Chapter 334: Soft and Hard
Bai Zhengyi contacted Zhao Qiankun at the wrong time, which happened to offend Zhao Qiankun's taboo, so Zhao Qiankun didn't even give him face, and his tone revealed a strong dissatisfaction. Although Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi were hypocritical, they were very restrained when it came to women and never messed around.
At this moment, the two were anxious about the research institute's affairs, and had not thought about what Zhao Qiankun might be doing at this time. In their hearts, they regarded Zhao Qiankun as a suspect, and when they heard his impatient voice, they subconsciously thought that Zhao Qiankun had a trump card, so he dared to be so arrogant in front of them, and was too lazy to even do superficial work.
As for Zhao Qiankun's trump card, it was naturally the evidence he found from the research institute and Dr. Sun about the Bai family conducting experiments on living people!
Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi had something to hide, so after hearing Zhao Qiankun's impatient voice, their original suspicion turned into certainty, and they also became more convinced that Zhao Qiankun did have unfavorable evidence against them. So even though they were angry, they didn't dare to get angry at Zhao Qiankun.
Bai Zhengyi's face was twisted into a somewhat hideous shape, but his words were relatively calm: "There should be no irrelevant people on Captain Zhao's side, right?" He was a very cautious person, and did not get straight to the point, but asked a question first.
Zhao Qiankun was not a fool. When he heard what he said, he knew that he must have something to say. He hesitated for a moment, and let Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin go out first. Han Lingxi's eyes moved, and she kissed him on the cheek, gave him a look that said "I'll wait for you", and then she obediently picked up the bath towel beside her, wrapped herself up, got out of bed and walked out.
Cheng Lin was somewhat reluctant to move, but after being looked at by Zhao Qiankun, she gritted her teeth, stood up, and went out also wrapped in a bath towel.
The door was gently closed with a slight "click" sound. Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi on the other side heard it and their faces changed again - there was someone in Zhao Qiankun's room!
They didn't care about whether the person in Zhao Qiankun's room was a man or a woman at this time. They just felt ashamed and angry! Zhao Qiankun actually spoke to them so rudely in front of other people! He was too arrogant. Did he really think that with those things, the Bai family would be afraid of him?
Bai Yi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Bai Zhengyi glared at him and told him to shut up. Bai Yi was a little reluctant, but suddenly saw Bai Zhengyi pointing at the communicator in his hand. Then he realized that Bai Zhengyi was afraid that what he said would be heard by Zhao Qiankun on the other end of the communicator!
He stopped talking and pursed his lips, listening to what Bai Zhengyi was going to say to Zhao Qiankun.
As soon as Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin left, Zhao Qiankun felt uncomfortable all over. Lying alone on the wide bed, he felt lonely. He suddenly became more dissatisfied with Bai Zhengyi. What time was it? Why did he look for him?
So his tone became even more impatient: "Master Bai, there is no one else in the room now, just say whatever you want to say."
Bai Zhengyi was very dissatisfied with Zhao Qiankun's attitude, but since he had the upper hand, he could only bite his teeth and swallow his anger! He said, "Captain Zhao, let's not beat around the bush. You did the research institute thing, didn't you?"
Research Institute? What research institute?
Zhao Qiankun was stunned by Bai Zhengyi's question. But he was quick-witted. It was almost ten o'clock, and Bai Zhengyi actually contacted him on his own initiative. He was obviously panicking. Was the research institute he mentioned the secret research institute set up by Bai Yi? Something happened there? And Bai Zhengyi suspected that he was the one who did it?
Zhao Qiankun was about to deny it, but suddenly thought, if the secret research institute was destroyed just for him, Bai Zhengyi would be completely furious, and he might even bring people to seek revenge on him. Why would he panic like this? Yes, the things in that research institute are all shameful! Could it be that Bai Zhengyi thought that he got some evidence that was unfavorable to the Bai family from it?
Zhao Qiankun laughed when he thought of this. He did have evidence about the Bai family, but the incident at the Bai family's secret research institute had nothing to do with him. He had originally thought of letting Bai Ye and Bai Yi fight each other to consume the strength of the White Wolf Mercenary Group, and then after a while, he would use the evidence in his hand to ruin the reputation of the Bai family. However, since Bai Zhengyi took the initiative to deliver it to him, he would be sorry for himself if he didn't do something!
So Zhao Qiankun deliberately said, "I don't know what Patriarch Bai means by this. Patriarch Bai, why don't you just bring out the topic? I really don't understand you if you're being so evasive."
Bai Zhengyi was not stupid. How could he make such a thing clear? Once he said it clearly, wouldn't it be the same as admitting it himself? Once Zhao Qiankun recorded the call, it would be ironclad evidence to bring down the Bai family!
So he sneered and said, "Captain Zhao, you and I know this, it's not good to make it too clear. Although Captain Zhao's Qiankun Mercenary Group is good, the Bai family's White Wolf Mercenary Group is not something that everyone can bully. Instead of fighting each other to the point of losing and letting others take advantage, it's better to join forces. I have always admired young talents like Captain Zhao, but young people should not be too impulsive. It's better to think twice before acting. What do you think?"
His words were both soft and hard, expressing his admiration for Zhao Qiankun and his willingness to cooperate with him, and warning him not to go too far, otherwise the White Wolf Mercenary Group would definitely fight back desperately, and by then they would both suffer losses, and others would only take advantage.
Zhao Qiankun understood what Bai Zhengyi meant as soon as he heard it. He sneered in his heart and was very disdainful of Bai Zhengyi's sanctimonious face. However, he touched his chin and said, "In that case, I will be waiting for Master Bai at Qiankun Hotel at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
This meant that he was willing to cooperate, but Bai Zhengyi had to come to Qiankun Hotel to meet him in person tomorrow. Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi both understood what he meant, and their faces turned completely black in anger, becoming more and more hideous.
However, they had something in Zhao Qiankun's hands, and even though they knew that they would be inferior to Zhao Qiankun, they still had to go. Once the secret research institute was made public, even if the Bai family retaliated against Zhao Qiankun, they would not be able to change the outcome of being ruined, which was the worst case scenario. Therefore, as long as they could shut Zhao Qiankun up, it would not matter even if they temporarily gave up some of their interests!
Bai Zhengyi almost gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll come tomorrow." After he said that, he listened to the chuckle coming from the loudspeaker and was so angry that he almost smashed the communicator in his hand!
As soon as he hung up the phone, Bai Yi couldn't help but speak up: "Dad! Zhao Qiankun is really going too far!"
Bai Zhengyi stared at him intently and said in a cold tone: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to endure his anger! How dare you say that! Get out! Think carefully about what to do next!"
Bai Yi didn't dare to say anything this time. He bit his lips tightly and even tasted the taste of rust! He knew very well that Bai Zhengyi was right. If he hadn't set up such a secret research institute, Bai Zhengyi wouldn't have to endure Zhao Qiankun's anger!
He gritted his teeth, lowered his head and promised: "Dad, don't worry, I will never make the same mistake a second time!"
On the other side, after Zhao Qiankun hung up the call, he dialed a number. After the call was connected, a slightly cold and unique voice came from the speaker: "Captain Zhao."
Zhao Qiankun asked directly: "Did something happen to Bai Yi's secret research institute?"
Soon, the other party said, "As expected of Captain Zhao, you are well-informed. That place was completely destroyed. Bai Yi arranged two level three psychics and one hundred level two psychics there, plus fifteen researchers and thirty-two test subjects. Not a single one was left alive. All the instruments and equipment inside were destroyed, and the precious research materials in the safe were all gone. We don't know who did it yet, but the other party is very strong. In addition, Bai Yi suspects that it was you who did it."
Zhao Qiankun didn't feel angry at all, instead he smiled smugly: "So to speak, Bai Yi and Bai Zhengyi really think highly of me. But...how come there is such a powerful force in the Bei City base? When the accident happened, there was no movement at all?"
The other party replied, "Yes, this is the weird part. Logically, there are two level three psychics and hundreds of level two psychics in there, all of whom are Bai Yi's trusted men. No matter how powerful they are, there is no reason for them to not make any moves." He paused here and suddenly asked, "Captain Zhao, did you really do this? The incident happened at the same time you left the hall. It's just too coincidental. It's impossible not to be suspicious."
Zhao Qiankun didn't laugh this time. He just said lightly: "Okay, I got it, continue to monitor." After that, he hung up the call.
Then, Zhao Qiankun stroked his chin and pondered. This was indeed not done by him, but as the other party said just now, it was too weird. Who did it? How could he not know that there was such a person in the Bei City base?
Zhao Qiankun was secretly alert, and then he suddenly remembered Fang Yuxin's family who had left at that time. However, he did not doubt that they were the ones who did it. The Fang family members were all second-level psychics, and their strength was also ordinary. It was impossible for them to do such a thing. But that Bai Ye was much more suspicious!
He thought of Fang Yuxin mainly because Fang Yuxin's family had also left at that time. After he came back, he was still thinking about how to keep Fang Yuxin and make her his woman, but unexpectedly, when he returned to the hall, Fang Yuxin had disappeared! Fortunately, Bai Ye, who had an ambiguous relationship with Fang Yuxin, stayed, otherwise he didn't dare to think about what he would do.
Thinking of Bai Ye, his face turned ugly. It would be fine if this man dared to snatch a woman from him, but he even dared to embarrass him in public! Zhao Qiankun smiled coldly with a gloomy face. He thought about how to cooperate with Bai Zhengyi tomorrow!
