did you find the item?"
"I've been under the Bai family's nose for the past two days, how could I have had time to help you look for things?"
"Useless!" the other party cursed and hung up the phone.
Bai Xinrou's teeth ached with anger, and she angrily pushed the pin back into place.
But this time the other party did not answer the phone.
"You think you can just kick me aside because I'm no longer useful? Heh, you think too highly of me, Bai Xinrou, as someone easy to bully!"
Bai Xinrou sent a threatening text message directly.
If you don't try to save me, then we'll fight to the death. I'll confront the Bai family and tell them that you made me drug Elder Bai's drowsy symptoms, and that my goal was to get the Bai family's jade pendant.
"Beep beep beep..." Less than two minutes later, the phone rang again.
This time, a woman's cold, aloof voice came through.
"Someone will come to pick you up in half an hour. Don't try to be clever. If you try to fight us, you'll end up in a terrible situation."
The other party's threat was very obvious, and Bai Xinrou was very scared.
But given his current situation, staying with the Bai family would be a dead end, while following those people would at least save his own life.
Stepping out of the restroom
Bai Xinrou stared quietly at her phone screen, feeling that every minute was agonizing.
Half an hour finally passed
She got up and walked outside.
Bai Yitang was still guarding the door. When he saw her come out, he gave her a cold glance.
Bai Xinrou ignored him and walked directly to the front yard.
Bai Yitang scoffed and followed closely behind.
The two kept a distance of two steps, with Bai Xinrou pretending to take a leisurely stroll as she walked forward.
Bai Yitang kept a close eye on her, afraid that this woman might try something.
Arriving at the lobby
Bai Xinrou sat on the sofa and spoke, feigning concern.
"I don't know how Elder Bai is doing. Apart from you Bai family members, I am probably the one who most urgently hopes that he is safe and sound. Only if Elder Bai is alright can I clear my name."
Bai Yitang leaned against the door frame, ignoring her.
Bai Xinrou stopped talking and started playing with her phone.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
The phone suddenly rang, and Bai Xinrou's expression changed slightly.
Bai Yitang stared straight at her.
"It was a package mailed to me from my hometown, and I had the courier deliver it here."
As she spoke, Bai Xinrou got up and walked towards the door.
Bai Yitang, however, pulled her into his arms.
"You wait here, let Aunt Zhang go get it."
Bai Xinrou frowned slightly and glanced at him with displeasure.
"I'm not a criminal, what right do you have to restrict my freedom? Don't you know that's illegal?"
"Ha, so you know it's illegal? If anything happens to my grandfather, I'll sue you for murder."
"You, you're slandering me!"
Bai Yitang sneered: "Whether it's slander or not, you know in your heart. Bai Qianmo is a very good judge of people. If even she suspects you, you are almost certainly the murderer."
A hint of fear appeared on Bai Xinrou's angry face.
Bai Yitang ignored her and called Zhang Sao to pick up the package at the door.
After Zhang Sao left, she didn't return for a long time.
Bai Yitang had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
He glared at Bai Xinrou with a warning look, then picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Sao's number.
But no one answered the phone.
A bad feeling crept into Bai Yitang's heart. He hung up the phone and headed straight for the door.
Just as he reached the front door, a man walked in.
Before Bai Yitang could even get a clear look at the other person's face, he felt a sharp pain on the left side of his neck.
He followed the man's thick arm to his neck, where a very thin needle was being injected into his body with an unknown liquid.
