Bai Yitang then realized the seriousness of the situation and blinked innocently twice.
"So what should I do now?"
"Walk out through this door and pretend nothing happened. Even if someone is following you, pretend you didn't notice anything. Remember, don't look back."
"Why?"
"There are no so many whys. If you want what's best for the Bai family and to save your life, just do as I say."
Bai Yitang was stunned by Fang Shu's cold and domineering tone, and lowered his head in silence.
He felt useless.
The bad guy was just a wall away from him, but he had no way to catch him.
In order not to alert the enemy, he even had to pretend to be nonchalant.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Bai Yitang irritably smoothed his hair and picked up his backpack from the sofa.
What will you do if I leave?
"I have my own way."
Bai Yitang nodded without saying anything more.
He slung his backpack over his shoulder, reached for the doorknob, and went outside.
There used to be two people on duty at the entrance, but now there are four.
They were both dressed in black and had the same imposing physique.
As the four people walked out of Bai Yitang's opposite door, they all looked at him.
Being stared at by four burly men made Bai Yitang nervous, but remembering Fang Shu's instructions, he suppressed his nervousness and walked past the four men with a blank expression.
Bai Yitang's heart pounded wildly, and he felt several pairs of eyes staring intently at him from behind.
He continued walking forward with his neck stiff, and soon footsteps followed closely behind him.
Bai Yitang's legs went weak, but he forced himself to walk forward. When he reached the elevator, he saw a figure quickly hiding in the shadows not far behind him through the glass of the elevator door frame.
"bite"
The elevator doors opened, and Bai Yitang immediately stepped into the elevator and pressed the close button at the same time.
The elevator doors slowly closed, and just as they were about to shut, a hand darted in.
His heart clenched painfully.
The elevator doors reopened, and a tall figure walked in.
The other person gave him a cold look, then turned around and pressed the close button on the elevator door.
The elevator doors closed again, and it began to slowly descend.
The atmosphere inside the elevator was extremely tense. Bai Yitang stood in the corner, head down, but his eyes were constantly watching the other person's movements.

Inside the room
Someone pushed open the door and came in.
"Master, An Heng has gone to follow that kid."
A video appeared on the LCD TV screen. Two men were standing opposite each other in the elevator. Neither of them seemed to be looking at the other, but the atmosphere felt strangely odd.
"Bai Yitang? It really was that kid who was following me," Bai Xinrou said angrily.
The man sitting on the sofa glanced at Bai Xinrou, then asked the subordinate who came in to announce her arrival.
"Was he alone?"
"Yes, this kid came in about ten minutes after Miss Bai arrived, and we watched him go into the room across the hall by himself."
The man toyed with the glass in his hand, his slender fingers gently rubbing the glass.
After pondering for a moment, he said to his subordinate, "Go and check across the street."
The subordinate was puzzled as to why his master was doing this, but he dared not ask any questions and immediately obeyed the order and went out.
The man said to Bai Xinrou, "When you get back, ask Old Master Bai if the Huo family elder left anything behind before he died."
“Mr. Feng, I feel that Old Master Bai seems to be ignoring my commands lately. He used to obey me completely, but recently he has been making excuses to me repeatedly. Could it be that the sleep-inducing Gu is no longer able to control him?”
Mr. Feng didn't speak, but Mei, who was standing to the side, spoke first.
"The Sleep-Inducing Gu is the most difficult Gu poison to cure in the world. The only Gu poison that can rival it is the Love Gu. This kind of Gu poison is best at manipulating people's minds. Once it enters a person's body, the person's consciousness will be controlled by it. I think you are just too stupid and don't know how to get the old man to speak."
Bai Xinrou bit her lip, feeling indignant.
If you're so capable of calling me stupid, then come and say it yourselves!
Heh, now you still need me to find what you want, right?
Once I get the Bai family's old house, I'll sell it for cash and then I'll run away. Let's see who cares about your mess.
Bai Xinrou thought about the way Mei looked when she saw her earlier, and a plan formed in her mind.
This Mei looks exactly like Zhang Yafei. What is their relationship?
She must investigate thoroughly; perhaps she might uncover a huge secret.
The three burly men at the door found a staff member and opened the door to the room opposite.
Two of them went into the room and carefully searched the room.
I checked every place I could, but found nothing.
"Gentlemen, the cleaning line was just cleaned and disinfected by the cleaning lady this morning, so it is absolutely guaranteed to be clean."
One of them said coldly, "We'll take this room. Third brother, go downstairs and check in."
"OK"
One of them left with the staff, while the man who stayed behind walked around the room again. He thought there was nothing wrong with the room and was about to report back to the boss.
Just as he was about to leave, the curtains on the balcony were suddenly blown up by the wind.
The man paused slightly as he turned around, then stopped abruptly. He stared intently at the curtains on the balcony for a while before slowly walking towards the balcony.
In the dead of winter, who would open a window for no reason?
