Bai Meiyue had no intention of doing something so useless. Since these people had no intention of swearing their loyalty to her, why would she waste her time in doing so? She closed her eyes and continued her meditation without caring about what was going on outside. Her brothers would take care of it if anything happened. However, before she could even engross herself in meditation, she heard someone screaming and making a fuss outside her study. She furrowed her brows and opened her eyes just in time to hear someone knock on her door.
"Come in," said Bai Meiyue, and a woman with dishevelled hair rushed inside her study with a sturdy man following her. She looked at Xiao Wu, who was dragging a woman by her arm and frowned even harder. "What is going on?"
Before the man could say anything, the woman rushed forward and knelt in front of Bai Meiyue, and she began to cry, "Bai Meiyue, Bai Meiyue, save me; I am being bullied. Please save me—this man is bullying me."
"What nonsense are you saying?" Xiao Wu’s face flushed red, and a nerve started to throb in his neck. He walked forward and pointed to the kneeling woman in front of Bai Meiyue and said to Bai Meiyue, "Boss, I just saw this woman coming out of the house of a bunch of ability users. I just wanted to ask her what she was doing there because she was walking all funny."
The woman’s face turned red when she heard his words. She stiffened her neck and then turned to glare at Xiao Wu before saying in a high-pitched voice, "Xie Jinye and the other women following her can come in and out of men as they want to. So, why are you questioning me and not them?"
The woman had finally raised her head, and with the sharp, glaring lights in the room, Bai Meiyue was easily able to see her face. When she saw who it was, she could not help but scrunch her face up. Bai Meiyue slowly got up from the cushion on which she was sitting and came closer to the woman. She took one more look at the woman and exclaimed in surprise, "Meng Anzhi? What are you doing here? Were you not supposed to leave?"
Meng Anzhi was still in her safe base? Bai Meiyue clearly remembered that she told the two Meng siblings that she wanted to kick this woman out of the safe base. The two of them had agreed, so what was Meng Anzhi still doing in this safe base? Bai Meiyue did not doubt the two siblings, given that they were loyal to her, but Meng Anzhi’s appearance did leave a sour taste in her mouth.
"I...I..." Meng Anzhi’s expression turned stiff. She was indeed supposed to leave. Meng Suisui had told her that she needed to leave the safe base as soon as possible. After that, she did not care about Meng Anzhi leaving her to fend for herself. In the end, she could only straighten her waist up and say, "Bai Meiyue, there are so many mutated bugs outside; how can I even think about leaving the safe base? Please let me stay for a few more days, and then I will take my leave, I promise."
She then changed the topic. "Anyway, I did not want to disturb you either, but this man is bullying me. He has been targeting me for ages now; I see him looking at me every now and then."
