Bai Yitang was very unhappy about the fact that Fang Shu had forbidden him from leaving the Bai family.
"What if they come to my house and try to harm me? Who can protect me?"
"With me here, they have no chance."
Bai Yitang: "You're too narcissistic, aren't you? I haven't seen your true skills yet. Who knows, when they come to our house, you might be hiding behind me."
Fang Shu seemed to completely disregard Bai Yitang's training.
He took his phone out of his pocket, fiddled with it for a bit, and then a hissing sound came from the other end of the phone.
Immediately, a man's voice came from the phone.
As Fang Shu performed his actions, Bai Yitang froze in astonishment.
hotel
The man sent to follow Bai Yitang returned to his master.
"Master, I am incompetent and lost Bai Yitang."
A silence
A cold female voice rang out: "Bai Yitang is just a weakling who can't even kill a chicken. How could you lose track of him?"
“Sister Mei, there were some unexpected events along the way, which allowed that brat Bai Yitang to escape. I am willing to make amends by personally going to the Bai family to monitor that brat. I swear I will never give that brat any chance to escape again.”
The man who hadn't spoken until now chuckled softly: "That kid took the opportunity to slip away, which means he already knew about you."
"Master, I don't understand. Why should we follow Bai Yitang, an ordinary person with no fighting skills and no brains?"
Mei scoffed, "You think the master really sent you to follow Bai Yitang?"
The man looked puzzled.
Mei scoffed lightly: "We need to be constantly wary of the people behind Bai Yitang?"
"Is it Bai Qianmo? How much trouble can a little girl like her cause?"
"Hehe, don't underestimate this girl. With your skills, you'd be lucky to last ten moves against her."
The man was very displeased by Mei's merciless sarcasm.
He had served his master for twenty years, yet he was always overshadowed by this woman.
He had been resentful of her for a long time, and now, in front of his master, she was mocking him for not being able to beat a weak woman.
"Hmph, Sister Mei, then you just have to watch and see whether Bai Qianmo is more capable or I am more skilled."
"Hehe, wait until you defeat Bai Qianmo before you talk about it."
"you……"
“Say no more!” Mr. Feng said.
Mei immediately lowered her eyes and looked down meekly, and the man dared not speak again.
"Go and help Bai Xinrou find the whereabouts of the jade pendant. If Bai Xinrou runs away on her own, you know what to do."
"Understood!"

Just as they finished eavesdropping, there was a knock on the door.
It seemed that everyone had left the room.
Bai Yitang clicked his tongue and looked at Fang Shu.
"How did you manage to eavesdrop on all this? That guy was following me the whole time, how come I didn't see you planting a listening device on him?"
Fang Shu sent the recording to Bai Qianmo and glanced at Bai Yitang when he had a spare moment.
"If even you could see that, the plan would have failed long ago."
Bai Yitang's cheeks puffed up in anger.
"Don't look down on me, hehe. Although I, Bai Yitang, can't beat you, I'm smart."
I remembered that fat guy saying he not only lacked fighting skills but also brains.
Hmph, this feud is now firmly established between us, and he's determined to get back the face he lost today.
Fang Shu said nothing, only gave Bai Yitang a cold glance, and then left the room.
"What...what kind of expression is that? Hey, who do you think you are?"
These arrogant and conceited fellows!

Bai Qianmo received a recording from Fang Shu when she was almost at the filming location.
After listening to the recording, Fang Shu called.
"Did you listen to the recording?"
"Hmm, what did you find out at the Haiyue Hotel today?"
"Qianmo, have you ever heard Grandpa Bai tell you about his rise to wealth?"
Bai Qianmo frowned, not understanding why Fang Shu was asking about her grandfather's family history.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, it seemed that my talkative grandfather rarely talked about how he made his fortune.
He didn't even go into detail about how he entered politics.
When talking about his past, his grandfather often mentioned his grandmother.
"What about the fact that Old Master Bai married into the family?"
"I know. What does this have to do with the clues you found?"
Fang Shu said in a deep voice, "Madam Bai, that is, your grandmother, is a member of the Huo family."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Qianmo felt a buzzing in her head.
Grandma was actually a member of the Huo family?
Why does Grandpa never mention this?
"Is it related to the Huo family in Country Y?" Since Fang Shu mentioned his grandmother's background, it's likely that the Huo family and Huo Xiuxiu's family have some connection.
“I overheard Mr. Feng and Bai Xinrou’s conversation. They only said that the old house of the Bai family was originally the old house of the Huo family. As for what they were looking for, it seemed to be a white jade pendant shaped like a leaf. If Old Master Bai does not know the whereabouts of the jade pendant, it is very likely that it belongs to the Huo family’s ancestors and is now hidden somewhere in the Bai family.”
Upon hearing about the leaf-shaped jade pendant, a strange feeling flashed through Bai Qianmo's heart.
The terrifying threat that had been looming over the Qin family originated from a black leaf.
Subsequently, archaeological experts discovered an ancient tomb from the Zhou Dynasty and unearthed a jade pendant of the same color as a black leaf from the tomb chamber.
Now, that mysterious Mr. Feng is searching for a jade pendant shaped like a white leaf.
One is white, the other is black, and both are leaf-shaped; there must be some connection between them.
What exactly is the relationship between the Huo family and the current Bai family?
Why has Grandpa never mentioned the Huo family?
