Just as Bai Yitang was about to leave, Bai Xinrou walked in.
"Grandpa Bai!"
Bai Xinrou walked towards Elder Bai, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Yitang, who looked displeased.
Upon seeing Bai Xinrou, a smile immediately appeared on Bai Lao's face.
"Xinrou is here. Are you settling in well?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Bai, for arranging everything for me. This place is so much better than the small hotel we stayed in when we first arrived in the capital. Sitting in this spacious and bright room, I still feel like it's all too real."
"Hehe, taking over someone else's place, being unrealistic shows you have a guilty conscience."
As soon as Bai Yitang finished speaking, Old Bai's sharp gaze shot over him.
"Is it your turn to make insinuations here? If you're unhappy, leave now and stop getting in my way."
Bai Yitang's anger surged, but he suddenly remembered Bai Qianmo's instructions to him, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
The old man is not in his right mind right now, so there's no need to confront him directly.
"Alright, I won't get in your way anymore, I'm going to the study."
Bai Yitang glanced coldly at Bai Xinrou, then turned and strode out.
"Grandpa Bai, is Bai Yitang going to your study?"
"Well, that brat said he was going to find a book."
Bai Xinrou stared thoughtfully at Bai Yitang's departing figure.
Bai Yitang entered Bai Lao's study, closed the door, and began searching for something by pressing down on the bookshelf on the left side of the entrance.
There were several antique ornaments in the study, and a cabinet specifically for storing the old man's collection of paintings. He searched through it carefully but found no hidden compartments or mechanisms.
Judging from the items in the room, although they are all antique paintings, they are not particularly valuable.
This kind of thing shouldn't be so valuable that the other party would use a sleep-inducing poison to steal it, right?
Just as Bai Yitang was filled with doubt, he heard footsteps approaching.
My heart skipped a beat. I took out the miniature camera from my pocket, quickly scanned my surroundings, and finally fixed my gaze on a landscape painting hanging behind the desk.
I quickly walked over and installed the prepared miniature camera in a corner of the upper part of the picture frame.
He had just finished his task when the door was suddenly pushed open.
A hint of nervousness flashed in Bai Yitang's eyes, but he pretended to be calm as he searched through the books on the bookshelf next to him.
Bai Xinrou looked coldly at Bai Yitang, and only when she saw him actually searching for books in front of the bookshelf did her suspicion subside.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Yitang asked coldly, flipping through a book in his hand.
"I'm feeling bored, so Grandpa Bai told me to come to the study and find a couple of books to read. What books are you looking for?"
Bai Yitang coldly ignored Bai Xinrou, closed the book in his hand, and walked straight out of the study.
“Bai Yitang, I may be living in the Bai family for a long time from now on. As you have seen, Grandpa Bai loves me very much. Even when I wanted Bai Qianmo’s room, he would not hesitate to make Bai Qianmo give up the room.”
Bai Yitang turned around, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
What are you trying to say?
Bai Xinrou wore a confident smile.
"I want to kindly remind you that you should understand which way the wind is blowing in the Bai family right now. Actually, I quite like your straightforward personality. As long as you can get along peacefully with me in the future, I really hope that we can become friends who can talk about anything."
Bai Yitang chuckled coldly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Be friends with you? Bai Xinrou, aren't you a little too blindly confident? A woman like you, let alone be friends with, I wouldn't even bother with you as an enemy."
With a cold snort, Bai Yitang swaggered out of the study.
Bai Xinrou trembled with anger, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.
"Since you're so clueless, don't blame me for being impolite."
With a disdainful sneer, Bai Xinrou withdrew her gaze and closed the study door again.

After leaving the study, Bai Yitang ran all the way back to his room.
After locking the door from the inside, he walked to his desk, took out his phone, and dialed Bai Qianmo's number.
"Hey, Bai Qianmo, it's all taken care of."
"kindness!"
Bai Yitang said, "You have no idea how dangerous it was just now. I had only been in the study for a short while when that vicious woman Bai Xinrou followed right behind. Luckily, I was quick enough, or I would have been exposed."
"Did Bai Xinrou go to the study?" Bai Qianmo asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, he should still be in the study."
Bai Qianmo hung up the phone without saying a word.
Beep beep beep...
A busy signal came from the other end of the phone. Bai Yitang opened his mouth in surprise, then his fair face was filled with anger.
"Bai Qianmo, you really are a 'useful tool and then discarded' kind of person!"
He had just risked his life to complete the difficult task she had assigned him, and instead of praising him, she simply hung up on him?
Bai Qianmo's side
After hanging up Bai Yitang's call, she quickly operated her phone, and the image of Bai's study immediately appeared on the screen.
At this moment, in the video, a young woman is standing in front of the old white bookcase and display case, carefully searching for something. She doesn't seem to be interested in the antiques on the display case, either picking them up or rummaging around on the cabinet.
Seeing this series of familiar movements, Bai Qianmo already guessed what she was doing.
Bai Xinrou searched the study carefully, but still couldn't find what she was looking for.
His face grew increasingly pale, and he impatiently threw the basic book he was holding onto the ground.
He took his phone out of his pocket and made a call.
The other party answered quickly, and Bai Xinrou said irritably, "Are you sure that thing you're talking about is in Old Master Bai's hands? But I've searched almost the entire old man's study, and I haven't seen that thing."
The other person said something to her, and Bai Xinrou frowned slightly, glancing around at the walls.
After hanging up the phone, she continued to tap along the wall, especially near the bookshelf.
By now, Bai Qianmo had basically determined Bai Xinrou's purpose in coming to the Bai family.
She was searching for something, something that the person who cast the spell probably wanted.
What exactly does the Bai family possess that has caused such a great deal of trouble?
Bai Qianmo felt that in order to figure this out, she had to follow Bai Xinrou's lead and follow the clues to find the answer!
Bai Xinrou searched the study for a long time, but couldn't find what she wanted.
They could only leave dejectedly.
