Because of Bai Ye’s insistence, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang could only agree to let him join them. However, they had to inform the others first, as it was pitch-dark outside, and sudden disappearances would definitely cause worry.
As expected, when they informed the others, they all clamored to go with them. Chen Qiao and the rest were easy to dissuade, they held great respect for Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin; with just one order from Fang Yuyang, they quieted down and stopped insisting on joining.
In their hearts, they understood that their abilities were far inferior to those of Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin; tagging along would only be a hindrance rather than a help. It was just a token gesture of loyalty.
With them settled, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were not so easily swayed. As parents, Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin did not want them to be burdened, yet how could they not worry about their own children?
However, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang were very firm. Fang Yuxin said, "Dad, Mom, you really don’t need to worry, we’re just going to scout the nearby area and won’t go far; nothing will happen."
Fang Yuyang followed up, "Yeah, Mom and Dad, we will be back soon, and with such heavy rain outside, why would you want to follow us?"
After taking turns persuading them, they finally managed to appease the two. On another note, Hou San and the others also had objections, all stating that they wanted to accompany Bai Ye, not feeling at ease with him venturing out alone.
Bai Ye, leaning against the wall, simply said, "The situation outside is unclear; too many people going out could actually be unsafe." His words were not very explicit, but Hou San and the others understood that their presence might actually be a burden.
Considering their own strengths, their faces turned somewhat ugly, but they no longer insisted on going with Bai Ye.
Before leaving, Fang Yuxin specifically instructed, "If everything goes as expected, we will return within an hour. If we haven’t come back after an hour, then something has happened. If something really comes up, use gunshots as a signal."
Bai Ye added, "Although this hotel seems safe, anything could happen at this time. Everyone be careful, and if there’s an emergency, similarly use gunshots as a signal."
