Early the next morning
Bai Qianmo was awakened by the barrage of phone calls.
I squinted at the time; it was only a little past five in the morning.
He seemed a little agitated...
I picked up my phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls.
"Squeak squeak"
A WeChat message came through.
I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, what's wrong with you? You don't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages. Don't you love me anymore?!"
Squeak
I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Back in your country, you start letting loose, don't you? Do you want the whole world to know who you are? Aren't you afraid of being caught by a research institute and used as a guinea pig?"
Immediately following was a screenshot from a video.
Bai Qianmo pinched the bridge of her nose. In just one night, the video had already been uploaded to YouTube.
Bai Qianmo ignored Jayne's barrage of calls, scrolled through her phone, and discovered that Fifth Master had called her around 3 a.m.
Normally, he would call the other phone directly.
She is currently at the Bai family's old house, and the cell phone is still at Bai Kangyan's residence.
She smoothed her hair and immediately dialed back.
The phone rang several times before it was finally answered.
"It was really hard to find you."
Before Bai Qianmo could speak, a clear, gentle, and teasing voice came from the other side.
"You contacted me because of that video?"
“A paranormal research institution has now compared this video with one from a few months ago and suspects that the person in the video is the same person.”
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow dismissively and leaned against the headboard.
“There are many paranormal events abroad, so this one is nothing. If my estimate is correct, the official media here will have already issued a denial today.”
This kind of thing has always been taboo in China.
Some netizens even joked online, saying things like, "Animals can't become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
To put it bluntly, in China, similar paranormal events must be given a reasonable explanation. If the explanation is not convincing, they are all dismissed as "fake news."
The more widely the video spreads, the faster official media will deny it.
"Although I know you know what you're doing, it's still best to be careful in the future. Have you found out anything about that person?"
“Last night we followed them to a cemetery in the suburbs. I suspect it might be one of their secret hideouts. I planned to go there today to investigate further, but I think they probably left overnight.”
Qingrun chuckled, "Since you know they evacuated overnight, why did you go and investigate?"
Bai Qianmo's gaze fell on the sunlight streaming in through the window, her fair face radiating wisdom.
"It's a tactic to lure the snake out of its hole!"
It is not an easy task for a stronghold to relocate overnight; once they leave the cemetery, they will leave behind many clues.
"That person is not easy to deal with. There has been no news of Yin Chi from the G group. You must be extremely careful. If you really can't handle it, don't try to be brave." The man's tone was full of concern.
"I know. How's the situation with the Huo family?"
"You nearly killed me a while ago. Now the Huo family is looking to transfer some of their investments to China. Perhaps it's because they saw that you invested in Huaxing Petroleum. The Huo family has been getting along very well with Wansheng Group lately, and it seems they're even considering a marriage alliance."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery curling at the corner of her lips.
"It seems the Huo family has really gone to their wits' end."
The Guo family consists of only two brothers, Guo Qiheng and Guo Qize.
Although Guo Qiheng is a golden bachelor, he is usually low-key and mysterious.
However, she had heard a rumor that Guo Qiheng had actually been secretly married for a long time and had an illegitimate child who was now three years old.
Guo Qize is currently single, but his older brother controls all of Wansheng's projects.
He only recently took over the Huaxing Petroleum project; he has almost no say in the Wansheng project.
The Huo family is in a hurry right now, and between the two brothers, they will probably choose Guo Qiheng first.
Tsk tsk, looks like she's trying to stir up some trouble.

I got up early today
Bai Qianmo went to the courtyard to bask in the sun for a while.
Then I saw the old man carrying a birdcage, humming a bit of Peking Opera, and swaying his head as he walked into the inner courtyard.
An elderly man in Beijing loves to walk his bird. Every morning, he goes for a stroll in the nearby square.
Then I ate a few fried dough sticks and drank some soy milk in a nearby alley, and that's how the morning passed.
"Qianmo's awake! Look what Grandpa brought you." The old man was carrying two bags.
One of the paper bags contained a few fried dough sticks, while the other bag contained a serving of tofu pudding.
Fried dough sticks and tofu pudding are a perfect breakfast combination for northerners.
Bai Qianmo prefers the taste of tofu pudding to soy milk.
Under a century-old pear tree in the courtyard, there is a set of stone table and chairs.
The old man hung the birdcage on the tree branch and called Bai Qianmo over for breakfast.
Where is your aunt?
“Your aunt took Yitang to school early this morning, so it’s just the two of us at home.”
Bai Qianmo nodded and sat down.
The old man prepared chopsticks and a spoon and placed them in her bowl before sitting down and looking at her with a smile.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" The old man's eyes clearly had a problem.
Old Bai rubbed his hands together: "Girl, last night I was talking to your aunt about Yitang's schooling. Your aunt said she wanted him to go to the Capital No. 1 High School."
"No. 1 High School is pretty good. It's probably the school with the best college entrance rate in the capital." Bai Qianmo nodded.
I didn't really take those words to heart.
I took out a fried dough stick, tore it open, and threw it into the tofu pudding, then slowly ate it.
