Once inside the Safe House, Bai Yexiu locked the door behind him. After ensuring they were alone, he snatched the small box from Zuomu’s hand and tossed it into the trash can. He even pushed it deep into the trash bag, not minding the filth, to make sure it wouldn't be spotted from the outside.
Bai Yexiu looked back at the bewildered Zuomu, wanting to say something but stopping short. Finally, he rubbed his forehead with a sigh.
Feeling uneasy, Zuomu realized he had truly done something wrong. Just as he was about to apologize, Bai Yexiu turned to head upstairs, pointing toward the door: "Go stand guard outside. Don't let anyone in until I return. If someone comes looking for me, tell them I need some quiet time. Understand?"
