Gu Jueye's merciless words left Bai Xinrou speechless with anger for a long time.
She stormed into the ancestral hall and saw that the men's clothing Bai Qianmo was wearing belonged to Gu Jueye, which fueled her jealousy even more.
“Bai Qianmo, Grandpa Bai told you to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, but you are sitting in front of the ancestral tablets instead? Such disrespectful and unfilial behavior towards your elders, if Grandpa Bai finds out, I'm afraid you will have to continue kneeling here.”
Bai Qianmo rested her chin on her hands and glanced at Bai Xinrou with a languid expression.
"Bai Xinrou, aren't you tired of putting on so many faces every day? You're like a lapdog in front of my grandfather, but you turn into a mad dog in front of us. If I give you some dog food, will you come and lick my boots too?" Bai Yitang looked at Bai Xinrou with a smug grin.
After being ridiculed by Bai Yitang, Bai Xinrou's face turned ashen.
"Hmph, Bai Yitang, you should take a look at yourself. You're nothing but Bai Qianmo's dog. If she tells you to go east, you wouldn't dare to go west. Tell me, you're supposed to be the second young master of the Bai family, how can you be so spineless and let others manipulate you?"
"Heh, being a loyal dog is better than being a mad dog like you, swaying left and right, wagging your tail and begging for mercy."
"You... Bai Yitang, what are you capable of? You and Bai Qianmo have been punished by Grandpa Bai and made to face the wall in the ancestral hall to reflect on your mistakes, haven't you? Heh, let me tell you, as long as I am in the Bai family, Grandpa Bai will only listen to me. In his heart, I am far more important than you."
Bai Yitang snorted disdainfully.
Bai Qianmo, who had been silent all along, let out a soft sneer.
"Get out of here after you've said your piece!"
Bai Xinrou sneered: "Bai Qianmo, what are you still being arrogant about? Do you think it's comfortable to stay in this cold and damp ancestral hall of the Bai family? Fine, I'll go and talk to Grandpa Bai and let you stay in this ancestral hall for a few days."
Bai Xinrou surveyed the environment of the ancestral hall from her elevated position.
She seemed to notice several beams of light shining down from above, and curiously looked up at the landlord.
Bai Yitang felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, staring at Bai Xinrou with a wary expression.
The time is almost up. If Bai Xinrou finds out, everything will be over.
"Bai Xinrou, why aren't you leaving?" Bai Yitang urged impatiently.
Bai Xinrou withdrew her gaze and looked at Bai Qianmo and Bai Yitang.
"I heard it snows every night. This shrine has been in disrepair for years. When the snow melts tomorrow morning, the house will probably be flooded. Hehe, I'll come back to see you all frozen like this then."
Not noticing anything, Bai Xinrou made a sarcastic remark and then turned and left.
Bai Yitang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I was so worried just now, afraid that Bai Xinrou, that vicious woman, would find out something."
Bai Qianmo seemed relaxed and smiled, "You overestimate Bai Xinrou's intelligence. With her brain, she wouldn't have thought of so many things."
Bai Yitang thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement: "That's true. By the way, when did I become your loyal dog?"
Bai Qianmo looked at him seriously: "Didn't you just admit it yourself? Although I only found out now, I can barely accept it."
"Go to hell! You're not going to accept this nonsense! I'm not a dog, and even if I were, I would never be your dog!"
Pshaw, what are you talking about?!
He's not a dog, he's not a dog!!!
A faint smile appeared on Bai Qianmo's lips, and her expression changed slightly when she looked at the beams of light.
She reached out and tugged at Bai Yitang.
Bai Yitang also looked toward the light of the technology.
A miracle happened.
It was one o'clock at noon, and sunlight streamed into the room through the seven holes in the roof. The beam of light was precisely on the blue brick that Bai Qianmo had marked beforehand.
Something amazing happened.
A number appeared on each of the blue bricks.
Bai Qianmo quickly memorized the string of numbers.
"What...what does this number mean?" Bai Yitang asked, completely bewildered.
I originally thought that once the sunlight shone on the blue bricks, I would be able to find what I was looking for.
The result was yet another string of mysterious numbers.
?
Bai Qianmo pondered the meaning of the string of numbers carefully in her mind.
Literally, ordinary numbers have no formula and seem to have no special meaning.
After dissecting the problem repeatedly, Bai Qianmo finally realized that there seemed to be no connection between the string of numbers and the ancestral hall.
She had carefully examined the entire ancestral hall and found no possibility of adding secret rooms or additional floors.
When Gu Jueye rushed back to the ancestral hall, Bai Qianmo and Bai Yitang were staring at each other, completely at a loss.
"A discovery?"
Bai Yitang nodded and told Gu Jueye about the numbers he had just discovered.
Upon hearing this string of numbers, Gu Jueye pondered for a moment.
"Numbers starting with 13 seem to be some kind of code or number."
A sharp glint flashed in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
Password, number? She had been so focused on connecting this string of numbers to the ancestral hall that she had overlooked external factors.
This seven-digit number looks like a password or some kind of code.
Gu Jueye made a phone call, and the other party called back very quickly.
Unsure of what the other person said, Gu Jueye's expression changed, and he glanced at Bai Qianmo.
"Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jueye spoke under the watchful eyes of Bai Qianmo and Bai Yitang.
"The pawn shop has a place to store customers' personal belongings. The safes there are all numbered starting with 136 and are seven digits long."
Bai Yitang immediately stood up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the pawn shop now. What we're looking for must be inside."
Bai Qianmo remained seated, motionless.
"It's not so easy to get into a pawnshop."
