After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 49 Machinations

The submission deadline for the preliminary works for the ASHY competition is five days away. Generally speaking, anyone wishing to compete has already been preparing their preliminary work since the initial sign-up.

When chatting with Wang Xiaoxiao in the tea room earlier, Bai Xiying had deliberately mentioned that she still had some details to modify and would probably submit her work the day before the deadline.

At that time, she spoke in a lower voice, ensuring that Wang Ruonan, who was not far away, would definitely hear her.

Thinking about this, Bai Xiying scrolled her mouse, her eyes glued to the design on the computer screen, but her thoughts wandered elsewhere.

Her plan would surely damage Mu Qing's reputation in this field, and Mu Qing's notoriety would inevitably affect the Hurricane Studio. Such a chain of effects would certainly influence the collaborative project with Xingyuan, potentially jeopardizing the new game that Lin Xingzhu was developing.

Bai Xiying hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether she should give Lin Xingzhu a heads-up.

After all, things had changed; Lin Xingzhu had unknowingly become much more important to her.

That evening, before leaving work, Bai Xiying made some adjustments on her computer and placed the mini camera she had bought in the morning in a hidden spot to ensure that all details at her workstation would be recorded clearly before grabbing her bag and leaving.

As usual, Lin Xingzhu drove her home.

In the car, Lin Xingzhu stroked the steering wheel, hesitating to bring up Bai Xiying's routine outings at night.

To be honest, Lin Xingzhu was very curious about why Bai Xiying kept following Xie Yunya.

After pondering for a moment, she finally spoke up.

"Are you going out again tonight?"

Catching a glimpse of Bai Xiying out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xingzhu said seriously, "If you're going... you must remember to take safety precautions."

Bai Xiying was a bit surprised. She thought Lin Xingzhu would try to stop her but instead said this.

However, she had already made up her mind.

Bai Xiying tossed her hair back, glancing at Lin Xingzhu while she drove, her movements carrying a rare allure. "I'm not going."

Her voice was sweet, like honey, "I know you're worried about me. I won't go out at night anymore; I can find someone else to keep an eye on things."

Lin Xingzhu raised an eyebrow; this approach didn't quite seem like Bai Xiying, but she felt pleased with what she said.
