Although Bai Qingzhi didn't usually associate with them, she knew what these socialites liked, so she arranged to meet them at an afternoon tea shop.
When she arrived, all the socialites were already there, waving enthusiastically at her.
With a gentle smile, Bai Qingzhi chatted and laughed with them as if there were no distance between them.
After a quick bite to eat, everyone unanimously decided to go check out the most luxurious shopping mall in City A.
The shopping mall belongs to the family of one of the socialites present, and everyone was there to show their support.
When the group arrived, the mall was filled with management staff on both sides, who all bowed and nodded when they saw the socialite.
"Hello, Miss."
The socialite wore an embarrassed smile, but Bai Qingzhi could clearly see the smugness in her eyes.
Apart from Bai Qingzhi, she was the person with the highest status present, and Bai Qingzhi was also a low-key person, so she naturally stole the limelight.
The remaining few wore expressions of envy, but what they were really thinking remained a mystery.
"What do you all like?" the socialite asked enthusiastically.
Bai Qingzhi tried to locate her sister as soon as she entered the mall, but unfortunately, she failed.
After strolling around for an hour, everyone else was carrying a lot of bags and packages, but Bai Qingzhi was empty-handed.
After all, her mind wasn't on that at all.
Seeing her like this, the socialite walked over, warmly put her arm around her, and asked if she didn't have anyone she liked.
"I haven't thought of anything I need to buy yet," Bai Qingzhi replied with a smile.
The socialite's eyes darted around. Since she wanted to befriend Bai Qingzhi, she naturally had to make some effort to do so.
"Qingzhi, it's rare for you to come out and hang out with us today. Just tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you as a gift," the socialite said generously.
"Thank you, I definitely won't be polite when I see something I like." Bai Qingzhi winked mischievously.
But before the socialite could even have a chance to shine, an unexpected incident occurred.
In order to enjoy shopping, no one else followed them, so there are only five or six defenseless socialites present.
The mall was an upscale restaurant area, and there weren't many customers. As the group strolled around, they unknowingly ended up in the last section.
Just as the group was about to enter the last shop, a woman with long, wavy hair suddenly walked out from the side, carrying a secret realm.
The woman had a great presence, and her clothes suggested she was from a wealthy and noble family. She was young, but none of the people had ever seen her in the social circles of City A.
As they passed each other, apart from the three who had already entered the shop, the remaining people, including Bai Qingzhi, instantly collapsed to the ground.
Conscious but weak all over.
The next second, the woman helped Bai Qingzhi up and took her away amidst the panicked gazes of the crowd.
By the time the two socialites lying on the ground were discovered, Bai Qingzhi had already been taken out of the mall and put into a car that had been prepared beforehand, and they sped away.
"Qingzhi, it's me." Just as Bai Qingzhi was feeling a little flustered, she suddenly heard the big waves in her ear speak.
It was my older sister's voice.
Surprised, Bai Qingzhi turned her head and looked Bai Qinghuan up and down carefully, but unfortunately, she couldn't find a trace of Bai Qinghuan.
"Disguise is so subtle that it's impossible to tell unless someone actually uses it," Bai Qinghuan continued with a smile.
In an instant, she saw a light burst forth in her sister's eyes.
Such a serious matter as Bai Qingzhi being taken away was naturally not concealed by anyone, and the Bai family was immediately notified.
Although the Bai family knew about the plan, they wanted to go all out and directly contacted their network of contacts in City A to begin their search.
By this time, the two sisters had arrived at a small house in the suburbs.
"This is my safe house. No one but me can come in." Bai Qinghuan unlocked three locks before pushing open the door and walking in.
Bai Qingzhi followed behind her sister and didn't notice anything special about the house.
A very simple farmhouse courtyard.
Under her questioning gaze, Bai Qinghuan changed out of her long dress and also put a large black plastic bag over her head.
Immediately afterwards, she saw her sister crawl into the fire hole under the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Keep up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qinghuan had completely disappeared.
Bai Qingzhi hurriedly followed her sister's path, only to discover upon entering that it was a hidden world inside.
There's a hidden basement down there!
The basement was very deep. After she was able to stand up, she walked for about five or six minutes until the space suddenly opened up before her.
A basement one-bedroom apartment, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
Besides these, there are also many other foods here, all of which are not easily spoiled and can be stored for several years without any problems.
"Solar power generation, unlimited hot water, and the lights can stay on forever, isn't that amazing?" Bai Qinghuan reached out and took the plastic bag off her sister, playfully winking as she asked.
Bai Qingzhi walked around the room and then nodded vigorously.
While watching the movie, she thought those so-called safe houses were exaggerated, but after seeing her sister's, she suddenly realized that the movie was still too conservative!
"You take a break, I'll go contact the employer." Bai Qinghuan tossed her an orange, then took out her laptop and started typing.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Bai Qingzhi was like a curious child, curious about everything around her.
Finally, seeing that her sister ignored her, she stood up and walked around looking at things.
"I have the person. Do you want him dead or alive?"
The response was quick; they must have been online the whole time.
"You got it?" he asked, seemingly incredulous.
"Do you want to live or die?" Bai Qinghuan didn't want to waste any more words with him and asked again.
This time, the other side answered even faster.
"You're going to die! Bring me her head!"
"Are you crazy? If I'm carrying a severed head around, and it gets discovered, do I not have to pay you a commission?"
The other side seemed to know that there were some problems with this request.
"Then bring the body here. I want her pierced by a thousand arrows, her belly ripped open." The man seemed to harbor a deep hatred for Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qinghuan frowned, a surge of anger rising in her heart.
“I don’t have a sadistic habit. If you’re going to die, I’ll just kill her with one blow, or I’ll let her go. After all, I think you seem to have some mental issues, and I’m worried you won’t be able to pay my commission.”
Upon hearing Bai Qinghuan's question, the employer seemed very angry and slapped a large wad of bright red bills over.
"I'll send the body to you tomorrow. Contact me tomorrow." After saying that, Bai Qinghuan decisively logged off.
However, she had already saved the picture and sent it to Xiao Yuan and Bai Qinghuai to see if they could find any clues in it.
The boss behind the dark web has extensive connections and his technical staff are top-notch hackers, so Bai Qinghuan dared not hack into it.
She wasn't confident she could locate her employer without being detected.
There was also a short knife in that photo, not the kind you usually see, which could be considered a clue.
News quickly came back from Xiao Yuan's side that the short sword was carved by a master craftsman, and there were only 110 of them in the world.
