Suddenly, the entire hall lit up.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and her heart, which had been pounding with fear, finally relaxed a little.
The hall is huge, almost as big as a playground. It's decorated in a retro and luxurious style, with a series of mahogany furniture and expensive oil paintings hanging on the walls.
Hurry up and find the study! Where is the study? This house is so big, it's like a maze.
However, this place is still not as big as the European mansion. The European mansion is more than three times the size of this place. When she first entered the European mansion, she always got lost. At that time, it gave her a headache and it took her a whole month to get used to it.
She already had a terrible sense of direction, so how did she end up in this maze-like house? And that housekeeper, really, didn't even come along to lead the way. Wasn't Mrs. Ou supposed to have a very good relationship with Dean Gong? Why was the service so inadequate? She grumbled to herself.
There was no other way; she was terrible with directions and couldn't tell which way was which. So we could only search one place at a time. Anyway, she could still distinguish up, down, left, and right, so let's start from the right side.
The deep corridor was so dark, it was scary. What should she do? She trembled all over as she walked in, feeling her scalp tingling and her hair almost standing on end. "Bai Zhi, come on!" she thought, suppressing her fear as she peered inside.
And so, she fumbled for the switches room by room, searching room by room. This timid and ghost-fearing person was forced to come out today. She had used all the courage she had in her life on this day. She had to succeed and could not back down!
She gritted her teeth, her clenched fists trembling uncontrollably!
Professor Chen also entered the old house, but the old house was so big that they couldn't find each other because they were scattered all over the place. Professor Chen called Bai Zhi, but no one answered. It seemed that Bai Zhi had forgotten to take her phone.
Sigh, now we can only search for ourselves. But it's so dark here, and Bai Zhi has always been timid and afraid of ghosts. How scared will she be? How will she find her way? Professor Chen thought worriedly.
However, Bai Zhi wasn't at the door, which meant she was searching inside. It seemed that Xiao Zhi was going all out for Ou Zihan, and Professor Chen couldn't help but feel worried for Bai Zhi.
Oh, this child is so pitiful. She had an unhappy childhood, suffering abuse and torment from her stepmother. She grew up, got married, and finally found happiness, but her husband is now in critical condition. She has such a miserable life.
Professor Chen sighed, his eyes welling up with tears. He had never had children of his own, but he cherished Bai Zhi as if she were his own daughter.
His immediate priority was to help Bai Zhi find a study and a solution, so he sped up his efforts.
Bai Zhi had searched countless houses, probably dozens, right? She was disappointed time and time again, but she regained her confidence each time.
When she opened another door and turned on the light, she was stunned. She finally saw the study she had been dreaming of. The entire study was filled with classical charm, like the library of an ancient palace, with an elegant and scholarly atmosphere.
She looked around and saw that each medical book was categorized into different sections: pediatrics, gynecology, trauma surgery, etc., all neatly and systematically arranged.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat, completely drenched in cold sweat from fear. Sweat streamed down her fair and delicate face, which was pale with fear and anxiety. But then, looking at the study, a relieved smile appeared on her lips. She had finally found it!
She was about to plunge into the sea of medical books when, after taking just one step, her eyes filled with terror, a large floor tile beneath her feet suddenly slid open, revealing a huge black hole. She lost her footing and fell in with a scream of "Ah!"
With a thud, her body crashed heavily into a deep hole, feeling as if every bone in her body was broken, and she felt a sharp pain. [△Net www.AiQuxs.]

Her face was contorted in pain as she gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but she couldn't use her right arm at all. "Ugh," she groaned involuntarily. Her right arm was so painful that she couldn't move it and it was hanging down. It must have been broken.
She could only struggle to get up using her left arm.
Why is there a trap in Dean Gong's study? Why? She frowned in pain as she struggled to get up, thinking to herself.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a woman's voice coming from the cave entrance.
"Bai Zhi, we meet again. Do you remember me?" The woman's voice, as melodious as a copper bell, was cold and eerie.
Bai Zhi propped herself up on one side and looked up at the cave entrance. A beautiful woman's face came into view. The woman had fair skin, delicate features, and wore a red off-shoulder dress. She had a cool and noble temperament and inexplicably had an imposing aura.
Why does this woman look so familiar? It's like I've seen her somewhere before.
Gong Ru leaned forward, her head peering into the cave entrance, her beautiful eyes fixed on Bai Zhi's face like knives, her gaze clearly indicating ill intent.
Bai Zhi stared at her face, carefully searching her memory.
who is she?
Why set a trap for her? Why is she looking at her with such hostility? What did she do to offend this woman? What is this woman trying to do?
Several questions popped into Bai Zhi's mind in quick succession.
After a moment of silence, Gong Ru stared at Bai Zhi without moving, patiently waiting.
The air seemed to freeze, the silence chilling. Bai Zhi's arm ached terribly, her face growing paler with each passing pain, cold sweat pouring down her forehead and trickling down her cheeks and her slightly upturned, fair chin.
She looked closely at the woman in front of her, and for a minute, she finally remembered.
