Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Don’t Set Your Sights on His Daughter

In the afternoon, Bai Haoxue took Bai Xiang to their old home.

To make it seem less deliberate, Bai Haoxue brought along seven or eight bodyguards.

In order to prevent Lan Sizhan from suddenly changing his mind and taking Bai Haoxue away, Bai Xiang specifically had Li Mingmo accompany them.

With Li Mingmo escorting them and S City being their territory, Lan Sizhan wouldn’t risk taking Bai Haoxue along with Bai Xiang.

Having Li Mingmo with them was also Bai Xiang’s way of showing Lan Sizhan that he was willing to go with him, but not to target his daughter.

The Bai Family villa had been remodeled by Bai Haoxue to resemble their old home.

During the renovation, Bai Haoxue visited a few times, but never stayed long.

What’s the point of restoring it to the original state? Mom is gone, and Dad is gone.

Every visit was just a reminder of the past...

But this time, bringing Bai Xiang back here, Bai Haoxue felt much better, at least she wasn’t alone.

Bai Haoxue pushed Bai Xiang into the house, "Dad, look, it’s exactly like our old home."

"Yes, exactly the same..." After four years, returning to his home, Bai Xiang was filled with emotion.

Home is the most special place for everyone.

Li Mingmo said, "I just took a look around, and there are a few people acting suspiciously not far away; they should be the ones Lan Sizhan sent to get you."

Those people seemed to be smoking, drinking, and playing cards, but their eyes kept glancing towards the villa, quite obviously.

Bai Xiang said, "Then we need to create an opportunity for them."

Li Mingmo nodded, and Bai Haoxue said, "Dad, let’s make a meal here. I’ll send two of the bodyguards I brought to buy groceries and have the others help with weeding in the backyard."

Before doing all this, Bai Haoxue instructed Bai Xiang, "Dad, you must take good care of yourself. If Lan Sizhan finds doctors to treat your leg, you must cooperate well.

The Nameless Elder said there’s a chance for your leg to recover, so take good care of it."

"Okay..." Bai Xiang agreed.

...

Outside, a few people watched as two bodyguards went out, and the others were scattered, doing chores.

"Hey guys, now’s a great chance, let’s hurry and get Professor Bai out."

"What do you mean rescue? Li Mingmo is still inside; Li Mingmo alone is more formidable than all the bodyguards."

"True... but what should we do then?"

"Let’s wait and see what happens first."

At that moment, Li Mingmo’s voice suddenly echoed from upstairs.

"Bai Haoxue... I must say, your house is really nicely done, it has that scholarly family, artistic feel."

"Of course, my dad is a university professor, and my mom loves all kinds of art, and my grandpa, when he was around, loved all sorts of literati treasures, calligraphy, and paintings."

Bai Haoxue whispered, "We’re being so obvious, won’t they suspect anything?"

Li Mingmo glanced at the few people below, "What’s there to suspect? At least you’re not so obvious as to push your dad out into the yard alone to sunbathe."

Bai Haoxue: "..."

It’s true, to those in the know, everything feels staged.

But to those few who know nothing, their behavior actually seems quite normal...
