GBT Chapter 48
by VolareQi Yi Liao was coming over, and Jiao Bai’s first thought was: how many of the obscure words I memorized do I still remember?
Having such an old pervert who likes punishment lessons in his friend list was simply the worst.
That ruler was so damn wide, and long.
The feeling of it gently tracing his waistline was etched in Jiao Bai’s memory, making his entire waist feel cool.
Jiao Bai followed Shen Ji out of the hospital room in a daze, recalling the foreign original books he had read in Lan Mo Mansion. His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched, unconsciously spelling out words in the air.
“Gua Gua—”
Jiao Bai heard the shout and looked up. He found himself already in the underground parking lot, and not far away, Yu Xiang was being blocked by a group of bodyguards, struggling and screaming frantically.
“He’s my younger brother.” Jiao Bai frowned, “Let him go.”
The bodyguards didn’t release him, as their master hadn’t given the order.
Jiao Bai looked at Shen Ji.
“Where did you get a younger brother?” Shen Ji replied, hanging up the phone. He hadn’t even asked about the few days he was missing.
“I met him on the way back. He’s the one who gave me the money to buy clothes.” Jiao Bai made it up without a draft, speaking off the cuff. Although Shen Ji and the others had found the house in the old forest, Yu Xiang said that all traces had been cleaned up, so they shouldn’t be able to trace it back to him and his brother.
Yu Xiang’s screams became even more shrill.
Jiao Bai could feel his throat hurting just listening: “His brain isn’t quite right, he can’t handle stimulation.”
“A little lunatic, what are you doing bringing him around?” Shen Ji’s expression was coldly annoyed, and he waved his hand impatiently.
The next moment, Shen Ji regretted it. He shouldn’t have let the person go; he should have just put a sack over his head and thrown him out of South City.
Jiao Bai ignored the chill emanating from Shen Ji and moved to the side with Yu Xiang, who rushed over to hug him tightly.
Yu Xiang trembled in his arms, his feet knowing enough to cooperate and move with him.
Jiao Bai heard a terrifying grinding of teeth in his ear. He was worried that his ear would be bitten, so he quickly found a topic to calm Yu Xiang down: “Weren’t you waiting for me on the first floor? How did you get here?”
“I was worried.” Yu Xiang stopped trembling and grinding his teeth. He whined, “I was afraid some bad guys would sneak in.”
“I really caught one. It was an old man in his seventies or eighties, carrying a bomb on him, just outside the parking lot. He was waiting for your car to come out and detonate it.” Yu Xiang buried his face in Jiao Bai’s neck, his voice very small.
Jiao Bai’s scalp went numb.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I found it in time and dismantled it.” Yu Xiang patted Jiao Bai’s back, saying triumphantly, “I also knocked the person out and threw them in a big trash can.”
Jiao Bai glared at Shen Ji, who looked like he wanted to beat Yu Xiang to death, and whispered to Yu Xiang: “You can dismantle bombs?”
“My brother taught me.” Yu Xiang muttered, “My parents died when I was very young, and my brother has always taken care of me, teaching me everything. He hopes I know everything he knows, because he’s afraid that one day he’ll die on a mission, leaving me alone to fend for myself. Hmph, I’m actually better than him. The money in my card is several times what he has.”
Jiao Bai couldn’t help but chuckle: “Then do you have any fighting skills?”
Yu Xiang giggled: “I have some.”
“Then why didn’t you just now…” Jiao Bai stopped halfway through his question. This guy didn’t want to reveal himself so early.
“Gua Gua, can you forgive me for drugging you, considering that I didn’t let the bomb explode?” Yu Xiang took the opportunity to act spoiled.
Jiao Bai’s face hardened: “One thing at a time.”
Yu Xiang pouted: “Okay.”
“Such a strong murderous aura, Mr. Shen wants to kill me,” Yu Xiang suddenly left Jiao Bai’s arms. The hand that was on his collar pulled it down, and his eyes widened, “Gua Gua, why do you have choke marks on your neck?!”
Jiao Bai pulled Yu Xiang towards the Pikachu master who was spewing fire: “Don’t ask.”
Choke marks on his neck were nothing. Being stepped on back then was really painful, making it difficult even to swallow.
However, just now in the hospital room, being pulled like that had made his ribs ache again. He was too lazy to say anything here and planned to go home, take painkillers, and sleep.
Home…
Jiao Bai’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He finally knew which location Xi Garden, which had appeared in “Broken Wings,” was. It was Old Shen Dog’s private residence!
He didn’t want to go.
Jiao Bai subconsciously grabbed Yu Xiang’s hand, then slowly let go.
He had to go. It shouldn’t be for too long.
Fortunately, Qi Yi Liao would arrive tomorrow, so he wouldn’t have to be one-on-one with Old Shen Dog.
Although Qi Yi Liao was a pervert, it was precisely because of his attributes that he wouldn’t act out of control and violently. He was a pervert with gentlemanly manners, who would even take a hit himself before hitting someone else, giving a chance for a warning.
Moreover, he was also top-notch at mediating and resolving the atmosphere efficiently.
Jiao Bai walked up to Shen Ji and said, “I want to bring my brother.”
Shen Ji’s lungs were about to explode. He kicked Yu Xiang, who was sticking to his little dog, in the stomach.
There was no mercy in that force, it was a vicious blow.
Yu Xiang was only focused on looking at Jiao Bai and was caught off guard, kicked to his knees on the ground, vomiting a pool of food residue mixed with blood. His head hit the ground, and he couldn’t get up for a long time.
Jiao Bai saw himself in that moment. Back then, the old injury to the tailbone of this body was pressed, and he was just like this, miserable like a dog, finding it difficult and painful even to stand up. Jiao Bai’s breathing became rapid, his jaws clenched, but the words he spoke were very calm: “Is that not allowed? Then I won’t go to Xi Garden.”
Shen Ji grabbed his chin, forcing him closer: “It’s not up to you.”
Jiao Bai: “…” Listen to these CEO lines, every stroke filled with the flavor of dog blood.
“Yes, it’s not up to me.” Jiao Bai chuckled, “Then do you want me to go happily, or curse you to die a horrible death all the way?”
Shen Ji lowered his head, his nose touching his, and his deep, cold eyes were filled with mockery and disdain: “I’ll allow you to bring him along, but you’ll curse me anyway.”
Jiao Bai scratched him with his claws.
Shen Ji glanced at the bleeding scratch on the back of his hand. He twitched his thin lips strangely, actually missing the feeling of being scratched.
He was bewitched.
Jiao Bai took advantage of Shen Ji’s daze to break free and helped Yu Xiang up: “How are you?”
“Wuwuwu…” Yu Xiang cried non-stop, his blood-stained mouth turned down, “Gua Gua, my stomach hurts so much, so much, so much!”
Jiao Bai comforted him for a few words and looked back to see that Shen Ji had left.
The bodyguards were still there, one of them coming over on command: “Young Master Bai, the Chairman wants you to walk for an hour before getting in the car. We’ll follow behind.”
“Okay, okay.” Jiao Bai said with a smile.
Making a patient with ribs still healing and a weak constitution walk for an hour, that was fine, really fine.
Yu Xiang told his brother to tie him up and drugged him, making him soak in a wooden barrel for several hours. That couldn’t compare to Shen Ji; it was far from it. Shen Ji was the old beast who made him suffer the most, and he had never been so determined to hope that the other party would meet the ending of the comic.
But he mustn’t change the course like Qi Shuang, from a cripple who knew he had caused the death of his family and the person who loved him most into a corpse. Dying was so quick, Shen Ji mustn’t die. He would just watch his empire being taken away while he was still breathing his last, falling from the top of the business pyramid, but still alive. How bloody was that? He must maintain the original ending.
Jiao Bai felt a little better by relying on the original plot.
The Cen family had been laying the groundwork in the previous generation. If Cen Jingmo could stabilize his position with Yu Ling’s help before the new year, he would take action after the new year.
When the time came, he could sit back and watch a grand drama of a wealthy family business war.
In the comic, Shen Er An reigned supreme, but now…
Where was Shen Er An?
Jiao Bai used Yu Xiang’s phone to call Chen Yi Ming.
Chen Yi Ming parked his car by the roadside to answer the call. He looked in the rearview mirror: “Chairman, it’s Jiao Bai… Young Master Bai’s call.”
Shen Ji didn’t react.
Chen Yi Ming understood and turned on the speakerphone.
Thus, Jiao Bai’s question echoed in the car: “Where’s Shen Er An?”
“…”
Chen Yi Ming didn’t dare to look at the Chairman’s face: “The young master ran away the day after your accident and hasn’t returned. The Chairman has sent people to look for him.”
Jiao Bai’s expression changed. Shen Er An was missing, and the Shen family hadn’t found him yet.
This development made Jiao Bai feel uneasy.
He always felt that a bloody rainstorm was waiting for him.
After all, it was a world of bloody comics. No matter which line it was, it couldn’t be separated from blood.
Jiao Bai passed out before he finished walking for an hour. Yu Xiang, who had been kicked until he vomited blood, carried him into Xi Garden. He fell asleep unconscious, his face as white as paper that had been soaked in cold water.
When he woke up, it was already dark.
Jiao Bai woke up to the sound of chaos outside the room. He struggled on the bed for a while before getting up, putting on a coat, and opening the door.
Yu Xiang was arguing with someone, holding a laptop and an empty cup stained with some juice, his hair a mess.
The other party was…
“Zhang Zhen.” Jiao Bai was stunned when he looked over, “Why are you here?”
Then his face was filled with surprise again.
Leaning against the wall next to Zhang Zhen’s feet was another person. It was none other than Liang Dong, whom Jiao Bai had contacted as soon as he returned to South City.
“Third Brother asked me to come first.” Zhang Zhen’s clothes were stained with juice, a rare sight of embarrassment. He pointed to Liang Dong on the ground and said, “I met this little brother halfway.” In reality, he had been stopped, nearly hit by his car. He learned that the place the other person was going and the person he was seeing were the same. Thinking about their classmate relationship, he brought him along.
As long as Jiao Bai came back alive, Zhang Zhen thought as he hurried over.
Jiao Bai sized up Liang Dong. How did he look like a savage, dirty and messy from head to toe?
“Wake up.” Jiao Bai patted Liang Dong, and by the way, picked off a few yellow burr balls from his shoulder. He didn’t know where he had rubbed them on.
Liang Dong hadn’t been able to sleep for a long time. He squinted for a while, and when he was called awake, he opened a pair of abnormally red eyes and looked blankly at the person who was squatting down to look at him, “Little Stir-fry… Jiao Bai?”
Jiao Bai stood up straight: “Get up first.”
Liang Dong supported himself with both hands on the ground, and after a while, he got up. Where was the high-spirited look of him playing basketball and dunking on the playground?
“Gua Gua…” Yu Xiang approached Jiao Bai to complain, “They wanted me to call you out, I didn’t call, so they wanted to force their way in. You were so tired, I just wanted you to sleep longer.”
“I’ll talk to you later.” Jiao Bai gave Yu Xiang a look, “You go to the study to play on the computer for a while. If you don’t want to play, watch TV.”
Yu Xiang looked at him for a few seconds, pouted, and left. He turned back again: “Gua Gua, if anyone bullies you, call me! I’ll beat him to death!”
“…” Jiao Bai led Zhang Zhen and Liang Dong into the room.
“Is it convenient for me to be here?” Zhang Zhen didn’t move.
Jiao Bai looked at Liang Dong.
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it.” Liang Dong hunched his back, as if he couldn’t straighten it.
The room was lit, illuminating the different states of Jiao Bai, Zhang Zhen, and Liang Dong.
Zhang Zhen was an observer, cleaning up the juice in front of him on his own. Jiao Bai had just woken up, his eyelids were still swollen, and his complexion wasn’t good either.
Liang Dong kept rubbing his hands and cracking his knuckles throughout, his eyes darting around, anxious, and neurotic. His eye bags were puffy, his eyes were dull, and there was no trace of youthfulness left.
Looking at Liang Dong was like looking in a mirror for Jiao Bai. He had been like this for a long time when he was young. Back then, he had been in the trauma of his parents dying in front of him for a long time.
“Liang Dong, whatever you came to me for, you need to say it quickly. The owner of this Xi Garden is about to get off work, and I don’t know if he has any engagements tonight. If he comes back, this conversation of ours can’t continue.”
A trace of brilliance appeared in Liang Dong’s dull eyes: “I want to ask you for a favor.”
Jiao Bai waited for the next sentence. He had a bad guess, Liang Dong being like this, wouldn’t it be related to Qi Shuang’s death?
But what role could Qi Shuang be in this?
“That day was a monthly exam, and the last exam was biology. I saw An Ge hand in the paper early, so I followed him and handed it in too. I asked An Ge to play basketball, but he said he wouldn’t, and he took a taxi without me noticing. I was just thinking about going to the game hall for a while when the phone in my pocket rang…”
When Liang Dong said this, his breathing became labored, his pupils were trembling, and he still felt like it was a nightmare. He didn’t remember the tone in which his older sister told him that Qi Shuang was dead, nor did he remember how she was terrified, crying, and helpless. He only remembered rushing to the destination with a dizzy head, putting Qi Shuang’s body into the trunk, and hastily wiping away the bloodstains on the ground.
When Liang Dong came to his senses, he had already driven the car to a small forest in the countryside, throwing the body into a pit and burying it.
Liang Dong said intermittently about what happened after receiving the phone call. The only sound in the room was the sound of his heavy breathing.
Jiao Bai sat on the single sofa, leaning half of his body against the mecha wall next to him. The Qi Liang Liang family had also fallen in the original book, only ten years earlier.
The reason why the Qi family was targeting the Liang family was that the death of their youngest son was related to them, joint liability.
They hated the Shen family because Shen Ji, who had been plotted against, needed a vent, so he killed them all, equally joint liability. This was the unified style of the two-dimensional big family.
As for the Qi family wanting to kill him, firstly, they felt that he had indirectly caused Qi Shuang’s death, and secondly… to them, he was Shen Ji’s special accessory. In addition to being angered, they might also be holding onto the bizarre idea that by pinching him, they could make Shen Ji submit.
And Liang Dong was still alive now, probably because Shen Ji acted too quickly and ruthlessly. The Qi family was immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones and didn’t have time to counterattack before collapsing. Everything was messed up, and the collapsed Qi family didn’t care about Liang Dong.
Jiao Bai covered his eyes with his hand. These were all the butterfly effects he had brought about. The characters who had originally died or been maimed due to the influence of the protagonist gong and shou were all related to him in varying degrees.
In this comic full of villains, scumbags, and whores, he had merged into it and become a part of it.
Jiao Bai’s mentality was also changing imperceptibly, starting to regard the paper figures as living people. He didn’t want that and was resisting himself, not knowing if it was useful.
“What favor?” Jiao Bai asked Liang Dong. He vaguely guessed the other party’s purpose, but still asked.
“My older sister just wanted Qi Shuang to miss the registration and send him back after the time had passed. She didn’t want to kill him. She didn’t dare, and there was no need.” Liang Dong suddenly got up, the action was too big, plus he didn’t eat or sleep much, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. He staggered for a few steps and sat back down, “But the person she hired informed her that there had been an accident. Qi Shuang ran around and fell on a plate with a large iron block, and his entire back of his head was rotten. They ran away in fright. She panicked and called me to clean up the mess. I panicked too, I panicked even more than her. I drove to the countryside to dispose of the body…”
Liang Dong’s thoughts stalled for a moment. He raised his thin, haggard face and looked at Jiao Bai: “That night, my older sister’s mind wasn’t clear. She didn’t even know that her phone was lost later. I asked her who she hired, and she said it was introduced by a woman in her sister circle. When asked who it was, she said it was someone she had just met and mentioned an Old Pan.”
Liang Dong sucked on his bloody and blurred knuckle, his protruding cheeks covered in despair. He only knew how to curse and fight, how would he know how to clean up the traces of the crime scene? The Qi family quickly found out about his sister, and the police came to their door. His parents discussed with him, letting his older sister go in first. They would use all their family property to find Old Pan, find out the truth, and give the Qi family an explanation.
But the Qi family didn’t give them a chance.
That night, the police notified them that his older sister had a panic attack on the way to the police station to be investigated, causing cardiac arrest and failing to be rescued. The next day, his parents went out and had a car accident. The bodies and the car were crushed together and couldn’t be separated. Then the company was gone.
Liang Dong was taken away by his uncle in a daze. He was a high school student who hadn’t even entered society, and everything was caught off guard, a devastating disaster for him.
“I think…” Liang Dong’s features twisted, “My older sister was used as a knife.”
He thought about it a little more calmly for the past half month. He suspected that Qi Shuang wasn’t accidentally hit on the head by an iron block but that a force wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the waters.
That force used his sister to kill Qi Shuang, disrupting the situation in South City. Now it was really messed up, except that the Shen family’s foundation was too strong, and the stock price only fell a little, not much change.
Jiao Bai saw that Liang Dong had finished saying his guess and was looking at him with a look of looking at the last hope, and couldn’t help frowning. Let me investigate? I haven’t even completed one-eighth of my mission, and my life isn’t even my own.
“I want to turn myself in.” Liang Dong lowered his pale head, “Can you help me find a trustworthy police officer to reopen this case?”
Just this favor. Jiao Bai didn’t have much expression: “Where do I have that ability?”
“You do,” Liang Dong raised his head slightly, but didn’t dare to look Jiao Bai in the eye, and lowered his head in embarrassment, “When I come out, I will repay you.” He choked, a few drops of liquid falling from the ground in front of him, “If I die, I will repay this kindness in the next life.”
Jiao Bai didn’t speak. He did believe in the afterlife, because he was a person who lived this life with memories of his previous life.
But,
Jiao Bai spread the reality in front of Liang Dong: “If you go in, there are many dark places in there, where you can be manipulated. You might not even be able to wait until the day the case is reopened.”
Liang Dong sat there blankly.
Jiao Bai: “…” That’s right, the wealthy young masters in the comics, how would they understand these things.
Liang Dong continued to plead with Jiao Bai, humbly and painfully: “Please… Please…”
He was now looking forward to the case being reopened, and the woman and several kidnappers, including Old Pan, being caught, investigated clearly, and how it should be. Instead of being like now, the case was hastily closed, all the people in his family were dead, leaving only him, and he still carried the reputation of a murderer.
Jiao Bai looked at the young man who had been arrogant and rude to him before, and suddenly said, “Liang Dong, do you blame me in your heart?”
Liang Dong stiffened.
Jiao Bai scratched his black hair that had been messed up by sleep a few times: “I designed to conspire with Qi Shuang to withdraw from the Shen Madam candidate, which led to Qi Shuang becoming the quasi-Shen Madam, and even set a registration date with Shen Ji, so you were treated as a thorn in my older sister’s side…”
The following words were interrupted by Liang Dong’s plea, he was still those three words: Please.
Jiao Bai snorted, I can’t even protect myself.
The third person in the room, Zhang Zhen, knew the situation and walked to Jiao Bai’s side, saying in a volume that only he could hear: “Those two crazy brothers of the Qi family planned two incidents today to deal with you, exposing their whereabouts. Now they are being hunted down by Shen Dong’s people and are busy running for their lives, so they can’t take care of you.”
As he spoke, he observed Jiao Bai, realizing that he was listening as if he were hearing a story.
Of course, Jiao Bai wasn’t touched. In the early-flavored bloody CEO comics, there were too many similar plots. The law was different for different people, it could be there or not, but everyone had their share of blood. “Broken Wings” was a big pot of early comics, with all kinds of plots.
“Are you really going to turn yourself in?” Jiao Bai’s gaze crossed Zhang Zhen and glanced at Liang Dong.
Liang Dong’s drooping head nodded. If he didn’t go, he would live in this nightmare for the rest of his life. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Qi Shuang lying in a pool of blood, stuffed in his trunk.
Qi Shuang walked away with his eyes open.
Liang Dong was too scared, he was going crazy.
“My sister took a fancy to Shen Dong at Fu Yuan Building. My parents wanted to send her abroad and had been hesitating. They should have sent her earlier,” Liang Dong’s legs began to tremble, and his whole body followed suit. He put his hand to his mouth and bit it hard, his voice muffled and astringent, “If they had sent her earlier, the later things wouldn’t have happened.”
“It’s also my fault. I was possessed. If I had sent Qi Shuang to the Qi family, confessed the part that my sister and I participated in, and my suspicions and thoughts, and knelt down to ask the Qi family elders to investigate again, it would have been better.” Liang Dong’s mouth had more blood in it. He was still biting down and wouldn’t let go, but his expression was trance-like, and his eyes weren’t focused, “I just wanted to bear what I should bear… My uncle used to be in the underworld in his early years and had some connections, but in order to hide me well, his whole life was ruined. I didn’t listen to him and didn’t throw away the phone card. I answered your call. He took me to change places to hide. I can’t drag him down anymore.”
Jiao Bai’s head was dizzy after listening to Liang Dong’s incoherent monologue.
“I’m going to tell the police everything I know and leave it to fate,” Liang Dong said hoarsely.
Including the truth, including his fate.
Zhang Zhen was busy with things on his phone. He took the time to say, “The police in South City are more stable than those in West City. When the Qi family didn’t collapse, they couldn’t even get their hands in, let alone after they collapsed. Kid, you should pray that someone doesn’t mind the trouble, doesn’t hate the wealthy and powerful, takes the truth more seriously than life, and is willing to spend time reopening the case.”
Liang Dong slowly got up and bowed deeply in the direction of Jiao Bai and Zhang Zhen.
Jiao Bai watched that way until Liang Dong’s waist had been bent for a long time, and his head had been lowered for a long time. When his eyes turned black and his body swayed, he went to see Zhang Zhen.
“My Third Brother is very busy, you let Shen Dong find someone to take the case.” Zhang Zhen moved his gaze away from the phone screen and gave Jiao Bai a rejecting look.
Jiao Bai sneered: “He’s useless, he can’t even find his son.”
“I heard about Young Master Shen’s matter, it’s understandable that he can’t be found.” Zhang Zhen had an expression of not agreeing very much, “Shen Dong is a solid businessman, and he came up smoothly. He doesn’t have much blood on his hands, nor is it strong. He is more suitable for waving his arms in the business world, and he is indeed a dominant force.”
Jiao Bai tsk tsk.
This beauty was speaking for Shen Ji, but the color blocks on the avatar all flipped up.
Was this rolling his eyes? Mocking Shen Ji’s overconfidence.
Jiao Bai also mocked him.
That old thing was dead on that point.
Zhang Zhen sent Liang Dong to the police station, and he didn’t tell Jiao Bai about the subsequent events.
Jiao Bai naturally didn’t know that Zhang Zhen had a friend who happened to be the kind of person he described and had a little interest.
Whether everything went smoothly for Liang Dong in the future was half up to human effort and half up to fate.
Zhang Zhen stayed in Xi Garden that night. He said that his Third Brother was coming here, and as a confidant, he would naturally accompany him.
Shen Ji had an engagement and didn’t come back.
Jiao Bai was pulled into the bed by Yu Xiang. The TV was on but he didn’t watch it, all he heard in his ear was his chattering voice.
“Gua Gua, Mr. Shen let you live in Xi Garden, the little sisters in the group said this is his residence, even his little lovers have never been here.” Yu Xiang flipped through the group records for Jiao Bai to see. He asked about Xi Garden in the group, and several mainstays of “Di Ye” jumped out to share information.
Jiao Bai was reading a book. Yes, a foreign original book, which he asked the bodyguards of Xi Garden to buy for him before dinner. He didn’t care what Shen Ji’s reaction was after he found out. What was wrong with studying?
“Will you forgive him, marry him, be loyal to him, and never abandon him, until the end of time?” Yu Xiang played with Jiao Bai’s hair.
The corners of Jiao Bai’s mouth twitched: “Am I sick?”
Yu Xiang blinked: “He’s very special to you, better than the other little lovers. If you teach him again, he has the potential to become your dog.”
Jiao Bai knew that Yu Xiang was testing him, so he didn’t call him out.
Teach what? I’m not Shen Ji’s father, sacrificing myself to let the other party grow.
“It’s so honorable to have a big shot as a dog.” Yu Xiang said again.
Jiao Bai turned the page of the book: “If a person forces you to kneel down to put on his shoes, makes your old injuries recur, drags you after you break three ribs, steps on your neck and doesn’t let you get up, whips you with a belt, slaps you in the face and makes the corners of your mouth split, half of your face swollen…”
“I’m going to kill him!” Yu Xiang rushed off the bed.
“Come back!” Seeing that Yu Xiang wasn’t listening, Jiao Bai picked up a pillow and threw it over, “Don’t just fight and kill at every turn, do you need to take some medicine?”
Yu Xiang’s pupils stagnated, and he cried “wow”.
Jiao Bai was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed.
“I’m not crying, don’t go.” Yu Xiang climbed back on the bed, pressing down on the quilt to prevent Jiao Bai from getting up, “Gua Gua, I don’t know why you want to come back to this annoying South City, if you’re here, I’ll be here with you, when you want to leave, don’t do it secretly, can you take me with you?”
Jiao Bai didn’t answer. He wouldn’t promise anything to anyone casually.
Yu Xiang squatted and lay on the quilt, staring straight at Jiao Bai for a moment: “Gua Gua, let me give you a necklace.”
Before Jiao Bai could say anything, Yu Xiang happily presented a black gold necklace to him.
“It’s used by the military for missions, super stealthy.” Yu Xiang winked, “The function is very awesome.”
Jiao Bai looked at the necklace. This thing could allow him to be monitored, but it could also give him a slightly higher chance of survival when he was in danger.
His neck felt cool.
Jiao Bai lowered his eyes and saw that the necklace had already been hung on him by Yu Xiang.
“Okay.” Yu Xiang stuffed the necklace into Jiao Bai’s collar, patted it, *My future sister-in-law, I gave you the life-saving charm that my brother gave me, you have to be well.*
At eight o’clock, the old house sent people to pick up Jiao Bai, with a firm attitude. They also said that Mr. Shen was also waiting there.
Yu Xiang made a fuss about going over, and Zhang Zhen from the next room came out and knocked him unconscious before he calmed down.
“Since the Shen family’s old house didn’t issue an invitation, it’s not convenient for me to go. Be careful yourself, and call me if anything happens.” Zhang Zhen stuffed a phone into Jiao Bai’s coat pocket, “My number is on it.”
Jiao Bai waved his hand and left.
Jiao Bai didn’t expect to have a late-night snack. He was afraid that he would have indigestion at the least, and be bedridden for half a month at the worst.
Who knew that this late-night snack banquet was even more bloody than he thought.
After he entered the door, the Old Lady put on a family meeting, talking a lot about how he and Qi Shuang planned the car accident and how the master threatened the Shen family.
In the end, the Old Lady kindly said, “Xiao Bai, you must also know that the Qi family has already paid the price for this. Although you are the mastermind, you are about to register with A Ji, so I won’t care about the past.”
However, Jiao Bai held his breath, there must be a big move in the back.
Sure enough, the Old Lady, after much deliberation, made a big move.
The Old Lady said that she wanted him to learn a lesson and made him kneel as a punishment.
“Mom.” Shen Ji, who had been sitting on the sofa for half a day without saying anything, opened his mouth, “There’s no need to kneel.”
“Every family has its rules.” The Old Lady fiddled with the prayer beads, “Whether it’s you, or An An, or other members of the Shen family, if you do something wrong, you have to kneel in the ancestral hall.”
Shen Ji’s eyebrows furrowed, and then he heard the Old Lady say, “Family members have to abide by this family rule.”
“Xiao Bai is your wife, with the surname Shen, A Ji, don’t you think so?” The Old Lady was using a series of tricks.
The lines between Shen Ji’s eyebrows stretched slightly, he swept towards the young man with a very bad complexion, and the lines deepened again: “Mom, he wasn’t a member of the Shen family when he did something wrong.”
“If he wasn’t a member of the Shen family, he wouldn’t be able to stand here unharmed!” The Old Lady reprimanded.
Shen Ji put down his crossed legs.
The Old Lady looked at her youngest son with turbid eyes that still retained their sharpness. She knew that he was influenced by the Shen family’s genes and power, and family affection occupied a very small proportion of his world. The Old Lady pinched the prayer beads, lowered her eyes and sat on the wheelchair for a while, and used a backup strategy: “A Ji, you can indulge Xiao Bai, but if he doesn’t kneel, Mom can’t explain to the ancestors.”
“Your uncles and uncles have also called several times to ask for a result.” The Old Lady lowered her posture, “There’s almost an hour left for the late-night snack, let him kneel until then, what do you think?”
Jiao Bai captured that after Shen Ji heard what the Old Lady said, he showed a look of consideration. His knees reflexively throbbed with pain. He had knelt down, just on the night he came to this world, Shen Ji kicked him to the ground and made him kneel at his feet.
Was it going to happen again now?
For Shen Ji, he probably felt that kneeling wasn’t anything, it was still the fastest way to solve the problem. If he kept making trouble, he would get a headache and be annoyed, and it would be fine if it could be turned over.
Jiao Bai put his hand into his pocket, and the phone that Zhang Zhen gave him was taken away by Shen Ji when he entered the door. Now his pockets were empty, he didn’t touch anything, just like his life, he had nothing, even this life was still being earned.
Forcing himself to eat shit to earn his life.
Jiao Bai took a half step back under the Old Lady’s stern gaze. This Shen family, except for Shen Er An, who hadn’t yet turned into a scum, disgusted him.
