chapter 4:

Bai Xiaoai opened the door, ready to go out, but saw several black-clad men searching back and forth in the corridor, as if looking for someone. She turned pale and quickly felt for her phone in the pocket of her dress, wanting to call for help. After all, there was some risk, as a woman, she couldn't take it lightly. Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Bai Xiaoai knew that the person she instinctively thought of to help her would not answer her call again. In the Yuan family mansion, Yuan Luo Ye's angry red eyes stared at his mother who had taken away his phone: "Mom, give me back my phone!" "It was that slut Bai Xiaoai who called, right? Why do you still want to answer her call?" Yuan's mother was furious: "Don't you forget how your father died?" Yuan Luo Ye's eyes flashed, his fist clenched at his side, but he didn't say anything else. Bai Xiaoai called her most trusted person, Bai Liao, but surprisingly couldn't get through. "What about it? Now only I can be the hero to save the beauty. As long as you marry me, not only can I overlook the crime of forcing me last night, but I can also take care of the disgusting old man outside and solve your father's case!" The handsome and confident Qiao Minghe grinned, looking down at the petite her. Bai Xiaoai frowned, looking up at the man who was nearly two meters tall and exuding a kingly aura, and asked, "Why do you have to marry me? What's your motive?" "It's simple, responsibility!" Qiao Minghe said lightly. "Is it really just that?" Bai Xiaoai wasn't stupid. She always felt that everything that happened last night was likely to be controlled by this shrewd and restrained man in front of her. Qiao Minghe shrugged lazily and handsomely, "Whether you believe it or not, you can only marry me now!" After much consideration, Bai Xiaoai finally agreed to his request. In any case, she couldn't let her father sit in jail and do nothing. Since this man promised to help her save her father and could deal with the disgusting old man outside who refused to leave, she wouldn't lose out by sacrificing her marriage. Bai Xiaoai became more cautious and pushed the registration time to the afternoon. Qiao Minghe naturally understood her caution and didn't expose her face to face, nodding and letting her leave. Not long after Bai Xiaoai left, Qiao Minghe's assistant walked in and respectfully said, "President, Bai Xiaowu's father, Bai Changwan, has been released on bail." "Hmm?" Qiao Minghe stood tall in the reception room in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, tall and noble, with an overbearing and restrained aura, completely different from his wicked and gentle appearance in front of Bai Xiaoai just now. "It was Yuan Luo Ye who did it." The assistant had followed Qiao Minghe for many years and knew that the president was always concise in his words, as if he had no patience for anyone. So with just one word, he already understood his meaning and truthfully replied, "But as far as I know, even if Yuan Luo Ye helped Bai Xiaoai, he wouldn't let her know." Qiao Minghe's lips curled up slightly, and a confident smile flashed in his deep eyes. The game was becoming more and more interesting! Mu Yue, do you think you can pretend not to remember me just by changing your identity? Bai Xiaoai had no money and could only walk home. She walked on the sidewalk and did not notice that a car had been slowly following her not far away. Until she returned to the Bai family villa, the car did not leave either. Bai Xiaoai did not expect that the man's efficiency in handling things was so high. Her father, who was supposed to have been arrested, had been released half an hour ago thanks to her friend's help. "Where did you go?" Bai Changwan sat on the sofa with a calm black face, smoking a cigarette. "That's right, Xiaoai, where did you go? You didn't even know that our dad was in trouble! If it weren't for my friend's help, we wouldn't even be able to see our dad now!" Bai Zichi, who was packing his luggage, said in a weird tone. Bai Xiaoai gave Bai Zichi a cold glance and her voice also turned cold, "You and your mother don't know where I went?"
