Chapter 708: Exploring the First Patriarch’s Study

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were plenty of bodyguards in the yard of the Bai family’s fortress, making it almost impossible for Gu Juexi to sneak out. Fortunately, the shift rotated every two hours so Gu Juexi would only be on duty from 1 pm to 3 pm. This was the first time that he was on duty since he left the army.

By the time the first shift of the day started, the meeting at the main hall had already wrapped up and the report on the Bai family’s businesses had concluded that they had profited this year.

Thinking that that might be the last time the Bai family made money, Gu Juexi’s lips curved.

“I need to go to the washroom,” Gu Juexi said to the man beside him, who nodded.

Gu Juexi went to the washroom and sneaked out of the window swiftly after making sure that no one was watching.

The place where the first patriarch stayed was not far from the main hall and Gu Juexi was confident that he could make it back to his post in an hour.

Gu Juexi relied on the ugly map that Nalan Chunbo had drawn and quickly found the first patriarch’s place. Since it was the annual meeting of the Bai family, not many people were around it.

Gu Juexi walked to the back of the premises, climbed over the wall and got inside through a window on the second floor. His movements were so fast that no one had noticed him sneaking into the premises, not even the ones playing poker there.

Nalan Chunbo reminded Gu Juexi that there were security cameras in the first patriarch’s study so instead of going directly into the study, Gu Juexi found the bathroom attached to it and climbed in through the window. He hid in the bathroom and opened a page on his smartwatch. There were some numbers and codes running on the screen and Gu Juexi exited the bathroom when the numbers stopped appearing.

The study was not spacious but there were too many things for Gu Juexi to search individually, so Gu Juexi targeted the first patriarch’s desk.

He saw a black and white photo of four men on the desk and picked it up curiously. The man in the middle was wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Despite his beautiful face, he emanated the strongest aura among them.

It was not hard to guess that the man was the grandfather of Ye Yuwei, the father of Bai Ying and the founder of the Bai family.

Gu Juexi put down the photo frame. Who would have thought that such an elegant man had founded and expanded the Bai family?

Since he was running out of time, Gu Juexi continued to search without thinking too much about Ye Yuwei’s legendary grandfather.

Unfortunately, the distribution map wasn’t on the first patriarch’s desk. There wasn’t even anything related to the Bai family’s base on it.

From the earpiece, Gu Juexi could hear someone reporting about the base, especially about the arms trades that the Bai family was running. Since the first patriarch had long since stopped the illegal businesses, the arms trades were all handled by the third patriarch.

Gu Juexi was listening to what was going on in the main hall and quickly left the study when he heard footsteps approaching. He rushed into the bathroom just as he heard a few people talking outside.

“Tam, Jack, standby at the landing apron. The first patriarch ordered the two of you to watch over the young miss,” commanded a man who appeared to be quite close to the first patriarch.

“Is it the real heir this time?” Jack asked doubtfully.

“That is not our concern. The first patriarch said that her safety is our topmost priority. There are many who have come for the annual meeting today so make sure no one takes advantage of the crowd and hurts the young miss.”

Gu Juexi left the bathroom as soon as the voices faded. Knowing that Ye Yuwei’s safety was the Bai family’s topmost priority, Gu Juexi heaved a sigh of relief.

Still, that was no excuse for him to not punish that disobedient woman for not listening to him and showing up here in the first place.
