It was rare to hear such human-like complaints from Bai Shiyun, but she could not help but laugh, and was willing to continue calling.

It was just that he could not leave the situation here, otherwise, he might really go to the Bai Clan to visit Bai Shiyun.

He had always been on guard against the Bai Clan and always felt that the Bai Clan was hiding some secrets that no one else knew and that these secrets were very attractive to him.

The Bai Mansion had piqued his interest greatly, so he naturally was willing to come over if he had the chance.

"I'll go see you a few days later when your father is not home."

Zhong Wentao said with a smile.

"He's at home every day, as if he's watching over me."

Bai Shiyun unwittingly complained, causing a trace of doubt to flash past her mind.

Was the chairman of the Bai's Group really that free?

Although Bai Shiyun was injured, it was just a small wound. She would be fine after a night of rest, why would she still have to work so hard? Bai Minggang had to stay at home and watch over him every day, there was a problem with that!

"I'll come see you in two days!"

The Bai Family had already made him more and more curious, and he couldn't help but go and find out what exactly Bai Minggang's secret was.

What kind of secrets were hidden on Bai Shiyun's body?

Inside the room, Zhou Zihan could hear the conversation outside clearly.

She didn't know what Zhong Wentao was thinking and thought that Zhong Wentao couldn't help but want to go see Bai Shiyun.

Once again, the policemen came in to record their statements. Zhong Wentao hung up the phone and walked outside, but he did not notice Zhou Zihan's situation.

The door opened gently. Zhou Cangzhu stood in the doorway and looked helplessly at his sorrowful daughter.

"Don't cry."

Zhou Cangzhu said softly, and he looked very different from usual.

"Father, Big Brother Zhong has fallen for someone else …"

Zhou Zihan sobbed softly, suppressing the pain in his heart.

"Foolish child, don't be sad. As long as you are willing, father will think of a way for you to make him yours!"

Zhou Cangzhu spoke coldly, with determination.

The treasure of the 'Ciji Hall', he had never taken it out to use. This was something he had left especially for Zhou Zihan, for his own daughter's happiness.

"No!"

Zhou Zihan quickly shook his head and refused Zhou Cangzhu's suggestion.

She wanted Zhong Wentao to truly like her and not use any other means.

"You are just too stupid!"

Zhou Cangzhu sighed helplessly as he walked forward and hugged Zhou Zihan to comfort him.

As he looked outside the door, he could vaguely see the back of Zhong Wentao, who was being questioned by the police.

Bai Mansion.

Just as Bai Shiyun hung up the call, Bai Minggang walked in with Huang Rulong.

"Shiyun, your body is pretty much recovered. If it's Long Tian Tian Yun who comes to see you, it's about time that you go out for a walk with him."

Bai Minggang said with a smile, but his tone clearly understood that he needed a son-in-law like Huang Rulong, as well as business partners. Bai Shiyun definitely could not kick him out.

"I'm still feeling a little unwell. I should be fine in a few days, right?"

Bai Shiyun laughed and said, looking at Huang Rulong.

Huang Rulong naturally had no objections, beauties had to wait.

At that time, Bai Shiyun was even more mysterious; she might not even see him once every month.

On the contrary, they had met often now, which made Huang Rulong feel weird.

Seeing that Bai Shiyun was disobedient, Bai Minggang's face became gloomy.

Although depression was better, the personality was not the same as before.

This was something he had always been worried about, but in the end, it had still happened.

Even if he counted down, he still had to blame the God that suddenly appeared for curing this so-called depression. Otherwise, if his daughter was still as talented and obedient as before, how good would it be to fight for his Bai Enterprise?

"Uncle Bai, what's wrong?"

Huang Rulong asked softly, feeling that Bai Minggang's face was turning uglier and uglier.

"I'm fine, you youngsters chat, you guys chat."

Bai Minggang said as he quickly left.

The butler bowed to the two and left quickly.

Bai Shiyun did not speak, she only looked at the two who left one behind the other. Since when did the two of them become so inseparable?

"What's wrong? What's wrong with them? "

Seeing her gaze, Huang Rulong was a little curious.

"Ah …"

His headache made her moan, Huang Rulong immediately went over to the bedside to check on her, but he was scared away by her sharp gaze.

"You … Are you okay? "

Huang Rulong asked softly. Deep down in his bones, he was also someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Although he liked Bai Shiyun's beauty and family background, if Bai Shiyun was not as gentle as she looked, he would have to consider more.

"I'm fine."

Bai Shiyun coldly replied. Her beautiful and delicate face showed an impatient expression, and her heart became more and more agitated.

Huang Rulong understood the situation, but he hesitated to leave. It was not easy to be with Bai Shiyun alone, this was such a good opportunity, he could not give it up!

"Young Noble Huang, I'm not feeling well today. It's best if you come back another day, at that time I'll definitely entertain you well."

Bai Shiyun opened her mouth, turned her face to the side, and ordered them to leave.

It wasn't easy for Huang Rulong to refuse, he could only nod his head and leave, then reluctantly moved his gaze away from Bai Shiyun's body.

Upstairs, in the study room, the dissatisfaction on Bai Minggang's face grew heavier as he watched him leave.

"Master, the little miss is becoming more and more different from usual."

The butler's voice was low and it seemed like he had changed his appearance.

"Stop him. No matter what, we have to stop him."

The him that Bai Minggang was referring to should be Zhong Wentao.

"The secret of the Bai Clan must not be found out!"

"But …" "As for Eldest Miss …"

After all, Bai Shiyun was very interested in Zhong Wentao.

If Zhong Wentao suddenly disappeared, it would instead arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Then let's wait a little longer. If it reaches the point where we must finish off this …"

"I understand, master. Please rest well."

The butler said before leaving.

Closing the door, the butler's lips curved into a smile. His aged eyes were actually shining with a youthful luster.

With a flash of light, the servant appeared and he had already returned to his original appearance.

Inside the room, Bai Shiyun sat on the luxurious bed. It was a place she had clearly grown up in, but she felt that it was even stranger.

Where was this place?

He slowly walked down from the bed, as if there was something attracting her, guiding her, making her walk slowly towards a certain direction.

Along the way, they did not meet any servants, and they smoothly arrived at the door of a room.

Just like when he was young, the steward's room was inside.

He raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. It was not locked.

It was as if everything had returned to how it was when he was a child. It was the same room, the same situation.

Not until she took out the copper mask from the butler's closet did she seem to be shocked awake.

"AHH!"

With a light cry, the mask fell onto the ground, producing a loud sound that brought Bai Shiyun back to reality.

Looking around, the entire room had a very eerie feeling to it.

"Tap, tap, tap …"

A sound came from outside the door.

His destination seemed to be this room. Was the steward coming back to rest?

Bai Shiyun was at a loss on what to do, as she frantically picked up the mask on the ground.

If he went out now, he would definitely meet the steward. How would he explain it then?

However, if she didn't go out, how would she hide?

Without time to think, the butler reached the door.

Bai Shiyun immediately rushed into the closet on the other side and hid in her clothes. She closed the door and held onto the bronze mask tightly.

"Why is the door open?"

Outside, the butler asked suspiciously.

After that, he walked in with a dark face while rummaging through the room. He had already realized that someone had entered his room.

"Who's here? Get out here right now!"

Beside the bed, the butler whispered, "If you come out now, I won't blame you."

In the quiet room, no one answered his question, causing his expression to become even more unsightly.

Bai Shiyun could see the situation outside through the cracks in the wardrobe, but she kept her eyes closed, not daring to even look.

It was because of her cowardice that the steward was unable to detect that someone was hiding in the room.

The room became extremely quiet. No one spoke, and the atmosphere inside was ice-cold.

The housekeeper carefully searched the room, checking every inch of the room.

Finally, only the closet was left unsearched.

He must be inside!

"Come out, who are you!"

As the butler spoke, he forcefully opened the door to the wardrobe.

Other than the clothes, there were also copper mask s on the clothes.

The butler squinted his eyes and slowly picked up the copper mask. Using the strength in his hands, he broke apart the mask and broke it into pieces.

"Damn it!"

He cursed in a low voice, and then the sound of footsteps could be heard as he hurried away.

"Phew …"

Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving, Bai Shiyun instinctively heaved a sigh of relief.

She curled herself into a ball and pressed it under her clothes, so that she would not be discovered.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, the wardrobe door was completely opened.

At some point, the housekeeper had stood up again, with the aim of confirming once more whether or not there was anyone inside the wardrobe.

The departure just now was just a smokescreen, to let the people in the clothes relax their vigilance.

The messy clothes looked exactly the same as before.

However, the butler didn't believe it. He insisted on taking away the clothes one by one. Even when he revealed the wooden board beneath the wardrobe, he still didn't see a single person.

There was actually no one here!

"Impossible!"

The butler shouted and continuously tossed out the clothes in the wardrobe, causing a large disturbance.

The few female servants who saw the commotion outside were also surprised, but they did not dare to disturb him.

The butler had always been such a sinister person, so it wasn't strange for him to do such a thing.

Bai Shiyun's room.

"Dong Dong Dong …"

Knocking sounds came out from the bed, and not long later, Bai Shiyun came out from under the bed in a sorry state.

Without stopping, she rushed into the bathroom, took off her dirty clothes, and used the water to wash her body.

"Eldest Miss, are you there?"

She had just entered the bathroom when she heard the housekeeper's voice from outside.

It was urgent, as if something urgent had happened.

A few minutes later, the door was opened.

Bai Shiyun's hair was dripping wet, and a white bath towel was wrapped around her body, as if she was being disturbed from her bath.

"What happened?"

Bai Shiyun frowned, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Is Eldest Miss taking a bath?"
