Chapter 813 The Man Whose Face She Couldn’t See Clearly
"Don't talk. It's me."
When Lu Qingyou recognized the voice, she called out softly, "Yeqi?"
Bai Yeqi loosened his grip on her slightly, whispering, "Someone who has possibly come for us has entered this hotel. I've already contacted the police, but just in case, we need to escape through the window."
Lu Qingyou's mind, which was still a bit muddled, suddenly cleared up.
Shuddering, she quickly put on her coat.
Because of the recent situation, she only took off her coat when she slept and didn't even change into pajamas. This made it convenient so that she could run away easily in case of emergencies.
Bai Yeqi took out a rope from somewhere and tied it securely before letting Lu Qingyou go down first.
This place was on the third floor. Even though Lu Qingyou was a bit scared, she didn't want to hold Bai Yeqi back. And so, she gritted her teeth and went down the rope.
Seeing how obedient Lu Qingyou was, Bai Yeqi felt relieved.
When she landed, her legs were still trembling.
After Bai Yeqi also came down, he pulled her into a nearby convenience store and ordered a cup of
coffee for each of them.
As the two sat side by side in the supermarket, sipping their coffee, they could see several police cars parked outside the hotel across the street.
Lu Qingyou turned to look at Bai Yeqi and saw that he was just focused on watching the opposite side, without any intention of going over to meet the police.
The police got out of the car and ran upstairs. Not long after, a few people ran out from inside.
Those people were fully armed and wrapped up tightly from head to toe, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. Also, they were running away at top speed.
The person at the back who was a bit slower ended up being caught by the police. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
One of the police officers stood in front of the car and looked around before taking out his phone to make a call.
Then, Lu Qingyou heard Bai Yeqi's phone ringing.
"Is he calling you?" Lu Qingyou curiously asked Bai Yeqi.
"Yes."
Bai Yeqi responded indifferently. After a slight pause, he answered the call.
Lu Qingyou didn't know what the police officer said to Bai Yeqi, but she heard Bai Yeqi say into the phone, "We are safe now. Let's meet at another place tomorrow. Okay. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, he stood up and said to Lu Qingyou, "Let's go."
The two then found a hotel to stay for the night before they went to the police station the next day.
They were welcomed by a man in his 30s who spoke with authority.
"Mr. Bai."
"Officer Fang."
After Bai Yeqi greeted Officer Fang, Officer Fang's gaze fell on Lu Qingyou. "And who is this?" he asked.
"My sister. She threw a tantrum at home and followed me here."
Bai Yeqi answered casually without even introducing Lu Qingyou to Officer Fang, making it clear that he wouldn't reveal Lu Qingyou's identity.
However, the police knew that someone who would follow Bai Yeqi was definitely not ordinary.
"Please, come in and talk."
Fortunately, Officer Fang wasn't a nosy person. He led them into his office.
Officer Fang poured water for both of them and sat down. "Last night's event was unexpected. We were negligent. Are you both okay?"
"We're fine, but you might need to thoroughly investigate your subordinates, Officer Fang. I'm not a military person, and no one knew when I came here. After arriving in Jingcheng City, besides meeting you, I kept my whereabouts secret. Being attacked in the middle of the night couldn't have been the Ninth Lord's doing. It's highly likely that there is a mole on your side who knew about my meeting with you, and the Ninth Lord's men guessed my identity, which is why they chose to attack at night."
Bai Yeqi had already thought about this issue while he was drinking coffee with Lu Qingyou at the supermarket last night.
He had been cautious during the short time he was here. The Ninth Lord and his men had just been chased by Bai Yunan, so they would definitely focus on the police station and the support sent from Jingcheng City. They wouldn't have their eyes on him.
He had also talked to Bai Mingxu on the phone a couple of days ago, and there would be a support team coming later.
Officer Fang's expression turned grim after he heard Bai Yeqi's words. He pursed his lips and awkwardly replied, "Alright, I will thoroughly investigate my people. Where are you both staying now?"
"Don't worry, Officer Fang. We have our own place."
Lu Qingyou looked at Bai Yeqi in surprise. At first, his words seemed polite, but upon closer consideration, it was clear that he had his guard up against Officer Fang.
Both of them were pretending to be clueless, and Officer Fang pretended not to notice. He even politely saw them off.
The place Bai Yeqi found this time was a high-end apartment.
As soon as Lu Qingyou entered, she asked him, "Don't you trust Officer Fang?"
"It's not that." Bai Yeqi closed the door and walked inside while saying, "Officer Fang is a responsible police officer, but the Ninth Lord's men are already familiar with him. I'm sure the police are closely monitoring the Ninth Lord. If we live in the accommodation arranged by Officer Fang, those people will definitely find us quickly."
Lu Qingyou nodded in confusion. "Then... When will we see Yunan?"
Bai Yeqi paused and remained silent for a while. "That depends on when he takes the initiative to come to us."
Lu Qingyou looked at him in astonishment. "Really?"
However, Bai Yeqi only wore an inscrutable expression on his face and didn't say anything more.
...
Bai Yeqi went out early the next morning.
There was a supermarket in the neighborhood where Lu Qingyou could buy daily necessities and groceries, so she didn't need to leave the community.
At 10 in the morning., she went downstairs to the supermarket to buy things.
She ended up buying too many items, and it was a bit difficult for her to carry them.
A tall figure slowly approached from not far away. When he reached behind Lu Qingyou, he asked in a deep voice, "Miss, do you need help?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Qingyou froze, quickly turned her head, and saw a man in a janitor's uniform. The hat and mask he had on made it impossible for her to see his face clearly.
"Yu—" She started to say this word but quickly changed her words. "Please do."
After the man took the things from her hands, he kept a distance of one step from her and followed behind her.
They met neighbors from the same floor at the elevator. The moment the neighbors saw the "janitor" behind her, they chatted curiously, "When did we have such a tall male janitor in our community?"
"I don't know. Judging by his clothes, he doesn't seem to be from our community..."
"How tall. You don't see tall men like him here often."
"Maybe he's from out of town."
As the voices of the two women gradually faded away, Lu Qingyou looked at the man with some worry.
In return, the man gave her a reassuring look.
Once they entered the apartment, she closed the door and reached out to remove the man's mask. Under the mask was an incredibly familiar face.
Lu Qingyou's eyes immediately turned red, and she pouted as she called out, "Yunan…" She then reached out to hug him.
But Bai Yunan dodged her.
He looked at Lu Qingyou with a cold expression. "Why did you come here?"
He received the news that Bai Yeqi had come, but he didn't expect Lu Qingyou to come along as well. This was ridiculous!
