Bai Xiangxiang had underestimated Master Pei; as if Master Pei could be so easily deceived by a woman, he wouldn’t have reached his position today. This Bai Xiangxiang, she was simply courting death. Master Pei hated won who played mind gas the most. Fine, you play your gas, a woman with sches might be terrifying but is more suitable to stand by Master Pei’s side. Too bad her tactics are too low; full of loopholes, it turned into a joke, a joke that’s frantically scrambling around. You’d better just smoothly roll out of here yourself.
"How could that be, I clearly saw with my own eyes...." Xiao Hong wanted to say more, but Ah Ling waved her hand impatiently, "Starting today you are transferred to logistics; sister is thinking of your best interests, you’d better pack up and leave quickly." With that, Ah Ling stopped looking at Xiao Hong and walked away.
Xiao Hong:...

After Bai Xiangxiang woke up, she subconsciously rubbed her stomach, feeling a bit of pain. She cursed Yuesheng in her heart for not knowing how to be tender and caring, for being so heavy-handed.
She glanced at the ti; it was already dawn, the next morning, it seed she had stayed over at the Pei Family for the night.
Thinking back to last night’s events, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of fright. Had Pei Qinghan really believed her? She couldn’t be certain at all. Not only had she not managed to drive Yuesheng away, but she had also beco sowhat passive. The re thought of it made her feel like vomiting blood.
She always felt that this Yuesheng was like a ticking ti bomb. If she didn’t get rid of him, she wouldn’t have a mont’s peace.
Just then, Ah Ling opened the door and ca in. Seeing her awake, she said with a smile, "Breakfast is ready; after Miss Bai has eaten, a driver will be arranged to take you back."
Bai Xiangxiang, not noticing Ah Ling’s indifferent tone, asked, "Where’s Master Pei? I want to see him."
As if Master Pei is soone you can see whenever you wish, Ah Ling thought to herself but smiled on the surface, "Master Pei is busy; he left early in the morning. Before Master Pei left, he had a ssage for Miss Bai to go ho after breakfast."
In desperation, Bai Xiangxiang said, "But he promised , he said he would accompany tonight to a party at my friend’s house. I’ll give him a call...." That’s when she realized that she might not have Pei Qinghan’s phone number.
Ah Ling’s smile faded slightly, "Master Pei didn’t ntion that. Miss Bai, you should just wait at ho; if Master Pei really intends to accompany you, he will definitely send soone to pick you up."
With no other choice, Bai Xiangxiang sighed, resigning herself to the situation.
Yet, deep down, she was extrely uneasy; it seed that she had been too eager last night and now she was filled with regret.
Just as she arrived at the Bai Family Main Entrance, she saw several police cars parked at the door; her mood soured further. Had that corpse at the lake not been dealt with yet? The thought of it sickened her.
Inside the living room, Gu Chunrong was anxiously pacing back and forth. Upon seeing Bai Xiangxiang return, she hurried over, "Xiangxiang, you didn’t co back all night; I was worried to death."
"I stayed at the Pei Family’s house."
Gu Chunrong was surprised, "Then you and Mr. Pei?"
With resignation, Bai Xiangxiang said, "Don’t ntion it; Pei Qinghan didn’t lay a finger on ."
Gu Chunrong let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good."
Bai Xiangxiang asked, "There are several police cars outside the door; what, the dead person at the lake hasn’t been resolved yet?"
At the ntion of this, Gu Chunrong got irritated, "Who knows where that corpse sprang from, the forensic expert found anesthetic drugs in the dead body; they’re insistent it’s homicide. They even subpoenaed your father to the police station for questioning; such bad luck. I didn’t sleep a wink last night; how can there be such misfortune?"
Bai Xiangxiang was at a loss for words, feeling chills run down her spine just thinking about it.
Gu Chunrong continued, "These police officers have been searching the lakeside all night, saying they want to find so clues. And indeed, they found footprints which match the ti of the victim’s death, likely those of the murderer."
Clutching her mouth, Bai Xiangxiang said in disbelief, "Was it really homicide?"
"I’m not sure myself; this happening right in our own backyard is frightening."
"Who knows how long this will drag on, there’s no peace at ho, and outsiders seeing this might think the Bai Family has done sothing wrong. Can you ask Mr. Pei for help, get him to have these police officers sent away?"
With resignation, Bai Xiangxiang said, "Mr. Pei and the police are natural enemies; why would you think of asking Mr. Pei to deal with the police? Wouldn’t that be harming Mr. Pei?"
Slapping her forehead, Gu Chunrong exclaid, "Look at , getting all confused in my panic."
Feeling irritable, Bai Xiangxiang rubbed her temples and stood up to head upstairs, "I’m going to rest for a while; I still have to attend a party at the Lin Family tonight."
No sooner had Bai Xiangxiang lain down on her bed than Gu Chunrong ca knocking on her door, saying the police wanted to see her.
Swearing, Bai Xiangxiang said, "I didn’t kill anyone; why should these police officers see ? I won’t see them; tell them to get lost." Her mood was already foul, and these police officers were only making it worse by getting in her way.
