Bai Ye in the bedroom curled herself up in a corner, constantly forcing herself to recall the moment when she fell, but she couldn't remember anything when she woke up again and again...

She was sweating profusely, but she still refused to give up.

At this moment, a cell phone ringing interrupted her——

She didn't want to answer the phone at first, but when she saw the phone number, she stood up with difficulty and answered the phone.

After the two sides were silent for a while, Bai Ye frowned and said, "Are you there?"

The other party's signal was obviously not good, so she answered her in a cheery voice, "I... here... it's not good..."

I can probably guess that the other party is saying that the signal on my side is not very good, but there is another sentence behind, so I can't hear clearly.

Bai Ye frowned excitedly, and asked again and again: "Hello!? Did you hear that! Didn't you say you found my stepmother's whereabouts?!"

But after a burst of yelling, the other party found nothing except the creaking sound, and then the signal was interrupted and the phone was hung up.

She looked at the phone eagerly and annoyed, and called over and over again.

Qin Linchen, who was on a business trip here, hesitated and decided to tell her the matter, but after several attempts to make a call, he was interrupted during the call, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Just when he was about to make another call, the assistant came over eagerly, seeing that he was on the phone, he didn't dare to speak easily.

Qin Linchen put down his mobile phone, sat on the sofa in the hotel room, and asked with an obviously distraught expression, "What happened?"

The assistant lowered his head slightly and said, "There is something wrong with the project, which may delay the completion time..."

With his cautious appearance, he was afraid of being blamed or questioned by the chairman.

Qin Linchen obviously cared more about Bai Ye's situation, so that he didn't get angry, but asked.

"Probably a few days later."

The assistant swallowed unconsciously after hearing that the inquiry would be delayed for a few days, but dared not speak for a long time.

Because this is not a matter of a few days at all, but a matter of weeks or even months, how dare he say it easily, the consequences will be disastrous, losing his job is a small thing, but losing his life is a big deal!
After a while, but still didn't hear the assistant's words, Qin Linchen frowned and raised his head slightly, staring at the guilty assistant.

Asked: "What the hell happened!? Why don't you say it?!"

The assistant was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and immediately lowered his head and said, "There is something wrong with the material, and part of it needs to be demolished and rebuilt..."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Linchen slapped the table angrily, and there was a loud "boom--".

The booster took a step back in fright.

"Take me there and handle it yourself."

After speaking, he got up and followed his assistant to the construction site to check, but the mobile phone had been forgotten in the hotel room.

Ding--

Bai Ye's mobile phone suddenly remembered the notification tone of the text message.

She clicked on the text message from her familiar mobile phone number, and what appeared on it was an address, which didn't look very close to here.

But without the slightest hesitation, she silently wrote down the address and prepared to go out after washing up.

Just at the door, Zhang Ma stopped her and asked, "Ma'am, are you going out?"

Bai Ye experienced natural expression, smiled and said: "Yes, I have an appointment with Qing Dai to go shopping, I will drive to pick her up first."

Zhang Ma nodded and reminded with a smile: "Remember to come back early, and be careful not to get cold."

She nodded, and said eagerly and perfunctorily: "I see, dinner will be eaten outside, you just prepare your own. Don't worry about me."

What else can Mama Zhang say, she can only nod her head repeatedly to remind her to pay attention to her body, then stand at the door and watch her leave the house.

Speeding all the way, Bai Ye followed the navigation to the destination.

"Turn right 300 meters ahead, pay attention to the speed limit of 60."

There was a gentle voice of a well-known movie star in the navigation, but Bai Ye was nervous and only focused on speeding up to the destination.

The navigation shows that there are still two hours to reach the destination, but now the sky is dark, and the lights on the highway are all on.

More than an hour of high-speed driving was finally over, and the rest were some bumpy mountain roads.

Bai Ye frowned slightly, wondering why her stepmother would appear in such a remote small villa when she left with a huge sum of money?

A stomach full of questions forced her to speed up eagerly again and again, wanting to see what happened as soon as possible.

More than half an hour of the mountain road was finally over, and her car heard another one called: the gate of Xinbai Mountain Villa.

The tall sign is made of wood, but it doesn't look dilapidated, but deliberately restores the appearance of wood.

Just when she was about to drive in, a black figure approached suddenly and knocked on her car window, startling her.

When dodging, she vaguely saw a familiar face under the hat, and immediately took a closer look.

"Miss Bai, it's me!"

The man lowered his voice, and tapped lightly on the glass of the car window, knocking, knocking——

Bai Ye rolled down the car window, saw the man's face clearly, and said softly, "Get in the car and talk."

The co-pilot man took off his hat and handed over a document bag.

She took the brown paper bag, opened it slowly, saw a stack of photos inside, and turned to look at the man with some doubts.The male lead motioned her to open it and continue reading, Bai Ye looked at the photos one by one, and saw the shadow of her stepmother.

Judging from the photos, the stepmother seems to be very familiar with the people in the village, and she is not unfamiliar.

The village looked very luxurious, and it was not as backward as she imagined. Only then did she realize that her stepmother had already arranged everything.And the village is obviously not the first time she has lived in it. Could it be that she also lived here before?
Seeing her doubts, the man took out another folder to her and explained: "This is the information of this village. Ten percent of this village is invested by your stepmother. And this village was remodeled later. Most people don't know the existence of this village, it seems that your stepmother prepared it in advance."

Bai Ye glanced over the information briefly, and felt a sense of proportion in her heart.

She said lightly: "If we do something in this village, there is obviously nothing we can do. We have to find a way to get her out of here!"

The man nodded, but there was a smile on his face and said: "I'm afraid this is not difficult, and the other ones must be easy."

Bai Ye didn't understand what it meant, "What does it mean? She didn't want to hide, she even built a village, how could she be let out so easily?"

The man didn't say it clearly, but just reminded her, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get in this night. It's hard work for you to stay in the car for the night. I rented a room in it. If you don't go back, I'm afraid people will think too much."
