While Xiao Zhengchu was out, Sheng Bai used a similar excuse to have the housekeeper bring a locksmith to the door. He claimed he had bought the place and that, naturally, he needed to change the locks for security.
After the housekeeper left, the lock upstairs that Qiao An had smashed was also replaced. As for the key, it naturally ended up in her hands, making it convenient for her to come and go.
To ensure Dan Tuo's return went undiscovered, Lu Li and Chen Cong meticulously cleaned the room before leaving, making sure not to leave a single trace behind.
While they were bustling about, Sheng Bai was already dressed to the nines. During his time with Qiao An, he had always been running around in a durable tracksuit, looking just like a diligent assistant working hard. Now, dressed in a custom suit with his hair slicked back and fiddling with the watch on his wrist, he had the air of a wealthy young master.
