Chapter 812 Inconvenient to Contact Others
"Don't worry about it, An Xia. I'm counting on you. I have something to do, so goodbye for now."
An Xia looked at the disconnected phone call and felt more and more suspicious. However, she couldn't figure out what was going on.
On the other hand, Lu Qingyou returned directly to the provincial capital where T City was located, then took a train from the provincial capital to T City.
Although T City was a city, it was not big.
She soon found a small hotel where she could check in without showing her ID.
The people here were generally not tall and had tanner skin. As she was from the north, she was slightly taller. Moreover, since she had never had to work a day under the sun, her skin was smooth, and her temperament couldn't be concealed.
This was something she noticed after going out for a walk and having a meal.
There were hardly any outsiders here, so her appearance attracted a lot of attention.
The next day, she put on makeup to make herself look "ugly."
Basically, she applied layers of powder and added a few discolored dots on her face before she tied her hair up into what looked like a bird's nest.
She didn't dare to contact her family or call Bai Yeqi.
If they knew she was here, they would definitely try to send her back.
If that happened, looking for Bai Yunan would be like finding a needle in a haystack. However, there was one thing she was very clear about: Bai Yeqi would go to the local police station.
In the following days, she disguised herself and went to the entrance of the police station every day to keep watch.
She refused to believe that she wouldn't bump into Bai Yeqi.
Finally, on the third day at noon, she saw him coming out of the police station.
Dressed in all black, he had a cap covering his much-shorter hair. Lu Qingyou wouldn't have recognized him if she wasn't familiar with him.
There were also two people following him. When they reached the entrance, the two people said a few words to him, and he nodded before they parted ways.
Although Bai Mingxu didn't agree with Bai Yeqi coming over, he couldn't do anything to Bai Yeqi who insisted on coming to T City. In the end, he had to agree to his son's decision.
Moreover, even if Bai Yeqi didn't come, other people would still end up coming. Some things had to be done.
The reason people enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous era was that there were those who were shouldering the darkness.

Lu Qingyou carefully followed behind Bai Yeqi for a long distance until they arrived at his place.
She booked a room nearby after checking the location.
When she went back to pack her things and brought them over, she saw Bai Yeqi waiting for her at the entrance of the hotel.
With his hands in his pockets, he looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Qingyou pretended not to recognize him and walked past him with her head down.
When she had walked two steps past Bai Yeqi, he called out slowly, "Lu Qingyou."
The bag in Lu Qingyou's hand fell to the ground. She turned her head, with a bitter face, and almost knelt in front of Bai Yeqi. "Yeqi, I beg you, please don't let my family know that I'm in T City. My dad will send me back!"
Bai Yeqi's face turned cold as he looked at her, and he warned in a lowered voice, "So you do know that you're acting recklessly. If you don't want them to take you back, you'd better go back on your own."
Lu Qingyou was about to say something, but Bai Yeqi interrupted her. He looked around, grabbed Lu
Qingyou's hand, and walked upstairs, not forgetting to carry her bag.
Once they were in the room, he closed the door and continued to stare at her with a cold face. "You're getting bolder. You'll be in big trouble if Uncle Lu finds out about this."
Lu Qingyou weakly pleaded, "Don't let my Dad know then, Yeqi."
"Is this a place where you can come? Is it a place where you can act recklessly? Forget about your Dad; if Yunan finds out that I let you come, I'll be in big trouble too!"
He never expected Lu Qingyou to be so bold. Although she was pretty tough, she had always been able to distinguish the importance and urgency of things. She was sensible and never acted recklessly.
"I know my actions this time were impulsive and irresponsible, but I'm worried about Yunan. What if something happens to him? I'm just going to wait for you guys here. I won't do anything, and I won't cause you any trouble. I'll listen to you. Please don't tell my family that I'm in T City."
Lu Qingyou had already thought about this issue. It was almost impossible for a woman like her to find Bai Yunan.
However, by coming to T City, she was at least a little closer to Bai Yunan. If they had any news about him, she would be able to know it as soon as possible.
That would be good enough.
Lu Qingyou looked at Bai Yeqi with a pleading, pitiful expression. Seeing this, Bai Yeqi couldn't help but waver.
As he gave a small nod, Lu Qingyou couldn't be happier. But then he said, "You stay here and don't go anywhere. Otherwise, I'll call back to Jingcheng City and have them send someone to pick you up."
"Okay!"
After negotiating the terms with Bai Yeqi, Lu Qingyo felt as though a huge burden was lifted off her chest.
At night, Bai Yeqi sat on the couch, studying a topographic map. Lu Qingyou wanted to ask questions as she couldn't understand well, but she was afraid of disturbing him.
Bai Yunan turned his head and glanced at her. "You want to ask me what I've found out, right?"
Lu Qingyou honestly replied, "Yeah, but I don't want to disturb you."
"Yunan should be safe. They chased the Ninth Lord to the outskirts. No matter how you look at it, they wouldn't be unable to find him in these mountains. So, there is only one reason, and that is Yunan intentionally not contacting us. He must have come up with another plan because of the Ninth Lord's cunning nature. What we need to do now is to contact Yunan."
"So what you're saying is, Yunan is safe, but because he changed his plan at the last minute, it's inconvenient for him to contact others?"
"That's right."
Lu Qingyou nodded and fell into deep thought.
In other words, Yunan had already disguised his identity and was hiding in a corner of T City.
Bai Yeqi believed that if he told Lu Qingyou that Bai Yunan's life was not in danger, she would at least be more obedient.
He could even persuade her to go back.
However, he didn't say it immediately because he was worried that saying it too early would cause Lu Qingyou to react negatively.
In the following days, Bai Yeqi would leave early and return late. Lu Qingyou, too, did the same.
She wandered around T City every day.
Taking taxis, taking buses, wandering around the city…
T City was too small. It didn't take her long to roughly explore the city. As she had a good memory, she quickly remembered the locations of various districts and streets. For those she couldn't remember, she wrote them down.
She had initially wanted to try her luck and see if she could bump into Bai Yunan.
Unexpectedly, she hadn't met Bai Yunan yet, but she had become familiar with the topography of T City.
She would always leave later than Bai Yeqi every day and return earlier. Because of that, the man
didn't pay much attention to her.
When Lu Qingyou was half asleep late at night, she felt the door being pushed open. The person's movements were very light, but she quickly woke up as her nerves had been highly tense recently.
Before she could speak, the person came forward and covered her mouth.
