C773 Grice's Fish Slipped Through the Net
Bai Jingshu turned his eyes away and said, "Not bad. "
"I watched Qingying that child grow up too. She was very likable when she was young. I envy Old Lu's family for having such an obedient granddaughter. At that time, there were so many brats in the quad who liked her. They were all looking at her like a tiger watching its prey. I just wanted her to be my daughter-in-law, so I booked her first. As your father's wife, I also know that Ming Xu doesn't have any feelings for Qingying. But Qingying is likable. It has been a long time. The two of them will definitely have feelings. . . "
Speaking up to this point, old master Bai sighed, "What a pity, fate is playing tricks on people. "
"Two days ago, I dreamt of Old Lu. I have let him down. . . "
The Old Lu that the old man mentioned was Luh Qingying's father, Bai Jingshu's grandfather. He had passed away many years ago.
Hearing his words, There was no sadness on Bai Jingshu's face, nor was there sadness.
What happened in the past had already happened. He was very satisfied now. His mother was also living a good life now, so there was no need for him to immerse himself in what happened in the past.
Old master Bai rambled on and on, while Bai Jingshu remained silent.
Finally, he said, "I have let down Old Lu. I have also let down your mother. Your father is also a b * stard. "
"It's all in the past. " Bai Jingshu said these words plainly and then cast himself aside.
Ann Xia had already brought the water over.
Both of them turned to look at Ann Xia, making her feel a little confused. She did not know what they had said in the room.
After feeding old master Bai some water, Bai Jingshu prepared to leave with Ann Xia.
The old man wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Bai Jingshu knew what the old man wanted to say. He wanted to see Luh Qingying. They had not met for many years.
However, Luh Qingying was doing very well now. It was best not to disturb each other.
They did not see Mrs Liu in the hall, so they could only go out.
When they walked to the door of the courtyard, Mrs Liu's voice sounded from behind.
"Third Young Master, I will bring something for you to take away. Wait a moment. "
Ann Xia wanted to say that there was no need, but Bai Jingshu said, "I'll go and get it. Wait for me here. "
Mrs Liu was old. After all, it was just a small token of her appreciation.
Ann Xia could only nod her head.
She watched Bai Jingshu follow Mrs Liu into the hall and habitually lowered her head to take a look at her phone from her bag. Unexpectedly, the moment she lowered her head, the recoil suddenly hurt. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. Her vision went black and she lost consciousness.
. . .
What Mrs Liu wanted Bai Jingshu to take was not anything special. It was just a bit of brine and pickled vegetables.
He had a good appetite and was not picky about food. He did not really like or hate these things, but Ann Xia liked them.
He took the big bag and small bag and said with a smile, "I thank Mrs Liu on Ann Xia's behalf. "
"Why are you saying all these? We are family. You guys, come back more often when you have time. I am also old now and I don't know how many more years I can live. . . " Mrs Liu said as tears welled up in her eyes.
Mrs Liu's husband was a soldier under old master Bai. Later, he died on duty. Old master Bai naturally cherished his own soldier and asked someone to take care of Mrs Liu.
However, Mrs Liu was a stubborn person, and she was very conservative. She never married. She lived alone in her hometown in the countryside. Old master Bai pitied her and let her work in the Bai family. After that, she had been taking care of everyone's daily life.
She seemed to have become weak when she was old.
Bai Jingshu comforted her a little, then turned around and left.
He walked out of the hall and saw that there was no one at the door of the courtyard from afar.
He frowned. Where did this girl go?
However, when he walked to the entrance and saw the fallen guard, his heart sank to the bottom.
He threw away the things in his hands and walked over to pinch the guard. The guard gradually woke up. Bai Jingshu asked with a solemn face. He asked, "Where is Ann Xia? She was just here. Where did she go?"
"Miss Ann?" The guard reacted quickly. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly jumped up from the ground. "She must have been taken away. Someone knocked me out just now. "
Bai Jingshu's entire body stiffened. His facial expression changed abruptly, and he looked exceptionally scary.
The guard reminded him, "Third Young Master, ordinary people can't enter the courtyard. To be able to come in here, there must be someone familiar with this place. I think we need to tell Major General Bai about this first. He can help. "
Bai Jingshu nodded. He walked quickly into the house and called Bai Yu'nan as he walked.
It was his secretary who answered the call.
He was calling Bai Yu'nan's private number. The secretary knew that he could not be slow. He said respectfully, "Major General Bai is in a meeting. I will help you convey the message. "
"No need to convey the message. Ask him to answer the phone. I have something urgent to attend to!" Bai Jingshu grabbed his hair in annoyance. He was about to get angry.
The secretary was in a difficult position, but after thinking about it, he still went to find Bai Yu'nan.
Bai Yu'nan was in a meeting. He was still a little depressed after being disturbed, but when he saw that it was a private phone, he immediately became serious.
Without waiting for the secretary to speak, he took the phone and walked out.
"Jingshu?"
"Ann Xia is gone. She is at the entrance of the Bai family's courtyard. When I went back to my room to get something, she was gone. The guard was also knocked out. She. . . "
Before he could say anything, Bai Yu'nan said, "Don't worry. I will send someone to find her immediately. I will come back now. "
Bai Jingshu was silent for a while and said, "Okay, thank you. "
Bai Yu'nan did not respond. He hung up the phone and strode out of the office. He went to the parking lot to drive home.
On the way back, Bai Yu'nan followed the clues Bai Jingshu mentioned and explained the situation.
The conclusion he came to was that Ann Xia was arrested at the entrance of the Bai family's courtyard.
This simple and crude conclusion allowed him to obtain a lot of information.
For example, this must have been a premeditated plan for a long time, and there must be someone familiar waiting for her. Otherwise, how could someone sneak in so easily in the heavily guarded military compound? Moreover, the target was precisely the entrance of the Bai family's compound to capture someone.
He then thought of the information he had recently obtained. There was a group of people who had yet to be caught, and they were looking for him everywhere, wanting to take revenge.
He even felt that the ones who had captured Ann Xia were this group of people.
When he returned to Bai family, he saw Bai Jingshu pacing back and forth in the hall, looking incomparably anxious.
Once he entered, Bai Jingshu welcomed him. "Big brother, do you have any news?"
"No definite news, but. . . " Bai Yu'nan looked at Bai Jingshu's tensed face and could not bear to tell him what he had guessed.
Bai Jingshu's hands, which were hanging by his side, unconsciously clenched. His voice was slightly shaky. He trembled, "But what?"0
Bai Yu'nan took a deep breath and took off his hat. He then said, "Recently, there has been a group of people who escaped from the net to find out about me. They want to take revenge. If my guess is correct, they are the ones who took Ann Xia away. "
