Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Secret Compartment in Bai Yurou’s Room Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Secret Compartment in Bai Yurou’s Room After searching through all the clothes, no other useful items were found. Bai Jingyan saw Nan Qiao meticulously searching for things and understood that she must be looking for something useful inside. Bai Jingyan walked over and asked in a low voice, “Qiaoqiao, do you need my help?” “Second Brother, can you check the desk over there to see if there’s a hidden compartment or something like that? If you come across any ornaments, try turning them and see.” Bai Jingyan instantly understood; this was like the scenes in TV shows where secret chambers are discovered. “Sister, I’ll go take a look now.” Bai Jingyan accepted the task, ready to ensure its completion! The two continued their search. Nan Qiao stood still, her gaze sweeping over the entire walk-in closet. She looked around and headed towards a particular spot. She searched throughout the closet in the walk-in closet, knocking on the cabinet doors, touching the handles. Finally, in one of the closets in the walk-in closet, she discovered a hidden compartment. Bai Jingyan looked at Nan Qiao in surprise; his sister was truly clever. Bai Jingyan approached, watching as Nan Qiao held a box in her hands. Bai Jingyan immediately became tense, could it be like in the TV shows where there’s a bomb in the box? “Sister, gently hand the box to me, I’ll take it out. What if there’s a bomb inside? It could be very dangerous for you!” Nan Qiao both cried and laughed, her Second Brother was too cute. “Second Brother, there’s no bomb inside, rest assured,” said Nan Qiao as she placed the box on the table. Bai Jingyan felt a bit embarrassed; he seemed to have made a fool of himself. “Sister, are you sure everything’s okay? Shouldn’t we have a professional check it out first?” “Second Brother, I’ve already checked it, there’s no bomb inside. The box was in a hidden compartment, Bai Yurou definitely wouldn’t want to blow herself up.” Nan Qiao opened the box, and indeed, there was no bomb inside. The box contained quite a few gold bars, which were quite heavy when picked up. Nan Qiao admired Bai Yurou, and also understood the wisdom of buying gold bars to preserve wealth. It seemed she had saved up quite a bit of money for her future plans. Unfortunately, after leaving the Bai Family, she hadn’t considered that it was a one-way street with no return. “So many gold bars,” Bai Jingyan also thought of Bai Yurou’s intention to preserve wealth in gold bars. “There’s also a black card inside.” Bai Jingyan pulled it out from beneath the gold bars, and it was blank with no writing on it. It was about the size of a business card but without any markings, it was hard to determine what it was used for. “Second Brother, I’ll hold onto this Black Card for now and study it after we get back.” Bai Jingyan immediately handed over the items to Nan Qiao; whatever his sister wished for, he provided. “Sister, take these gold bars too, they are yours now,” he said. Nan Qiao said, “We should still tell Mom and Dad.” Bai Jingyan replied, “I’ll go tell them. The gold bars are for you, I’ll say it right now.” Bai Jingyan was quick to act and left promptly, not giving Nan Qiao a chance to stop him. Nan Qiao looked at the glittering gold, naturally filled with joy—who could refuse gold? Having initially found these items, Nan Qiao felt tired; she would search again tomorrow. When Nan Qiao closed the door, it was a place others couldn’t enter. Nan Qiao, carrying the items, went to Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang’s room, where Bai Jingyan had already recounted what happened. Nan Qiao held a heavy box, and Bai Jingyan quickly took it from her. “Sister, why did you bring the gold bars here? They’re yours, I’ve already said I’d give them to you. You should have taken them to your room.” Chen Xinwan also said, “Qiaoqiao dear, no matter what valuable things are found in Bai Yurou’s room, they all belong to you; we don’t want them.” Bai Zhenyang continued, “Qiaoqiao, take the gold with you later.” As Bai Jingyan clutched the gold, Nan Qiao stood by, feeling a bit awkward at the thought of being given the heavy gold so straightforwardly. “Bai Yurou spent the family’s money, these gold bars should go to Mom and Dad,” she said. Chen Xinwan replied, “Qiaoqiao dear, don’t decline it; take the gold, just keep it.” Bai Zhenyang added, “Our family’s money is yours, Qiaoqiao; just take it.” Everyone saying so, Nan Qiao accepted it. Nan Qiao took out the black card and placed it on the table. “So far, this is all I’ve found. I’ll search again later. I didn’t expect that Bai Yurou’s room would really have a hidden compartment. The Black Card is also something I have to study later.” Chen Xinwan commented, “Qiaoqiao, you look into it first, and if it doesn’t work out, we’ll find someone else.” Chen Xinwan said this to avoid putting too much pressure on Nan Qiao. A smooth black card indeed proved difficult to handle. “Mom, if it doesn’t work, I’ll seek help from a professional,” she said. Bai Zhenyang said with a grave expression, “I never thought that we’d be raising a white-eyed wolf at home. The money we gave her, she spent one part on herself, gave part away, and likely bought these gold bars with another part. It’s good that Qiaoqiao found them, otherwise Bai Yurou would have profited!” Just then, Liu Feng sent a message to Nan Qiao, stating that Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai had arrived. Consequently, everyone went downstairs. “Grandpa, Granny, you’re here.” Nan Qiao naturally walked over and helped Granny, with an obedient and sensible demeanor, endearing her to everyone. Grandpa Bai said, “Your Granny has always wanted to come, but I was worried that being here might remind her of the incident where she was pushed down the stairs, which could upset her, so I never let her come.” “I’m fine now, all thanks to Qiaoqiao. If it weren’t for her rousing me, I’d still be in a vegetative state,” Granny Bai added. There was a hint of melancholy as she mentioned, “Who would have thought, Yurou could actually try to kill me.” Grandpa Bai said, “Even though she wasn’t our own flesh and blood, we treated her well, and no one expected her to be an attempted murderer.” A discussion of Bai Yurou brought down everyone’s mood. To this day, it was hard to believe that this was the truth; after years of investment, it all came to naught. Grandpa Bai added, “From now on, let’s not casually mention these three words ‘Bai Yurou.’ Let’s gradually forget her existence.” Grandpa Bai, a seasoned veteran of the business world, made decisions swiftly and firmly, handling matters with precision and decisiveness. “Even though there’s no evidence directly implicating Bai Yurou, we shall no longer acknowledge her. We say to outsiders that Bai Yurou was a foster daughter, understood?” Everyone nodded, Chen Xinwan wouldn’t make a case for Bai Yurou either. Bai Yurou’s schemes went deeper; she had designs on the lives of the entire family. This day served as a small meeting to kick the name Bai Yurou out of the Bai Family completely. Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang remained silent, which was as good as agreeing to Grandpa Bai’s suggestion. Nan Qiao stated, “What Grandpa says is right, Bai Yurou can’t return to the Bai Family. If she uses her current identity to do things, it could backfire on us, which would be a loss not worth the gain.” Nan Qiao had wanted to do this from the beginning, but her position was somewhat awkward. Bai Yurou had just been ousted, and she feared acting too harshly and upsetting her family. But with the suggestion coming from Grandpa Bai, it was different. Grandpa Bai, who was prudent and far-sighted, wouldn’t face opposition to his suggestions, which were reasonable and for the good of all.
