"Forget it, Su Mo," Sang Li pulled Su Mo back.
The door was closed, and Su Mo couldn't help but retort, "What's going on here? Something is definitely wrong!"
"I have a bad feeling and am very worried about Xiao Han and Miaomiao's safety."
Su Mo anxiously said, "Ah? What should we do then? Should I rush out?"
Sang Li said helplessly, "Do you think this is a good method?"
"Then what should we do? I'm extremely anxious now. I feel Xiao Han and Miaomiao must be at the Bai's house! This Bai Yunhan looks gentle and refined, but actually deceived us!"
"I'm thinking, could Xiao Han and Miaomiao be related to Old Master Bai's death? That's why Bai Yunhan is keeping it from us."
"That's nonsense. How could those two delicate girls possibly be involved in Old Master Bai's death?"
"But they don't believe us. They were already suspicious of our origins. If our story doesn't match Xiao Han and theirs, they will undoubtedly be suspicious."
"Ah, this is so annoying!" Su Mo paced back and forth anxiously.
......
Although Bai Yunhan didn't let them go out, she took good care of them and brought them meals on time.
At night, she even had the maid bring desserts.
Sang Li looked at the elegant desserts on the table, picked one up and sniffed it - osmanthus cake?
Sang Li's mind turned, and she leaned over and whispered a few words to Su Mo.
Su Mo looked at her worriedly, "Can we really do that? What if something happens?"
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
......
After a while, Su Mo anxiously opened the door, seeming a bit agitated.
"What exactly do you want to do? My friend just ate the dessert you brought and fainted! Did you poison it?"
The two guards outside immediately looked inside the room and saw Sang Li slumped over the table with a ghastly pale face and lips.
"Go notify the young master immediately!" One of the guards said at once.
"No, I have to go out and find a doctor right away. If anything happens to my friend, I won't let you off easily!"
Su Mo immediately stepped out of the door, and the other guard stopped her, "Miss, after we report to the young master, a doctor will be invited!"
"By the time you report this and that, my friend may already be dead! Let me go, I'm going to find a doctor myself!"
The guard grasped the hilt of his sword, blocking Su Mo's path, "Miss, if you insist on going out, I won't be polite!"
"Humph, so this is how the Bai family treats its guests?" Su Mo was not afraid of him at all and attacked him barehandedly. After exchanging a few moves, she floored the guard and immediately ran out.
......
In the woodshed.
Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao were huddled together, preparing to find a comfortable position to sleep in.
At the door, sparse noises suddenly came, and the two were startled awake.
They looked at each other, and Xiao Han immediately went to the door and listened to the movement outside, but heard the sound of unlocking.
Xiao Han was overjoyed, "Miaomiao, it seems someone has come to let us out!"
Just as she finished speaking, the door opened, and a masked man in black appeared before Xiao Han.
"Ah!" Xiao Han was so frightened that she took a few steps back and said warily, "Who are you?"
The man in black did not speak, walked in, hooked the door closed with his foot.
Xia Miaomiao immediately ran over and grabbed Xiao Han's arm.
The man in black slowly approached them as they retreated again and again.
"You... Who are you? What do you want?" Xiao Han immediately grabbed a wooden stick next to her to defend against the man in black.
The man in black remained silent. With a flick of his hand, a sharp wire appeared.
Xiao Han was shocked. A scene suddenly came to her mind.
When she and Xia Miaomiao first fell from the sky, she saw a shadowy figure run away. Now seeing this man in black with a wire in his hand, she seemed to suddenly understand something.
"You... you killed Old Master Bai!" Xiao Han said in astonishment.
The man in black's eyes condensed, and he reached out to strangle Xiao Han's neck.
"Ah!" Xiao Han immediately squatted down and hugged the man's legs, "Miaomiao, run! Go out and call for help! This man is Old Master Bai's murderer!"
As soon as Xia Miaomiao heard this, she immediately fled out.
The man in black wanted to pursue her but was firmly hugged around the legs by Xiao Han. He immediately took out a dagger from his waist, about to stab Xiao Han's back.
"Oh my god!" Xiao Han was so frightened that she immediately let go of him and rolled to the side. The dagger tore her clothes on her back, leaving a thin bloody gash.
Xiao Han was so scared that she touched her back, shocked and trembling, "Phew... I'm alive."
If she had known this would happen, she should have properly learned some self-defense from Su Mo! Wuu wuu...
She immediately grabbed the nearby wooden stick and swung it wildly like Sun Wukong's magical staff. "Let me tell you, I'm very powerful. Don't come over!"
Just as she finished speaking, the wooden stick slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Xiao Han immediately froze in place.
Just as the dagger was about to stab her face, a dagger flew in through the door. Sensing something, the man in black dodged to the side with a swoosh, and the dagger pierced the wooden pillar next to him.
Su Mo dressed in red rushed in through the door, leaped forward, and kicked out. The man blocked, but was kicked stumbling back by Su Mo, nearly falling to the ground.
The man's eyes condensed, and he immediately fled outside, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Xiao Han, are you okay?" Su Mo and Xia Miaomiao ran over to check on Xiao Han.
Only then did Xiao Han open one eye to see Su Mo and Xia Miaomiao's concerned gazes falling on her.
"Ahhhhh!" Xiao Han immediately hugged them both, "I thought I was going to die today! That was so thrilling!"
"..."
Su Mo pushed her away, "Let me see if you're injured!"
"My back seems to be injured!"
Xia Miaomiao turned her around and saw that her clothes were slashed, revealing a thin bloody gash on her back. Although it was just a shallow cut, Xia Miaomiao's eyes reddened.
"Xiao Han, I'm sorry..."
"Oh don't cry! I'm fine, aren't I? Just a minor wound, I'm thankful to be alive!"
Su Mo put her arm around them, "Thank goodness we finally found you! Sister Li and I were so worried!"
"We were worried about you too."
Xiao Han looked at Su Mo, "Su Mo, are you and Sister Li okay? Are you at the Bai's too?"
"Mm, I happened to run into Miaomiao just in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable." Su Mo still felt chills down her spine thinking back to the situation earlier, "Why were you locked in the woodshed?"
"When we first crossed over, we discovered Old Master Bai's corpse. They suspected we killed Old Master Bai." Xia Miaomiao said aggrievedly.
"What? Are they out of their minds?" Su Mo took them along, retrieved the dagger from the pillar, "I'll take you away from here."
Just as the three of them left the woodshed, they saw Bai Yunhan in mourning clothes approaching, followed by a group of guards.
