Chapter 263: Pick Up the Phone Quickly

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

"Pick up, Bai Wei."

"Pick up the phone!"

Zhou Yuchuan's sword-like brows were tightly knitted, his expression extremely anxious.

The premonition in his mind was growing stronger and stronger.

Bai Wei would encounter great danger tonight.

Perhaps... she would die...

The call wouldn't go through!

Zhou Yuchuan looked up at the time; it was already late at night.

He immediately called Ye Lao.

"Mentor, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"Could you go to Qingshan Village right now and check on Bai Wei for me? I'm afraid she... is in danger."

Ye Lao knew a thing or two about his ability.

Hearing the anxious tone in his voice, he replied immediately.

"Alright, I will take people over there right now."

"Mentor, thank you for the trouble."

Zhou Yuchuan put down his phone, but the anxiety in his heart did not disappear.

His Precognition had never been as strong as it was today.

Still unable to set his mind at ease, Zhou Yuchuan sent a WeChat message to Bai Wei.

He truly regretted why he had come to Yanjing.

If something happened to Bai Wei, he would never be able to forgive himself.

Ye Lao had already set off, heading toward Qingshan Village.

Zhou Yuchuan still could not calm down; he picked up his phone, preparing to use his connections to contact the village chief of Qingshan Village.

Ye Lao was in the city center and it would take some time to reach Qingshan Village; he had to find someone in the same village to warn Bai Wei.

Just as Zhou Yuchuan picked up his phone and was about to make the call.

Suddenly!

The phone slipped from his hand and landed on the carpet.

"My head..."

Zhou Yuchuan clutched his head tightly, his brows twisted together.

A piercing, excruciating pain suddenly surged through his mind.

This was the aftereffect of every instance of Precognition.

Today, it was particularly intense.

The headache intensified, as if there were an electric drill inside his brain.

Zhou Yuchuan could no longer hold on; his body went limp, and he fainted to the floor.

Night shrouded Qingshan Village.

Bai Wei was standing in the bathroom, holding a hairdryer to dry her hair.

The power in the village was out, and she had nothing to do, so she had taken a shower.

Who would have thought that her hand would slip, causing her phone to fall into the water basin and shut down immediately.

Bai Wei tapped it several times, but the phone wouldn't turn on, so she had to give up.

She was wearing pajamas and intended to go to bed early after drying her hair.

Just then, she vaguely caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing past the window in the mirror.

"Who is it?"

Bai Wei was startled and immediately turned to look.

She was currently living in a single-story house.

Bai Wei ran to the window and peered outside without opening it.

Outside, it was pitch black and empty.

Due to the power outage, the surroundings seemed exceptionally quiet.

"Did I see wrong?" Bai Wei rubbed her eyes in confusion. "Maybe it was Chen Ming."

Chen Ming's mind had always had problems, and he loved running around the Farm.

Without electricity, the electric fence on the perimeter wall could not function either.

Although the surveillance cameras had a backup power supply, the outage affected the network, so she couldn't see anything on her phone for the time being.

To view the surveillance footage, one had to go to the security booth at the entrance of the Farm.

It was still a distance from here to the security booth, and it was truly too dark outside; Bai Wei felt a bit intimidated, so she didn't go.

Bai Wei dried her hair, lay down comfortably on the bed, and prepared to sleep.

Before sleeping, she didn't forget to write a note for Xiao Moting.

"Tomorrow morning, I want to eat sweet glutinous rice balls, the sesame-filled kind."

After arranging the menu for tomorrow, Bai Wei picked up her phone, subconsciously wanting to scroll for a while before sleeping.

But as soon as she picked it up, she remembered that the phone had just gotten wet and couldn't even be turned on.

Just then, Bai Wei suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Just now, she clearly saw a figure outside the window.

Chen Ming is afraid of the dark; it is impossible for him to come out at night.

Could it be that a thief has broken in!

Alarm bells rang in Bai Wei's heart, and she flipped over and sat up at once.

Just at this moment, she heard movement coming from the main room, as if it were a series of rustling footsteps.

Mother has already gone to sleep and does not have the habit of getting up at night.

Furthermore, even if Mother went to the main room, it would be impossible for her to walk on tiptoe like a thief!

A thief has broken into the house!

Bai Wei felt a shock in her heart!

Her mobile phone is water-damaged, so she cannot call the police.

Her heartbeat quickened, and she was incomparably nervous in the darkness.

No.

Must stay calm.

Bai Wei took a deep breath, remembered that she still had equipment, and opened the cabinet.

Inside the cabinet were several pairs of Night Vision Goggles; this was equipment she had previously bought to send to the Northern Frontier Army, and a few remained at home.

Bai Wei put on the Night Vision Goggles, carefully opened the door a crack, and looked out.

At this look, she was instantly stunned.

In the main room, a figure stood with their back to her, crouching on the ground and rummaging through a cabinet.

This figure was very tall and was clearly a man.

Moreover, he was holding a knife in his hand.

The blood in Bai Wei's entire body almost froze.

A thief had truly broken into the house, and the other party even had a knife!

In the bedroom, apart from the night vision goggles, there were no weapons kept.

If this thief broke into the bedroom, he might commit violence against her and kill her to silence her!

Bai Wei broke out in a cold sweat, her heart thumping wildly.

She had spent a large sum of money to install a security system and electric fences in the Farm precisely to prevent thieves from invading.

She had not expected that there would be a power outage tonight, and the thief had actually managed to get in.

Mother was still sleeping, and the security guards at the entrance had not made a single sound.

Bai Wei suppressed her alarm, quietly closed the bedroom door, and racked her brains.

The security guard at the guard post was a new hire; a thief had entered the Farm, yet there was not a single sound, and she did not know if they were in on it together.

She had to get out and find the village chief!

She could only trust the village chief, whom she knew inside and out.

Bai Wei could not sit and wait for death; she quietly pulled open the window, flipped her body over, and jumped out.

Her bare sole stepped onto a stone.

Bai Wei's foot slipped, and she fell to the ground unexpectedly.

A searing, intense pain shot from her ankle.

"Hiss!"

Bai Wei fell at the base of the window, her face twisted in pain.

The pain in her ankle was piercing, and it even brought tears to her eyes.

Bai Wei endured the sharp pain and held onto the windowsill, trying to stand up.

But just as she stood up, her body went limp and she fell to the ground again.

No!

Her sprained foot was too painful; she could not stand up at all.

Just at this moment, Bai Wei suddenly caught sight of two more figures on the wall of the Farm, sneaking their way inside.

Wearing the Night Vision Goggles, she could see very clearly.

Both of these figures were holding sharp knives with keen blades.
