Bai Xiao was speechless; her grandmother was truly beyond anyone's expectations.
It was already dark when she returned to the courtyard.
She came back late because the old lady had delayed her with her meddling, and now night had fallen.
Entering the hallway, she discovered that the light on the first floor was out.
She silently cursed her bad luck, though the light in the hallway often malfunctioned due to years of disrepair.
It seemed that tomorrow she'd have to notify the security guard at the entrance to come replace it when they had the time.
Just as she entered the hallway, a pain in the back of her head, then darkness, and she fainted.
......
When she came to, Bai Xiao felt as if the back of her head was splitting open. It was clear that she had been clubbed by some bastard; it was no robbery, it was either abduction or assault.
