Before heading to the police station to see Bai Man, Shen Chi first made a trip to the Bai Family residence.
Bai Xuan was still the same as always. Shen Chi had grown much less guarded against him. After all, no matter what, he was Xu Chaomu's biological father.
Sometimes, Shen Chi would permit Bai Xuan to take a walk outside, but Bai Xuan rarely wanted to. He preferred staying alone in the house.
Maybe it was because of his age, or perhaps the cold weather, but Bai Xuan often liked to sit silently by himself, not even bothering to go to the garden.
When Shen Chi arrived, Bai Xuan was busy practicing calligraphy.
Though Bai Xuan noticed Shen Chi entering, he didn't stop and continued finishing the piece he was working on.
The room was filled with the rich fragrance of ink. At some point, the family portrait that used to hang on the wall had disappeared.
Shen Chi moved closer to see what Bai Xuan was writing. It was a poem—Jiang Jie's "Yu Beauty·Listening to the Rain."
