Bai Qianmo's expression turned slightly cold.
"How could this be? Am I being held under house arrest?"
“Miss Bai, our master instructed us to protect you at all times. If you go out on your own and something happens, we will not be able to explain it to our master. Besides, our master and Commander Fang are not here now, so we cannot make an exception for you. Please forgive us.”
The big man was inwardly groaning.
The task assigned by the master must be obeyed.
But this little darling in front of them was someone their master cherished dearly, so they couldn't force him.
Bai Qianmo glanced at the two of them indifferently.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Look outside, Commander Fang has already returned."
The two burly men turned their heads together.
The moment they turned their heads, a sharp pain shot through their necks, their vision went black, and they lost consciousness.
The two of them collapsed to the ground, sprawled out in shock, leaving Yuan You and Chu Yi standing nearby looking utterly astonished.
"Alright, now I won't make things difficult for them."
Yuan You: "..." That's too simple and crude.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Bai Qianmo took two steps and found that the two soldiers behind her were not moving, staring blankly at the two unconscious men on the ground.
"oh!"
Yuan You snapped out of his daze and followed Bai Qianmo's footsteps.
"Miss Bai, if we go out like this, won't the boss be angry when he comes back?"
"Don't worry, even if he's angry, he won't hold it against me."
Yuan You smiled wryly: "Of course the boss won't hold you accountable, but he will hold us accountable."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You two are going out to eat, you're going in a different direction from me."
"By the way, Miss Bai, I haven't asked you yet, where are you headed now?"
"Wandering around."
Although Yuanyou said she had lived here for almost a year, she had no memory of it at this moment.
"Then let's walk around with you. You've lost your memory now, so you must be unfamiliar with your surroundings. It would be troublesome if you couldn't find your way back."
"You guys go ahead and eat, I won't bother you, I'm not bad with directions."
“It’s no trouble, we’re not hungry, we’ll stay with you.” Yuan You’s attitude was firm.
He thought to himself: Losing you would be the real problem.
Seeing that they insisted, Bai Qianmo didn't say anything more.
As the group walked out of the alleyway of the research institute, someone suddenly shouted in their direction from a black sedan.
"Hey, Bai Qianmo!"
Hearing her name called, Bai Qianmo looked up at the car.
A black Maybach opened its driver's and passenger's side doors almost simultaneously, and two young men ran towards it.
"Bai Qianmo, I've finally seen you! Look at yourself, you just woke up and you're already running around everywhere, making Grandpa, my parents, and my second uncle and aunt worry themselves sick." Bai Yitang immediately launched into a tirade.
Although Bai Luoyu was very worried about her, the thought that his sister was the big shot he admired made him, as her older brother, feel insecure.
Can you take your anger out on your idol?
Of course not.
Bai Luoyu glanced at Bai Qianmo and coughed lightly.
"Let's not talk about her for now. The family is getting anxious. Qianmo, come back with us quickly. Since you fell into a coma, Grandpa's health has been deteriorating. He used to be such a spirited old man, but now he's lost a lot of weight."
"Um... wait a minute, who are you?" Bai Qianmo stared blankly at Bai Luoyu and Bai Yitang in front of her.
Two strange men rushed towards her on the main road and demanded that she follow them. She didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
Bai Luoyu and Bai Yitang both looked astonished.
"Qianmo, you're joking, right? I'm your older brother."
"I'm your cousin, Bai Yitang. Don't you remember me?"
Bai Qianmo shook her head.
She had just heard Yuan You briefly mention her family situation in the capital, but Yuan You hadn't had much contact with her family and didn't know much about them.
Upon suddenly meeting her so-called older brother and cousin, they seemed like complete strangers to her.
Seeing that Bai Qianmo's gaze was distant, Bai Luoyu looked at Yuan You.
"What happened to my sister? What did Gu Jueye do to her?"
"Young Master Bai, you've misunderstood. Miss Qianmo lost her memory after waking up. I guess it might be related to her sudden coma last time. How could my boss do anything to harm Miss Qianmo? He dotes on her too much."
"He really has amnesia?" Bai Yitang asked in astonishment.
Bai Qianmo nodded: "I do not remember what happened in the capital this past year, but now, I can go with you."
“Miss Qianmo…” Yuan You tried to stop her.
Bai Qianmo interrupted him, saying, "I'm just going to see my family, Yuan You. When my fifth brother comes back, just tell him I went to the Bai family."
"Let's go then, Grandpa and the others are so worried," Bai Yitang urged.
Bai Qianmo nodded and left with them.
After watching them leave, Yuan You hurriedly said to Chu Yi, "Let's go, hurry back and inform the boss."
They can't cover up something this big.

At this moment, in a villa not far from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the capital.
A crisp cracking sound came from a room on the second floor.
"I told you not to save me, I'd rather just die. Why did you call a doctor for me? Why did you bring me back to life?" A woman's sobbing voice came from outside the door.
"Young Miss, how could you be so foolish? If anything were to happen to you, how heartbroken Old Master would be."
“Grandpa won’t be sad. Daughters of the Gu family are destined to suffer. From birth, their fate is sealed. Even in my generation, we cannot escape this destiny. I am so miserable living, I might as well die and be done with it.”
Jill, the maid who accompanied Lisa to China, also started to cry.
"Young Miss, please don't think like that. You are the one that Gu Lao loves the most."
"If he truly loves me and knows what I'm thinking, why... why is he still so cold to me? He clearly knows I deeply love Fifth Brother, and we've already made a marriage agreement, so why does it no longer count? I don't care, if I don't marry Fifth Brother, I'd rather die."
Jill looked helpless. The young lady's feelings for Young Master Gu had been evident since she was very young.
However, it was obvious to everyone that Young Master Gu did not love the young lady.
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
A tall, handsome man walked in.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, a glint of light flashed in Lisa's red and swollen eyes.
"Fifth brother...you...you didn't abandon me, did you?"
If he comes, it means she is still important to him.
