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 s.h.i.+ft 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 s.h.i.+ft 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 smart.w.a.tch. 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 s.p.a.cious 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.
