"Put this book under the pillow for ." Bai Huanyu picked up the thread-bound edition of The Book of Changes from the table and handed it over.
Bai Tieniu took the book, agreed, but secretly thought about taking this opportunity to read it thoroughly.
The two walked side by side towards the door, Bai Huanyu instructed, "After I leave, keep a close eye on the hospital, notify imdiately if there's anything."
"Yes!" Bai Tieniu answered.
He watched Bai Huanyu get into the car before turning back inside.
He looked around, impatiently opened the thread-bound book, but after a few sentences, his brows furrowed deeply.
It wasn't that he uncovered so hidden mystery in the book, but rather he didn't understand a word of it.
Just the beginning words "Yuán, Hēng, Lì, Zhēn" confused him.
Bai Tieniu closed the book, decided to find a modern version online first, starting with the basics and then advancing to the difficult.
...
Inside the car, Bai Huanyu took out his phone intending to inquire about the opening ceremony, thinking it might already be chaotic.
If it was, that would be good, if not, he could proceed with the next plan.
However, at that mont, the vehicle gradually ca to a halt.
"What's going on?" Bai Huanyu frowned and asked.
"Looks like a traffic jam ahead," the driver replied.
"Traffic jam?" Bai Huanyu suddenly felt uneasy, quickly said, "Back up and take a detour."
The driver followed the instructions, but when he put it in reverse gear, the rear-view image showed a car blocking the way; he could only turn back and say, "Can't back up, there's a car behind."
Just then, the window beside them was knocked on.
When the driver rolled down the window, his eyes widened instantly.
Standing outside was a woman with shoulder-length short hair, her appearance stunningly beautiful, features ticulously crafted as if by a skilled artisan, even surpassing movie stars.
"Hello!" The woman greeted with a gentle smile.
The driver finally reacted, "Uh... cough, do you need sothing?"
The woman appeared embarrassed, saying, "I just got my driving license, it's too tight upfront, I can't gauge the car's distance. Could you help drive it past?"
After speaking, as if afraid of being turned down, she added, "Not far, at most a hundred ters."
"No problem..." The driver thoughtlessly almost agreed.
With such a beauty asking a favor, not to ntion a hundred ters, even a thousand ters, ten thousand ters would be no problem.
However, he stopped himself before the word "problem" ca out, turned to Bai Huanyu for approval, "What do you think?"
Bai Huanyu said in a muffled voice, "Quickly go and return."
The driver bead with joy, agreed, unfastened the seatbelt, opened the door, and went out.
Bai Huanyu leaned forward, observing the woman through the windshield, noticing her clothes were peculiar, especially the extra-wide sleeves, resembling traditional Chinese garnts.
But except for the sleeves, the rest didn't differ much from common clothes.
He contemplated for a mont, deciding it wasn't so fashion trend.
As he deliberated, a rough voice ca from outside through the passenger window that had been lowered, "What are you doing! Not following the car in front, blocking the way, what's going on?"
Bai Huanyu's heart tightened, he put his hand in his pocket, gripping the spray, rotated it, ensured the nozzle was pointing right, then placed his finger on the top of the spray.
Shortly after, a man with a hideous scar appeared at the window, not bothering to greet, reached inside, and opened the car door from the outside.
This person, naturally, was Lone Wolf.
And the woman who prompted Bai Huanyu's suspicion earlier was undoubtedly Xue Nuofu.
"Let help you drive the car forward a bit, otherwise..."
"Ssss!"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Huanyu had already fearlessly taken out the spray, aid at Lone Wolf who had half his body inside the car, and sprayed wildly.
For his age, it's impressive he could act so swiftly.
Unfortunately, compared to a strong and youthful Lone Wolf, the gap was too large.
As Bai Huanyu took out the spray, Lone Wolf retreated outside.
The spray missed, Bai Huanyu nervously looked around, seeing no one outside, but couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
As he contemplated an escape, a hot wind blew in through the air vent, carrying a slightly pungent sll.
Bai Huanyu's eyes saw stars, as if blinded by strong light in the dead of night, followed by dizziness.
He glanced at the air vent next to the central control, then at the spray in his hand, realizing that the air conditioning had blown so of the spray back onto his face.
Unfortunately, realization ca too late...
Two minutes later, Xue Nuofu returned and asked, "How is it?"
Lone Wolf chuckled, "This old fellow managed to knock himself out."
"Where's his phone?"
"Here it is!"
Lone Wolf handed Bai Huanyu's phone over.
Xue Nuofu took it, imdiately handed it to Lv Ziming who was on a motorcycle nearby.
"Vroom... vroom..."
Lv Ziming twisted the throttle twice, two jets of black smoke spurting from the exhaust.
He put on his helt, slipped the phone into his pocket, and rode away.
Lone Wolf watched him go, clicking his tongue, "Didn't expect old Lv could ride a motorcycle this well at his age!"
"Stop wasting ti!" Xue Nuofu said seriously, "Drive Bai Huanyu's car, and don't let him step out before the ceremony ends."
"Understood!" Lone Wolf agreed, got into the car, and started the engine.
...
Ten minutes later, Lv Ziming sped to the opening ceremony site and handed the phone to Xiao Feng, "Boss, the item you wanted."
Xiao Feng nodded, called over Lu Yao, and said, "Proceed according to the original plan."
Just after he finished speaking, the host's voice ca through the speakers: "Next up is the flagship product from our Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon.
Let's welco Miss Mu Shihan in 'Cupid's Love' to the stage!"
The young girl who had been waiting backstage appeared on stage with the music.
Her hand resting on her waist, every step perfectly tid with the beat, her exquisite face and developing golden ratio figure instantly ignited cheers across the venue.
Alongside the host's comntary, the young girl posed in one position after another, showing no signs of stage fright.
Backstage, Lu Yao took out a data cable, connected Bai Huanyu's phone, her ten slender white fingers swiftly typing on the keyboard.
"Cracking the password in a short ti isn't realistic, today's manufacturers are serious about system UI protection, but there's no need to crack the password. As long as we can access his phonebook and the numbers he's contacted in the past half month, it's enough."
Lu Yao said as she operated quickly.
Xiao Feng didn't interrupt, leaving professional tasks to professionals.
If he couldn't assist, his only role was to perform his duties without causing additional trouble.
In this regard, Xiao Feng always had a clear mind.
