Bai Yujing feels restless, sitting on the sofa watching the news. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Since last year, the entire world has undergone tremendous changes. However, Bai Yujing has found himself idle, truly having nothing to do and spending his days in a daze.
Although it feels somewhat boring, there hasn't been much action. After all, various adventures and Exotic Creatures are unlikely to come rushing towards Bai Yujing. He has traveled a few times but made no significant discoveries and ultimately returned home to settle down quietly.
"Ian, you need to take Bethany to school!" Emma called out as she rushed down the stairs with her bag.
Emma is now the head of the local branch of the Endangered Species Conservation Association, having transitioned from a member to a formal position. Therefore, she has many responsibilities and must adhere to a regular work schedule. As a result, her boyfriend Bai Yujing, who is feeling restless, has become the caregiver responsible for taking care of Bethany's daily life and school commutes.
"Hey? Aren't you making breakfast?" Bai Yujing was still waiting for Emma to prepare breakfast.
"No, I overslept today. You can take Bethany out to eat. By the way, don't let anyone drag you out for drinks again tonight. Let's go to the gym together after work!" Emma hurriedly tidied up, grabbed her car keys, and rushed out. Bethany is already twelve years old this year and has grown a bit taller. This semester is her last year of elementary school, and she will be starting middle school in the second half of the year.
"Ian, hurry up! I want beef brisket noodles for breakfast!"
Bethany was placed in an international school because her Chinese wasn't very good, but now she can use Mandarin quite fluently. Bai Yujing stood up and pushed Bethany playfully on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, let's go eat at that place next to your school."
"We have a parent-teacher meeting at the end of the month!"
"Okay, got it. I promise I'll be there. You haven't caused any trouble at school, right? I really don't want to go there and get scolded!"
"Hmph, my studies are great!"
Bai Yujing never expected to live such a life where he didn't have to worry about anything and lacked nothing. He has a beautiful girlfriend and a lovely child... cough, cough, although he doesn't have a child yet, he will in the future.
Although this kind of life was what he had always wanted and dreamed of, Bai Yujing still felt a bit restless.
Bai Yujing's car was replaced; he is now driving a sleek white new concept car that Li Hao gifted him. Li Hao said that as a shareholder, it was necessary and his duty to promote the company while also experiencing and testing the product.
Currently, in Guang Province, this new concept electric vehicle has started to become popular. There are card-swiping charging stations everywhere on the streets, making charging very convenient. At first, Bai Yujing thought Li Hao was using him as a guinea pig, but after trying it out, he found it quite good. He got used to it afterward; it's environmentally friendly and stylish. Most importantly, it does look impressive when driving out.
After starting the car, Bai Yujing fastened Bethany's seatbelt and suddenly felt like someone was watching him. Bai Yujing has a strong sixth sense and immediately turned his head to look around but saw nothing.
Bai Yujing got out of the car to check and then got back in. His feeling was indeed correct; someone was watching him. However, it was quite normal; Bai Yujing could be considered a public figure. Although things have cooled down recently, he was still a star who remained in the news headlines last year.
Even now, due to the upcoming release of the movie "Treasure Hunter" featuring Bai Yujing and the launch of a new book, he is often followed by reporters and paparazzi, something he has grown accustomed to.
After having dinner with Bethany and dropping her off at school, Bai Yujing returned home. However, when he opened the door, he noticed something unusual; a white envelope was wedged under the front door of the villa.
Bai Yujing immediately stepped back to observe his surroundings and the upper part of the villa. After scanning the area again, he found no signs of anyone nearby; it seemed that whoever had left the envelope had long since departed.
Bai Yujing returned to the door and looked down at the envelope. It was a plain white envelope, simply used for holding something. There was no return address or postal code written on it, nor was there a stamp. Bai Yujing carefully picked it up and gently squeezed it; it felt full, but it didn't seem to contain anything particularly special.
He opened the envelope to find a stack of photographs. Upon inspection, it appeared that the photos were taken in a mountainous area, showcasing a primeval jungle landscape. What caught his attention most was a very old small village nestled within the mountains.
Bai Yujing continued to look through the subsequent images, which depicted scenes from within the village. Judging by the surrounding environment in these pictures, this village seemed to be truly isolated in the heart of the mountains. However, such villages were not unheard of, and Bai Yujing did not find anything particularly strange about it. What was this person trying to convey by sending him these images?
As he continued to examine the photos, he came across an enormous millennium cedar tree, standing nearly forty meters tall with moss covering its trunk. More importantly, at its base lay a broken stone tablet with several large characters resembling Oracle Bone Script inscribed on it. However, after who knows how many years of wind and rain, they had become blurred and indistinct, with even the tablet itself shattered.
Bai Yujing moved on to another photo depicting a night scene in the mountains. A large group of strange individuals dressed in white clothing and wearing menacing masks were walking along a mountain path while carrying lanterns. They were lined up in formation, making their way toward the mountain peak; their lanterns flickered like ghostly flames in the dark forest.
The next photo startled Bai Yujing as soon as he picked it up; it appeared to have been taken from a close angle, capturing these white-clad figures in their true form.
The image wasn't very clear, but Bai Yujing carefully noticed that beneath their clothing was a furry leg.
