ASP.Net MVC5：RedirectToAction期间的区域布局更改

Question

I've used below snippet to redirect user to different action/views based on selected contract type:

public ActionResult Create(ContractViewModelCreate contract)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        if (contract.ContractType == Contract.ContractTypeENUM.SectionBased)
            return RedirectToAction("Create", "SectionBasedContract", new { area = "Admin" });
        else if (contract.ContractType == Contract.ContractTypeENUM.UnitBased)
            return RedirectToAction("Create", "UnitBasedContract", new { area = "Admin" });
        else
            return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    }
    Utils.AddErrorsString(ModelState, "Select project type");
    return View(contract);
}

However the first RedirectToAction leads to reading of layout file by running _ViewStart.cs in Admin area and 2nd one leads to running to _ViewStart.cs in root application area and don't care about Route Objects (to run in Admin Area). Since this action is running inside Admin area running of return RedirectToAction("Create", "UnitBasedContract", new { area = "Admin" }); lead to layout change.

I cannot find the reason, does anyone knows the reason?

The problem caused by the fact that I forgot to move View files of UnitBasedContractController to Admin area and I had left them in global application area. So the _ViewStart.cs of global Views called for my Views.
