Liang Qiu was locked in another house, half an hour's drive away. Many people lived there, all robust and strong men, with unfamiliar faces.
Bai Xiao knew that these men were Ye Huang's henchmen. Besides those here, there were many, many more… too many for her to imagine.
"Don't be nervous." Ye Huang held Bai Xiao's hand, and as they passed, everyone respectfully greeted them, "Young Master Ye, Young Madam!"
Ye Huang led Bai Xiao to a door and stopped, "He's inside, do you want me to accompany you in?"
"Do you... mind?" Bai Xiao asked in a low voice, then without waiting for Ye Huang's reply, she added, "If you don't mind, I would like to talk to him alone."
Ye Huang pressed his lips together lightly and agreed, "Okay."
Bai Xiao turned the doorknob and entered. Liang Qiu was sprawled on the sofa, like a salted fish.
"Liang Qiu." Bai Xiao closed the door behind her and called out softly.
