However, before going out to collect the antiques and the other supplies, Bai iyue wanted to go downstairs and bring a few packages that she had not taken upstairs with her yesterday. Since she couldn't bring everything in her space pocket as it would cause others to look at her with suspicion—thus, she left a few packages downstairs.
Just as she stepped out down the stairs, she ran into Zhou Hongbei and Shen Zhen. The two of them were running out of the penthouse but stopped when Shen Zhen paused and turned to look at Bai iyue. She arched a brow and asked, "Where do you think you are going?"
She was worried that Bai iyue would run out of the penthouse without her, and her doctor in charge, Shen Zhen, couldn't help but feel worried. Among all the patients that she had taken under care, Bai iyue was the only one who made her this worried.
She knew that Bai iyue was a rather impulsive woman. She might sneak out of the penthouse when she was not paying attention. Look at this; wasn't she right to think so?
When Bai iyue saw the suspicious look in Shen Zhen's eyes, she was so amused that she couldn't help but chuckle. Bai iyue said to Shen Zhen, "There is no need to look at like that; I assure you that I had no intention of running out of the house alone."
"Then where are you going?" Shen Zhen asked with a frown.
"I was heading down to the garage," replied Bai iyue with a calm voice. She then said to Shen Zhen, "Because we ended up getting entangled in trouble as soon as we returned, I forgot that there were a few more items that I needed to bring back with . What about you two?"
Zhou Hongbei smiled at her and replied, "It's the sa for us. Last night we were too tired and only brought the necessary things. The rest of the things were left in the SUV. We are going there to bring them with us."
The three of them stepped out of the penthouse and headed downstairs. Though the apartnt building was still the sa, it had long separated into two factions. One side belonged to Bai iyue and Lei Qian, while the other one belonged to the Bai family and Bai Xue.
Thus, Bai iyue was not even surprised when she saw soone standing near her SUV, trying to take a peek inside.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Bai iyue called out to the man who was trying to pry open the door of the SUV. Her eyes flashed with annoyance when she saw that soone from Bai Xue's side was actually trying to break into her car.
It seed like she needed to ask Yang Chunhua to build a mud wall to separate the two halves of the parking lot as well.
When the man heard her voice, he froze and turned around to run away.
Bai iyue didn't chase after the man, as she didn't want to cause trouble first thing in the morning.
Zhou Hongbei on the other hand frowned and said, "These people have turned more and more lawless. They have resorted to stealing."
Bai iyue pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Zhou Hongbei had no idea that stealing was the least of the worst things that others could do—compared to killing others, stealing was still better than the rest.
"Let's grab what we ca for," Shen Zhen frowned. She really didn't want to stay downstairs alone. The three of them were alone and the two of them were not ability users. If that man ca back to cause trouble, then they would beco a burden on Bai iyue who was a pregnant woman.
Bai iyue and Zhou Hongbei agreed.
As Zhou Hongbei had brought a trolley with him, Bai iyue and Shen Zhen only needed to fill it up while Zhou Hongbei was responsible for carrying it all upstairs. While Zhou Hongbei was working hard, Bai iyue was looking around in the garage.
She noticed that small bushes that were planted outside the parking lot had started to show signs of mutations. She noticed the bushes fluttering as if sothing was moving inside them but Bai iyue knew that there was nothing inside the bushes.
She watched as an overly large mosquito ca fluttering and sat down on one of the bushes. The wings of the mosquito gently touched the leaf of the bush, which elongated and covered the mosquito completely and soon the leaves created a mummy out of the insect and when they retracted, the mosquito was gone.
Bai iyue was not even surprised as she knew that after the animals, it was the plants and the vegetation around the city that would slowly start to change.
In her past life, the plants started to mutate around this ti as well. Not only did they beco resistant to hot and cold weather, they also developed many defensive abilities.
Bai iyue stepped closer to the bush. She crouched down and picked up a stone from the pavent, which she threw down in the bush. Just like before, the leaves stretched out and wrapped themselves around the small pebble. She had no idea what kind of defensive ability this small plant had, but the second the leaves unwrapped themselves, the pebble that Bai iyue threw down within the bush disappeared.
Seeing this, Bai iyue's eyes lit up. Though she had various ans to teach Bai Xue, who kept hopping around her, a lesson, Bai iyue thought that there was a need for an elent of surprise. That woman seed to have gotten smarter and no longer approached her electric gate.
Thus, Bai iyue could not get the sadistic pleasure of making that woman suffer.
Thinking about the fun that she could have with Bai Xue if she were to bring this bush and put it in a pot, Bai iyue's lips curled up, and she turned to look at Zhou Hongbei to bring back the bush to the apartnt.
"How can this happen?"
