Sensing the curiosity and confusion in his friend’s tone, Hua Yuyu explained, "His subordinate said Miss Bai is under their protection. As for the details, he wouldn’t say."
Hearing this, Lu Renyi rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "Looks like your client this ti isn’t simple at all. Brother Hua, you’d better be careful. Don’t get involved in sothing beyond your control."
Looking at Bai Hanyun, who was busy posing for the cara, Hua Yuyu calmly replied, "Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing."
Trusting his judgnt, Lu Renyi simply said, "I have a eting today with the inspector. I will call you when I find more clues about the Bai family and the Gui family."
"Alright." After ending the call, Hua Yuyu sat there, lost in deep thought.
An hour later, Bai Hanyun finally finished her photoshoot session.
After she changed out of the costu, a staff mber approached her and said, "Miss Bai, your photos will be ready in three hours. You can choose ten photos to be printed, and we will send the digital files to your email once they are ready."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun nodded.
The staff mber then motioned for her to follow and said, "Miss Bai, you can choose the photos now. Please co with ."
"Alright."
With that, Bai Hanyun spent twenty minutes selecting ten photos and then asked, "How long will it take to print these out?"
"One to two hours," the staff replied.
Bai Hanyun checked the ti on her phone, then said, "I will co back in two hours."
"Alright. We will be expecting you."
After confirming the appointnt, Bai Hanyun left the photo studio with Hua Yuyu. Since she had ti to spare, she decided to wait at a nearby coffee shop while having her late breakfast.
While waiting for their order, Bai Hanyun and Hua Yuyu sat in a quiet corner.
Seeing that there were only a few custors seated far away, Hua Yuyu said, "Miss Bai, I have sothing to tell you."
Curious, Bai Hanyun asked, "What is it?"
Hua Yuyu lowered his voice and replied, "Soone has posted a bounty on your head. That person is your father, Bai Yansheng."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, she wasn’t surprised. Jiang Yinqi had already told her about this matter before. It’s just... she never expected him to want to kill her directly.
Nodding calmly, she said, "I knew that he didn’t like , but I never expected him to hire people to kill ."
Noticing her calm reaction, Hua Yuyu paused for a mont before continuing, "Do you know that the CEO of the Yu Group, Yu Xiangyu, sent a team of bodyguards to protect you?"
This ti, Bai Hanyun raised her eyebrows slightly, a trace of interest in her voice as she asked, "CEO Yu sent people to protect ? Why?"
Hua Yuyu shook his head. "I’m not sure. Could it be because you sold antiques to his grandfather, and he was afraid that sothing would happen to you because of that?"
Thinking about Yu Tianshou and his fondness for the antiques she had sold, Bai Hanyun thought for a mont and replied, "Maybe he was afraid sothing would happen to , and he lost a channel to buy antiques for his grandfather. If they want to protect , just let them be."
After saying that, she noticed that Hua Yuyu seed to have sothing more to say but hesitated.
"Brother Hua, is there sothing else you want to tell ?"
Hua Yuyu looked at her and said, "Aside from the bodyguards sent by CEO Yu, there is another group protecting you."
Bai Hanyun chuckled and shook her head. "I never thought I’d live to see the day when so many people are secretly protecting ."
Seeing Hua Yuyu’s serious expression, she stopped laughing and asked, "Is the second group dangerous?"
Hua Yuyu shook his head. He paused for a second before saying, "No. But their reason for protecting you might be."
Bai Hanyun’s heart sank at his words. "What do you an?"
After a brief silence, Hua Yuyu replied, "They are from the Special Forces Investigation Division. I heard their top mission is related to the underground. If they dispatched a team to protect you..."
He paused, then continued in a grave tone, "Miss Bai, it’s likely you have beco a target of an underground organization."
Hearing that, Bai Hanyun felt a chill run down her spine.
Being targeted by Bai Yansheng was one thing. But being targeted by a mysterious underground organization—especially one serious enough for the Special Forces to get involved—was another level of danger.
Noticing the change in her expression, Hua Yuyu added calmly, "Don’t worry too much. I know the captain leading this mission. If he is the one in charge, you should be fine. Besides, I will keep an eye on this matter and make sure nothing dangerous will happen to you."
Although Bai Hanyun was both frightened and anxious, there was little she could do except stay vigilant and trust Hua Yuyu.
With that thought in mind, she sighed. "Understood. I will listen to you."
Just then, a waiter arrived with their order. He placed their coffee on the table and said politely, "Please enjoy your drinks."
Bai Hanyun smiled at him. "Thank you."
While Bai Hanyun sipped her coffee and contemplated her next steps, Zhan Qi was heading to the training ground to find Feng Xiyan.
Clasping his fists respectfully, Zhan Qi greeted him with a bright smile. "Great General."
Noticing Zhan Qi’s cheerful deanor, Feng Xiyan said, "It looks like General Zhan is in a good mood. Do you have good news?"
Zhan Qi grinned. "Yes, Great General. This subordinate brings good news."
"What is it?" Feng Xiyan asked with a hint of curiosity.
Zhan Qi’s smile widened. "The farmlands are ready to be planted in a few days! Right now, everyone is awaiting your instructions on how to divide them."
Feng Xiyan’s eyes lit up when he heard this. "That is indeed good news! General Zhan, have you prepared a list of those eligible to receive farmland?"
