"Thank you for your trouble, this is the agreed price. Please check to see if there are any mistakes!" Bai Yujing stood in front of a man wearing a mask and work uniform, feeling somewhat puzzled. The man seemed a bit sneaky, but as an Hourly Worker dressed like this and wearing a mask was normal, Bai Yujing doubted for a moment but didn't think much of it.
In the past, the Hourly Workers from the company he usually contacted were all an aunt surnamed Zhou. He didn't expect this time to be a man. However, the place was cleaned very thoroughly, which made Bai Yujing quite satisfied.
"You’re too kind. If there's nothing else, I’ll take my leave!"
"Okay, sure. You get back to work!"
After the Hourly Worker left the community with his tool bag, he immediately took off his work uniform and mask and threw them into the trash can. He took out his phone: "Hello! I’ve conducted a thorough search just now and didn’t find what you wanted. I discovered there’s a basement below, but this type of basement with an internal power supply system cannot be opened with short-term or violent methods!"
"Yes, and I suspect that they might not have placed these items inside the house!" After lifting his mask, the man immediately reported Bai Yujing's recent situation and his findings over the phone.
"Right, exactly. I found a key to a bank safe in his home safe. He likely has entrusted services at the bank, which is why I have this suspicion!" The man quickly added when he sensed dissatisfaction from the other end regarding his work.
"No way. The bank's entrusted service requires the person to carry identification and undergo identity verification. Only after multiple verifications will the bank staff help you open the safe. It’s impossible to take anything out of the bank just with the key, so I didn’t touch the key to avoid alerting them!"
"Okay, then I’ll keep an eye on the target and abandon all actions for now!"
At this moment, the Hourly Worker put down his phone and turned back to take a deep look at the community, his eyes revealing deep hatred. If Bai Yujing were here, he would probably recognize this person at first glance; it was Ma Dong, who had previously opposed him.
However, Ma Dong was completely different from before. The once high-and-mighty man who exuded a business aura had now become plain and ordinary; he appeared dark and thin as if he had endured considerable hardship.
All of this was because of Bai Yujing and that woman. Just thinking about these two made Ma Dong feel his blood boil with anger rising to his head.
So when someone contacted him, who was already at his wits' end, Ma Dong immediately pledged his allegiance, not to mention dealing with his old rival Bai Yujing; he would be willing to do it even without payment!
"I will make you pay for this; I will ensure you are utterly disgraced!"
Seeing his enemy living so comfortably, renowned both domestically and internationally, while he himself had fallen from heaven to hell was like pouring salt on Ma Dong's wounds. He could not accept it at all. After deciding on his next plan, Ma Dong quickly left the place; it was still early, and he couldn't act rashly. The other party was a very vigilant person.
In London, England, in an office of a high-rise building, Bivis stood by the window, quietly observing the city below. After reflecting on the recent phone call, he immediately made another call.
"Boss, Bai Yujing has already started preparing for action. He has booked a flight for the ninth and is planning to head to Yangmayen Island first to search the nearby waters!" Bivis said at a steady pace.
Burton MacLeod's tone was somewhat hurried: "What about the person you contacted earlier? Did you gain anything?"
Bivis replied promptly, "Don't worry. The person I found this time is not one of us; he is someone very familiar with Bai Yujing. I think it’s better to find him than anyone else; perhaps he can yield unexpected results."
Burton MacLeod was very pleased: "Very good. Bai Yujing is a mysterious person; some of his actions are completely beyond our expectations. Having someone who knows him assist us is essential. We need to include this person in our action team!"
Bivis nodded: "Understood, boss. I will take care of it as soon as I get down!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Burton MacLeod continued: "Although we hope Bai Yujing can successfully help us obtain the Fountain of Life, we cannot place all our hopes on him. We also cannot fully trust him; we must keep a close watch on him, monitor his every move. Moreover, if he finds out that I deceived him... well, in any case, we will ultimately become enemies!"
"Alright, boss, I understand your meaning!" Bivis respectfully bowed even though he was on the other end of the line before hanging up.
Burton MacLeod sat on the hospital bed, his eyes clouded with a layer of white, as if he could barely see anything. He seemed to be in a state of near-death. At that moment, the sound of birds chirping outside broke through, and a nurse came in to tidy up.
Burton MacLeod pointed towards the window. "Open it, help me open the window. I want some fresh air!"
"Okay, just a moment!"
After the nurse opened the window, she immediately returned to Burton's side. "Mr. McLeod, is there anything else I can assist you with?"
Burton shook his head. "No, that's enough. You can go out now!"
Looking at the greenery and the breath of life outside, it felt like a stark contrast to his own aura of death. Outside was vibrant green, while inside the hospital room was gray. Burton seemed to fall into some sort of trance: "The fairy in the lake stole the key to the Fountain of Life from the heavenly realm. The Healing Spring Gold Plate was given to her pet, the Fountain of Youth Golden Plate was given to her son Merlin, and the Fountain of Lifespan Gold Plate was given to her daughter Annie. The staff of the Holy Oak guides to the gates of heaven. When the oath meets its end, that is when everything concludes. What does the latter part of the oath mean? Who made this vow?"
Burton kept muttering this phrase, then suddenly became furious: "Annie, why? Why? We are also your descendants; why leave such a curse for your own offspring? We have wronged you, and the McLeod Family has wronged you too, but why must we, your descendants, bear this punishment? It's not fair; it's completely unfair!"
Burton became agitated and knocked everything off the table beside him onto the floor. Immediately, the nurse rushed in from outside. "Mr. McLeod, what happened?"
