In her previous life, Lin XiaZhu and her sister were forced by their family to earn money; both reluctantly went into the mountains to search for ginseng, but accidentally fell off a cliff. Her sis...
The two were shocked. Neither of them expected that the young mistress would have such strength. If she were to strike them with a palm, their bones would be broken and their lives would be in danger.
"If I don't show my power, do you all think I'm a pushover? I'll give you three minutes to think about what you're going to say. Tell the truth, if I'm not satisfied, I'll immediately let you taste the power of my fists. Anyway, the Bai family is rich. If I injure you, I can just heal you. But the pain of broken bones and mangled flesh is not something to be taken lightly."
In order to get them to tell the truth, Lin Xiazhu disregarded her image and portrayed herself as a great demon, as if she wanted to cut people into a thousand pieces.
The two men shuddered. What were they to do? If they told the truth, they would not be able to stay with Young Master Bai after this, and the consequences would be just as severe. They would probably have no way out.
But the young mistress was also in a difficult position. If they lied, she might punch them in the face the next second. The two were caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
Just then, Bai Ruan returned from outside. He had just come back from the company and it wasn't time to get off work yet. However, he had received some news about Lin Taozi, so he was in a hurry to come back and discuss it with Lin Xiazhu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw two bodyguards kneeling down in fear.
It's really unsettling to see two burly men acting so cowardly.
When he saw the table in front of Lin Xiazhu shattered into pieces, his expression changed and his brows furrowed even more. Lin Xiazhu hadn't been angry in a long time, let alone laid a hand on anyone. What happened today that made her so angry that she smashed the table on the spot?
"What exactly happened? You two, tell me quickly." Bai Ru'an's face was gloomy, and her usually aloof peach blossom eyes were now terrifyingly sinister.
Well, in the Bai family, everyone used to be afraid of the old master and young master Bai, but after the young master came back, everyone had another person to fear. It is said that the young master is good at pricking people with needles, and anyone who is pricked will inevitably be paralyzed on one side and unable to move.
In more severe cases, they may foam at the mouth and have convulsions. They may know that this is because they can identify acupoints and are skilled in acupuncture, but they don't understand. What if they get pricked and the doctor doesn't treat them?
That's right. In their eyes, the young master is very vengeful and extremely protective of his own. Although Bai Shao is his uncle, no uncle is as close as his wife.
Moreover, everyone with eyes can see how much the young mistress dotes on the young mistress. Now that they have offended the young mistress, the young master will definitely hold a grudge against him.
After exchanging glances, the two reached a consensus and decided to confess honestly.
"The young mistress asked us to investigate her sister's affairs, but we didn't do it..." Because as soon as they got off the plane in the United States, Bai Junbai stopped them and took them to a hotel, instructing them not to do this or that. They treated the trip abroad as a vacation, eating and drinking all day long, and didn't dare to investigate at all.
"It was your uncle who told you not to investigate. Why?" Bai Ru'an frowned, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the thing he most wanted to happen had really happened?
"I don't know. Young Master Bai told us not to ask, and we didn't dare to ask either. We just did as he instructed to deal with the young mistress. He also said he would take us away afterward."
afterwards?
"The Bai family's money isn't used to support people for nothing. Are you all useless? You know nothing. I'll give you a few more minutes to think carefully about what you actually know." Bai Ru'an closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were even colder.
The two men turned pale and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye. After a long while, one of them spoke in a low voice, "We once happened to see Young Master Bai and the young mistress's sister going out to eat together. The two were behaving intimately."
The phrase "intimate behavior" conveys a great deal of information.
Bai Ru'an gritted her teeth first, then sneered. These two had clearly been secretly following her uncle and knew some things about him, but they pretended not to know and wanted to keep it from Xiao Zhu.
"Do you have something on your uncle because you want him to give you more money? Or do you have other plans, like some outsider trying to exploit his weakness?" It wasn't that he was overthinking things; his uncle's business abroad was developing too fast, and many people were starting to get jealous. Those with impure motives might very well make a move against him.
“Young Master, we would never dare to have any designs on Young Master Bai, let alone collude with outsiders to frame him. We were just afraid of ending up like this today, so we didn’t want to be completely clueless. If the old man asks us a question and we can’t answer a single one, then we’re finished.”
Although Bai Zhengping has stopped managing affairs in recent years, he still retains the authority he had in his youth. Most of these bodyguards were brought back from orphanages by him and raised from a young age. He has put in a lot of effort and money. If he raises a useless person, well, that would be a disaster.
Bai Junbai also had a habit of cultivating confidants, but these two happened to be people cultivated by Bai Zhengping, so they ended up serving Bai Zhengping. Although Bai Zhengping hadn't used these people for a long time, they were always ready to be at his beck and call, and they wouldn't dare not tell the truth about anything he wanted to know.
However, Bai Zhengping's attention is no longer on his youngest son. He is very close to his three great-grandsons, raising and spoiling them, and doesn't care about Bai Junbai's life or death.
So, asking someone about Bai Junbai's situation? That's not an option.
"Behaving intimately? What do you mean? Is there something between Taozi and her uncle that I don't know about?" Lin Xiazhu was shocked, with a bad feeling in her heart, but she couldn't believe it, or rather, she didn't dare to believe it.
"No, I have to go abroad immediately and find Taozi to find out what's going on!" Lin Xiazhu was so angry that her heart ached and she swayed for a moment.
Bai Ru'an rushed over and hugged her, looking at her pale face with concern, "Xiao Zhu, how are you?"
“I’m fine, An. I need to go abroad, right now,” Lin Xiazhu gasped for breath, tears streaming down her face. “I don’t believe it. I have to see it with my own eyes.”
How could Taozi possibly be with Bai Junbai? Wasn't she most afraid of Bai Junbai? She even complained that he was just as promiscuous as Song Yuheng, having slept with too many women. How could she possibly be interested in him? That old man Bai Junbai is a full seventeen years older than her! What a tragedy.
"Okay, I know. Don't be like this. Relax and don't hurt yourself. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it." Bai Ru'an was also furious, his face turning ashen. It wasn't that he hadn't had his doubts, but he trusted his uncle's character and thought he wouldn't do something like an old cow eating young grass or eating grass near his own nest.
Who knew he would actually do it, and even abduct her abroad? He probably took advantage of her completely.
"Get out, get far away, don't let the young mistress see you again." Bai Ruru vented her anger on the two of them, who couldn't wait to get out of there, and immediately took off running.
But where should they go now that they're out? It seems they can't stay at the Bai family anymore; the young mistress doesn't want to see them anymore. Going abroad would be difficult to explain to Young Master Bai. After thinking about it, they decided to go find the old man instead.
So, Bai Zhengping was playing chess with other old men in a private room at a high-end club when the two bastards found him and complained to him.
"Are you saying that Junbai has taken a liking to Lin Taozi and has run away with her?" Bai Zhengping said with a serious expression, pacing back and forth. "When we asked him to look for her, he refused. Now he has secretly run away with his niece's youngest sister behind everyone's back. What does he want?"
