Maybe the feeling of being inside the house was really different from being outside. Normally, An Ruyou's sleep quality was not very good, but tonight, An Ruyou entered into her sweet dreams in a very short amount of time.
However, after An Ruyou fell asleep, she was constantly surrounded by layers of dreams. In her dreams, there were many people that An Ruyou knew, that shesheidn't know, that she was familiar with, that she didn't know, that he didn't know, and that kept walking in front of An Ruyou. An Ruyou wanted to grab a person and ask him where he was currently, but in the eyes of these people, it seemed as if he couldn't see An Ruyou at all.
An Ruyou stood in place for a while, but realized that she did not know anything, so she decided not to sit still and wait for death. In front of An Ruyou, there was a straight path, but she could not see what was in front of him, because it was covered by a dense fog.
But An Ruyou's personality still made An Ruyou strong, she continued to walk forward, to see what was in front of him. An Ruyou reached out her hand and held onto the wall beside him as she slowly walked forward. In this place, there was no concept of time or even the concept of length, so An Ruyou just walked like this step by step for who knows how long. Finally, she saw a little light in the midst of this fog.
As though she did not feel tired at all, An Ruyou quickened her pace towards the light spots. At the same time, An Ruyou also noticed that the shadows of the people who were walking around him just now had all disappeared. She did not know where they had gone to, as if they had only sent An Ruyou here.
An Ruyou placed her hand in front of her forehead. Only after a while, did An Ruyou finally get used to the dazzling light, and then she saw clearly that there seemed to be a person sitting with his back to him.
After walking up to the figure, An Ruyou timidly reached out and poked her shoulder. An old man turned around and walked over.
So it was him! It was the old man that An Ruyou had once dreamt of. He had once given An Ruyou a treasure map, but until now, An Ruyou still had not unraveled the secrets of the treasure map. He kept the ancient map well, hoping to one day be able to unravel the secrets within.
"Elder, long time no see." An Ruyou took the initiative to greet him, "What are you trying to tell me this time?"
"Hm, this kid can be taught, but …" However, after the old man finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he lowered his head, dipped his finger into the teacup on the board in front of him, and started drawing.
An Ruyou, Ben Alai, and the others did not notice that this lowly person actually had a chess board, and a broken chess piece at that. As the tea was a drawing, it would be taken care of at the same time, so An Ruyou was unable to see what the old man had drew. She could only write down the lines the old man had drawn, all of them stored in her mind, and then think about what it was.
Although the old man only had a few strokes, he was extremely spirited. The tiger that was always fierce was already very lifelike in An Ruyou's mind. What did that mean?
Just as An Ruyou was thinking, she realized that the old man did not stop his actions. After dipping in some more water, the old man continued to stay below the tiger.
Then, the old man picked up the cup of water and gulped it down in one gulp. He stood up and stroked his sleeves, and without saying anything further, he turned around and walked towards a brighter place. He did not continue to speak with An Ruyou, but left behind a plate of broken pieces and the stunned An Ruyou.
Once the old man's figure was completely gone, all the light was extinguished in an instant. An Ruyou once again thought about entering a world of darkness, but An Ruyou's mind was still completely awake, all the sleepiness had left him. An Ruyou's body trembled, and he woke up from her dream.
Touching the back of her neck, An Ruyou realized that she was actually covered in cold sweat from this nightmare. Although she was already awake now, every detail within the dream, was still fresh in An Ruyou's mind. It was as if what happened just now, was not a dream but a truly bizarre experience that she had experienced before.
An Ruyou immediately found a piece of paper and a brush on the bedside table and drew out the simple drawing of the old man. She even wrote the words "tiger", "little person", "broken chess" on the side, wanting to see what exactly was the connection.
Bai Keke, who was separated from An Ruyou by a wall, had already slept soundly, had had a huge dream and woke up. Bai Keke, on the other hand, had not slept at all, because Bai Keke had picked up an unexpected phone call that was also within expectations.
After Bai Keke sneakily returned to his room from the door of the study, he took a bath in the bathtub in the bathroom, and even ate some fruits that Yin Zhenzhu had his auntie specially prepared for him. Only after that did he get onto the big bed, wanting to play with his phone and then have a good sleep did the phone in his hand suddenly ring, interrupting the food of the celebrity that she was looking at, and it even scared Bai Keke.
Furthermore, this was an unfamiliar number, so Bai Keke was even more unhappy. After answering it, his tone was very bad: "Hello? Who is it? and calling someone so late at night … " Bai Keke grumbled.
"Oh, he's really amazing. Listening to his words, the moment we returned to the An clan, our Miss Bai had already taken up his airs?" The person on the other side of the phone seemed to be ridiculing Bai Keke as he spoke.
The moment he opened his mouth, Bai Keke recognized the owner of the voice. It was the mysterious person who had been calling him and instructing him on what to do.
However, the words of this mysterious person were also somewhat infuriating, causing the originally somewhat fearful and embarrassed feelings of Bai Keke to be replaced by anger and fury. Originally, Bai Keke did everything for this mysterious man and listened to him just for the sake of him promising to be the general manager of the Andersen Group after he toppled both Andersen Group and An Ruyou, just a little lower than the president.
In the process of cooperation, Bai Keke had indeed seen the wrist and methods of this mysterious person, which was why he trusted him more and more and was willing to cooperate with him. However, while Bai Keke was doing this, he would inevitably make mistakes again. Every time this mysterious person scolded Bai Keke, which was why he made Bai Keke fear him so much.
But now, Bai Keke thought about it again. He had already been kicked out of the An clan, and hadn't seen what this mysterious man had done, and what he had promised him previously, was completely undone. If that was the case, why did he still have to respect him like before? And why be afraid of him?
When the mysterious man finished speaking, he was still waiting for Bai Keke to apologize to him, just like before.
But Bai Keke seemed to be in a terrible situation, "Hmph, why are you saying that you helped me? You didn't help me in any way, and I'm already kicked out of the An clan, and I don't see how you helped me anymore … As soon as I returned home, you started to call me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? " Bai Keke was a little flustered and exasperated, he also had the intention to provoke his, wanting to see what the mysterious man who was always so calm and collected would look like after he tore off the mask.
However, Bai Keke's position was obviously not as high as that mysterious person's. Even though Bai Keke had provoked him, although he was a little angry, he did not expose it, "Heh, you really are a stupid woman. Did you do what I told you to do? Do you think I don't know what you've done behind my back? Now you're blaming me in turn? " The aura of the mysterious man was stronger than Bai Keke's. With just a few words, he had overturned all of Bai Keke's original thoughts.
However, the mysterious person on the other side of the phone did not stop, "Bai Keke, since this is the case, you can go ahead and commit suicide, I will no longer care about you …"
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he had the intention to hang up. Bai Keke was completely terrified and immediately became flustered, "Wait, wait …"
"What's wrong? Does Miss Bai have anything else to say? " The mysterious man was still unhurried.
"That... "What I just said isn't what you're thinking, I …" Bai Keke desperately tried to think of an excuse, "I accidentally fell asleep just now, then I suddenly woke up and started to talk a bit rashly, don't lower yourself to the same level as me …" Bai Keke laughed awkwardly, holding the phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand became clear.
"Since Miss White has spoken, then I can only understand." However, the mysterious man's tone suddenly became serious. "If you really want me to help you, then behave yourself and stop thinking about those useless things!"
Bai Keke nodded his head in agreement. He was afraid that the mysterious man had abandoned his. In Bai Keke's current situation, this mysterious man might be the only one she could rely on.
"I won't waste time with you, An Ruyou has been really popular recently, I don't know what kind of things you are doing after fighting with An Ruyou every single day, you really are a pig of a teammate. You even said that you had to return to the An clan, you have to seize this opportunity for me. Hearing that An Ruyou has made some moves recently, you think of a way to get her business plan for me, I want to read it and then give you your next plan. "" Is that so? "" No, no.
Although this mission made Bai Keke feel that it was difficult, she was already at the point where he had no way out, so Bai Keke had to bite the bullet and accept, "Alright … "Alright, I'll try my best …"
"Not as much as I can, but I have to!" Without further ado, the mysterious man hung up the phone decisively, not sparing the slightest bit of face.
