Bai Qianmo's room
Bai Yitang sat on a beanbag chair, his long legs stretched out casually, seriously affecting someone who was walking around tidying up.
Bai Qianmo stopped and turned to face Bai Yitang every time she passed by him.
"If you're not going to help, please leave. Don't get in the way."
Bai Yitang stroked his chin with one hand, making a thoughtful expression.
"Bai Qianmo, I used to think you were a girl who didn't know anything about gentleness, cold and aloof, and always keeping everyone at arm's length. Did you take the wrong medicine today? Did you drink your athlete's foot medicine instead of Brain Gold? Didn't you see through Bai Xinrou's despicable tricks? You actually willingly gave her your room. Did you also fall for her tricks like the old man?"
Bai Qianmo merely gave Bai Yitang a cold look in response to his questioning.
"If you're so capable, then drive that mother and daughter away. If you can't, then shut up."
Bai Yitang retorted indignantly, "If Grandpa hadn't been there to stop me, do you think I really couldn't handle that mother and daughter? Heh..."
Bai Qianmo scoffed coldly: "You should know that Grandpa will make the decisions for them. Grandpa is the head of the Bai family. Who he wants to live in, and which courtyard he wants them to live in, is something you and I can decide?"
Bai Yitang stared at Bai Qianmo suspiciously for a while.
"So you're just giving up your room like that? Bai Qianmo, the you I knew before wasn't the kind of person who would let others do whatever they wanted."
Bai Qianmo turned around and put the two pieces of clothing she was holding into the suitcase.
Go back to your own business.
Unable to bear her lukewarm attitude and intriguing nature, Bai Yitang stood up and blocked Bai Qianmo's way, forcing her to look at him.
"Bai Qianmo, someone as cunning and clever as you, you wouldn't actually be scared off by Bai Xinrou's little tricks, would you?"
Bai Qianmo chuckled softly, said nothing, and turned to fasten her suitcase.
Don't you think Grandpa is like a different person?
"You noticed it too? I thought I was the only one who had this thought. Ever since he woke up yesterday, it's like he's been brainwashed by Bai Xinrou. He believes whatever Bai Xinrou says. He used to dote on you so much, but today, just because Bai Xinrou took a liking to your room, he made you vacate it without saying a word. This is really not like him."
"Sleepy Gu!"
"What?" Bai Yitang was clearly stunned when he heard Bai Qianmo say those three words.
Bai Qianmo sat on the edge of the bed and said, word by word, "The reason why Grandpa has become like this is because Bai Xinrou has put a sleep-inducing Gu on him. This kind of Gu has a strong sense of self and has been implanted with commands before entering the human body. So Grandpa's change in attitude towards Bai Xinrou is actually due to being controlled by the sleep-inducing Gu!"
Bai Yitang's eyes widened, and he was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
"This...this is real? You...you're not kidding me, are you? There really is such a thing as Gu poison in the world?"
This is too unbelievable! He had only ever seen it in martial arts dramas, and he never imagined that one day something like this would happen to him.
"Believe it or not!" Bai Qianmo was too lazy to explain.
Bai Yitang was silent for a while, then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he pestered Bai Qianmo and said, "I believe you. If Grandpa is controlled by the Sleeping Gu, how can we save him?"
It turns out he had misunderstood the old man before, thinking that the old man had been cursed. However, being controlled by Gu worms seems to be similar to being cursed.
His mouth is practically blessed; he actually guessed correctly.
"The only way to cure the poison is to find the person who cast the spell; only their blood is the only antidote."
Bai Yitang pondered for a while, then seemed to suddenly understand something.
"So you've been tolerating Bai Xinrou at every turn, hoping to follow the clues and uncover the truth?"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Yitang: "Not too stupid!"
As she finished speaking, she took out two small black objects from her pocket, which looked like a small black opening.
Her gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the crystal chandelier in the center.
She then moved a chair from in front of the dressing table, stepped on it, and tested the height.
Because the old house is taller than the apartment building, she couldn't reach the wick of the lamp even when she stretched out her arm.
She looked down at Bai Yitang, who immediately understood what she meant.
"Hehe, now you know how useful I am."
Bai Qianmo jumped off the stool and handed him the miniature camera.
Bai Yitang nimbly climbed onto the stool, found a relatively secluded yet excellent spot, and installed the miniature camera.
"Go to the bathroom!"
"Are you such a pervert? You even want to watch people take a bath?!"
Bai Qianmo glanced coldly at Bai Yitang.
"Where do you hide when you make secret phone calls?"
Bai Yitang was taken aback, his gaze drifting towards the bathroom before he understood Bai Qianmo's meaning.
Without further ado, I picked up a chair and went into the bathroom.
After the camera was installed, Bai Qianmo looked around, took out her phone and connected it. Two pages immediately appeared on her phone, one showing her bedroom and the other showing the bathroom.
"Alright, move my things out. Someone's waiting for me at the door."
"With Bai Xinrou such a ticking time bomb in the Bai family, aren't you worried about Grandpa's safety?"
"As long as they haven't achieved their goal, Grandpa and you are safe for now."
Seeing Bai Qianmo's confident demeanor, Bai Yitang's initial unease gradually subsided.
"Since you're not at the Bai family's house, I will take on the responsibility of protecting Grandpa."
"As long as you don't mess things up, everything will be fine."
"Bai Qianmo, I'm warning you, don't always look down on people like that." Bai Yitang was so angry that his weak spot was hit.
Bai Qianmo glanced at him indifferently: "I'm not looking down on people, I'm looking down on you!"
Bai Yitang:......
I felt utterly disrespected by the other party!
