There were plenty of bodyguards in the yard of the Bai family's fortress, making it almost impossible for Gu Juexi to sneak out. Fortunately, the shift rotated every two hours so Gu Juexi would only be on duty from 1 pm to 3 pm. This was the first time that he was on duty since he left the army.
By the time the first shift of the day started, the meeting at the main hall had already wrapped up and the report on the Bai family's businesses had concluded that they had profited this year.
Thinking that that might be the last time the Bai family made money, Gu Juexi's lips curved.
"I need to go to the washroom," Gu Juexi said to the man beside him, who nodded.
Gu Juexi went to the washroom and sneaked out of the window swiftly after making sure that no one was watching.
The place where the first patriarch stayed was not far from the main hall and Gu Juexi was confident that he could make it back to his post in an hour.
