“You should take a rest for a while.”

Unable to wait for people from Bei Tianyou’s side, Baili Xia turned to look at Guisu, her gaze gentle.

“We still don’t know what’s going to happen. If we have to run again, you need your strength.”

This time, Guisu finally lay down on the bed obediently after nodding slightly.

Only those eyes were still fixed on her without blinking.

“If you don’t close your eyes and sleep for a bit, I’m going to leave.”

Staring at her all the time, it’s not like she had golden wings growing on her.

Besides, it wasn’t even a look of admiration, who knows what this guy was thinking.

Guisu took another deep look at her before he slowly closed his eyes.

Baili Xia thought he would have to toss and turn for a while before he could sleep.

Unexpectedly, he just closed his eyes for less than five minutes, and his breathing became even.

He truly was exhausted, plus he had lost too much blood, he was actually very weak now.

It’s just that this guy looks tough and doesn’t want to show his vulnerability in front of others.

Baili Xia stayed by his side, looking down at him.

It was then that she really had the chance to take a close look at his face.

This face, although handsome, was completely different from Mu Xiaojiu’s and Bei Tianyou’s.

This was another kind of handsome, a face full of resoluteness and hardship.

High cheekbones, a strong nose, thick eyebrows like swords, and lips thick with a hint of darkness, all exuding a tough-guy aura.

Why would such a tough guy cry just now?

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.

Just as she was thinking, suddenly, there was a slight sound of movement from the wardrobe outside the door.

Guisu’s eyes flashed open, and he sat up from the bed.

Baili Xia didn’t expect his sleep to be so light, such a small sound woke him up.

“It should be Mrs. Chen.” Baili Xia said softly to reassure him.

Indeed, after the door was knocked three times, it immediately opened, and Mrs.

Chen walked in.

However, this time she was obviously a little nervous.

As soon as she saw them, Mrs.

Chen said, “Someone is searching house to house, they are probably looking for you.”

“Stay here, do not make any noise, no matter what you hear, don’t go out casually, I can handle it.”

She was just coming to inform them, to prevent them from hearing any commotion and thinking it was Mr.

Bei’s men, and running out on their own.

After saying this, Mrs.

Chen was about to leave.

Baili Xia quickly stopped her and whispered, “Wait, Mrs. Chen. We can’t hide here any longer, sooner or later they will search here and you might get involved.”

Mrs.

Chen retorted, “I’m not afraid of getting involved by you, just stay here, as long as you hold out until Mr. Bei sends someone.”

She didn’t stay any longer and left, closing the door behind her.

Baili Xia watched Mrs.

Chen’s back, her mind overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

She knew, that as soon as they left this house, they might be found quickly.

But if they didn’t leave, Mrs.

Chen would be taking a huge risk.

All because of seeds sown carelessly in the past, leading to today’s consequence.

Mrs.

Chen was not afraid to fight with bad people for her sake, but what if it inadvertently involved innocent people…

“Guisu, what should we do?”

Without any idea in her mind, Baili Xia looked at Guisu.

Guisu didn’t respond immediately, he walked to the wall.

There was a hidden window there, actually, it was for escape.

Opening a tiny bit of the curtain by the window, Guisu looked outside.

The outside was still calm, but both people in the room knew that great danger was lurking beneath the calm surface.
