His Past (3)

Outside, the temperature plunged as snow fluttered along with the howling North wind. 

Yu Qiubai kept watch at the entrance to the basement, not knowing what was going on with Shen Xi in there. With the snow growing heavy and wind blowing in the elements, he was well on his way to becoming a shivering snowman. 

It was quiet inside since she went in there. Yu Qiubai listened and waited for a while before moving away to make a call. 

Although he did not have Li Yuan's number, Yu Qiubai had Yun Jinping's contact. After calling Yun Jinping for Li Yuan's number, Yu Qiubai made up his mind to call Li Yuan. 

Given that Xixi said or did nothing to him despite finding out, Yu Qiubai and his mother probably had little to do with the Li family's dark past. 

Time passed. 

Standing by the doorway, Yu Qiubai kept his eyes ahead until that person emerged amid the snowstorm around half an hour later.
