Bai Xinrou was furious when she saw that Old Master Bai wouldn't listen to her.
He stepped forward and made a gesture as if to force Old Bai to lie down.
Bai Qianmo grabbed her wrist and squeezed hard with her fingers.
"Ah... Bai Qianmo, let go!" Bai Xinrou screamed in pain.
Bai Qianmo saw this and gave Bai Xinrou a cold look.
"It's none of your business when my grandfather rests."
Bai Xinrou felt like her wrist was about to be crushed, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
"Let go! Let go now!"
"Bai Qianmo, what are you doing? Xinrou's advice to Bai Lao to rest is well-intentioned. Let go!" Zhang Cuiyan saw her daughter being bullied and rushed forward to stop it.
Bai Qianmo glared coldly at Zhang Cuiyan, who then abruptly withdrew her outstretched hand.
"Old Bai, please take a look at Qianmo. Isn't she bullying Xinrou?"
"Qianmo..." Old Bai frowned, looking at Bai Qianmo with disapproval.
He seems about to get angry.
Bai Qianmo secretly pinched Bai Xinrou's wrist hard, and Bai Xinrou screamed, cold sweat pouring down her face from the pain.
Bai Qianmo moved quickly and withdrew her hand.
"Grandpa, Auntie has been making you a white fungus and lotus seed soup for over three hours. It's your favorite soup. After you finish the soup, we can have a good chat about Grandma. I'm very interested in her stories."
When his wife was mentioned, Old Bai's gloomy expression gradually softened.
Once Bai Xinrou was freed, she immediately avoided Bai Qianmo.
Zhang Cuiyan worriedly pulled her wrist to check, and a purplish-blue bruise was clearly visible on her fair wrist.
"Bai Qianmo, look what you've done, you brat! You've pinched Xinrou's wrist until it's red and swollen."
Zhang Cuiyan glared fiercely at Bai Qianmo.
Bai Qianmo looked completely innocent and said, "I'm so sorry, my grandfather is not in good health. Bai Xinrou's actions were too rough just now. I was afraid of hurting my grandfather, so I didn't pay much attention when I hit him."
"You did this on purpose," Bai Xinrou accused angrily.
Bai Qianmo curled her lips and looked at Bai Xinrou provocatively.
"I'm so grateful to you for staying at the Bai family to take care of my grandfather. How could I possibly be targeting you on purpose? You've really misunderstood me."
"Grandpa Bai, I think Qianmo just doesn't want me to stay in the Bai family anymore. If you don't want me to stay by your side either, I won't stay here." Bai Xinrou looked at Grandpa Bai with a wronged expression.
Old Master Bai glanced at Bai Xinrou: "Xinrou, I treat you like my own granddaughter, how could I not want to keep you by my side? Qianmo, you didn't know your own strength, quickly apologize to Xinrou."
Apologize to Bai Xinrou?
A hint of arrogance flashed in Bai Qianmo's cold eyes. Did she deserve it?
Immediately, Bai Qianmo's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
"Grandpa, don't you love me anymore? Grandma said in her dream that you should take good care of me and love me, but now you treat other people as your own granddaughter and treat your own granddaughter as an outsider. I really didn't mean it just now, I just wanted to protect you, but because of Bai Xinrou's words, you made me apologize without even asking what happened. You're not just hurting my feelings, but you're making my deceased grandma unable to rest in peace."
Whenever the late Mrs. Bai was mentioned, Mr. Bai immediately lost his arrogance.
"Let's treat this as a misunderstanding and not mention it again. Xinrou, you should all go back now." Old Bai waved his hand wearily.
Bai Xinrou's face turned ashen. That brat Bai Qianmo always used the deceased Old Madam Bai as a shield. It seemed that Old Madam Bai would be immune to the control of the Gu worms as soon as he heard about Old Madam Bai.
It seems she needs to strengthen her control over Old Master Bai.
Otherwise, acquiring the Bai family's old house would be extremely difficult.
Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou walked out of Bai Lao's room with cold faces.
Bai Qianmo watched them leave, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
It seems that Grandma's importance in Grandpa's heart can indeed temporarily resist the control of the sleep-inducing poison.
When Bai Xinrou realized that her grandfather was becoming difficult to control, she would inevitably report to that person.
At that time, the other party should take some action.
This is a good opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.
After Bai Lao fell into a deep sleep, a figure with a cool and aloof aura appeared in the room.
Bai Qianmo looked at the other person and said, "I'll trouble you to protect my grandfather secretly these next few days."
"Don't worry, I will protect Old Master Bai." The other person's voice was low and cold.
He glanced at Bai Lao, who was fast asleep on the bed, and then slowly shifted his gaze to Bai Qianmo.
Bai Qianmo sat on the edge of the bed, her face showing deep worry.
"Does Fifth Brother know anything about the other party's background?"
"Fifth Master said the other party is from the Time and Space Administration, and they seem to be very interested in you."
Time and Space Administration Bureau?
Upon hearing this name, Bai Qianmo shuddered.
Some time ago, she received a card from the Time Bureau, which is short for the Time and Space Administration.
Why is the other party keeping a close eye on her?
Also, what exactly are they looking for at the Bai family?
"How much does the G Group headquarters know about this Time and Space Administration Bureau?"
"Currently, all we know is that the master of the Time and Space Administration has close ties with the Yin family. By the way, Yin Chi recently returned to the Yin family. The Yin family has been quite turbulent lately, and there may be a major reshuffle."
Bai Qianmo scoffed. After injuring Yin Chi in his lair last time, this person had never shown his face again.
So she ran back to the Yin family. Heh, that slap she gave him last time will probably make him need to rest for a while.
"Remember to let me know immediately if there's any news from Fifth Brother."
The man nodded: "Fifth Master wants you to take some time to go back. Things have been quite turbulent in Y Country lately. The Yin family and the Mo family are now united against a common enemy and are secretly annexing a lot of forces in the black market. Moreover, the Yin family's subordinates have repeatedly provoked our Gu family, which I suspect is intentional."
Bai Qianmo fell into deep thought.
Previously, the four major families of Yin, Mo, Gu, and Feng had always maintained a situation of mutual restraint and non-interference.
Since the Mo family and the Yin family formed a marriage alliance, the two families have gradually become closer.
The Mohists were skilled in mechanical arts and also proficient in medicine, while the Yin School focused on witchcraft and Gu poison.
If they were in opposition, the entire state of O could remain at peace, but now they have joined forces, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus.
Judging from their initial signs, they intend to target the Gu family.
The Gu family is not only an ancient martial arts family, but also holds a noble title. As one of the four major families, they can be said to control half of the financial sector in O state.
A tall tree catches the wind, and naturally, it has long been coveted by others.
